Geology of the southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, northern Pakistan

Creator:: Hylland, Michael D.
Abstract:: The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable Proterozoic...

Development of organocatalyzed, intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition and application towards alkaloid synthesis

Creator:: Carlson, Erik
Abstract:: Effective methods for the enantiopure formation of substituted piperidine rings are significantly important due to their presence in alkaloid products. A valuable method to form these ring systems would be via an intramolecular heteroatom Michael addition from the corresponding enone or enal. Described herein is a methodolgy that has been...

Breaking waves : a review of theory and measurements

Creator:: Gaughan, Michael Kenneth
Abstract:: Theoretical breaking criteria for progressive surface gravity waves are examined, and laboratory and field experiments concerned with breaking waves are reviewed with respect to the testing of these breaking criteria. The measurements of Komar and Simmons are presented here for the first time. Only three theoretical breaking criteria have been...

3-D finite element modeling in OpenSees for bridge live-load girder distribution factors

Creator:: Scoggins, Luke A.
Abstract:: A generalized, three-dimensional, finite element bridge model was created in order to efficiently and accurately assess live-load girder distribution factors for a variety of bridge types. This model shortens the time required by bridge analysts to develop individual finite element models for bridges of varying geometries. The creation of the...

The Clerk’s Tale : literal monstrosities and allegorical problems

Creator:: Brock, Christopher J.
Abstract:: My thesis, entitled “The Clerk’s Tale: Literal Monstrosities and Allegorical Problems,” argues that Chaucer’s Clerk is engaging both sides of a binary system. The Clerk has situated himself in a precarious position between two major schools of thought in the medieval culture, Franciscan and Dominican; the former promotes the will...

Using advanced spreadsheet features for agricultural GIS applications

Creator:: Halbleib, Michael D.
Abstract:: A GIS analysis procedure was developed to explore relationships between imagery, yield data, soil information, and other assessments of a field or orchard. A set of conversion utilities, a spreadsheet, and an inexpensive shape file viewer were used to manipulate, plot, and display data. Specific features described include procedures used...

Dynamic pollution regulation with endogenous technological change

Creator:: Jaspin, Michael D
Abstract:: This thesis investigates the dynamic efficiency of emission standards and Pigouvian taxes in the regulation of pollution where research and development (R&D) and the technology level are endogenous. A key element of the analysis is a comparison of the efficiency between instances in which the regulator can and cannot commnit...

A numerical study of viscous, incompressible fluid flow problems

Creator:: Terry, Michael D.
Abstract:: The mathematical technique of overrelaxation is used here to speed the convergence of a numerical method for solving viscous, incompressible fluid flow problems. The method, called MAC, involves approximating the complete two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with analogous finite-difference equations. The MAC method was developed by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory...

Biomass and nutrient dynamics associated with deforestation, biomass burning and conversion to pasture in a tropical dry forest in Mexico

Creator:: Steele, Michael D.
Abstract:: The effects of deforestation and biomass burning in tropical dry forests (TDF) remain a little studied phenomenon. We quantified total aboveground biomass (TAGB), carbon and nutrient (N,S,Ca,P,K) loss under two separate fire severity scenarios; one early when the fuels were higher in moisture content, one later when the slash fuels...

Spatial consumption and risk of lower back disorder during assisted toilet transfers on board an aircraft

Creator:: Philbrick, Kenneth Alan
Abstract:: A major barrier to air travel for people with disabilities is the general lack of accessible lavatories on board commercial passenger aircraft. A primary reason for this lack of greater accessibility is related to space. To design an airplane lavatory that is accessible, minimizes the risk of injury to both...
