(Virginia Tech, 2000-09-22)In this thesis, we present a novel approach for the preservation of trade secrets in a Business-to-Business (B2B) environment that involves trade among competitors. The Web provides a low cost medium for B2B collaborations. ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-05-12)With the advances in VLSI and System-On-Chip (SOC) technology, the complexity of hardware systems has increased manifold. Today, 70% of the design cost is spent in verifying these intricate systems. The two most widely ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-03-11)This thesis topic is focused on the experience of entering and revealing architecture. An entrance is not solely about the physical form of a door, rather it is the beginning of a building; a conversation between public ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-11-05)Carbon/epoxy laminates are receiving greater attention by the infrastructure, marine, and offshore oil industries due to the need for superior performance capabilities. Such applications generally involve subjecting ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-07-06)Reticulitermids were significantly more likely to discover subterranean baits connected by physical guidelines than freestanding baits under both laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory, subterranean termites ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 1990-03-14)Inspired by writings on creativity and by Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, I conducted a series of ten "exercises" -- each of them a guided visualization followed by an opportunity to produce -- with nine- ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-12-08)This thesis presents a unification of kinematic and force-based methods for the design and analysis of planetary gear trains along with a discussion of potential applications in tandem biking. Specifically, this thesis ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2002-05-11)Several techniques for measuring humidity are presented. The goal of the study is to use the electrostatic self-assembled monolayer synthesis process to fabricate a Fabry-Parot Cavity based optical fiber humidity sensor. ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-06-04)Quantification of total phosphorus (TP) loads entering a lake or reservoir is important because phosphorus is most often the limiting nutrient in terms of algae growth, thus phosphorus can control the extent of eutrophication. ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-08-17)To improve the process stability of wastewater treatment plants, the construction of a whole-cell bacterial biosensor is explored to harness the natural stress response of the bacterial cells. The stress response selected ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2012-11-06)The purpose of this research is to evaluate certain performance characteristics of a morphing<br />wing system that uses Macro Fiber Composites (MFC) to create camber change. This<br />thesis can be broken into two major ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-04-23)Preventing impairment of waterbodies requires control, reduction and interception of contaminant losses at the field and subwatershed level. Three specific research objectives were accomplished in this study: 1) compare ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-06-11)A process for disposing of pesticide rinsewater generated from the rinsing of application equipment is being developed at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. This process involves the sorption of pesticides ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-03-28)The melting behavior of polymers can provide information on their crystallization mechanism. However, the origin of the time-dependent low endotherm, or annealing peak, and the extent of melting-recrystallization-remelting ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-01-07)Soluble manganese (Mn) presents a significant treatment challenge to many water utilities, causing aesthetic and operational concerns. Surface water treatment plants using ozonation followed by biofiltration are unable to ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-03-29)Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is a competitive weed in small grain production areas throughout the northwestern and southeastern US. In small grains, Italian ryegrass has generally been controlled with ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-04-25)In an underground coal mine, the measure of a communication system is the coverage area it can provide at a quality that ensures a miner can communicate with other miners in and out of the mine during normal and emergency ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-06-17)Take-all of wheat, caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt ) is a problem wherever wheat is grown. Crop rotation is currently the only method for control. Our objectives were to develop a greenhouse bioassay ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-02-27)EVALUATION OF A MALTODEXTRIN GEL AS A PARTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR FAT IN A HIGH-RATIO WHITE-LAYER CAKE FORMULATION Leslie L. Archilla (ABSTRACT) The performance of a maltodextrin gel as a replacement (25, 50, 75, and 100%) ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-06-27)Although concepts of the XDL intersection or CFI (Continuous Flow Intersection) have been around for approximately four decades, users do not yet have a simplified procedure to evaluate its traffic performance and compare ...
