(2021-08-10)
The research in this dissertation consists of a novel catalyst design which is aimed at helping manage the temperature instabilities and heat-transfer within a catalyst particle and maintaining an isothermal temperature ...
Academic Factors That Contribute To Pre-licensure Nursing Student Persistence
(Nursing, 2014-07-14)
The need for registered nurses is expected to grow exponentially in the next decade. As nurses retire and more Americans access the healthcare system, more than 400,000 nurses will be needed nationally (Auerbach, Buerhaus, ...
Strength And Stiffness Characteristics Of Lime Stabilized Soil In A Flexible Pavement Design
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Lime treatment has proven to be a useful tool for stabilizing expansive soils. Expansive soils cause major damage to flexible and rigid pavements every year, since seasonal changes in soil moisture creates cyclical changes ...
