Leaching assessment of red mud and phosphogypsum for beneficial use as construction materials
(2009-12-10)
Beneficial use involves the application of a secondary material from an industrial process, which otherwise may be considered a potentially hazardous waste, as a building block in another process. The application is ...
Pathway Approach to Decoding Multiple Sclerosis
(2009-12-07)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized as a neurodegenerative autoimmune disease. This clinically complex disease has provided great challenges for geneticists over the years. With the advent of genome-wide association ...
Backscattering Interferometry as a Diagnostic Tool
(2009-12-10)
Initial studies on the development of diagnostic applications for backscattering interferometry (BSI) are presented. Backscattering interferometry (BSI) is a label-free technique developed by the Bornhop laboratory which ...
Effect of MAPK inhibition on cell cycle regulation of thymidine kinase 1 and [18F]-FLT PET
(2009-12-14)
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using the radiotracer 3’-deoxy-3’-[18F]fluorothymidine ([18F]-FLT) has shown potential as a biomarker of proliferation in tumors. [18F]-FLT measures the activity of thymidine ...
The Effectiveness Of Comparing Correct and Incorrect Examples for Learning About Decimal Magnitude
(2009-12-10)
Comparing common mathematical errors to correct examples may help people overcome misconceptions. We examined whether comparing incorrect and correct examples was more effective than comparing two correct examples for ...
Evaluation of Moving Least Squares as a Technique for Non-Rigid Medical Image Registration
(2009-01-12)
Abstract
This thesis evaluates the performance of two non-rigid image registration techniques. The Moving Least Squares (MLS) technique is compared to the widely used Thin-plate Spline (TPS) method. Both methods interpolate ...

Implications of atmospheric neutrino data
(2009-01-02)
A new quantitative and numerically efficient model of the most recent, more finely
binned in energy, Super Kamiokande experiment is developed. By reproducing
an analysis of this data performed by the experimentalist, ...
Electro-osmotic Pumping and Ionic Conductance Measurements in Porous Membranes
(2009-12-07)
Electro-osmotic (EO) pumps directly convert electrical energy into fluids’ kinetic energy, which have many advantages such as a simple and compact structure, no mechanical moving parts, and easy integration. In general, ...
Placebos of Development: A Critique of Modern Health Objectivity in Kant, Marx, and Psychoanalysis
(2009-12-16)
In my dissertation, I critically examine the relationship between health, development, and the unconscious conditions of our symbolic use of objects of value. If we look at the average biomedical and cognitive-behavioral ...
