Time-Dependent Conditional Value-at-Risk Minimization Algorithm for Hazardous Materials Routing
(2012)This thesis project proposes new methods for mitigating risk in hazardous materials (hazmat) transportation, based on Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) measure, on time-dependent vehicular networks. While the CVaR risk ... -
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry studies of cluster ion analysis for semiconductors and diffusion of manganese in gallium arsenide at low temperatures
(2010)Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an established method for the quantitative analysis of dopants in semiconductors. The quasi-parallel mass acquisition of Time-of-Flight SIMS, along with the development of polyatomic ... -
Time-Series Analysis for Watershed Scale Predictions of Water Quantity and Quality Export from Agricultural Watersheds
(2011)Complex hydrological models are widely used to predict overall watershed responses by incorporating knowledge acquired on field or plot scales. However, processes or complexity critical at smaller scales may not necessarily ... -
Time: An Empirical Analysis of Law Student Time Management Deficiencies
(Cincinnati L. Rev., 2013)This Article begins the much needed research on law students’ time famine. Time management complaints begin early in students’ legal education and generally go unresolved. As a result, practicing attorneys identify time ... -
Time: Design for a mausoleum as timeless architecture
(2005)Statement of issue/problem . Cemeteries in the U.S. and throughout the world are becoming very overcrowded with traditional gravesites. Many have become landlocked within growing towns and cities where development has ... -
Tissue Distribution and Cytokine Target Engagement of Therapeutic Proteins
(2017)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriasis (Ps) are chronic inflammatory diseases that affect the life-quality of 1-3% of the population in the United States. Soluble pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-?, IL-1, IL-6, ... -
Tissue engineered models of skin regeneration for the design and evaluation of drug release systems
(2005)The dissertation work presented here outlines the development of biomaterials for the application of drug-delivery matrices in models of skin regeneration in vitro and in vivo. The effects of fibrin hydrogels in two- and ... -
Tissue engineering for cardiovascular regeneration - Stem cells, Biomaterials, and Animal preclinical model
(2012)This thesis addresses some approach for tissue engineering in cardiovascular regeneration. Cell source, biomaterials, ex vivo and in vivo assessment are all discussed step by step. This dissertation provides a good ... -
Tissue engineering of implantable small-diameter blood vessels using fibrin gel as scaffold
(2006)In this work, first we optimize the conditions of fabricating and culturing fibrin gel seeded with smooth muscle cells (SMC) for tissue-engineered blood vessel (TEBV). The microtopology of fibrin matrix is influenced by ... -
Tissue-on-tissue lubricity studies of saliva substitutes as-supplied, mixed with and compared with human saliva from control and xerostomia patients
(2010)Relief is sought from "dry mouth" symptoms in increasingly older populations experiencing side effects from xerostomic drugs, multi-drug interactions, and cancer therapies. This investigation applied a new tissue-on-tissue ... -
TITAN2D simulations of the Chaos Jumbles rockfall avalanche, Lassen Volcanic National Park, California
(2012)Volcanic avalanches represent one of the most hazardous phenomena related to volcanoes, thus their study and their comprehension are necessary for reliable hazard assessments. The Chaos Jumbles avalanche deposit represents ... -
Title: Treadmill Exercise Training Modulates Hepatic Cholesterol Metabolism and Circulating PCSK9 Concentration in High Fat Fed Mice
(2013)Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a novel biomarker of LDL clearance and therapeutic target of cardiovascular disease risk. We examined the effects of aerobic exercise training in modulating PCSK9 ... -
TLR2 Signaling and Th2 Responses Drive Tannerella forsythia -Induced Periodontal Bone Loss
(2013)Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease that is triggered by the colonization and invasion of periodontopathic bacteria, particularly by a select group of Gram-negative anaerobes. Foremost ... -
TNF in the hippocampus: Changes in the levels of this cytokine regulate symptoms of chronic pain and depression
(2010)An increased level of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) has been shown to be involved in the manifestation of both chronic pain and depression with respect to the hippocampus. Previous studies in this lab ... -
To forgive or not to forgive: A longitudinal analysis of the antecedents and consequences of forgiveness
(2006)The goals of the current investigation were twofold. One goal was to provide insight into the factors that either facilitate or impede forgiveness by examining victims' personal beliefs and attitudes about forgiveness in ... -
To have done with finitude: Transnational Mexican narrative after 1968
(2012)In this dissertation, I analyze works by three transnational Mexican novelists: Los detectives salvajes (2000) by Roberto Bolaño, Héroes convocados: manual para tomar el poder (1982) and the Héctor Belascoarán Shayne series ... -
To shrink the confines: Anglophone poetry, political economy and the space of history, 1947-2007
(2013)Less a comprehensive survey than an inquiry into discrete but articulated moments in Anglophone poetry from 1947 to 2007, this dissertation examines the emergence and enduring legacy of Black Mountain Poetry and the British ... -
