Creator:: Almarshad, Abdullah I. A.
Abstract:: A model has been developed to predict the long-term oxidation rate of Zircaloy-4 for ex-reactor (autoclave) and in-reactor (PWR) environments and operating conditions. A computer program has been written to solve the oxygen diffusion equation by employing a fully implicit finite difference method for a one dimensional cylindrical geometry. The...

Creator:: Demers, Nora Egan
Abstract:: This thesis tests the hypothesis that innate immunity may be enhanced immediately following a stressful event. The experiments characterize the acute effects of the fight or flight response on some immunological and endocrine parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Plasma cortisol and catecholamines were elevated within seconds of the initiation...

Creator:: Rasca-Hidalgo, Leo
Abstract:: Low completion rates have created serious "leakage points" (Astin, 1988) and "severe hemorrhaging" (Lango, 1996) in higher education to a large number of Hispanics. Traditional research on college persistence, which has blamed the students' culture for low performance, is inaccurate. Little research has specifically investigated academic persistence from a cultural...

Creator:: Yao, Qiang
Abstract:: Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...

Creator:: Nam, Ilgi
Abstract:: A technique is developed and tested to analyze the interaction of flowing water, bed topography, and bedload sediment transport in meandering channels where gravel bars are removed. The method relates the local velocity distribution, bed shear stress and sediment transport conditions to the local bed configuration in river bends before...

Creator:: Shirazi, Mehra A.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe Iranian immigrant women's knowledge, beliefs and attitudes towards breast cancer, and their breast cancer screening behaviors. Specifically, this research examined the predictors of age-specific breast cancer screening participation among this population. The participants in this study consisted (n=34 1) of self-identified first...
