(2015-05)
The main objective of this study is to prepare a better material, i.e. stronger, lighter, heat impact and gas permeable for aerospace application. In recent years, the development of filler/epoxy composites has shown large ...
Ehrlichia spp. of dogs: Risk of infection, persistence of rickettsemia, and impact on reinfection
(2015-05)
The research presented in this dissertation was conducted to further understanding of Ehrlichia spp. infections in dogs in the U.S. and Haiti. In chapter 3, to determine the risk of infection posed to dogs exposed to ticks ...
Fracture behavior and time dependent properties of poss-epoxy nanocomposites
(2015-07)
This study investigates the fundamental mechanism that governs the influence of glycidyl POSS on the time-dependent behavior of epoxy-POSS composite as a function of added weight percent. Different formulation of POSS-epoxy ...
Measurement and analysis of natural video masked dynamic discrete cosine transform noise detectability
(2015-05)
Lossy video compression lowers fidelity and can leave visual artifacts. Current video compression algorithms are guided by quality assessment tools designed around subjective data based on aggressive video compression. ...

With the trends of promoting reward membership program, launching technological innovations, and rebranding in the hotel industry, hotel brand love should be examined in hospitality studies because several innovative ...
Monomial resolutions
(2015-05)
We construct the minimal resolutions of three classes of monomial ideals: dominant, 1-semidominant, and 2-semidominant ideals. The families of dominant and 1-semidominant ideals extend those of complete and almost complete ...
