Characteristics of Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul (Acari: phytoseiidae) as a biological control agent of Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) (Acari: tetranychidae)

Creator:: Horton, Rene N.
Abstract:: The life history, temperature, humidity, and feeding requirements of the phytoseiid predator mite, Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul were tested in the laboratory. Occurance of the mite in the field during different times of the year was investigated as well. Effects of temperature and humidity on egg hatch, the feeding...

Hardware design and protection issues in an AC/AC converter

Creator:: Faveluke, Alex
Abstract:: An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in the field. All hardware needed to start and run...

A low cost AC motor drive for battery powered applications

Creator:: Wiley, Brian
Abstract:: Environmental concerns have renewed the interest in electric vehicles. To gain widespread use, electric vehicles will also have to offer good performance and be reasonably priced. AC drive systems using modern semiconductors can provide efficient operation at the required power levels, but their cost at present is still too high....

Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) ; toxicological database, resistance monitoring techniques, and intraplant distribution

Creator:: Fongsmut, Anuthep
Abstract:: The diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.) is a major pest of crucifer crops worldwide. It is a particularly important problem in Southeast Asia where climatic conditions favor a short generation time and rapid proliferation. In countries such as Thailand, the diamondback moth has apparently become resistant to all classes of...

The Role of Iron: How Natural and Human-Induced Iron Fertilization Could Change Ocean Productivity

Creator:: Adroli, Nurmalia
Abstract:: Iron (Fe) is an important limiting nutrient that can affect the rate of ocean primary production because it is required by phytoplankton as an enzymatic cofactor in photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and other essential metabolic functions. Most Fe reaches the surface of the open ocean via atmospheric dust deposition, which is...

Cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases in the mosquito, Culex pipiens

Creator:: Baldridge, Gerald D.
Abstract:: A sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation technique for obtaining microsomes has been developed. This technique has advantages over the classic differential centrifugation technique, in that it is faster, is better suited to work with small quantities of tissue, and offers the opportunity to work with a defined microsomal sub-cellular fraction, rather than...

"Land of War and Blood" : spectacular violence, conflicting medievalisms, and chivalric legacies in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones

Creator:: Horton, Kaely
Abstract:: This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...

Finite element based rotor design optimization for the brushless doubly-fed machine

Creator:: Salim, Mohamed Ali, 1968-
Abstract:: Brushless Doubly-Fed Machines have potential benefits in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications by combining a robust machine structure with a reduced power converter rating. While recent work has demonstrated feasibility, steady-state performance has not been optimized. The nature of doubly-fed operation causes rotor currents of varying, relatively...

System optimization studies related to stator design and AC/AC converter selection for brushless doubly-fed machines

Creator:: Bhowmik, Shibashis
Abstract:: The advent of superior power semiconductor devices and converter topologies has renewed interest in ac drive systems. Although considerable research efforts have gone into improving power electronic converter devices and topologies, very little has been reported on the overall performance optimization of induction machine drive systems. The report of the...

Activity of the corpora allata of adult female Leucophaea maderae

Creator:: Acle, Dadie
Abstract:: In the cockroach Leucophaea maderae, a centre in the brain controls the female's acceptance of courting males. This centre is affected by starvation. A brief exposure to food can induce mating but is inadequate for oocyte development. In fed L. maderae there appears to be a synergistic action of nutrition...
