Environmental (natural and anthropogenic) effects on host-parasite (snail-trematode) interactions
(2016-05)
This dissertation explored environmental effects on host-parasite interactions. Chapter 2 was published in Ecotoxicology and assessed the effects of the herbicide atrazine on freshwater snails. The results indicated that ...
Effects of ion irradiation on the surface mechanical behavior of hybrid sol-gel derived silicate thin films
(2007-05)
A study on the effects of ion irradiation on the surface mechanical behavior of hybrid sol-gel derived thin films has been performed. Hybrid organic/inorganic modified silicate thin films were synthesized by sol-gel ...
Measurements of viscoelastic properties by nanoindentation
(2007-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Nanoindentation technique was used to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. Methods were developed to measure linearly viscoelastic properties of polymers using nanoindentation. For ...
Remote Sensing Analysis and Implications for Groundwater Resources in the Kharga Basin, Egypt
(2016-05-01)
Identifying new groundwater resources in Africa is important because climate change may cause the Nile recharge to decrease by the end of the century, affecting water stability in the eleven countries that rely on this ...
Institutional capabilities and entrepreneurial advantage: Bridging the gap between regulatory management and opportunity
(2014-07)
Firms are increasingly using tactics to manipulate their regulatory constraints, while at the same time regulatory environments are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic. Although scholars have described many of the ...
Study of adult learning assumptions as applied to online course design strategies
(2005-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of the study is to discover and interpret the archived narrative responses of adult learners having completed online courses to ascertain how effectively these courses deliver course ...
Analysis and implementation of decimal arithmetic hardware in nanometer CMOS technology
(2008-07)
Scope and Method of Study: In today's society, decimal arithmetic is growing considerably in importance given its relevance in financial and commercial applications. Decimal calculations on binary hardware significantly ...
Evaluation of Cold In-place Recycling for Rehabilitation of Transverse Cracking on Us 412
(Oklahoma State University, 2007-05-01)
The objectives of this thesis were to evaluate the dynamic modulus of Cold Inplace Recycling (CIR) mixture made with one reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and four different emulsions and to compare the results with the ...
