MAASS SPACE FOR LIFTING TO GL(2,B) OVER A DIVISION QUATERNION ALGEBRA
(2019-08-01)
Muto, Narita and Pitale construct counterexamples to the Generalized Ramanujan Conjecture for GL(2,B) over the division quaternion algebra B with discriminant two via a lift from SL(2). In this dissertation, I characterize ...
EXPERIMENTAL AND MODELING STUDIES ON AXIAL OSCILLATION-SUPPORTED DRILLSTRINGS
(2019-05-10)
Extending the reach of high-angle and extended-reach wells through slide drilling operations are hindered by high downhole friction (static and dynamic), which emanates to inefficiencies, such as poor weight transfer from ...
Laboratory Characterization of Reservoir Stimulation and Heat Extraction with Application to EGS
(2019-12)
Enhanced or engineered geothermal systems (EGS) could enable extraction of significant geothermal energy from hot relatively dry rock reservoirs. However, issues related to reservoir creation in different type of rocks and ...
Long Term Evolution – License Assisted Access (LTE-LAA): Modeling and Coexistence Performance Analysis
(2019)
Wireless communication built upon radio spectrum plays an instrumental role in today's modern world. With the explosive growth of mobile data traffic, mobile cellular networks need more spectrum to boost their system ...
ALTERATIONS OF C-MIRNA EXPRESSION FROM WHOLE-BODY VIBRATION AND RESISTANCE EXERCISE IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
(2019-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Previous research has examined the effects of exercise on circulating miRNA (c-miRNA) expression. C-miRNAs have been associated with exercise-induced adaptations for skeletal muscle hypertrophy and aerobic ...
The Caseinolytic Protease P System in Clostridium difficile
(2019-05-10)
Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, toxin producing pathogen that has rapidly gained resistance to several broad-spectrum antibiotics. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired ...
DNA Barcoding Identification and Chemical Investigation of Fungi
(2019-05-10)
Fungi represent a diverse resource in the discovery of new secondary metabolites which have been successfully developed as drugs such as antibiotics, immunosuppressant and stains. However, there are still problems which ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Porous Hydroxyapatite Ceramics for Batch and Column Treatment of Fluoride-Impacted Ground Water
(2019-05-10)
Nearly 200 million people worldwide are exposed to drinking water with elevated levels of naturally occurring fluoride. The World Health Organization recommends a maximum fluoride concentration of 1.5 mg/L in drinking water ...
Characterization and bioinformatic analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa condensins
(2019-12)
DNA is organized within chromosomes not only to permit a large amount of DNA to occupy a very small space, but also to serve essential functional roles. Varied levels of organization enable proper DNA replication, repair, ...
EXAMINING THE EFFECTS OF SUPPORT FOR TEACHERS’ BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS ON TEACHERS’ INTENT TO LEAVE
(2019-05)
Many schools are facing serious teaching shortages and high teacher turnover, a problem amplified in schools with difficult challenges, and especially in certain subject areas. Teacher turnover coupled with a lack of ...
