DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF ROVER WHEEL TESTBED
(2009)
Wheel performance has been one of the limiting factors in interplanetary rover mis-
The Choice for Public School: An Investigation into the Failure of Low-Income African-American Parents to Utilize School Vouchers in the Cleveland School District
(2009)
Cleveland, Ohio has one of the longest running voucher programs in the United States. The program began in 1995 by offering tuition scholarships and tuition assistance to students for $2,250. The program was implemented ...
FORMATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF TRIGLYCERIDE MICROEMULSIONS USING EXTENDED SURFACTANTS
(2009)
Triglycerides are among the most challenging oils to microemulsify due to their unique structure of a bulky polar ester head and three long hydrocarbon chains. Among the published work on triglyceride microemulsions, the ...
Mechanisms of Serine Acetyltransferase and O-Acetylserine Sulfhydrylase
(2009)
The de novo biosynthesis of L-cysteine in enteric bacteria and higher plants is a two-step pathway. The first step is catalyzed by serine acetyltransferase (SAT), which converts acetyl CoA and L-serine to O-acetyl-L-serine ...
Lithostratigraphy and Fossil Avifaunas of the Pleistocene Fossil Lake Formation, Fossil Lake, Oregon, and the Oligocene Etadunna Formation, Lake Palankarinna, South Australia
(2009)
Lacustrine sediments of the Pleistocene Fossil Lake Formation of Oregon, and the Oligocene Etadunna Formation of South Australia record packages of upwardly fining sequences that are fossiliferous, including fossil birds. ...
Spectrotemporal Dynamics of Neural Responses in Auditory Cortex During Frequency Discrimination
(2009)
Small differences in the frequencies of a sound provide a significant amount of information about the identity, position, and motion of the source. Humans' auditory frequency discrimination ability also allows us to ...
A STUDY OF COMPARATIVE INTERPRETATIONS BY STANLEY DRUCKER, ELSA LUDEWIG-VERDEHR, HAKAN ROSENGREN, AND JOHN BRUCE YEH OF THE CLARINET CONCERTO BY CARL NIELSEN
(2009)
Carl Nielsen's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra is a staple of twentieth-century clarinet literature that requires exceptional musicality and technical mastery to justifiably perform the work. This document aids in the ...
Acute and chronic effects of passive stretching on voluntary and evoked muscle force, the length-tension relationship, ankle joint range of motion, and musculotendinous stiffness in the plantar flexors
(2009)
The purposes of the present study were: (a) to examine the effects of prolonged passive stretching on the length-tension relationship under voluntary (maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force) and evoked (single and tetanic ...
High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Analysis of Nanostructures
(2009)
Nanostructures are of great interest because of the unique size range they occupy between the bulk and the quantum regimes. Characterizing nanostructures requires tools that can access this size regime. Transmission ...
Cosmology with a Dark Refraction Index
(2009)
In this dissertation we review Gordon's optical metric theory, generalize it, and apply it to modern cosmology.
