Development and characterization of encapsulated thrombolytic formulations to enhance thrombolysis.
(2003)
The potential benefit of MESK was also explored in a canine model of coronary thrombosis, a clinically relevant model of myocardial infarction. Compared to FREE SK (68 +/- 7 min), MESK significantly reduced the time to ...
The anaerobic biodegradation of ethylcyclopentane and intermediates of benzoate metabolism by microorganisms from a hydrocarbon-contaminated aquifer.
(2003)
In this thesis, I examine the microbial degradation of an alicyclic hydrocarbon and the intermediates of benzoate decay under anaerobic conditions. Ethylcyclopentane was chosen as a model alicyclic hydrocarbon because GC ...
Home only long enough: Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary, American science, nationalism, and philanthropy, 1886--1908.
(2003)
American Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary tried for twenty-six years to be the first man to reach the North Pole. The dissertation focuses on Peary's stateside efforts to raise money for his multiple expeditions. During his ...
Numerical simulations of cyclic storm behavior: Mesocyclogenesis and tornadogenesis.
(2003)
Building upon previous work that examined the dynamics and model sensitivity of cyclic mesocyclogenesis, this study uses idealized numerical simulations to investigate the cyclic redevelopment of vertical vortices in ...
TriM: Tri-modal data communication in mobile ad-hoc network database systems.
(2003)
The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an emerging area of research in the network and database communities. A MANET is a group of self-organizing, autonomous clients and servers that form temporary networks. A MANET allows ...
An optimally well-localized multi-channel parallel perfect reconstruction filter bank.
(2003)
Joint uncertainty for the overall L-channel, one-dimensional, parallel filter bank is quantified by a metric which is a weighted sum of the time and frequency localizations of the individual filters. Evidence is presented ...
My father's name was Zahtah: Constructing the life history of Alfred Chalepah, Sr.
(2003)
This work examines the life history project of an elderly Native American man. Narratives were recorded during four years of fieldwork. Analysis examines the ways in which elders construct their own identity and draw past ...
The middle surface concept and its application to constitutive modeling of soils.
(2003)
The modeling of stress-strain behavior of geomaterials, such as soils, is key to the accurate analyses of complicated geotechnical engineering structures. Traditional elastoplastic modeling concepts, characterized by a ...
Embodiments of power: Nineteenth-century warrior art among the Cheyennes and Kiowas.
(2003)
Events recorded in ledger book drawings served to indoctrinate boys and youths into a culturally prescribed martial mindset. Scenes centering on warfare, hunting, or courtship expounded a set of social behaviors that were ...
Laboratory and model prediction of rutting in asphalt concrete.
(2003)
Rutting is one of the major distresses of flexible pavement. It is defined as the formation of longitudinal depressions under the wheel paths caused by the progressive movement of materials under traffic loading in the ...
