The motivation of this research is to study different cache designs for on-chip
caches that improve processor performance and at the same time
minimize the degradation to system performance caused by an increase in
the processor memory traffic. As VLSI technology advances we can have
bigger and more complex on-chip...
A new experimental technique for the study of
atom-surface interactions is obtained by passing an atomic
beam containing high-Rydberg states through a fine mesh
target. The technique is demonstrated to be a sensitive
probe of the electric fields of adsorbed dipole layers in
transmission experiments in which a time-dependent beam...
Relational database systems have successfully solved many
business data processing problems. The primary reason of this
success is that the relational data model provides a simple, yet
flexible view of data as tables. In studying VLSI/CAD data, we noticed
that they are often represented in formats similar to relational
tuples....
The purpose of this study was to describe the leadership development process
of former student leaders at Snow College. More specifically, the study focused on
understanding how, when, and where leadership development took place in their
"lived experience" within the student government at Snow College (Van Manen,
1998). Examining the...
The primary problem of this study was to evaluate the post-high
school plans component of a high school counseling program. The
intent was to determine the effectiveness of the program component in
relation to the purpose it was designed to serve: providing information
and guidance for high school students who...
In the first set of studies, 2 experiments evaluated the influence of supplement composition on ruminal forage disappearance, performance, and physiological responses of Angus × Hereford cattle consuming a low-quality, cool-season forage (8.7 % CP and 57 % TDN). In Exp. 1, 6 rumen-fistulated steers housed in individual pens were...
Lysozyme is a natural antimicrobial agent that is effective against many
food spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms by disintegrating their cell walls.
Immobilization of lysozyme has attractive applications for use in the food
industry: (1) The enzyme could be readily separated from treated foods and
beverages and re-used while the foods...
Maximum equilibrium scour depths, equilibrium scour volumes,
and induced equilibrium movements at isolated obstacles on river
beds were investigated in clear-water scour. The research was
achieved by a systematic flume study based on the results of
dimensional analysis of local scour.
The main tested obstacles for local scour were cubes....
