Performance And Check-out Verification Testing Of A New True Triaxial Apparatus Using Partially Saturated Silty Sand
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A stress-controlled, flexible boundary, true triaxial (cubical) testing apparatus has been developed to test 3-inch cubical specimen of partially saturated soil under different moisture contents and for a wide range of ...
An Evaluation Of The Biomechanical Properties Of The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-03-29)
The Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS) is a well defined tissue layer of the face commonly utilized in facial surgery, including facelifts. There are several reasons for the utilization of this tissue, including ...
A Study Of Factors Affecting Scale Roughness In The Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)
(Biology, 2007-08-23)
Reptilian scales are very complex with patterns across their surface like a human fingerprint. These patterns are species specific, but there has been no way to quantify differences. A new technique using the confocal ...
Relative Clock Drift Rate Based Secure Time Synchronization For Wireless Sensor Networks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Time synchronization is critical issue to many wireless sensor network applications such that target tracking, TDMA radio scheduling, and secure localization. However, the most of existing time synchronization algorithms ...
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 ...
