Quantitative Analysis Of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectra
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-10-22)Quantitative analysis of Raman spectra using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoparticles has shown the potential and promising trend of development in vivo molecular imaging. One of the key job is from the ... -
Quantitative Comparison Of Two Approaches To Agent Cooperation
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)Multi-agent systems (MASs) are characterized by collections of autonomous agents that interact with each other in simple ways, but the collection of agents as a whole is characterized by emergent behavior (EB) which will ... -
QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF A THRUST VECTOR CONTROLLED TRANSPORT AT THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE
(2015-12-16)The impetus to innovate, to push the bounds and break the molds of evolutionary design trends, often comes from competition but sometimes requires catalytic political legislature. For this research endeavor, the ‘catalyzing ... -
QUANTITATIVE NON-DESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION (NDE) OF FRP LAMINATE-CONCRETE BOND STRENGTH
(2017-12-06)Repair and rehabilitation methods for civil infrastructure have become a topic of great interest to engineers. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) is considered as one of the most popular and practical solutions for strengthening ... -
Quantitative Non-Destructive Evaluation of Rebar Corrosion in Concrete
(2022-05-17)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 5/16/2024** ABSTRACT: Corrosion of rebar is considered the leading cause of deterioration in concrete structures. When steel rust, it occupies larger volume and creates ... -
Quantitative Non-destructive Evaluation Of Rebar Diameter And Corrosion Damage In Concrete Using Ground Penetrating Radar
The purpose of this study is to develop new methods for quantitative estimation of rebar diameter and loss of area of rebar due to corrosion using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The existing methods of determining the ... -
Quantitative Variation Of Blood Pressure Dynamics During Sleep Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)Sleep Apnea is one of the major sleep disorders characterized by complete cessation or decline in breathing for about 10s or more during sleep, thereby adversely affecting the quality of sleep. Studies show that about 6 % ... -
Quantized Enveloping Superalgebra of Type P
(2022-05-09)We introduce a new quantized enveloping superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ attached to the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{p}_n$ of type P. The superalgebra $\mathfrak{U}_q\mathfrak{p}_n$ is a quantization of a Lie ... -
Quantum Modeling Of Dark Matter In Galactic Halos
(Physics, 2013-03-20)Eighty years after its initial discovery, the nature of dark matter remains a mystery. Contrary to observational evidence, simulations of dark matter halos predict cuspy density profiles and an abundant population of dwarf ... -
Quartic: An Ultra-fast Time-of-flight Counter
(Physics, 2007-09-17)Fast time-of-flight counters are planned to dramatically decrease backgrounds to events with a massive central system and forward/backward protons at the LHC. By using timing to confirm that the protons originated from the ... -
A Quasi-experimental Design: Multisystemic Therapy As An Alternative Community-based Treatment For Youth With Severe Emotional Disturbance
(Social Work, 2007-09-17)This study compared multisystemic therapy to usual services in a community mental health setting for emotionally disturbed youth with externalizing disorders. Usual services included the combination of case management with ... -
QUASI-ONE-DIMENSIONAL SCRAMJET COMBUSTOR FLOW SOLVER USING THE NUMERICAL PROPULSION SYSTEM SIMULATION
(2018-05-16)The flow field inside a scramjet engine combustor involves complex phenomena such as fuel-air mixing, combustion chemistry, and flow separation. In order to determine the properties of the flow along the length of the ... -
Queering the Aftermath: Rethinking the Queer in Postcolonial and the (Post)colonial in Queer
(2016-05-13)“Queering the Aftermath: Rethinking the Queer in Postcolonial and the (Post)colonial in Queer,” argues the necessity for a sustained dialogue between the fields of postcolonial studies and queer studies. The paucity of ... -
