Arabic pro-drop
<p>The goal of this thesis is to analyze pro-drop in Arabic in terms of its syntactic properties and the nature of its optionality in discourse. The paper begins with a comprehensive review of five syntactic properties assumed to be universal to pro-drop languages, and discusses the status of each …

Effects of drop size and drop velocity on cooling characteristics of sprays
The effect of drop size and drop velocity on the cooling characteristics of sprays was investigated in this study. Various line pressures and distances from the nozzle were used to obtain Sauter mean drop sizes between 200 and 300 microns, and velocities between 80 and 130 m/s. Local heat flux data …

A Drop of Oil
Many Christian writers point to God through their fiction without openly evangelizing. The images their words evoke lift their secular and religious readers' heads, for God is reflected in their use of language, the emotions they describe, and the actions of their characters. The preface and short …

Effect of geometric parameters on drop-positioning forces for a levitated drop reactor
… plate and reflector of a single-axis acoustic drop levitator, in order to better understand the dependence of levitation capability on geometric parameters. Modifications to the drop levitator radiating plate are investigated using the BEM. Gor’kov’s theory is used to calculate the acoustic …

Leidenfrost Drop Ratchet Impact Dynamics
A drop deposited on a sufficiently hot substrate generates its own vapor cushion preventing contact with the surface. This vapor layer is responsible for the low friction and long lifetime of the drop. Falling water droplets will even bounce on their own vapor layer. By varying the geometry of a …

Life in a drop of water
The last century of biology brought a revolution to our understanding of life at the molecular level; the last decade, a widening re-evaluation of the claim that understanding gained in vitro could reflect the true complexities in vivo and in situ. I present the results of two projects, one …

Controlling drop coalescence using nano-engineered surfaces
The dynamics of drop coalescence are explored on micro-scale surface features for the first time. Drop coalescence is defined as a process by which two or more droplets, bubbles or particles merge during contact to form a single droplet, bubble or particle. There are two regimes that limit the …

Factors Affecting Preharvest Fruit Drop of Apple
Apple preharvest fruit drop frequently results in severe economic losses. Cultural control of preharvest drop has relied upon plant growth regulators (PGRs), but the loss of daminozide (Alar) and 2,4,5-TP has severely limited the choices of effective stop-drop compounds. A more complete …

Cavitation in Vial Drop Subjected to Mechanical Shock
… can form when a vial of therapeutic solution is dropped onto a hard surface. The process by which this occurs is most likely shock induced cavitation. During this process, hot spots can be created with temperatures and pressures reaching thousands of Kelvin and hundreds of atmospheres, …

“Dropouts” Drop In: Re-Visualizing the “Dropout” Stereotype
<p><em>“Dropouts” Drop In</em> aims to challenge conventional views of both “dropping out” and “dropouts.” When young people “drop out” of high school, they open themselves up to a world of negative assumptions and blame, which are directed at them from the outside and are also deeply internalized. …
