Enhanced Bioinformatics Data Modeling Concepts And Their Use In Querying And Integration
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)
In bioinformatics research, scientists usually face the problems of modeling complex data types and integrating diverse resources. Traditional data models such as EER lack the expressing power to capture many characteristics ...
The Influence Of Ageism On Personnel Decision Making
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)
Ageism is a topic in today's world of great consequence, especially due to the multimillion dollar costs of age-related discrimination charges and the potential to ineffectively utilize organizational talent. Additionally, ...
Integrated MEMS Microsensors
(Electrical Engineering, 2008-04-22)
Many Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) products have been commercialized at a fraction of the cost and size of conventional devices. Low cost, small sizes and multi-function are the ultimate objectives of commodity ...
Mutual Information Based Non-rigid Image Registration Using Adaptive Grid Generation: GPU Implementation And Application To Breast MRI
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2008-09-17)
In this dissertation a new approach for non-rigid image registration using mutual information is introduced. A fast method for non-rigid registration is developed by adjusting divergence and curl of an intermediate vector ...
Derivation Of The Dynamics Equations For Receiver Aircraft In Aerial Refueling
(Aerospace Engineering, 2008-04-22)
This thesis describes the derivation of a new set of nonlinear, 6--DOF equations of motion of a receiver aircraft undergoing an aerial refueling, including the effect of time-varying mass and inertia properties associated ...
Weber's "Protestant Ethic" And His Critics
(Humanities, 2007-08-23)
This thesis focuses on Max Weber’s “Protestant Ethic” Thesis. In his thesis
Weber claims after the Reformation, Calvinism created the needed work ethic to
produce modern capitalism. His critic’s arguments against this ...
Biodegradable Fluorescent Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Most of the works done on fluorescent polymers are focused on their potential applications in lighting industries. Much less interest has been paid for their potential application in the field of biology and biomedical ...
The Synthesis And Luminescence Properties Of Lanthanide-based Nanoparticles For Biological Application
(Physics, 2008-09-17)
Lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have great potential as a new kind of luminescent material. In this thesis, we report the synthesis of Cerium-doped LaF3 nanoparticles in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using chemical reaction at ...
Servicescape And Customer Satisfaction: The Role Of Strategy
(Information Systems & Operations Management, 2009-09-16)
The purpose of this research is to determine if the corporate strategy theory base may be useful in advancing the understanding of service characteristics; specifically, the relationship between particular service industries, ...
Subcellular Light Activation, Control And Manipulation Using A Dynamically Reconfigurable Nanopatterning System
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)
Cellular communication is the basis of all cellular activities and functions. Cell signaling is crucial in the processes of tissue maintenance, tissue development and homeostasis. Errors in transmission or interpretation ...
