Studies In Free Module And It's Basis, Hsu-Chia Chen Jan 2008

Studies In Free Module And It's Basis, Hsu-Chia Chen

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this project was to study some basic properties of free modules over a ring. A module with a basis is called a free module and a free module over a division ring (or field) is called a vector space. We show every vector has a basis and any two bases of a vector space have same cardinality. However, a free module over an arbitrary ring (with identity) does not have this property.

Comparative Osteohistology Of Hyperelongate Neural Spines In Basal Synapsids (Vertebrata, Amniota): Growth And Mechanical Considerations, Adam Keith Huttenlocker Jan 2008

Comparative Osteohistology Of Hyperelongate Neural Spines In Basal Synapsids (Vertebrata, Amniota): Growth And Mechanical Considerations, Adam Keith Huttenlocker

Theses Digitization Project

Basal synapsids comprise one of the best represented groups of early tetrapods and demonstrate a classic example of a macroevolutionary transition. The basal synapsid fossil record is of significant interest to paleontolists because it presents an excellent opportunity for studying the evolution of vertebrate morphology. In the present study, neural spine osteohistology is further examined across a broad range of basal synapsid genera with hyperlongate neural spines. Due to the limited availability of specimens and the comparative approach required for destructive analysis, the present study is divided into two major comparative investigations: analysis of hyperlongate neural spine in (1) Spenacodontidae …
