Zoometric Measures In Llamas (Lama Glama) Of Rural Families In The T'Olar And Pajonal Natural Grazing Fields Of The Municipality Santiago De Machaca - Department Of La Paz, Eloy Tuco Cano Jan 2009

Zoometric Measures In Llamas (Lama Glama) Of Rural Families In The T'Olar And Pajonal Natural Grazing Fields Of The Municipality Santiago De Machaca - Department Of La Paz, Eloy Tuco Cano

Theses and Dissertations

Llamas have provided, and continue to provide, fiber, meat, skins, fertilizer and transport for the Andean people. In addition, they are part of the traditional and religious culture of the Aymara and the Quechua. Both are currently unaware of the productive qualities of llamas, especially those related to meat production, which is the principle product responsible for generating greater income for farmers. For this reason, 554 llamas were evaluated from a total of 3,693 in 2005. The llamas came from T’olar and Pajonal grasslands in the Santiago de Machaca region of La Paz, Bolivia and represented males and females from …

An Infrared Imaging Method For High-Throughput Combinatorial Investigation Of Hydrogenation-Dehydrogenation And New Phase Formation Of Thin Films, H. Oguchi, Jason R. Hattrick-Simpers, I. Takeuchi, E. J. Heilweil, L. A. Bendersky Jan 2009

An Infrared Imaging Method For High-Throughput Combinatorial Investigation Of Hydrogenation-Dehydrogenation And New Phase Formation Of Thin Films, H. Oguchi, Jason R. Hattrick-Simpers, I. Takeuchi, E. J. Heilweil, L. A. Bendersky

Faculty Publications

We have developed an infrared imaging setup enabling in situ infrared images to be acquired, and expanded on capabilities of an infrared imaging as a high-throughput screening technique, determination of a critical thickness of a Pd capping layer which significantly blocks infrared emission from below, enhancement of sensitivity to hydrogenation and dehydrogenation by normalizing raw infrared intensity of a Mg thin film to an inert reference, rapid and systematic screening of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation properties of a Mg–Ni composition spread covered by a thickness gradient Pd capping layer, and detection of formation of a Mg2Si phase in a …

A Man’S Right To Choose His Surname In Marriage: A Proposal, Michael Mahoney Frandina Jan 2009

A Man’S Right To Choose His Surname In Marriage: A Proposal, Michael Mahoney Frandina

Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy

[...] a brief history of marital and naming practices will outline how these two concepts have shifted to a primarily private issue today, as compared with the Middle Ages, when they were primarily public issues highly concerned with property matters. [...] naming involves important issues in the construction of one's identity.

A Trellis-Coded Modulation Scheme With A Novel Expanded 16-Dimensional Constant Envelope Q2psk Constellation, Milton I. Quinteros, Edit J. Kaminsky, Kenneth V. Cartwright Jan 2009

A Trellis-Coded Modulation Scheme With A Novel Expanded 16-Dimensional Constant Envelope Q2psk Constellation, Milton I. Quinteros, Edit J. Kaminsky, Kenneth V. Cartwright

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper presents a TCM scheme that uses a new expanded 16-Dimensional Constant Envelope Q2PSK constellation along with a simple convolutional encoder of rate 2/3. An effective gain of 2.67 dB over uncoded CEQ2PSK is achievable with low complexity, and without suffering from constellation expansion penalty. Larger coding gains are easily achieved with encoders of higher rates. In addition, an optimal hardware implementation of the required decoders is described.

An Experimental And Analytical Study Of Graded Materials Under Thermo-Mechanical Dynamic Loading, Addis Asmelash Kidane Jan 2009

An Experimental And Analytical Study Of Graded Materials Under Thermo-Mechanical Dynamic Loading, Addis Asmelash Kidane

Open Access Dissertations

A fundamental study is conducted to evaluate dynamic fracture and failure in functionally graded materials (FGM) at room and high temperatures. Asymptotic analysis in conjunction with displacement potentials is used to develop thermo-mechanical stress fields for a mixed mode propagating crack in homogenous and FGMs. First, asymptotic temperature fields are derived for an exponential variation of thermal conductivity and later these temperature fields are used in deriving stress fields. Using asymptotic thermo-mechanical stress fields the variation of maximum shear stress, circumferential stress and strain energy density as a function of temperature around the crack-tip are generated. Finally, utilizing the minimum …

Conversion Efficiency Calculations For Euv Radiation Emitted From Laser-Produced Tin Plasmas, Betül Atalay, Necla Kenar, Ari̇f Demi̇r Jan 2009

Conversion Efficiency Calculations For Euv Radiation Emitted From Laser-Produced Tin Plasmas, Betül Atalay, Necla Kenar, Ari̇f Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Ni-like and Co-like EUV radiation between 11--17 nm emitted from laser produced tin plasmas was modelled by using the hydrodynamic/atomic physics code EHYBRID. The atomic data were obtained using the Cowan code. The effects of driving laser pulse duration and the laser intensity with different wavelengths were investigated. The maximum conversion efficiency was calculated as 13.4% for a 266 nm Nd:YAG laser with 1 \times 10^{13} W/cm^2 pulse intensity and 5 ns pulse duration.

Better, Faster, Stronger: Integrating Archives Processing And Technical Services, Gregory C. Colati, Katherine M. Crowe, Elizabeth S. Meagher

University Libraries: Faculty Scholarship

The University of Denver’s Penrose Library implemented a consolidated cataloging and archives processing unit for all materials, taking advantage of the structure, workflow design, and staff resources that were already in place for library-wide materials processing: acquisitions, cataloging, binding, and stacks maintenance. The objective of Penrose Library’s integrated approach was to efficiently create metadata that allow searches based on subject relevance rather than on collection provenance. The library streamlined archives processing by integrating digital content creation and management into the materials processing workflow. The result is a flexible, sustainable, and scalable model for archives processing that utilizes existing staff by …

The Impact Of Perceived Barriers To Export: An Analysis Of Kentucky Agricultural And Food Processing Firms, Kelly A. Davidson Jan 2009

The Impact Of Perceived Barriers To Export: An Analysis Of Kentucky Agricultural And Food Processing Firms, Kelly A. Davidson

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

As intra-industry trade increases in U.S. agricultural and food processing industries, the historical agricultural trade surplus is tightening. In efforts to maintain the trade surplus a focus has shifted towards the promotion of agricultural and processed food exports among small and medium sized firms. This study intends to identify and evaluate the potential for exports among small to medium sized agricultural and food processing firms in Kentucky through a collection of survey data. The objectives of this thesis are to identify the state’s product marketing opportunities and product specifications for international exports while identifying transaction requirements for potential exports. An …
