Robotic Actuation and Control with Programmable, Field-Activated Material Systems

Creator:: Bira, Nicholas P.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents novel, field-activated smart material systems for the actuation and control of autonomous robots. Smart materials, a type of material whose properties can be changed with an external stimuli, represent a promising direction to expand upon existing robotic control and actuation methods, particularly in the sub-fields of soft...

Effect of certain blood enzymes and cellular constituents on growth in different genetic groups of sheep

Creator:: Hutto, Daniel C.
Abstract:: In the present study, five breeds of ewes and their lambs were utilized. The breeds used were: Border Cheviot, Dorset Horn, Columbia, Suffolk and Willamette. In all, 31 ewes and 42 lambs were involved. The blood constituents which were determined for the ewes and lambs were: acid and alkaline phosphatase,...

The comparative role of molecular and nitrate-oxygen in the dissimilation of glucose

Creator:: Bhatt, Rajanikant Premshanker
Abstract:: When nitrate is used in a biological electron transport system as the final acceptor of hydrogen to form water, the system is characterized as "Nitrate Respiration." However, the quantitative expression of the over-all participation of NO₃⁻(0) in the oxidation of glucose by denitrifiers such as Pseudomonas stutzeri deserves clarification. In...

Comparison of underemployed and not underemployed women in two-parent two-child families : an eleven-state rural-urban study

Creator:: Masuo, Diane M., 1947-
Abstract:: This study compared wives defined as underemployed by educational mismatch with not underemployed wives on four major predictor variables-- relative market work advantage; degree of competition in the female labor market; time demands from family members; and assistance with childcare and other housework. The data were from NE 113, An...

Aboveground biomass and ecosystem carbon pools in tropical secondary forests growing in six life zones of Costa Rica

Creator:: Cifuentes Jara, Miguel
Abstract:: Carbon sequestration in tropical secondary forests growing in all climates must be quantified to understand their potential role in adaptation and mitigation strategies of global climate change. Total aboveground biomass (TAGB), soil carbon, and total ecosystem carbon (TEC) were measured in 54 secondary forests growing along a broad bioclimatic gradient...

A study of perceptual correlates to role-taking ability with fourth through sixth grade children

Creator:: Perkins, Charlotte Jeanne
Abstract:: This study was designed for the purpose of expanding knowledge of the correlates of role-taking as measured by Feffer's Role-Taking Task. The variables of perception, sex, age, reading achievement, and ordinal position were investigated. The perceptual variables measured were visual memory, field dependence/independence, auditory memory, and organizing and synthesizing ability....

Limitations to Seedling Regeneration on Tropical Forest Restoration Plantations in Northern Thailand

Creator:: Sangsupan, Hathai A.
Abstract:: This dissertation investigated potential ecological limitations to seedling regeneration in young, seasonally dry, evergreen forest restoration plantations in northern Thailand. We explored whether recruitment of colonizing tree species in the restoration plantations can be attributed to seed dispersal mode (i.e. abiotic or animal dispersal) and seed size. We did this...

Predictors of commitment to a dual-work lifestyle in pre-dual-work couples

Creator:: Conger, John D.
Abstract:: The purpose of the present study was to identify variables which are related to the degree of commitment to a dual-work lifestyle held by engaged individuals who indicated their intentions for such workfamily patterns after marriage. The study also grouped couples according to patterns of commitment, and examined differences by...

Economic modeling of tropical deforestation in Antioquia (Colombia), 1980-2000 : an analysis at a semi-fine scale with spatially explicit data

Creator:: Orrego, Sergio A.
Abstract:: This dissertation used land rent theory and an economic model of land-use conversion to examine the main drivers of the deforestation occurred in Antioquia,Colombia, between 1980 and 2000. Land-cover information at a semi-fine scale (1:25,000) obtained largely from aerial photography was employed to calculate deforestation. In addition, free international databases...
