(2018-07-13)The preparation of the modified silane [special characters omitted]; a phosphinoalkylsilane or PSi) via an alkylzirconium intermediate is reported. The synthesis of [special characters omitted] was carried out by the ...
-
(2018-07-13)This thesis describes work done with the thyroid hormone receptor (TR), a nuclear protein which binds to specific DNA sequences and regulates transcription in response to thyroid hormone levels. The studies can be divided ...
-
(2018-07-13)We have determined luminosity functions, surface density distributions and color distributions for galaxies in eight clusters of galaxies at moderate redshift (z ~ 0.02) observed at the CFHT. 1) In the inner 2' of four ...
-
(2018-07-13)Increasing the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of food systems while making them productive enough to feed a future global population of 9 billion is one of the most significant challenges facing humanity. ...

Modeling of general medium constitutive relationships in the transmission line matrix method (TLM) (2018-07-13)This thesis presents the modeling of general medium constitutive relationships in the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method. The technique is shown for two- and three-dimensional cases. The procedure consists of decoupling ...
-
(2018-07-13)In this dissertation, I examined the construction, function, and consequences of causal attributions in all British Columbia sexual assault trial judgements available through Quicklaw from 1986-1994. Most judgements contained ...
-
(2018-07-13)In this dissertation, a variety of semiconductor based transmission lines are investigated. Among them are metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) coplanar waveguide (CPW) slow-wave structures and laser diodes. Although laser ...
-
(2018-07-13)This study has examined in detail the experiences of an individual who was ritually abused as a young person. Two other people, who had been ritually abused, were also interviewed in order to serve as a means of triangulation ...
-
(2018-07-13)The novel complexes [special characters omitted] and [special characters omitted] were prepared and characterized. Photoredox quantum yields for the formation of [special characters omitted] from the above compounds were ...
-
(2018-07-13)The application of neural networks in the area of signal processing is examined. Two major areas are identified and suitable neural networks are developed. In the first area, neural networks are used as a tool for the ...
-
(2018-07-12)Sand crabs (Anomura: Hippoidea) have evolved a "new" means of locomotion: they use their thoracic legs to dig into the sand instead of walking on the benthos as many other decapod crustaceans do. I examined digging by three ...
-
(2018-07-12)Shallow oceanic seamounts have long been known to support rich nektonic stocks. However, the mechanism by which this occurs has never been satisfactorily explained. This thesis examines the role of current-topography ...
-
(2018-07-12)This study was conducted to evaluate the relationships among academic performance, visuoconstructional strategies, and social competence in children. In accordance with the theory of nonverbal learning disabilities, it was ...
-
(2018-07-12)Dementia is characterized by a progressive decline in intellectual, memory and other cognitive functions. Alzheimer's disease (DAT) is the most prevalent cause of dementia in later life. Memory impairment may be the first ...

Recall of medication instructions by young and old adult women: is overaccommodative speech helpful? (2018-07-12)In this study, we tested the effectiveness of overaccommodative speech as a way to improve recall and comprehension of long and complex medication regimen instructions. Overaccommodative speech was defined as speech ...
-
(2018-07-12)This dissertation aims to explore the rôle of cultus (body care) and ornatus (adornment and dress) in the lives of women in the central period of Roman history. Literary, archaeological, and documentary evidence is assembled ...
-
(2018-07-12)'Attractor' neural network models have useful properties, but biology suggests that more varied dynamics may be significant. Even the equations of the Hopfield network, without the constraint of symmetry, can have complex ...
-
(2018-07-12)In this work, an efficient algorithm to rigorously derive the spectral-domain impedance dyadic Green's function for patch antennas and (M)MIC on general complex anisotropic substrates is developed. The main advantage of ...
-
(2018-07-12)Given previous indications of callosal damage and dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS; e.g., Huber et al.,1987; Jacobson, Deppe & Murray, 1983), it was hypothesized that people with the disorder would show impairment ...
-
(2018-07-12)The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the role of selected neuromuscular factors thought to affect the generation of maximal power outputs in a complex multi-joint movement, using multiple muscles, contracting ...
