Much academic literature exists surrounding the relationship between government size and economic output at the federal level, yet only a few studies investigate such a relationship at the sub-federal level. This work ...
Biosurfactants: Characterization, Microemulsion Formation and Potential Applications
(2009)
Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ...
Semi-active structural control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics: Design, stability analysis, and experimental verification.
(2001)
The dissertation presents the development and experimental validation of control laws that provide stable closed-loop behavior and good performance for semi-active control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics. In ...
College students with disabilities: Building self-determination and self-efficacy.
(2004)

(2002)
To defend itself, a liberal democracy should promote three virtues: solidarity, tolerance, and reflective obedience. Each helps avoid the conditions Plato fears. Solidarity builds a sense of community to overcome factionalism. ...
Verification of microbial ethanol formation in humans by examination of postmortem indoleamine metabolites.
(2004)
Toxicological examination of fatal aviation accident victims routinely includes analysis of ethanol levels. Two distinct questions immediately arise when considering such analyses. The first is, can we stop ethanol production ...
