Elucidating the catalytic mechanism of malic enzyme via site-directed mutagenesis studies.
(2001)
Based on homology search results and the three-dimensional structures of malic enzymes, 12 highly conserved ionizable residues were selected as potential general acid/base in the malic enzyme reaction. Site-directed ...
Magneto-optical properties of indium antimide based quantum wells.
(2001)
We observe electron spin resonance using FIR laser spectroscopy in symmetric and asymmetric InSb quantum wells over a wide range of magnetic field and the Landau level index. The behavior of the asymmetric wells at low ...
Improving decision quality in the analytic hierarchy process implementation through knowledge management strategies.
(2001)
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-attribute decision making method that structures a decision problem hierarchically in terms of its objective, attributes, sub-attributes, and alternatives.
Active vibration control systems in the frequency and sub-band domain.
(2001)
Active noise and vibration control has been the subject of intense study in the last two decades due to the increased speed in digital signal processors and the technological development and manufacture of smart materials. ...
Development and analysis of an expressed sequence tag database from Fusarium sporotrichioides.
(2001)
The comparison of four other fungal cDNA libraries sequenced in our lab, F. sporotrichioides library, two Neurospora crassa libraries and one Aspergillus nidulans library, shows that the percentage of biological function ...
Understanding public school teachers' accounts of conflicts: An ethnographically based, ethnomethodological investigation.
(2001)
The data for this project are narrative descriptions or accounts of conflict episodes written by public school teachers. Two categories of research within the Language and Social Interaction tradition---the ethnography of ...
Leisure piano lessons: A case study of lifelong learning.
(2001)
The importance of the social and emotional benefits of leisure piano study, whether in a private or group setting, should not be underplayed. While all of the participants in this study experienced age-related difficulties ...
Viscoelastic measurements of fracturing fluids for proppant transport application.
(2001)
One of the primary functions of a fracturing fluid is to transport and distribute proppant through a fracture and to keep the particles suspended till reservoir closes on the fracture. The proppant when suspended and ...
The "Five Advertising Songs" and the "Gravestones at Hancock, N.H.": A study of two song cycles composed by Nicolas Slonimsky.
(2001)
Slonimsky was also a composer. His works are not widely known, but he wrote songs, piano pieces, and orchestral works. Two song cycles, The Five Advertising Songs, and The Gravestones at Hancock, N. H., are probably among ...
Semi-active structural control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics: Design, stability analysis, and experimental verification.
(2001)
The dissertation presents the development and experimental validation of control laws that provide stable closed-loop behavior and good performance for semi-active control systems with nonlinear actuator dynamics. In ...
