ADVANCES TOWARD THE UTILIZATION OF CUCURBIT[7]URIL AND SELECTED VIOLOGENS IN MOLECULAR MACHINES AND DEVICES
(2013-10-18)
The study of technology at the molecular level is the perhaps the final frontier in materials science, and is fertile ground for the application of supramolecular chemistry. Cucurbit[7]uril is a particularly unique ...
HIT LIST: PRESIDENT CARTER'S REVIEW OF RECLAMATION WATER PROJECTS AND HIS IMPACT ON FEDERAL WATER POLICY
(2013)
This dissertation investigates changes in funding of federal water projects and the development of new water policies during the administrations of Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. I conclude that these events ...
Cardiovascular and Muscular Responses to Eight Weeks of Resistance Exercise Training in Young and Older Women
(2013)
PURPOSE: Resistance training is recommended for all adults of both sexes. The time-course of muscle hypertrophy in young and older women and the arterial stiffness and limb blood flow responses to resistance exercise in ...
Higgs Phenomenology in the Standard Model and Beyond at LHC
(2013)
In this dissertation, the discovery potential of neutral Higgs bosons has been discussed respectively in the Standard Model (SM), minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), and unified supersymmetric models. In the SM, ...
A SOCIETAL APPROACH TO SOCIAL SHAREHOLDER ACTIVISM: ORGANIZATIONAL LEGITIMACY, CORPORATE RESPONSES
(2013)
This study examined the voluntary compliance of corporations to societal pressures exerted by one type of stakeholder--shareholders. Specifically, from an organizational legitimacy perspective, the study investigated ...
CREATIVITY IN THE FUZZY FRONT END: THE INFLUENCE OF EVALUATION STRUCTURE AND CRITERIA
(2013)
Activities in the fuzzy front end of product development are critical for subsequent product performance. Despite calls to study these activities, relatively little research has focused on how to manage these early stage ...
Exploratory Case Studies of the Role of the Community School Coordinator: Developing the School Social Network in Urban Elementary Schools
(2013)
This exploratory case study examines the role of the community school coordinator (CSC) in the community school model in two urban elementary schools. It seeks to understand how the role and responsibilities of a community ...
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on carbon nanotube-supported catalysts in water-in-oil emulsion
(2013-12-04)
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is an important gas-to-liquids technology in the modern energy industry. The current trend is to carry it out in liquid reaction media in order to take advantage of good heat transfer, high ...
Manufacturing and Microstructural Modeling of Geometrically Complex Composite Components Produced by Bladder Assisted Composite Manufacturing (BACM)
(2013-12)
In the first part of the dissertation a new manufacturing method, Bladder Assisted Composite Manufacturing (BACM), to fabricate geometrically complex, hollow polymeric composite parts is presented. The BACM process utilizes ...
Channel detection on two-dimensional magnetic recording
(2013)
Two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) coupled with shingled-magnetic recording (SMR) is one of next generation techniques for increasing the hard disk drive (HDD) capacity up to 10 Tbit/in2 in order to meet the growing ...
