Development of a test procedure for water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures

Creator:: Al-Swailmi, Saleh H.
Abstract:: Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested in...

Balanced codes

Creator:: Al-Bassam, Sulaiman
Abstract:: Balanced codes, in which each codeword contains equally many 1's and 0's, are useful in such applications as in optical transmission and optical recording. When balanced codes are used, the same number of 1's and 0's pass through the channel after the transmission of every word, so the channel is...

Model Predictive Control for Optimum Algal Growth

Creator:: Juneja, Ankita
Abstract:: Microalgae has been under careful consideration as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuel recently due to its year round production with high energy yields per unit area, reduced need for arable land, water treatment benefits with nutrient cycling, and minimal competition with the food industry. Despite of all these advantages,...

Adolescent Mental Health and Well-Being: Examining the Role of U.S. Public Education Policy and School Climate

Creator:: Hommel, Annie
Abstract:: This dissertation seeks to contribute to a growing body of research on student outcomes by way of a public health perspective examining the intersection of education policy and adolescent mental health and well-being. The conceptual approach underpinning this project rests on the key theoretical assumption that education policy, shaped at...

New development of beta-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and its structural, physicochemical, and biological properties, New development of β-chitosan from jumbo squid pens (Dosidicus gigas) and its structural, physicochemical, and biological properties

Creator:: Jung, Jooyeoun
Abstract:: β-chitin/chitosan extracted from newly utilized jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens were investigated in respect to their physicochemical properties, polymeric structures, deacetylation and depolymerization characteristics, and antioxidant and antibacterial activities. These functional properties were further compared with α-chitin/chitosan prepared from shrimp shells. Due to the low mineral content (< 1%) and...

Forest Fire Effects on Radiative and Turbulent Fluxes over Snow : Implications for Snow Hydrology

Creator:: Gleason, Kelly E.
Abstract:: As a result of a warming climate, subsequent declining snowpack, and a century of fire suppression, forest fires are increasing across the western United States. However, we still do not fully understand how forest fire effects snowpack energy balance, nor the volume and availability of snow melt and associated water...

Development of predictive mapping techniques for soil survey and salinity mapping

Creator:: Elnaggar, Abdelhamid A.
Abstract:: Conventional soil maps represent a valuable source of information about soil characteristics, however they are subjective, very expensive, and time-consuming to prepare. Also, they do not include explicit information about the conceptual mental model used in developing them nor information about their accuracy, in addition to the error associated with...

A comparison of two methods of divergent mass selection for heading date in two winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell) crosses

Creator:: Frederickson, Leslie John
Abstract:: Responses to two cycles of mass selection for heading date, followed by selfing or intermating, were studied in two diverse winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) crosses. Selection was bidirectional, resulting in early and late populations for each mating system, cycle, and cross. The influence of mass selection for...

Certain aspects of electron and coupled energy transfer in cardiac muscle

Creator:: Kettman, John Rutherford
Abstract:: The first area of investigation involves the electron transport of sub-mitochondrial particles and their components. The second area is the synthesis of ATP and other energy linked reactions and components of the energy conservation and transfer apparatus. Investigations on the nature of the tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) shunt indicated that tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ)...

Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:: Hadley, Adam S.
Abstract:: A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...
