MULTIPHYSICS ANALYSIS OF HIGH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ELECTROZIPPER PERISTALTIC MICROPUMP
(2012)
The problem investigated in this dissertation is that of designing and developing a micropump for on-chip applications that have requirements for simultaneous high differential pressures and high flow rates, particularly ...
Insulin signaling regulates neurite growth during ecdysone-dependent neuronal remodeling
(2012)
The morphological rearrangement of neurons to accommodate new functions or activities is called "neuronal remodeling". Although neuronal remodeling is an important feature of nervous systems, the mechanisms governing the ...
Reproducing (Dis)Advantage: The Role of Family-based, School-based, and Cumulative-based Processes
(2012)
Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural and social reproduction (Bourdieu 1973; Bourdieu and Passeron 1977) offers a model that can be used to explain the existence of persistent educational stratification in the United States, ...
Invariant vectors and level raising operators in representations of the p-adic group GL(3)
(2012)
Each irreducibel, admissible representation (&pi,V) of GL(n) over a non-archimedean local field F has associated fixed vector spaces VK(m), for K(m) a compact-open subgroup of GL(n). It is known that there exists some ...
Vested Interest and Disaster Preparedness
(2012)
In recent years the United States has recognized an increasing need for individual-level disaster preparedness, with federal, state and local government agencies finding only limited success in their efforts to institute ...
Predicting Scientific Creativity: The Role of Adversity, Collaborations, and Work Procedures
(2012)
There is little doubt that career experiences are held to contribute to scientific achievement, however this relationship has yet to be thoroughly investigated in terms the effects on scientific creativity. In the present ...
Materiality and Meaning at an Annual Harvest Gathering
(2012)
Every autumn, people from diverse walks of life gather for a four-day Harvest Gathering at the home of a Native American flute-maker and musician who is widely recognized as a tradition-bearer. Gathered from the wide social ...
CONSTANT-pH MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS
(2012)
Constant-pH molecular dynamics has recently emerged as a useful technique for studying the microscopic details underlying pH dependent properties of proteins. We further develop continuous constant-pH molecular dynamics ...
Stochastic Life Cycle Cost Analysis for Sustainable Pavement Preservation Treatments
(2012)
Classic engineering economic theory was developed to furnish the analyst a tool to
Symmetric Tensors and Combinatorics for Finite-Dimensional Representations of Symplectic Lie Algebras
(2012)
First, we develop a result using multilinear algebra to prove, in an elementary way, a useful identity between representations of $\mathfrak{sp}(4, \mathbb{C})$, which involves writing any irreducible representation as a ...
