Sensitivity Analysis Of Three Assembly Procedures For A Bascule Bridge Fulcrum, Luke Allen Snyder

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Many different hub assembly procedures have been utilized over the years in bascule bridge construction. The first assembly procedure (AP1) involves shrink fitting a trunnion component into a hub, followed by the shrink fitting of the entire trunnion-hub (TH) assembly into the girder of the bridge. The second assembly procedure (AP2) involves shrink fitting the hub component first into the girder, then shrink fitting the trunnion component into the hub-girder (HG) assembly. The final assembly procedure uses a warm shrink fitting process whereby induction coils are placed on the girder of the bridge and heat is applied until sufficient thermal …

Hospitality Marketing Mix And Service Marketing Principles, David Bojanic

Business and Information Technology Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Concept of Marketing is based on the Premise that Firms Should Determine Consumer Wants and Needs Before Designing Products and Services. This Consumer-Orientation Results in Greater Demand for a Firm's Products and Services and Higher Levels of Customer Satisfaction after the Purchase. Marriott International Followed This Approach in Developing their Courtyard and Residence Inns Hotels. for Example, the Courtyard Concept is Supposed to Attract Business Travelers and Transient Customers Who Do Not Really Like Staying at Hotels (Wind Et Al, 1992; Hart, 1986). the Researchers Recruited Individuals for Focus Groups Representing These Two Market Segments to Determine the Hotel …

Information For Rural Communities: A Solution For Sustainable Development In The Niger Delta, Abraham Tabor Etebu

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Information provision for sustainable development in Africa 's rural communities is of great importance to government and their ministries. Rural communities are used to oral communication, which includes storytelling, meetings, messages through town criers, and others. Western methods of information provision, including libraries, museums, and so on, are alien to rural communities who are mainly illiterate. The Bayelsa State Gover

Mechanisms Of Hematopoietic-Mesenchymal Cell Activation, Justin Lemieux

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

As the prevalence of osteoporosis is expected to increase over the next few decades, the development of novel therapeutic strategies to combat this disorder becomes clinically imperative. These efforts draw extensively from an expanding body of knowledge pertaining to the physiologic mechanisms of skeletal homeostasis. To this body of knowledge, we contribute that cells of hematopoietic lineage may play a crucial role in balancing osteoblastic bone formation against osteoclastic resorption. Specifically, our laboratory has previously demonstrated that megakaryocytes can induce osteoblast proliferation in vitro, but do so only when direct cell-to-cell contact is permitted. To further investigate the nature of …

Thinking Outside The Black Box: Current Policies And Problems With The Fda's Highest Drug Safety Warning, Kylene Halloran

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Based on data collected from clinical trials and post-approval surveillance systems, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues warnings to communicate increasingly dangerous and/ or preventable risks to doctors and their patients. The black box warning, the highest of all warnings issued by the FDA, emphasizes risks the FDA has deemed are critical to safe use of the drug. The warning has numerous implications for the pharmaceutical companies and physicians. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the infrastructure of the adverse effect detection system, the effects of the Food and Drug Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007, and the …

Aesthetics Of The Female Breast: Correlation Of Pluralistic Evaluations With Volume And Surface Area, Yuen-Jong Liu

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The goal of cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery is to fashion symmetric breasts with aesthetically acceptable shapes. Breast shape is largely determined by volume of tissue and surface area of the skin envelope. Values for breast surface area have never been published in the literature. The investigators developed an inexpensive, non-invasive optical method to objectively measure breast volume and surface area. The aims were to validate the method, to assess the accuracy of visual inspection by plastic surgeons, to determine ideal anthropomorphic measurements, and to derive a mathematical relationship between volume and surface area for an aesthetically acceptable shape. In …

Disease Predilection And Molecular Heterogeneity Of The Murine Aorta Are Intrinsic To The Vessel Wall, Sheng-Fu Lo

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis or aneurysmal disease preferentially affect different parts of the arterial system. Despite this heterogeneous pattern of disease within the arterial system, the contribution of different smooth muscle cell phenotypes to this pattern has not been well studied. We investigated aortic disease susceptibility and epigenetic differences within different regions of the murine aorta. Quantitative analyses showed more numerous atherosclerotic plaques and larger aneurysms in the ascending aorta compared to the descending thoracic aorta in apoE-/- and fbn1C1039G/+ mice, respectively. Interferon-γ and transforming growth factor-β responses, characteristic of these disease processes, were greater in the ascending vs. …

Photosensitive Polymeric Material For Worm Optical Data Storage With Two Photon Fluorescent Readout, Kevin Belfield

UCF Patents

Image formation via photoinduced fluorescence changes in a polymeric medium with two-photon fluorescence readout of a multi-layer structure. Fluorophore-containing polymers, possessing one or more basic functional groups, underwent protonation in the presence of a photoinduced acid generator upon exposure to a broad-band UV light source or fast-pulsed red to near-IR laser irradiation. Solution studies demonstrated formation of monoprotonated and diprotonated species upon irradiation, each resulting in distinctly different absorption and fluorescence properties. The fluorescence of the original, neutral, fluorophore was reduced upon monoprotonation leading to a concomitant increase in fluorescence at longer wavelengths due to the monoprotonated form, the basis …

Investigation Of Tetrahedron Elements Using Automatic Meshing In Finite Element Analysis, Gordon Bae-Ji Tseng

Theses

This investigation examines the quality of finite element analysis (FEA) results based on the use of tetrahedron elements. For some classes of problems analyzed by the finite element method (FEM), the use of various polynomial order tetrahedra is considered quite acceptable. However, in other classes of problems, particularly stress analysis, users have a strong bias against these types of elements. Various case studies are performed, comparing results based on several types of three-dimensional elements.

The Potential Impact Of Riparian Buffer Zones On Sediment And Phosphorus Loading In Two Canandaigua Lake Subwatersheds, Valerie George

Theses

Thousands rely on the water of Canandaigua Lake for drinking water, fishing, boating and swimming each year. The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Council (CLWC) was formed with the goal of protecting the high quality of this water source. The CLWC has been monitoring the lake and its tributaries for thirteen years. The lake remains in good condition, but testing has revealed an overall increase in total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS). This study identifies potential TSS and TP sources in the Eelpot Creek subwatershed. This creek has some of the highest concentrations of these pollutants in the entire Canandaigua …

Investigate Correlations Of Microstructures, Mechanical Properties And Fsw Process Variables In Friction Stir Welded High Strength Low Alloy 65 Steel, Lingyun Wei

Theses and Dissertations

The present study focuses on developing a relationship between process variables, mechanical properties and post weld microstructure in Friction Stir Welded HSLA 65 steel. Fully consolidated welds can be produced in HSLA 65 steel by PCBN Convex-Scrolled-Shoulder-Step-Spiral (CS4) tool over a wide range of parameters. Microstructures in the nugget center (NC) are dominated by lath bainite and a few polygonal/allotriomorphic grain boundary ferrites. FSW dependent variables are related to FSW independent variables by non-linear relationship. Heat input is identified to be the best parameter index to correlate with microstructures. With increasing heat input, the volume of bainite is reduced, the …
