The purpose of this thesis is to apply the Canonical Correlation
Analysis (CCA) which belongs to the parametric methods for power
spectral estimation in the environments of either white noise or
colored noise. It is shown that optimal state space variables
belong to the range space of the canonical vectors...
Layered multiconductor coupled slot and strip-slot structures are characterized by introducing the full-wave modal analysis as well as the quasi-TEM spectral domain technique. In the modal analysis, the electric and magnetic fields are constructed in terms of modal fields in different regions. Application of the boundary conditions at interfaces for...
Metabolic syndrome is a problem affecting people around the world. In a number of studies, soy intake has been documented to possess antidiabetic and anticardiovascular effect. My project is focused on the impact of the intake of compounds found within soy, the isoflavones, their impact on metabolic syndrome symptoms, and...
Improved recovery of cryopreserved meristems and calli from in
vitro currant (Ribes aureum Pursh and R. ciliatum Humb. & Bonpl.) plants
was obtained by two-hour pretreatment with sucrose, proline, abscisic
acid-responsive protein (RABP), and bovine serum albumin (BSA)
solutions. Meristems and calli cold-acclimatized for one week were
immersed in pretreatment...
A detailed formulation of the momentum equation
including the Baroczy model for two phase friction is
presented in this thesis. Numerical techniques for solving
this equation along with the remainder of the describing
equations are also presented. This model has been
incorporated into an existing thermal hydraulic code for
simulating...
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been studied for their carcinogenic toxicity. PAHs are formed by incomplete carbon combustion. Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is an IARC classified Class 1 Human carcinogenic PAH. New studies are conducted to gain a better understanding of PAHs and how to reduce exposure. Glutathione S-transferase M 1 (GSTM1...
Objex is an object-oriented framework for producing C++ applications through specialization of a class library and interaction model. The problem addressed in this report is that of automatically producing C++ source code from Petri Network design descriptions of applications constructed from Objex components.
The approach is to add a code...
The stability analysis for a heated tube system is an
important safety feature of a nuclear power plant.
Although the system theory is well established for linear
systems described by ordinary differential equations, there
is still a shortage of theory dealing with a distributed
system, which is described by partial...
Some biochemical activities in embryo or seedling of
germinating rice (Oryza Sativa L.) seed were studied to explain the
effects of suboptimum (20 C), optimum (30 C), and supraoptimum (40 C)
temperatures on seed germination and seedling growth. It was observed
that 40 C slightly speeded up seed germination but...
