Empirical Mass Balance Calibration Of Analytical Hydrograph Separation Techniques Using Electrical Conductivity, Joseph A. Cimino

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Analytical baseflow separation techniques such as those used in the automated hydrograph separation program HYSEP rely on a single input parameter that defines the period of time after which surface runoff ceases and all streamflow is considered baseflow. In HYSEP, this input parameter is solely a function of drainage basin contributing area. This method cannot be applied universally since in most regions the time of surface runoff cessation is a function of a number of different hydrologic and hydrogeologic basin characteristics, not just contributing drainage area.

This study demonstrates that streamflow conductivity can be used as a natural tracer that …

Characterization And Correlation Analysis Of Pharmaceutical Gelatin, Pascal Georges Felix

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The properties of the aged gel and subsequent softgels were examined using mechanical and chemical testing methods. Our hypothesis was that a negligible variation will exist between the aged gel of the same type. The greater difference is expected to be seen between the types of gels described as 150 Bloom (alkaline treated collagen) and 195 Bloom (acid treated collagen).

The types of gelatin used were the acid processed (195 Acid Bone) and alkaline processed (150 Lime Bone). Because of the differences expressed as the result of their manufacture sequence (namely their molecular weights), it follows that physical attributes will …

N-Thiolated Β-Lactams: Chemistry And Biology Of A Novel Class Of Antimicrobial Agents For Mrsa, Timothy E. Long

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

N-Methylthio beta-lactams represent a promising new family of antibacterial agents whose in vitro activity is confined largely to Staphylococcus species, including multidrug-resistant forms of S. aureus. Originally developed in the 1980's for use as synthetic intermediates, N-methylthio beta-lactams have recently been shown in these laboratories to possess intriguing biological properties which are addressed in Chapters I-IV. In terms of the antibacterial activities, the structural features and species specificities exhibited by these compounds are unlike those of any existing family of beta-lactam drugs. The lactams seem to exert their effects intracellularly, requiring passage of the bioactive species through the …

Design And Construction Of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactor And Directed Assembly Of Carbon Nanotubes, Joshua David Schumacher

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The goals of this research project were the design and construction of a carbon nanotube (CNT) reactor based on the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) principle and the development of a method for directed assembly of CNTs by catalyst patterning. PECVD was selected as the growth method due to the requirement of a catalyst for the growth process, thereby facilitating directed assembly and controlled diameter CNT growth at well-defined locations.

The reactor was built in accord with horizontal flow design using standard ultra high vacuum components. The controllable parameters of the reactor include sample temperature, DC plasma intensity, chamber …

Reaffirm To Affirm: Enhancing Minority Faculty Development At The Pwi , Johnny D. Jones Ii, Willie J. Heggins Iii, Michelle Williams

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 8th Annual National Conference (2003)

The objective of this roundtable discussion is to examine the preparation of minority faculty as it relates to succeeding in an academic career. Although substantial research has been conducted on faculty preparation (Gaff, 1997; Garcia, 2000, Tice, Gaff, and Pruitt-Logan, 1998), conversations fall short when it comes to ongoing success development of faculty. This discussion will focus primarily on initiatives/plans to encourage the expansion and success of minority faculty at PWI's. For the purposes of this discussion, minority faculty is defined in terms of race/ethnic and gender.

Exploring Ethnic Studies As A Model In Advancing A Multi¬Faceted, Multi-Cultural Academic Curriculum, Without Losing Specific Ethnic Identity Significance, Ravi Kumar Perry

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 8th Annual National Conference (2003)

Using the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor as a case study this project highlights the 'usefulness' of race and ethnic courses in terms of factual evidence presentation from faculty-student relationships in the classroom and the broader influence in the corresponding ethnic communities. Therefore, while many predominantly white institutions of higher learning may offer a variety of courses that pertain to race and ethnic issues, like the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science and the Arts (LSA) Race and Ethnicity requirement, many institutions do not necessarily require a discussion concerning the relations among such ethnic groups in a historical, political, current, …

Pimps, Thugs And College Students; A Glimpse Into Hip Hop And Higher Education, Ricardo Hall, Bryant K. Smith

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 8th Annual National Conference (2003)

The globalization of hip-hop culture has created opportunities and challenges for students of color attending predominately White institutions. Overexposure to urban culture through music, fashion, movies, etc. combined with limited interaction with urban youth has created volatile and in some cases hostile environments on predominately White campuses. This workshop examines what happens when myth and reality meet in the halls of academia.
