Numerical simulation of the January and July global
climate with the OSU two-level atmospheric general circulation
model has generated time series of the global
distribution of selected climatic variables. Analyses of
these data for the kinetic energy and available potential
energy based on 31-day time mean statistics have been
made...
Thermodynamical and dynamical aspects of tropical cloud
clusters are studied using data from the GARP Atlantic Tropical
Experiment (GATE). The data set used in this study is a
three-dimensional gridded set of upper-air analyses constructed by
Ooyama and Chu (Hurricane Research Division, AOML/NOAA and
SSEC-University of Wisconsin) for wind data...
Time of Arrival (TOA) is a popular technique used for geolocation. This thesis evaluates the use of TOA techniques indoors. The accuracy of measuring distances using TOA is dependent on the bandwidth of the system and the multipath conditions between the receiver and transmitter. System bandwidth has a significant effect...
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...
The purpose of this research was to determine whether
student academic achievement in college computer science
programs in the Republic of China (ROC) could be predicted
by factors reported to be effective in US studies. The
relationship between these factors and course performance in
computer science programs was examined. Gender...
The bioavailability of vitamin B-6 from four selected
foods was investigated in five men, aged 22 to 25 years,
who were receiving a pyridoxine supplement. The subjects
received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin B-6
throughout this five-week study, except on Saturdays and
Sundays when they ate their...
The thermal wave technique has been explored for the use of liquid thermal conductivity measurement and flow property diagnostics in this dissertation. For liquid thermal conductivity measurements, an experimental technique based on the thermal wave approach is developed. A stainless steel strip functions as both a heating element and a...
An aqueous solution of technical glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)
glycine] was applied in homogeneous sprays of 120, 180 and 300 μm
droplets to seedlings of a bush type green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
L. 'OSU 1604') at a carrier rate of 20 1/ha. At each droplet size
all combinations of 3 dosage levels...
The effect of pyridoxine (PN) supplementation on the activities
of erythrocyte alanine aminotransferase (EAlaAT) and aspartate aminotransferase
(EAspAT) was observed in five men, aged 22 to 25 years.
The subjects received a constant diet containing 1.34 mg of vitamin
B-6 Monday through Friday of each week during this five-week study....
