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 ...
MULTI-MODAL BEHAVIOR AND CLUSTERING IN DYNAMICAL SYSTEM WITH APPLICATIONS TO WIND FARMS
(2009)
he objective of this research is to develop a comprehensive model identification approach for complex multi-modal systems based on spectral theory for nonreversible Markov process that entails (i)model reduction techniques ...
Effects of Equivalence Ratio and Iodine Number on NOx Emissions from the Flames of Biofuels and Hydrocarbons
(2009)
Increased energy consumption in the United States has led to a demand for the development of new bio-derived fuels. As biofuels are used more frequently in diesel and gasoline engines it has become increasingly important ...
THE ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL EXTREME HALOPHILIC ARCHAEA FROM A LOW-SALT, SULFIDE- AND SULFUR-RICH SPRING.
(2009)
The archaeal community of a low-salt, sulfur-rich spring in south-western Oklahoma, was analyzed at two different locations along the spring. Interestingly, 36% of the archaeal mat clone library and 4% of the source clone ...
SELECTED FACTORS RELATED TO PERCEIVED LEGITIMACY OF MANAGEMENT INNOVATIONS AND THE SUBSEQUENT ADOPTION OF MANAGEMENT INNOVATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
(2009)
In 2001, Richard Birnbaum observed that management innovations, when introduced to higher education via the business sector, followed a lifecycle that led to rejection of the management innovation. The purpose of this study ...
MECHANISTIC INVESTIGATION OF ADDITIONS TO ALKENES
(2009)
We have conducted correlation studies on ten alkene addition reactions in this project in order to explore the substituent effects on alkene reactivity in these reactions. In these studies, we have correlated the relative ...
IV-VI LEAD SALT MID-INFRARED LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE DESIGN, FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATIONIV-VI LEAD SALT MID-INFRARED LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE DESIGN, FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION
(2009)
The research detailed by this dissertation has demonstrated the design, fabrication, and characterization of lead salt semiconductor mid-infrared light emitting devices. A scrupulous theoretical model has been described ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TIMBRE PREFERENCE, PERSONALITY TRAITS, GENDER, AND MUSIC INSTRUMENT SELECTION OF PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND STUDENTS
(2009)
PAYNE, PHILLIP DAVID, Ph.D. An Investigation of Relationships Between Timbre Preference, Personality Traits, Gender, and Music Instrument Selection of Public School Band Students. (2009)
EXPLORING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE AGILE BEAM PHASED ARRAY WEATHER RADAR
(2009)
Weather radar researchers have long been eager to exploit the capabilities of phased array antennas, but high cost and technical complexity have postponed their widespread use in radar meteorology. With the aging of the ...
Effect of lipid modification and AcrA-lipid interactions on the structure and oligomerization of AcrA
(2009)
A wide range of antibacterial agents including antibiotics can be expelled out of the cell by AcrAB-TolC complex. In this complex, the membrane fusion protein AcrA is located in the periplasm and essential for drug efflux. ...
