Durability Studies On Stabilization Effectiveness Of Soils Containing Different Fractions Of Montmorillonite
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Stabilization of clays with additives like lime and cement has been practiced for several years and worked well in improving the subgrades. Though this practice is used widely, there were cases where the treated subgrades ...
A Portable Biotelemeter For Batteryless GERD Sensors
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
In many medical problems, a continuous monitoring of the disease in vivo is essential to prevent further deterioration of health. The monitoring usually exceeds 24 hours. With the help of current advanced technologies, ...
Exploring Vulnerability And Consent To Trafficking Related Migration: A Study Of South Asian Bar Dancers
(Social Work, 2010-03-03)
Lack of resources in South Asian countries compel many people to migrate to other countries, some legally, others illegally. In 2005, Over 100,000 bar dancers in Mumbai became unemployed overnight when the state government ...
Enantiomeric Separation, Microorganism Studies And Determination Of Binding Constants Using Capillary Electrophoresis
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2010-03-03)
Enantiomeric separation of three series of compounds, including β-lactams, synthetic amino acids and ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes using different modes of capillary electrophoresis are discussed in this dissertation. ...
Field Investigations On Performance Of Short Drilled Shafts Under Inclined Loading
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In the Kaufman County area within the Texas Department of Transportation's Dallas District, several short drilled shaft foundations supporting three-cable median barrier systems wereobserved to be distressed during severe ...
Novel Nonparametric Control Charts For Monitoring Multivariate Processes
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2010-03-03)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop novel nonparametric control charts to effectively monitor and diagnose multivariate processes with a minimal set of modeling assumptions. Statistical process control (SPC) ...
A Discourse Analysis Of The Periphrastic Imperfect In The Greek New Testament Writings Of Luke
(Linguistics, 2010-07-19)
Motivated by Bloomfield's belief that linguistic variation is not without motivation, this paper seeks to determine the distinction between the morphological imperfect and periphrastic imperfect of Koine Greek within the ...
Online Adaptive Optimal Control For Continuous-time Systems
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
This work makes two major contributions. * First, in the field of computational intelligence, it develops reinforcement learning controllers (i.e. approximate dynamic programming algorithms) for continuous-time systems, ...
Automated 3D Microassembly With Precision Adjusted Hybrid Supervisory Controller
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-03-03)
Unlike semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs), newer microsystems combine sensors, actuators, mechanical structures, electronics, and optics on a single substrate. In such a diversified system, heterogeneous manipulation ...
Development Of A Suction-controlled Resonant Column Apparatus With Self-contained Bender Elements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Small-strain soil stiffness properties such as shear modulus, shear wave velocity, and material damping, are key subsoil parameters for an adequate analysis and design of unsaturated earth structures subject to static and ...
