The travel narrative is, ostensibly, little more than representation of foreign places and things, foreign objects. The language of the travel narrative seems, on the surface, to succeed in representing the foreign. None ...
Impact Of Suburbs: Assessing Tree Coverage Using Geo-spatial Tools In The City Of Fort Worth
(Landscape Architecture, 2011-03-03)
Throughout the last century, developers kept pace with the growing housing demand, and in doing so, former rural landscape continued to become part of the urban fabric (Corrigan et al, 2004; Secker 2007). This newly ...
Impacts Of Urbanization On Environmental Resources: A Land Use Planning Perspective
(Urban & Public Affairs, 2011-03-03)
The main purpose of this thesis is to (1) study the impacts of urbanization on environmental resources, and (2) propose land use planning strategies to avoid or at least minimize the impacts from future land use planning ...
Inverse Design Of Airfoils Using A Flexible Membrane Method
(Aerospace Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The Modified Garabedian Mc-Fadden (MGM) method is used to inversely design airfoils. The Finite Difference Method (FDM) for Non-Uniform Grids was developed to discretize the MGM equation for numerical solving. The Finite ...
Mean Pressure Measurements Of Micro-vortex Generator At Mach 2.5
(Aerospace Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Shock wave/boundary layer interactions (SBLIs) are always an important issue for high-speed vehicles. SBLIs reduce the performance of aerodynamic surfaces and engine inlets, amongst a number of adverse effects. Micro-vortex ...
Nanocrystalline Piezoresistive Polysilicon Film Obtained By Aluminum Induced Crystallization For Pressure Sensing Applications
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The overall objective of our research was to integrate various sensors on to a single flexible substrate for multi-sensory information gathering. Additional capabilities could be incorporated towards the realization of ...
Search For Supersymmetry In Dijet And Multijet Channels And Soft QCD Measurements Using The ATLAS Detector At The Large Hadron Collider
(Physics, 2011-03-03)
The ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has collected a substantial amount of data to understand the Standard Model of particle physics at higher than previous center of mass energy available and to ...
Saviors In The South: Restoring Humanity To Irish Famine Immigrants in New Orleans, 1847-1880
(History, 2011-03-03)
My thesis begins in during the Irish Famine in 1847, and follows Irish emigrants across the Atlantic Ocean to New Orleans where they faced disease, poverty, and prejudice. During the Irish famine, epidemics struck across ...
Development Of Orchestrated Stem Cell-based Regeneration (OSCeR) -strategies To Recruit And Differentiate Autologous Stem Cells For Tissue Regeneration
(Biomedical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Stem cell therapy has shown great promise in curing diseases. However, clinical application of stem cell therapy is often hindered by the lack of reliable sources and convenient methods to recover stem cells. Our laboratory ...
Factors Affecting The Relocation And Transition Of Internationally Educated Nurses Migrating To The United States Of America
(Nursing, 2011-03-03)
A paucity of research studies and systematic reviews have been conducted on IEN nurse migration experiences in the US. The number of IENs in the US RN workforce is projected to continue growing. Therefore, studies on nurse ...
