The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine the
conditions necessary for the preparation of cell-free extracts of
nodule bacteroids capable of catalysing the reduction of acetylene to
ethylene and nitrogen to ammonia. Initial investigations were conducted
to determine whether intact soybean root nodules would reduce
acetylene to ethylene...
With current nonlinear analysis computer capabilities, this
study was conducted to develop a linkage element that permits
analyses of wood composite structures taking into account possible
slip in the nailed joints. The finite elements chosen to represent the wood stud, plywood, gypsum and nails are described. The
method as applied...
A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the
capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or
dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed
buildings with semirigid connection systems is
presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification
of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a
linkage...
Geometric Problems become increasingly intractable and difficult to visualize as the number of dimensions increases beyond three. Inductions from lower dimensional spaces are possible yet often awkward. This thesis shows how elementary linear algebra, vector calculus, and combinatorics offer improved methods for calculating the dihedral angles of n-simplicies and proving...
This dissertation investigates the use of a hardware mechanism called Eager Data Transfer (EDT) for achieving the reduction of communication latency for user-level network protocol. To reach the goal, the dissertation addresses the following research issues. First, the development of a communication system performance evaluation tool called Linux/SimOS is presented....
This research is an effort to explore the nature of good work, a concept that describes work that is beneficial to the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of its stakeholders, including and especially the worker. This effort is divided into four distinct parts. First, the construct of good work is...
