This thesis examines substrate noise coupling for NMOS transistors in heavily doped substrates. The study begins with the analysis of an NMOS transistor switching noise in a digital inverter at the device level. A resistive substrate network for the NMOS transistor is proposed and verified. Coupling between N+- P+ contacts...
The virion protein patterns of 72 isolates of infectious
hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) were analyzed by sodium dodecyl
sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of S-methionine
labeled virus. This analysis led to the classification of these virus
isolates into 4 or more types. Type 1 virus is characterized by a
nucleocapsid protein...
The purpose of this study was to compare the
reverse-chaining and forward-chaining instructional
methods in teaching a motor task to mentally retarded
individuals. The subjects were selected from Fairview
Training Center, Salem, Oregon. Each of the subjects
was classified as mentally retarded with a range from
moderate to severe retardation....

According to Blackwell, Miniard, and Engel (2001), "[c]ulture has a profound effect on why and how people buy and consume products and services" (p. 320). In the present study, Hofstede's classifications of national culture are used as a framework to examine the relationships among long-term orientation national culture (Taiwan and...
The seeds of Douglas fir, a representative of the gymnosperm
flora, were studied at six stages of germination to discern the structures
of food reserves and to study ultrastructural changes occurring
during germination in the embryo and resulting seedlings.
The materials were fixed in three fixatives, dehydrated with
ethanol series,...
With the expansion of transport, increasing car ownership, rapid increase in outbound travel and new interests in nature based eco-tourism, and the adoption of 5 work days, marine eco-tourism is expected to have a very promising future and need more detailed preparation and planning. While marine eco-tourism occupies 30% of...
The glycoprotein, G, of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, IHNV,
was shown to be the viral protein which elicits and reacts with neutralizing
antibodies. The G protein also confers protective immunity on immunized
susceptible salmonid hosts to IHNV. The other three structural proteins of
IHNV, N, Ml, and M2, do not...
This thesis details investigations of marine cyanobacterial secondary metabolism, with emphasis on a strain of Phormidium sp. collected in Indonesia. These studies assessed the effects of nineteen putative elicitor compounds on the growth and metabolite production of five species of marine cyanobacteria, biosynthetic investigation of an intriguing secondary metabolite, phormidolide,...
The adsorption and elution of the antimicrobial peptide nisin at hydrophobic,
silanized silica surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-
poly[ethylene oxide] surfactant Pluronic® F108 was measured in situ, with ellipsometry.
While such layers are known to inhibit protein adsorption, nisin was observed to adsorb in
multilayer quantities, to an...
