  • Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance of a synthetic hexaploid wheat (Triticum turgidum L. x Aegilops tauschii Coss.)

    Creator:
    Rosa, Andre Cunha
    Abstract:
    Pre-harvest sprouting in wheat costs farmers millions of dollars every year. Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PST) has minimized this problem, but improvement of PST is still necessary. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (synthetics) have been used as sources of genes coding for many useful traits. Two studies evaluated the PST of a synthetic...

  • Determination of structural layer properties of aggregate and asphalt surfaced roads

    Creator:
    Rwebangira, T.
    Abstract:
    This study involved the determination of the structural layer properties of aggregate and asphalt surfaced pavements for use in the evaluation of pavement load carrying capacity and the seasonal effects of moisture. This was achieved by the use of Nondestructive Testing Methods (NDT) and backcalculation techniques. Pavement surface deflection measurements...

  • Development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure for flexible pavements

    Creator:
    Zhou, Haiping
    Abstract:
    This dissertation describes the development of a mechanistic overlay design procedure. The mechanistic analysis represents a new trend in both new pavement and overlay design. The greatest advantage of the mechanistic pavement analysis is that it considers the fundamental characteristics of materials to be used, is capable of considering changes...

  • New acetaminophen products : formulation development and bioavailability

    Creator:
    Mansell, Libbie J.
    Abstract:
    Development of a novel, useful, orally administered dosage form providing controlled, sustained release of an active ingredient was desired. Film layers of Aquacoat and Eudragit L-30D (commercially available coating materials) were applied to acetaminophen cores. Amount of coating material, number of polymer layers, and order of application were varied. In...
