Mechanical characterization of a simple gel in a prototype device that models a degenerative intervertebral disc

Creator:: Cenar, Yannick
Abstract:: A large part of low-back pain occurrences are due to disc herniation or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus. An alternative technique to existing treatments of low back pain includes nucleus pulposus replacement by an artificial material to relieve pain and restore normal function. To date, there has been a deficiency...

Characterization of the near-field flow structure of an acoustically self-excited jet in a large enclosure using particle image velocimetry (PIV)

Creator:: Tobias, Jason A.
Abstract:: An experimental study of the near-field flow structure produced by an incompressible turbulent Acoustically Self-Excited Jet (ASEJ) in a large enclosure using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is presented. The salient feature of this jet is that it provides an increase in near-field mixing and turbulence without additional external power input....

Transport of chloride ions during accelerated cathodic protection of reinforced concrete structures

Creator:: Rehani, Manu
Abstract:: Chloride ion migration was studied under accelerated cathodic protection conditions using 6" x 6" x 6" mortar blocks of varying initial chloride content and water to cement ratios. An iron mesh embedded parallel to one face in the blocks acted as the cathode and zinc was thermally sprayed on the...

Physicochemical properties of Alaska pollock surimi as affected by salinity and freeze-thaw cycles

Creator:: Kang, Ey Jung
Abstract:: The effects of the residual salt of surimi on biochemical and physical properties as affected by various freeze and thaw cycles were examined. Fresh Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) surimi was mixed with 4.0% sugar, and 5.0% sorbitol, along with eight combinations of salt (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 % NaCl)...

Numerical assessment of steel plate shear wall with coupling (SPSW-WC) system design procedure

Creator:: Li, Wennan
Abstract:: The Steel Plate Shear Wall (SPSW) system, is an innovative seismic lateral force resistant system, which has experienced increased use over the last three decades. The SPSW system is composed of boundary elements which anchor web plates that develop diagonal tension fields. A number of SPSW buildings have been built...

Effects of value self-confrontation on values and academic performance of undergraduates

Creator:: Seyfarth, Leonard H.
Abstract:: This study investigated the following question: If one wants to be a good student and then compares his/her own values with those of good students, will he/she shift values immediately to resemble those of good students, and later improve academic performance? The investigator drew a sample of 237 volunteers of...

Puberty development and reproductive performance in beef heifers fed rations supplemented with Oregon by-product feeds

Creator:: Oswald, Keely E.
Abstract:: In the majority of management scenarios, it is imperative that beef replacement heifers calve at two years of age. In order to achieve this goal, yearling heifers should reach 60 to 65% of their mature body weight by 13 months of age. Feed costs represent 75 to 80% of the...

The phytosanitation of solid wood packaging materials using wood preservatives

Creator:: Schauwecker, Christoph F.
Abstract:: New species introductions have been associated with the movement of people for thousands of years. For instance, horses were introduced into North America by Spanish explorers, while pigs were introduced by the Polynesians into many Pacific islands long before the establishment of permanent European settlements. Both of these species introductions...

Experimental Evolution of Roundup Resistance in Outcrossing Populations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Hanson, Chloe C.
Abstract:: Evolve & Resequence (E&R) experiments subject laboratory populations to environments controlled by investigators, who then document the phenotypic and genomic changes that take place over many generations. These experiments provide powerful tools for testing of a wide variety of evolutionary questions, especially questions about the nature of adaptive traits. While...

Development of Ductile System Design Procedures for Steel Slit Panel Frames (SSPF)

Creator:: Fayyadh, Wasan Q.
Abstract:: This dissertation studies the development of the design procedures for Steel Slit Panel Frame (SSPF). The (SSPF) system is a seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) with ductile behavior and good energy dissipation up to 5\% to 7\% lateral drift that acting as seismic fuses. The current design guidelines provided valuable information...
