Bodies, Identities and Behavioral Choices: How Focusing On the Contextual Factors that Contribute to Swazi University Students' Sex-Related Decisions Could Enhance On-Campus HIC/AIDS Campaigns
<p>In response to their country's high HIV prevalence, Swaziland's government recently produced a report that included a call to create and implement more HIV/AIDS campaigns that specifically target certain segments of the population and certain behaviors that contribute to the perpetuation of the …

High index contrast platform for silicon photonics
… focuses on silicon-based high index contrast (HIC) photonics. In addition to mature fiber optics or low index contrast (LIC) platform, which is often referred to as Planar Lightwave Cirrcuit (PLC) or Silica Optical Bench (SiOB), the use of HIC platform has been attracting considerable attention …

Microstructure Optimization to Prevent Hydrogen-Induced Cracking of API X70 Pipeline Steels in Sour Environments
… cracking (HAC). Hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) is the main cause of pipeline steels failure in sour environments, which is categorized as a type of HAC. In this type of failure, hydrogen atoms accumulate in the steel and cause cracking by different mechanisms. The main focus of this thesis …

Optical studies of photonic crystals and high index-contrast microphotonic circuits
Both high index-contrast (HIC) photonic crystals and HIC microphotonic circuits are presented in this thesis. Studies of macro-scale 2D photonic crystal meta-materials are first described. Through comparison of experimental and theoretical beam evolution about the super-collimation frequencies, the …

Signals of Collectivity in Heavy-Ion Collisions in the Far From Equilibrium Regime
… of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions (HIC), which can be reproduced by theoretical descriptions from a realistically modelled initial stage.<br /><br /> In this thesis we see that it is possible - already by considering a few collisions - to translate anisotropies of the initial stage …

Peptides and Nitrogen-Free Analogs as Substitutes for Dietary Amino Acids: Significance in the Nutriture of Chicks and Rats
Chick and rat bioassays were conducted to establish quantitative efficacy values (slope-ratio procedure) for the D-isomer, the (alpha)-keto analog and the D- and L-(alpha)-hydroxy analogs of phenylalanine (Phe), leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile) and valine (Val). D-Phe was well utilized by both …

Purification of the major envelope protein GP5 of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) from native virions
… linked complex with the membrane protein, M, which also possesses immunogenic properties. Recent studies report that the GP5/M complex is a more significant vaccine candidate. Currently, no bulk purification methods have been reported for PRRSV proteins. The objective of this research was to …

Theory and design of high-index-contrast microphotonic circuits
… the design of efficient high-index-contrast (HIC) microphotonic components and set theoretical bounds for their capabilities. They take into account new, coupling induced resonance-frequency shifting and parasitic loss effects. Based on microring resonators and HIC silicon and silicon nitride …

Jesus Caesar : a Roman reading of John 18:28 - 19:22
… a Roman perspective, seems sufficiently close to hic vir, hic est from Vergil’s Aeneid (6.791) to mark it as a literary allusion. An exegetical analysis of John 18:28—19:22, the passages most imprinted with Latin words and Roman concepts, reveals a Roman Pilate who tests the loyalty of both Jesus …

Head impact characterization of generic A-pillar of an automobile
… on the upper interior components of the vehicle. To evaluate the head impact protection of the interior components, NHTSA introduced a performance criterion called as HIC(d) and specified it to not exceed 1000 as a result of the head impact.;Meeting these new head impact requirements while …
