Novel microparticulate and monolithic stationary phases for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and affinity chromatography
(2016-12)
The overall objective of this dissertation is to develop novel polar silica-based and monolithic-based stationary phases for the separation of a wide range of polar solutes by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) ...
Optimum Preplant Nitrogen Rates in Winter Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) And Maize (Zea Mays L.)
(2016-07-01)
The optimum amount of preplant nitrogen (N) for winter wheat changes from year to year and depends greatly on the production environment in which it is grown. Optimizing mid-season N rates is possible using normalized ...
Comparison of Water Quality and Quantity in Eastern Redcedar-encroached Woodland and Native Tallgrass Prairie Watersheds: A Monitoring and Modeling Study
(2016-07-01)
The encroachment of Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) has become a major concern across the Great Plains region. This species has diminished ecological benefits provided by the grasslands they are replacing. It was ...
Impact of different curing methods and drying conditions on drying shrinkage induced curling
(2016-12)
Prolonged wet curing is thought by many to provide only improvements in concrete performance. Also, because of the large surface to volume ratio of volume change sensitive structures such as slabs on grade, differential ...
Parental Motivational Beliefs and Involvement in School
(2016-07-01)
Despite educational reform efforts to increase parent involvement in the local schools, discrepancies continue to exist between parents� desire to be involved and their actual involvement in the education of their children. ...
Three essays in applied economics on labor supply decisions
(2016-05)
The present study contains three applied economic essays which empirically investigate regional and educational factors influencing labor supply decisions. The first essay uses minimum distance from work PUMA centroid to ...
Biomedical signal processing and inference in wearable sensing applications
(2016-12)
With the increase in health care costs, there is a great need to develop a low-cost and efficient health care system with better accessibility. Recent advances in the fields of embedded sensing, mobile computing, and ...
Coaxial and triaxial structured fibers by electrospinning for tissue engineering and sustained drug release
(2016-05)
Coaxial and triaxial electrospinning are novel methods for fabrication of multilayered nano and micro-size fibers with desirable features such as co-solution blending, reinforced core, porous and hollow structure. However, ...
Statistics of the number of real zeros of random orthogonal polynomials
(2016-05)
We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials Pn(x)=sum_{j=0}^n cjpj(x), where {pj(x)}{j=0}^\infinity is a set of orthonormal polynomials with respect to some measure, ...
Sustainable Fashion Development: Applying Transformational Design
(2016-12-01)
Fashion is like the high-speed rotation of a tire. Fashion trends change frequently; consumers purchase various fashion products according to their consumption behaviors and psychologies. Simultaneously, the fashion industry ...
