Creator:: Kuo, Mei
Abstract:: Gene transfer via interspecific hybridization within Phaseolus has been limited by abnormal hybrid development and the rapid loss of hybridity in subsequent generations. The most advanced embryo development occurs in P. vulgaris x P. coccineus where mature seeds form. However, the reciprocal cross still results in abnormal embryos unable to...

Creator:: Pratt, Paul D.
Abstract:: We identified and evaluated a phytoseiid predator as a biological control agent of multiple spider mites pests that occur in ornamental nurseries. When comparing species, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) had a wider prey range than Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), a higher probability of overwintering than Neoseiulus califomicus McGregor and was equally or...

Creator:: Bodvarsson, Gudrun M.
Abstract:: The present work is a study of three degenerate, linear parabolic systems of equations, each of which represents a version of the so-called double porosity model for underground fluid flows in natural fractured rock. These systems of equations together with initial and boundary conditions describe single-phase flows in fluids, slightly...

Creator:: Liang, Guojin
Abstract:: In this dissertation, two important current mode circuit design subjects have been explored. In the first part, the switched-current circuit technique has been investigated. The fundamental performance and limitations of this technique are explored. One of the major limitations, the signal distortion caused by clock feedthrough has been substantially reduced...

Creator:: Thompson, Jon Ira
Abstract:: Lorentz forces provide a unique method for the control and mixing of gas flows without the physical intrusion of objects into the flow. Lorentz forces arise when an electric current is passed through a volume in the presence of a magnetic field. The interaction between the electric current and the...

Creator:: Lim, Sungkyoo
Abstract:: In this thesis the concept of inhomogeneous dielectrics is demonstrated for various optical coating applications. Compositionally-varying silicon oxynitride (SiON) dielectric layers, with the refractive index varying as a function of position, are grown by computer-controlled plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using silane, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide reactant gases. Compositionally graded...

Creator:: Evans, Anantaporn Disatapundhu
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to: (a) develop a comprehensive plan consisting of a series of logical steps based upon recommendations derived from psychometric, measurement, and research literature and utilize the plan to develop a Likert-type scale to provide valid and reliable measures of the attitude of preservice and...

Creator:: Lee, Young-ki
Abstract:: This study consists of three parts: 1) Part A: Limiting Height Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, 2) Part B: Mid-Span Deflection Evaluation for Composite Wall Tests, and 3) Part C: Nominal Axial Strength Evaluation for Wall-Braced Wall Stud Columns. The purpose of Part A is to develop experimentally-based limiting heights...
