SH 714 (1, 2-alpha-methylene-6-chloro-delta-4, 6-17-alphahydroxyprogesterone
acetate) synthesized by Schering AG is an highly
antiandrogenic, nonestrogenic compound. The present investigation
was undertaken to determine the compound's effect upon the cell
associations of the germinal epithelium in the mature rat. From germinal epithelium for this dosage level of SH 714 was exhibited...
This dissertation presents two high-speed pipeline successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs). Capacitive DACs and resistive DACs are utilized in these two pipeline SAR ADCs, respectively.
The pipeline SAR ADC with capacitive DACs can save 50% switching power compared with other time-interleaved SAR ADCs since the total capacitance of the...
The tissue and substrate degradational enzymes, acid hydrolases,
in endosperm were studied in order to discern the mechanism of seed
shriveling in triticale (XTriticosecale Wittmack).
Acid hydrolases in crude extract of 7-week-old developing
endosperm of 2 lines each of triticale with shriveled (6TB,JZBS) and
plump seeds (6TA, RBP) were successfully...
In this research, the possibility of the precessional magnetization switching by focused surface acoustic waves, without external magnetic field, has been demonstrated. The technique of generating an effective magnetic field by applying stress to a magnetostrictive material via a surface acoustic wave is applied to perform field-free magnetization switching. It...
The purpose of this study was to investigate three research questions: (1) What are the attitudes and beliefs of the pre-service teachers and teacher educators regarding multicultural education, and how do the teacher educators prepare the pre-service teachers to meet the needs of diverse K-12 students in Taiwan? (2) To...
The main contributions of this thesis are the development and
application of four computationally efficient solutions for
least-squares-based (LS-based) minimum variance spectral estimation
(MVSE). They are: (1) fast computational solution for the 1-D
covariance LS-based MVSE, (2) fast computational solution for the
1-D modified covariance LS-based MVSE, (3) fast computational...
To protect and restore environmental quality, efficient and effective conservation policies are needed. Designing policies require a sound understanding of the contributions of natural endowments to economic vitality, and the performance and impacts of conservation programs. This dissertation consists of three essays, and addresses several issues relevant to these two...
An extensive theory of symmetric error control coding has been developed in the last few decades. The recently developed VLSI circuits, ROM, and RAM memories have given an impetus to the extension of error control coding to include asymmetric and unidirectional types of error control. The maximal numbers of unidirectional...
