Targeting of specific developmental pathways to understand dendritic cell heterogeneity and function
… by their expression of the surface molecule Esam. Deletion of Notch2 in dendritic cells also led to the specific loss of CD103CD11b DCs from the lamina propria of the intestine and a corresponding reduction in IL-17-producing T cells. Throughout these studies, the identification of specific …

Diagnostic Checking, Time Series and Regression
In this thesis, a new univariate-multivariate portmanteau test is derived. The proposed test statistic can be used for diagnostic checking ARMA, VAR, FGN, GARCH, and TAR time series models as well as for checking randomness of series and goodness-of- fit VAR models with stable Paretian errors. The …

Static and Dynamic Response of Elastic Skeletal Structures using an Enhanced Beam Element
The use of conventional beam elements in the stiffness method of analysis is investigated to identify deficiencies associated with their use in static, dynamic and buckling analyses.<br/><br/>A new procedure is proposed to overcome these deficiencies using a recently developed element. This element …

Distributed Turbo Product Coding Techniques Over Cooperative Communication Systems
In this dissertation, we propose a coded cooperative communications framework based on Distributed Turbo Product Code (DTPC). The system uses linear block Extended Bose-Chaudhuri-Hochquenghem (EBCH) codes as component codes. The source broadcasts the EBCH coded frames to the destination and nearby …

Electron impact excitation-ionization of molecules
<p>"In the last few decades, the study of atomic collisions by electron-impact has made significant advances. The most difficult case to study is electron impact ionization of molecules for which many approximations have to be made and the validity of these approximations can only be checked by …

Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Performance-Engineered Stress Relief Courses in Nevada
Asphalt Concrete (AC) overlay is one of the most common technique used by Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) to maintain and repair aged and deteriorated flexible pavements in Nevada. A major challenge associated with overlays is the reflection of the cracks from the underlying pavement due …

A Nacreous Self-Assembled Nanolaminate for Corrosion Resistance on 2024-Al Alloy
Nanometer thick layers of clay and polymer were formed on mica, silicon, and aluminum 2024-T3 alloy using alternating solutions of positively and negatively charged polymer and clay, respectively. Atomic force microscopy was used to observe the morphology of the composite films on mica and silicon. …
