Abstract:: Impedance spectroscopy is a method of modeling materials with equivalent circuits to determine electrical properties, such as the resistivity and the dielectric constant. We explore impedance spectroscopy, both theoretically and experimentally through applying the method to samples of BaCuS1-xSexF. Grain boundary effects were dominant in the results, and although they...

Creator:: Korn, Abraham
Abstract:: We consider development of sand ripples in shallow water flows which do not reach an equilibrium height but have a time-varying ripple height that slowly reaches a maximum value and then is quickly destroyed by the fluid. A simple scenario to explain the time periodic behavior of the sand ripples...

Creator:: Kriss, Aaron A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to develop and test a radiation detector to perform beta dosimetry and spectroscopy. The detector utilizes plastic scintillator volumes to produce scintillation light in proportion to the amount of energy deposited in them, and a large-area avalanche photodiode to convert the light to electrical...

Abstract:: 1,1,1-Tricholorethane (1,1,1-TCA), a widely used industrial solvents, is one of the most common subsurface contaminants. Transformation processes in the subsurface can result in the production of 1,1-dichioroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,1- dichioroethene (l,1-DCE) from 1,1,1-TCA contamination, resulting in plumes of mixed chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). A butane-utilizing microorganism, strain 1 83BP,...

Creator:: Le, Hang Thi
Abstract:: A nifedipine sustained release dosage form was prepared by using hot-melt batch coating. Substrates are sugar beads, mesh size 30-35. Stearic acid, Acid Triglyceride, and carnauba wax were coating agents used to make single layer coated beads and multiple layer coated beads containing nifedipine. Dissolution of nifedipine from the beads...

Abstract:: Mobile and telecommunication industry has experienced tremendous growth in the recent past. Miniaturization and increased functionality have become necessary for all passive components in the system. Bandpass filters are critical passive components in any communication system and the existing designs in the crucial 1-10 GHz bandwidth suffer many drawbacks. For...

Creator:: Fitzgerald, Scott J.
Abstract:: The family Bibionidae has a worldwide distribution and includes approximately 700 species in eight extant genera. Recent studies have not produced compelling evidence supporting Bibionidae as a monophyletic group or identified the sister group to bibionids. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the classification and evolution of...
