Chemostratigraphy Of The Eagle Ford Formation
(Geology, 2012-04-11)
The Late Cretaceous Eagle Ford Formation contains the Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary (CTB). It crops out along the Red River and extends southward through the Dallas-Fort Worth Area of Texas, Waco, Austin and west towards ...
Evaluation Of Building Information Modeling (BIM) For Water Transmission Pipelines
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2012-04-11)
In the construction industry, water transmission pipelines projects typically require two-dimensional drawings for transferring design data to the field. These drawings are referred as construction documents and serve as ...
Mode Structure Of A Noiseless Phase-sensitive Image Amplifier
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Optical parametric amplifiers (OPAs) configured as phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) can be used for noiseless optical image amplification, generation of non-classical states of light, and, in particular, for multimode ...
Bioinformatic Identification Of Small RNA (and Their Targets) In The Testis Of Clawed Frogs (Xenopus And Silurana): Implications For Male Fertility
(Biology, 2012-04-11)
Chapter one sets the stage for this project, which lies somewhere near the intersection of speciation, genome, and reproductive biology. Chapter two identifies miRNA with shared expression profiles (Silurana and Xenopus). ...
Characterization Of Multifunctional Biodegradable - Biocompatible ICG-loaded Nanoparticles And Their Feasibility For Prostate Cancer Imaging And Phototherapy
(Biomedical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the United States, and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. The conventional diagnostic procedures use an invasive approach to collect the biopsy tissue samples. ...
Needle Detection And Localization In Simulated In-vivo Ultrasound Image For Use In Breast Biopsy
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
This thesis addresses needle segmentation in ultrasound images for breast cancer biopsy. The thesis reviews the state-of-the-art in object localization using ultrasound (US) imagery. In particular, principal component ...
Feasibility Study Of T700 Rotorcraft Engine Rotor Supported By Hybrid Air Foil Bearings
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-04-11)
A potential solution towards light weighted and simple structured turbomachinery lies in elimination of oil-lubrication system. These promising benefits of oil-free turbomachinery have demanded extensive research in the ...
Predicting The Ancient Occurrence Of Evaporites Using Paleoclimate Modelling
(Geology, 2012-04-11)
Evaporites are climatic indicators that depend on two main variables: mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation. This study constructs a model that predicts the localities of ancient evaporites based on paleo- ...
Climate Reconstruction Using Trace Element And Stable Isotope Signatures Preserved In An Early Late Pleistocene Stalagmite From Buckeye Creek Cave, Appalachian Mountains, Southern West Virginia, Usa
(Geology, 2012-04-11)
An early-Late Pleistocene stalagmite was recovered from Buckeye Creek Cave (37°58.57'N, 80°23.98'W), southeastern West Virginia, USA. The growth axis of stalagmite BCC-025 was sampled for δ18O, δ13C, and Sr/Ca of the ...
Finally, My Thesis On Academic Procrastination
(Psychology, 2012-04-11)
References to procrastination have been dated back to as long as 3,000 years ago. However, research on procrastination is ironically enormously behind the curve in active research on its antecedents and effects. Academic ...
