Impact Of Lateral Swell Pressure On Retaining Structure Design Using Expansive Cohesive Backfill
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2008-08-08)
Since cohesive soils are difficult to drain once becoming saturated, in order to reduce lateral earth pressures exerted by saturated cohesive soils on retaining structures, retaining wall designs most always specify use ...
The Facial Masculinity Of Women In Sex Segregated Occupations
(Sociology, 2009-09-16)
This purpose of the study was to bring more definition to the "problem" of occupational sex segregation, specifically why male-dominated occupations like engineering, firefighting, and the military still remain sex segregated. ...
Access To Mental Health Care: Clients Perception Of Services Provided By Agape Clinic And Community Care
(Social Work, 2009-09-16)
The purpose of this study was to identify whether there is a relationship between acculturation and utilization of mental health services among U.S. born and non-U.S. born Hispanics in the United States. Furthermore, the ...
An Ecological Systems Theory Approach In Looking at Mental Health Care Barriers in the Latino Community
(Social Work, 2008-08-08)
This study is an analysis of the association between mental healthcare barriers at the microsystem level using an ecological systems theory and key demographic variables among Latinos 18 years of age and older residing in ...
Localization Of Biliary Tree Structures By Use Of Photon Diffusion Models
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-08-08)
A novel computational methodology is proposed for the intraoperative localization of biliary tree structures by means of spectrally resolved near-infrared reflectance measurements. As these structures are embedded in fatty ...
Thermal Stresses Of Composite Beams With Rectangular And Tubular Cross-sections
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Closed-form analytical solutions for laminated composite beams with tubular and rectangular cross-sections are developed for evaluating the thermal induced stresses. The derivations are based on modified lamination theory ...
Transcoding From H264 Bitstream To MPEG-2 Bitstream
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
H.264/AVC was recently developed by the JVT (Joint Video Team). This new standard fulfills significant coding efficiency, simple syntax specifications and seamless integration of video coding into all current protocols and ...
Effects Of Religiosity And REBT On Substance Abuse And Mental Health
(Social Work, 2007-08-23)
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the impact of a Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)-based treatment program on subjects levels of risk for alcohol and drug abuse as measured by the Substance Abuse Questionnaire ...
Magnetically Anchored "reduced Trocar" Laparoscopy: Evolution Of Surgical Robotics
(Biomedical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Laparoscopic surgery has become increasingly popular over the last few years due to its benefits; lower morbidity, less perceived pain, better cosmesis results, and less hospital time. For the surgeon however, there are ...
ARRIBOT- An Enabler For Studying Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The objective of this thesis is to structure a mobile wireless sensor network using low cost, custom made robotic platforms. Over the years, several projects have proved that the performance of a static wireless sensor ...
