Karo kari (honor killing) in Pakistan: A hermeneutic study of various discourses.
(2003)
Honor killing is one form of extreme violence perpetrated on women by men. In Pakistan it is called karo kari (literarally: blackened man, blackened woman). It most commonly is a premeditated killing of a girl or woman, ...
Excluding the masses: Aptitude in classical and modern rhetorical theory.
(2003)
In my discussions of how aptitude operates in the composition theory of the United States, I explore current-traditional, expressivist, and social rhetorics. Although classical commonplaces persist, I argue that American ...
Geometrical Effects in Determination of Fickian Mass Diffusivity of Polymers
(2003)
Hydrophilicity of polymers makes them prone to moisture absorption that leads to degradation of mechanical properties. Kinetics of moisture ingress needs to be fully characterized to perform reliable designs with polymeric ...
Analysts' earnings forecast revisions and errors in antidumping (AD) petition investigations.
(2003)
Previous assessments of the value of antidumping (AD) petitions have utilized event studies. These estimate the significance of abnormal returns to security holders of the pertinent firms at important decision dates in the ...
Many-body dimensional perturbation theory for quantum confined systems with a focus on atomic gas Bose-Einstein condensates.
(2003)
Feshbach resonances notwithstanding, most experimentally realized atomic-vapor condensates are dilute and are best described by the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For this reason, we use dimensional scaling methods ...

Thermal stratification in a liquid storage tank using an inlet porous manifold.
(2003)
In the second part, a storage tank was constructed. The dimensions were kept as close as possible to those used in the previous study. A number of experiments were conducted to investigate the conditions necessary for ...
Maturational Delay is Not a Cause of Bedwetting
(Clinical Pediatrics, 2003-11-01)
Computational studies of polymer electrolyte complexes by molecular dynamics and molecular vibrations by principal component analysis.
(2003)
The second part (Chapter 4 and 5) focuses on computing vibrational frequencies and modes by using a new technique, principal component analysis (PCA) which is broadly used in signal processing, pattern recognition, and ...
