Ionic Liquids: Preparations And Limitations, Ahmad Adlie Shamsuri, Dzulkefly Kuang Abdullah Nov 2010

Ionic Liquids: Preparations And Limitations, Ahmad Adlie Shamsuri, Dzulkefly Kuang Abdullah

Makara Journal of Science

Ionic liquids are considered as an ideal alternative to volatile organic solvents and chemical industries in the future, because they are non-volatile. Ionic liquids are also considered as new novel chemical agents and widely regarded as a greener alternative to many commonly used solvents. Ionic liquids have been studied for a wide range of synthetic applications and have attracted considerable interest for use as electrolytes in the areas of organic synthesis, catalysis, solar cell, fuel cells, electrodeposition and supercapacitors. However, some ionic liquids suffer from more or less some drawbacks such as toxicity, preparation and high cost in the process …

Computation Of Natural Convection In A Porous Parallelogrammic Enclosure With A Magnetic Field, Habibis Saleh, Sri Basriati, Ishak Hashim Nov 2010

Computation Of Natural Convection In A Porous Parallelogrammic Enclosure With A Magnetic Field, Habibis Saleh, Sri Basriati, Ishak Hashim

Makara Journal of Science

Detailed numerical calculations are presented in this paper for natural convection in a porous parallelogrammic enclosure with a magnetic field. The inclined walls are maintained isothermally at different temperatures. The top and bottom horizontal straight walls are kept adiabatic. To simplify the effort in matching the grid mesh with the inclined walls of the parallelogrammic region/geometry, the computational domain is mapped onto a rectangular shape using a non-linear axis transformation. Transport equations are modeled by a stream-vorticity formulation then expressed in the new coordinate system and solved numerically by a finite difference method. Based upon the numerical predictions, we found …

Hospitality And Destination Marketing's Role In Medical Tourism: A Call For Research, Dan Cormany Nov 2010

Hospitality And Destination Marketing's Role In Medical Tourism: A Call For Research, Dan Cormany

Faculty Publications

Like business travel, where the primary focus is on business and travel is the simply the conduit by which it is performed, medical tourism is a growing trend in which individuals journey to foreign countries primarily to secure specific medical procedures or health benefits. The medical tourist is a newly defined segment of the travel industry, and while still small in numbers, is growing rapidly. This paper seeks to identify research questions related to the hospitality elements that contribute to the medical tourism experience. The answers to these may aid hoteliers, tourism operations, and visitor bureaus better understand, service and …

Female Development Amidst Dictatorship In Julia Alvarez's In The Time Of The Butterflies And Mario Vargas Llosa's La Fiesta Del Chivo, Serena Eileen Call Nov 2010

Female Development Amidst Dictatorship In Julia Alvarez's In The Time Of The Butterflies And Mario Vargas Llosa's La Fiesta Del Chivo, Serena Eileen Call

Theses and Dissertations

Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo (ruled 1930-1961) developed the reputation as one of the most violent and oppressive leaders of the Western Hemisphere in his thirty-one years of power. Authors Julia Alvarez and Mario Vargas Llosa provide insight into the effects of Trujillo's infamy by sharing the stories of Dominican women. In Alvarez's novel, In the Time of the Butterflies, the Dominican-American author fictionalizes the lives of the Mirabal sisters, historical women who were assassinated in 1961 for their involvement in the anti-Trujillo movement. Likewise, Vargas Llosa centers much of his novel, La fiesta del Chivo, on the life …


Identification Of A Single-Nucleotide Insertion In The Promoter Region Affecting The Sodc Promoter Activity In Brucella Neotomae, Dina A. Moustafa, Neeta Jain, Nammalwar Sriranganathan, Ramesh Vemulapalli Nov 2010

Identification Of A Single-Nucleotide Insertion In The Promoter Region Affecting The Sodc Promoter Activity In Brucella Neotomae, Dina A. Moustafa, Neeta Jain, Nammalwar Sriranganathan, Ramesh Vemulapalli

Department of Comparative Pathobiology Faculty Publications

Brucella neotomae is not known to be associated with clinical disease in any host species. Previous research suggested that B. neotomae might not express detectable levels of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD), a periplasmic enzyme known to be involved in protecting Brucella from oxidative bactericidal effects of host phagocytes. This study was undertaken to investigate the genetic basis for the disparity in SOD expression in B. neotomae. Our Western blot and SOD enzyme assay analyses indicated that B. neotomae does express SOD, but at a substantially reduced level. Nucleotide sequence analysis of region upstream to the sodC gene identified a single-nucleotide …


A Comparative Analysis Of Parallel Revisionism In The Plays Rabinal Achí And Zoot Suit, Matthew C. Lewis Nov 2010

A Comparative Analysis Of Parallel Revisionism In The Plays Rabinal Achí And Zoot Suit, Matthew C. Lewis

Theses and Dissertations

This study draws parallels between the dramatic works Rabinal Achí­, an anonymous ancient Mayan text, and the Luis Valdez masterpiece Zoot Suit. The parallel that I seek to establish is one of the strong trend of historical revisionism in both works as well as a parallel development of plot and characterization. This work does not claim to be representative of revisionism as a whole, nor does it seek to establish a new official history, but it does to demonstrate how both works, even though they are separated by hundreds of years, share a common bond of subversion and …


Examining The Effects Of Pronunciation Strategy Usage On Pronunciation Gains By L2 Japanese Learners, Seth L. Robins Nov 2010

Examining The Effects Of Pronunciation Strategy Usage On Pronunciation Gains By L2 Japanese Learners, Seth L. Robins

Theses and Dissertations

Language learning strategies have become an important element of second language acquisition research over the course of the last few decades. Much research on these strategies has been dedicated to speaking, reading, and other language skill sets. However, one essential skill needed for communication is pronunciation. No matter how proficient other areas of linguistic ability may be, it can be difficult to interact effectively with native speakers if one's pronunciation is poor. Yet research dedicated to pronunciation and language learning strategies is in surprisingly short supply. Of those studies that have researched pronunciation strategies, some have been dedicated to discovering …

Guide To Woody Plants Of Nebraska, Justin R. Evertson, Kim Todd, David Mooter, Kate Schumacher Nov 2010

Guide To Woody Plants Of Nebraska, Justin R. Evertson, Kim Todd, David Mooter, Kate Schumacher

Nebraska Forest Service: Publications

Species diversity is the cornerstone of a healthy community forest. In an effort to increase species diversity, this publication provides a nearly complete list of woody plants that can be grown in Nebraska communities. Each plant is keyed to the hardiness zone map on this page to show where it will grow best in Nebraska. It should be noted, however, that many plants need extra care and protection to survive certain climates. Conversely, many plants may do well outside of their recommended zone if the proper microclimate exists.


Social Networking In Academic Libraries: The Possibilities And The Concerns, Andrea Dickson, Robert P. Holley Nov 2010

Social Networking In Academic Libraries: The Possibilities And The Concerns, Andrea Dickson, Robert P. Holley

School of Information Sciences Faculty Research Publications

The goal of this article is to examine the use of the major social networking tools in academic libraries in the United States. Since college students are heavy users of social networking, such efforts provide academic libraries with outreach possibilities to students who do not use the physical library. The paper also examines the concerns about their use both from students and within the academic library.
