Measurement Of Single Diffractive Differential Cross Section (dσ/(d|t|)) At √(s ) = 1.96 TeV Using The D0 Forward Proton Detectors
(Physics, 2011-10-11)
The analysis described in this dissertation uses the Forward Proton Detectors (FPD) installed at the D0 detector in the Tevatron collider at Fermilab to measure the single diffractive differential cross section (d&sigma/(d|t|)) ...
Nano-modified Cement Composites And Its Applicability As Concrete Repair Material
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Nanotechnology or Nano-science, considered the forth industrial revolution, has received considerable attention in the past decade. The physical properties of a nano-scaled material are entirely different than that of bulk ...
Moving Beyond This Moment: Employing Deleuze And Guattari's Rhizome In Postcolonialism
(English, 2011-10-11)
The aim of this project is two-fold: to discuss the limits of Frantz Fanon's postcolonial theories, and to then present a possible model for turning "the `thing' colonized [into] a new man" (Wretched 2) by liberating "him" ...
Preliminary Design Of Mesoscale Turbocompressor And Rotordynamics Tests Of Rotor Bearing System
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
A mesoscale turbocompressor spinning above 500,000 RPM is evolutionary technology for micro turbochargers, turbo blowers, turbo compressors, micro-gas turbines, auxiliary power units, etc for automotive, aerospace, and ...
Conditioned Place Preference In The Male Wistar-Kyoto Rat
(Psychology, 2011-10-11)
The current set of experiments examined the role of trait anxiety, using the Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rat, on cocaine- and morphine-induced conditioned place preference. Both four and six pairings of 10mg/kg cocaine during ...
Building A Foundation For Knowledge Management Research: Developing, Validating, And Applying The Knowledge Internalization Construct
(Information Systems & Operations Management, 2011-10-11)
The notion of knowledge internalization (KI), albeit a critical link in Nonaka's (1994) organizational knowledge creation theory, has not been rigorously conceptualized and defined, let alone operationalized. To strengthen ...
Building Cultural Bridges Across Generational Chasms: Comparing Chicano And Jewish American Literature
(English, 2011-07-14)
This study compares Arturo Islas's novel, The Rain God: A Desert Tale with Cynthia Ozick's novella, "Envy; or Yiddish in America." Specifically, I argue that during the 1970s, these authors fictionalized the discourse ...
Process Modeling System For Press Cure, Closed-cavity Tooled Thick Composites
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2011-10-11)
Thick structural composite parts often use press curing with closed-cavity tooling for achieving dimensional tolerances. A commonly encountered defect for these parts is fiber waviness, whick limits its structural strength. ...
Control System For Real Time Jitter Reduction And 3D Reconstruction Of Road Profile
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-10-11)
A large number of bridges, overpasses and other similar structures fail due to deterioration caused by factors such as vehicle loads, impact loads, severe weather conditions, etc. Routine monitoring of such structures ...
Race And Cricket: The West Indies And England At Lord's, 1963
(History, 2011-10-11)
Cricket became a sport in which there was a clear separation based on race and class; and these distinctions initially determined function within the sport. In England, where the distinction was based mostly on class, the ...
