Over the years, chemical bath deposition (CBD) is being widely used in the
fabrication of Cu (In, Ga) Se₂ and CdTe based solar cells and photovoltaics. Many
chalcogenides have been successfully deposited by this technique and it has
received a great deal of attention owing to its low temperature and...
In recent years, the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway to isoprenoids
has been the subject of intensive research. The interest is because isoprenoids have
important roles in many cellular processes essential for the survival of several
pathogenic organisms, making the inhibition of this pathway an attractive target for
the drug...
Excavations conducted at Indian Sands (35-CU-67C), located along Oregon's
southern coast, during 2002 and 2003 identified two discreet, artifact-bearing stratigraphic
units. The uppermost unit is a deflated surface containing burnt shell and lithic artifacts
associated with early Holocene ¹⁴C dates, while the underlying unit contained only lithic tools
and debitage,...
Strong tidal currents experienced at Keystone Harbor, WA, have caused
navigational hazards and disrupted ferry service in the area. This thesis presents
details of the design, construction and implementation of a large scale physical model
of Keystone Harbor used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed jetty design
alternatives to improve...
