In this thesis we analyze a model for Kerr optical materials consisting of Maxwell's equations along with the dispersive Duffing model. We consider Duffing models with cubic and quintic polynomial nonlinearities. We assume a traveling wave solution to this nonlinear electromagnetic system and analyze it using the theory of dynamical...
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 138 was designed to study the late Neogene paleoceanography of the equatorial Pacific Ocean at time scales of thousands to millions of years. Crucial to this objective was the acquisition of continuous, high-resolution sedimentary records. It is well known that between successive advanced piston corer...
Background:
Previous studies of compatibility of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) and phosphates have not included particle counts in the range specified by the United States Pharmacopeia. Micro-flow imaging techniques have been shown to be comparable to light obscuration when determining particle count and size in pharmaceutical solutions.
Objective:
The purpose of...

INTRODUCTION: We have previously reported results of precipitation studies for neonatal parenteral nutrition solutions
containing calcium chloride and sodium phosphate using visual methods to determine compatibility. The purpose of this
study was to do further testing of compatibility for solutions containing calcium chloride using more sensitive methods.
METHODS: Solutions of...

Recent studies hypothesize that some submarine slides fail via pressure-driven slow-slip deformation. To test this hypothesis, this study derives pore pressures in failed and adjacent unfailed deep marine sediments by integrating rock physics models, physical property measurements on recovered sediment core, and wireline logs. Two drill sites (U1394 and U1399)...
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissue are frequently quantified to make inferences about plant responses to environmental conditions. Laboratories publishing estimates of NSC of woody plants use many different methods to evaluate NSC. We asked whether NSC estimates in the recent literature could be quantitatively compared among studies. We also...
Cumulative loss of habitat and long-term decline in the populations of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) have led to concerns for the species’ viability throughout its range in the southern Great Plains. For more efficient conservation past and present distributions of genetic variation need to be understood. We examined the...
