, attributed to absorption by amorphous H2O ice, and 9.7 µm feature, attributed to absorption by amorphous silicates, appear concurrently in all sources with molecular clouds intervening along the line of sight, indicative of both ice and silicates as important...

The main aim of the current thesis is to investigate the mathematical tools and methods used to study problems which bridge between analysis and geometry. Such an undertaking is particularly useful in situations in which ...

"The purpose of this investigation was to determine the factors favoring or opposing the injuries following the transplanting of vegetables. The factors dealt with in this study were as follows: (a) The relation of moisture ...

(8-9 months old), in addition to a 4 month-old cohort of both transgenic and wild-type female mice. Performance was assessed using three behavioral measures: touch escape, the Barnes maze, and an open-field test. No differences in irritability were...

. The specific discharge capacity retention of LR1 at 1C between 2 and 4.8 V was more than 100% after 100 cycles. Further improvements to LR1 cathode materials have led to an increase in the initial discharge capacity to 248 mAh/g at 0.1C. This is achieved...

control methods that comprise modified PI control, LQG control, H [mobius] control, and nonlinear feedback control are used to make a closed-loop poppet system. The nonlinear controller is only applied to the nonlinear system and certified by Lyapunov...

Alvin Plantinga argues that naturalism it is irrational for a reflective person to hold to the doctrine of naturalism. If naturalism is true, some evolutionary doctrine must also be true and our evolutionary history must ...

The sulfate-reducing bacteria are a morphologically diverse group of organisms characterized by the ability to couple the enzymatic reduction of sulfate to energy production and growth. This metabolic activity has profound ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Changes in species composition and forest structure were studied over a 36-year period in the Baskett Research and Education Area (BREA) in central ...

This is a study of the clothing and textile research base using author cocitation analysis. The study uses a custom database from a 15 year period, containing all citations in the field's leading journal: the Clothing and ...

Over cosmic time, galaxy mass assembly has transitioned from low-mass, starforming disk galaxies to massive, quiescent elliptical galaxies. The merger hypothesis for the formation of new elliptical galaxies provides one ...

Pentablock (PB) copolymers have been successfully synthesized for long term delivery in the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. PB copolymers are comprised of FDA approved biodegradable polymer such as ...

Protection of bridges from blast load due to terrorist attacks or accidental explosions is necessary. For this we require to study the performance of a bridge when blast loads are applied above the deck slab. The ...

The goal of this work is to treat the main boundary value problems for the Stokes system, i.e., (i) the Dirichlet problem with Lp-data and nontangential maximal function estimates, (ii) the Neumann problem with Lp-data and ...

The Topeka shiner (Notropis topeka) is a federally-listed endangered cyprinid species native to small headwater prairie streams in the mid-west of the United States. It generally spawns over and around sunfish (Lepomis ...

We studied diffuse optical reflectance in two anisotropic biological tissues: high moisture soy extrudates and skeletal muscles. High moisture extrusion of soy proteins can produce healthy alternative protein sources that ...
