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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Acculturation, Ethnic Identity, Resilience, Self-esteem And General Well-being: A Psychosocial Study Of Colombians In The United States
(Social Work, 2008-09-17)
This research sought to identify the factors that contribute to the wellbeing of Colombians in the United States by exploring the differences in their wellbeing across three waves of immigration. It examined the extent to ...
Proteasomal Gene Duplications And Recruitment Of Testis Specific Expression In Drosophila
(Biology, 2008-09-17)
Proteasome is a large multisubunit complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins in a highly regulated manner in all eukaryotes. Two subcompartments of this subunit are the 19Scap and the 20S core particle with 19S acting ...
Comparative Thermal Biology And Associated Niche Differentiation Among the Five-Lined Skinks
(Biology, 2008-09-17)
Three species of five-lined skinks (Plestiodon fasciatus, P. laticeps, and P. inexpectatus) occur in regional sympatry across much of the Southeastern United States. These closely-related species, at one or more levels of ...
