Incipient Motion Under Shallow Flow Conditions
… Shields diagram cannot be used to predict the incipient motion of coarse sediment particles when the relative depth is below 10 and the Froude number is above 0.5, approximately. Experiments using glass balls, whose density is almost identical to that of natural gravel, show that the Shields …

Qualitative health monitoring and incipient damage inspection/evaluation
… above 100kHz), which enables it to detect incipient type damage in a localized region. The localized sensing region offers the advantage of not being affected by nonnal operating conditions or by changing boundary conditions. In this thesis, a complete theoretical background on the …

Consumer Mutations: Mediated Subjectivities of the Incipient Digital Age
<p>In this dissertation, I argue that out of postmodernity, subjectivity has seen distinct mutations inflected by consumer technology. As postmodern mediators of ordinary people, reality TV, Facebook, and YouTube are steeped in concerns about authenticity. Reality TV, for example, cannot escape its …

Efficacy of Curodont in Managing Incipient Caries in Primary Teeth
… peptide (Curodont Repair) to remineralize incipient enamel caries lesions in primary teeth. Methods: Caries-free primary molars were sectioned into enamel specimens (n=32), inoculated with Streptococcus mutans, and subjected to repetitive sucrose challenges for 7 days to create white spot …

Incipient motion of mixed sediment load on the Rio Chama
… of this study were to spatially evaluate incipient motion of sediments for environmental flows and to determine the flow required to mobilize the channel bed. To accomplish the objective, topographic data collected at the Archuleta and Cebolla sites was used to develop a 2-D mesh in …

Incipient Speciation in Freshwater Fish Species from Two Isolated Watersheds
… research was to decipher if there is evidence of incipient speciation between freshwater fish populations that reside in two isolated river systems: the Bronx and Saw Mill Rivers that have been separated since the Wisconsin glaciation approximately 17,500 years ago. Both rivers contain many of the …

Incipient continental rifting: insights from the Okavango Rift Zone, northwestern Botswana
"In this dissertation aeromagnetic, gravity, and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM) data from the Okavango Rift Zone in northwest Botswana are used to map the distribution of rift and basement structures. The distribution of these structures provide useful insights …

W.E.B. Du Bois and the Rhetoric of Social Change, 1897-1907: Attitude as Incipient Action
This study examines the social change rhetoric of scholar and civic activist W.E.B. Du Bois to understand the role, motivations, influences, and shortcomings of his message upon a shifting current of black thought during the late ninetieth and early twentieth-century. In this study, I focus upon Du …
