Abstract:

Enhancement of the drug efficacy and elimination of the side effects resulting from drug overdoses are an essential aspect in drug therapy. To achieve these demands two general guidelines have been used; producing new drugs with higher selectivity and therefore less side effects and improving controlled/sustained drug delivery agents based on polymers. Thus, the relationship between the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the polymeric system is important in the development of a drug delivery system and several considerations need to be taken in to account, for example the polymer should be b

Abstract:

Roadway construction workers have to work in close proximity to construction equipment as well as high-speed traffic, exposing them to an elevated risk of collisions. This research aims to develop an innovative holistic solution to reduce the risk of collisions at roadway work zones. To this end, a connected hazard detection and prevention system is developed to detect potential unsafe proximities in highway work zones and provide warning and instructions of imminent threats. This connected system collects real-time information from all the actors inside and outside of the work zone and commun

Abstract:

The Makran subduction zone (offshore Pakistan and Iran) has the largest accretionary prism of any margin worldwide, formed due to the thick incoming sediment section of up to 7.5 km. This margin has been relatively understudied, and this thesis presents a new, detailed structural and hydrological interpretation and seismogenic hazard assessment for the Makran. The accretionary prism is dominated by simple, imbricate thrusts which form seaward verging, anticlinal ridges up to 200 km long. The prism has a low average taper angle of 4.5°. Two oceanic basement features intersect the deformation fr

Abstract:

The Mandarin potential complement construction is a language specific structure. This is different from most of the languages in the world including English where modal notions are expressed by modal verbs and auxiliaries. It is a syntactic construction used to convey potential possibility in Mandarin and Cantonese. The various behaviors of the modal expressions in these three languag，i.e., English, Cantonese and Mandarin, raise interesting questions in second language acquisition research. The present study aims to explore how Cantonese speaking learners and English speaking learners process

Abstract:

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems are gaining recognition as a cost effective and green heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) alternative in the United States. Still, this technology is not highly utilized due to factors such as high initial investment, lack of confidence and uncertainties in cost items. This study focuses on the reflection of the variations in cost items on the feasibility and life-cycle cost of a typical GSHP system. For this purpose, life-cycle costs were calculated for a typical GSHP system and cost data was gathered for several projects. Possible variation

Abstract:

The purpose of this creative project was to outline the concept of Wetland Incentive Zones and to develop a site masterplan based on this concept. Meant as an alternative to large single-site wetland banks, Wetland Incentive Zones would be linear areas of land where wetland construction and preservation efforts would be concentrated. The linear structure would distribute the benefits associated with wetlands through a greater area than would a typical wetland bank. If linked together, the zones would form a network of recreational greenways and function as a travel corridor for wildlife. Parti

Three innovative plastic building products have recently been introduced to the residential construction industry: plastic shingles, plastic lumbers, and plastic foam core sandwich panels.

However, an incentive for such concessions, is the possible financial reward from successfully

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Previous work showed that the maize primary root adapts to low Psiw (-1.6 MPa) by maintaining longitudinal expansion in the apical 3 mm (region 1), whereas in the adjacent 4 mm (region 2) longitudinal expansion reaches a maximum in well-watered roots but is progressively inhibited at low Psiw. To identify mechanisms that determine these responses to low Psiw, transcript expression was profiled in these regions of water-stressed and well-watered roots. In addition, comparison between region 2 of water-stressed roots and the zone of growth deceleration in well-watered roots (region 3)
