(2012-03-27)
This thesis explores the usage of ice as a fixturing medium in CNC machining of fragile components. Ice is used both as an adhesive and a potting compound to hold and support work during cutting. Measurements of ice adhesion ...
Analogues of the Binomial Coefficient Theorems of Gauss and Jacobi
(2014-03-31)
Two of the more well known congruences for binomial coefficients modulo p, due to Gauss and Jacobi, are related to the representation of an odd prime (or an integer multiple of the odd prime) p as a sum of two squares (or ...
Reframing the Branch Library: Enhancing Communication for the Public Good

This thesis traces changes in dietary recommendations regarding sugar from WWII to the 1970s, considering the ways advice was shaped, disseminated, and digested as it related to three competing but interconnected factors: ...
A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF SELF-DISCHARGE MECHANISMS IN CARBON-BASED, AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS
(2013-03-21)
This work focused on the study of self-discharge mechanisms of carbon electrochemical capacitor electrodes in 1.0 M H2SO4 electrolyte. Electrochemical capacitors have an increasingly important role in the future of energy ...
Ecology And Evolution Of Heavily Exploited Fish Populations
(2012-07-10)
Commercial harvest of fish stocks and their appropriate management requires an understanding
of their population dynamics and of their ability to sustain exploitation.
Here, some ecological and evolutionary consequences ...
Natriuretic peptides modulate heart rate, electrical conduction and arrhythmogensis in vivo
(2013-07-22)
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are a family of cardioprotective hormones including B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP). NPs elicit their effects via three receptors denoted NPR-A (binds BNP), ...

framework that draws on dispute resolution and ...
Assessment of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in a Green Roof System
(2013-08-27)
Green roof design has proceeded without integration of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). A literature survey was therefore conducted in order to determine which aspects of green roof functioning might be enhanced by AMF, ...
