Analysis Of Novel Regulatory Region And Function Of A Young Drosophila Retrogene: Dntf-2r
(Biology, 2009-09-16)
Dntf-2r is a young retroposed gene that originated from the nuclear transport gene Dntf-2. Here the function, quality and evolutionary origin of the regulation of this retrogene are explored. In Chapter 1, I introduce the ...
Negotiated Authorship: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Professional Writer Job Postings
(English, 2009-09-16)
This qualitative study (a rhetorical/discourse analysis) explores the genre of job postings, particularly postings for writing-related jobs in the financial services sector, to determine how words like "author" and "writer" ...
Analysis Of Oxygen Uptake During Blood Flow Through A Rectangular Microchannel: A Two Phase Eulerian Model With Oxygen-hemoglobin Reaction
(Biomedical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
The evolution of oxygenator design has culminated in the current strategy of utilizing micro-porous membranes to separate blood and oxygen phases while utilizing extra-luminal blood flow orientations to promote passive and ...
The Effect Of Displacement Control Loading Histories On Genral Connecting Surfaces Using Finite Element Analysis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Displacement loading history provided by the AISC Seismic Provision 2002 is commonly used for experimental testing and analytical modeling of beam-to-column steel connection to stimulate the seismic effect. However, the ...
Analysis Of Calorimeter/itc Cosmic Ray Data From The Atlas Detector, And Preparation For Supersymmetry Searches
(Physics, 2009-09-16)
The Large Hadron Collider is the largest most ambitious experiment in high energy physics history. It involves the greatest number of scientists from around the world. The first collisions will start being produced in late ...
The Effect Of Awareness Of Moraic Structure On Native English Speakers' Listening Comprehension Of Japanese-english Speakers
(Psychology, 2009-09-16)
The main aim of the series of three experiments presented here was to find interventions to reduce miscommunication between native and non-native English speakers. Thirty four Standard English (SE) speakers in Experiment ...
Effects Of Edge Distance, Hole Size Ratio And Hole Spacing On Peak Stresses Of Composite Laminate With Multiple Holes
(Mechanical Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Unlike isotropic material, the stress distribution of laminate with a hole varies with its size, its material properties and fiber orientations of each layer. Moreover, presence of a hole in the neighborhood of another ...
Ageism And The Contact Hypothesis: The Effects Of Work-related And Non Work-related Contact On Age-related Stereotypes
(Psychology, 2009-09-16)
Ageism can be defined as positive or negative attitudes toward a group based solely on their age. The present study examined the effect of the contact hypothesis (Allport, 1958) on ageism. Specifically, work-related and ...
Failure Analysis Of A Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wall Using Finite Element Program Plaxis
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)
Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) retaining walls have been increasingly used in many federal, state and private projects over the last 20 years. MSE walls are reliable, constructible, and cost effective. However, failure ...
