Apples growing in New Zealand, Argentina, Mexico, Michigan and
Washington were used to provide the compositional data and to
develop the analytical procedures for the use in verification of
authenticity of apple juices.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) techniques were
applied for glucose, fructose, sucrose, sorbitol, malic, citric,
quinic, shikimic,...
The focus of this study is to develop a general and low-cost solution-based
process to fabricate micro- and nano-structured semiconductors that are suitable
for electronics. This process uses simple metal halide precursors dissolved in a
solvent (organic or aqueous) and is capable of forming uniform and continuous
thin films via...
The ubiquity of high quality video and proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to an unprecedented rise in video consumption. HTTP, in conjunction with adaptive streaming, has become the de facto mechanism for delivering the vast majority of video as it readily caters to heterogeneous networks and devices. This dissertation...
Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...
Interactions between paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) and
components of the butter clam (Saxidomus giganteus) were studied to
determine which component was involved in the binding and retention
of PSP by the butter clam, and to characterize the nature and
strength of the interaction. A simple and accurate assay for PSP...
A new era for partnerships between the US land grant university community and the US Agency for International Development began when Title XII legislation was enacted by the US Congress in 1975. Collaborative Research Support Programs emerged as an institutional innovation for the Agency and participating universities. This study uses...
