Nanolaminate dielectrics combine two or more insulating materials in a many-layered film. These structures can be made to significantly outperform films composed of a single one of their constituent materials by adjusting the composition ratio, arrangement, and size of the component layers. In this work, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is...
Large numbers of reinforced concrete deck girder bridges that were constructed during the
interstate system expansion of the 1950s have developed diagonal cracking in the stems.
Compared to the present AASHTO-LRFD standards, the provisions of the 1950s allowed
for higher shear stress in the concrete, thus reducing the amount of...

Measurements on growth traits up to 41 years of age
from 68 progeny sites in eight first-generation breeding
zones of coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii
[MIRB.] FRANCO var. menziesii) in the US Pacific Northwest
were used to investigate age trends of genetic parameters
and to determine optimum age of selection. Heritabilities...
This dissertation considers two approaches for testing hypotheses in
unbalanced mixed linear models. The first approach is to construct a design with
some type of structure or "partial" balance, so that some of the optimal properties of
a completely balanced design hold. It is shown that for a particular type...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether an increase in daily tooth brushing frequency in children was predicted by either a) having a strong intention to brush twice a day or b) their parents receiving information about their new caries experience.
BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN: Secondary data analyses were conducted on two waves of...
