The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...
Culture, thought worldview and language have been
discussed for a long time in different fields from various
perspectives. However, the basis of this study is the view
of language as both the product and producer of people just
as people are the producer and product of language. Each
language requires...
This thesis describes in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of a transdermal atenolol formulation developed at Oregon State University, College of Pharmacy. The formulation was prepared from carbomer as a gel base with propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, polysorbate 80 and dimethyl-isosorbide (DMI) as mixture of penetration enhancing agents. The effect of the...
The existence of the ethnic "barrios" (ghettos) across American society is proof of the legacy of racism, injustice and inequality in society today. In this thesis, the human experiences of Native, African, Mexican, and Asian people, are presented to contradict the notion that the "American Dream" is for all. In...
This plant association guide has been developed as an aid for Forest Service resource managers to identify long term stable plant associations found on the Crooked River National Grassland. The guide describes in detail good, fair, and poor range condition on lands seeded to either crested wheatgrass or beardless wheatgrass...
Hyperspectral images consist of intensity measurements associated with a large number of EM wavelengths per pixel. When a pixel contains a single material, the measurements of the pixel match the spectral signature of the material. When multiple materials are present in a single pixel, spectral mixing occurs, and signatures of...
The DNAs (deoxyribonucleic acids)
of the thoracic tissue
of
the tobacco hornworm,
Manducta sexta, were studied
by physical
and chemical means. The adult
moth was considered to
be fully
formed two days after emergence from
the pupal case, as indicated
by its ability to fly and the integrity
of the...
