Multiscale Modeling Of Targeted Drug Delivery And DIEP Flap Perfusion
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Advances in computational techniques have changed diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases. This thesis work is composed of developing computational models in two application areas: nanomedicine and determining DIEP ...
Thermo-mechanical Analysis Of A 3D Package In Microelectronics And Cooling Technologies For An IGBT Thermal Tester In Power Electronics
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In the past, compact components such as chip scale packages and flip chip packages were the work horses of miniaturization. However emerging applications are now demanding even higher packaging density which has led to the ...
Effects Of Freezing On The Mechanical Properties Of Engineered Tissues
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Cryopreservation is used to preserve cells and tissues at low temperatures for short and long term uses. Some examples of where cryopreservation is used include the storage of organs, blood, embryos, and artificial tissues. ...
Kinematic Analysis Of A Quadruped Robot Capable Of Working As A Machining Tool
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Parallel robots have been proposed for some time now due to their potential advantages over serial robots in high load bearing, acceleration, stiffness and with lower moving mass. Mobile parallel configurations, i.e. ...
A Planar Cavity Backed Slot Antenna Array For Ultra-wideband Monopulse Radars
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In this thesis, a wideband cavity backed slot antenna is designed for automotive-borne monopulse radar applications. A rectangular slot is used to realize broad bandwidth; the slot is backed by a cavity and vertical walls ...
The Effects Of Community Uninsurance On Health Care Quality For The Insured Population
(Economics, 2010-07-19)
An important aspect of the ongoing health care reform of 2010 is to provide health coverage to the uninsured, the rising population of which has remained a significant challenge to overcome. Previously, efforts to reduce ...
Analysis Of Thrust Development In A Pulse Detonaton Engine
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Pulse detonation engines (PDE) employ detonation waves to compress and burn the fuel and oxidizer mixture which results in the release of high pressure and temperature. The objective of the present study is to analytically ...
Place-names, Conquest, And Empire: Spanish And Amerindian Conceptions Of Place In The New World
(History, 2011-09-12)
This research corrects the one-sided historiography of toponyms in the New World, which focus only on the European imposition of place-names, viewed by many postmodernist scholars as a way to oppress and suppress the native ...
Pediatric nurses' journeys to relieve children's post-operative pain
(Nursing, 2010-07-19)
This study sought to bridge the gap of nurses' knowledge of pain management and translation into clinical practice by describing pediatric nurses' negotiation of the bureaucracy of caring. The purpose of this study was to ...
Mechanisms Of Biomaterial Mediated Fibrotic Responses And Strategies To Improve Tissue Reactions To Biomaterial Implants
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Despite considerable advancements in biomaterial synthesis and modification techniques, most tissue engineering scaffolds elicit fibrotic reactions resulting in implant encapsulation, secluding cells and/or therapeutic ...
