The prediction of the outermost trajectory of media in a grinding mill for lifter bars with rounded or worn profiles
This thesis presents the analysis of the path of a ball on the inside of a ball mill for lifter bars with rounded or worn profiles. The model predicts the response of a single ball with particular reference to the balls trajectory after departure from the lifter bar and incorporates the effect of …

How political decentralization in the outermost regions of the European Union lead to their economic success in the securing of structural funds
The Outermost Regions are among the EU’s least developed regions. As a result, European policy-making towards them are often catered to their realities as stated in EU treaties and Commission Communications. Despite EU recognition of their socio-economic challenges, their levels of socio-economic …

Pathological meprin alpha expression as a driver of inflammatory skin disease
The skin is the largest organ and the body’s outermost barrier, with the epidermis as its outermost layer. The epidermis consists of distinct layers composed of keratinocytes at different stages of terminal differentiation. This process is orchestrated by a network of epidermal proteases, which …

Magnetic vector potential based formulation and computation of nonlinear three dimensional magnetostatic fields and forces in electrical devices by finite elements
… Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on the outermost surfaces of the volume considered, yield practically the same result, as when the Neumman boundary conditions were imposed on such surfaces. This result is of a considerable significance, from a practical standpoint, since the imposition …

Surface analysis of a black coating from Little Lost River
… spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize the outermost surface of the black coating to understand how it was formed. Carbon and oxygen predominated in the XP spectra, whereas nitrogen was detected at varying levels in different samples. High-resolution carbon 1s XP spectra showed that carbon …

Traces of a Spatial Relic: Encountering the Observation Bunker of Heuqueville
… an Observation Bunker located at the outermost edge of the town of Heuqueville. The act of discovering, exploring, and dwelling on the fortification in its current state was recreated and isolated in a digital experience, that when used in addition to traditional methods of …

Complex Crustal Stratification Within the Chugach Mountains, Southern Alaska
… difficult given the heterogeneity of the earth's outermost layer. The western termination of the Chugach metamorphic complex in southern Alaska includes a uniquely well exposed crustal section ideal for obtaining the vertical profile of a crustal section. Field studies in this area resulted in the …

A computational model for transdermal diffusion of lidocaine and tetracaine topical patches
… of stratum corneum (SC) which is the outermost layer of the human skin. The objective of this thesis is to build a Finite Element (FE) model, utilizing commercial FE software (ANSYS), that can be implemented to estimate parameters of diffusion as well as common diffusion cell …

Structural and Molecular Mechanisms of Centrosome Assembly and Strength
The outermost layer of centrosomes, called pericentriolar material (PCM), organizes microtubules for mitotic spindle assembly. The molecular interactions that enable PCM to assemble and resist external forces are poorly understood. To answer such question, we use cross-linking mass spectrometry …

UTILIZING A HIGH-RESOLUTION CFD-BASED MODEL TO REPLICATE THE BURNING OF A TWO-STORY STRUCTURE IN THE MAUI WILDFIRE
… suggests that the emissivity of a structure’s outermost layer is the primary source of uncertainty in model results.

Mode II fracture mechanics of moso bamboo for application in novel engineering materials
… include the pith (innermost layer) and cortex (outermost layer) of the bamboo culm in their calculations. The resulting value is, to a statistically significant degree (t = 5.0 x 10⁶), higher than that with the pith and cortex removed, as they typically will be in processing SBP. A new value, …

Electronic excited states in quasi- one- dimensional organic solids with strong coupling of Frenkel and charge-transfer excitons
… of the surface states is localized at the outermost molecules. The corresponding decay length is exclusively determined by the parameterization of the coupling and is independent of the system size. It can therefore be assigned as a characteristic quantum length which plays a vital role for …

The Lipid-Facing M4 Helix of α4β2 nACh and 5-HT3A Receptors
… diseases arising from dysregulated pLGICs. The outermost lipid-facing transmembrane helix (M4) and the lipids surrounding it have recently emerged as important factors in pLGIC function. To investigate the role of the M4 helix in cation-selective mammalian pLGICs, I studied the effects of …

"There is a place where the dreams live" : portrayals of the South Sea in German language tourist brochures
… paradise. This Fernweh dream occupies the outermost margin of eurocentric symbolic and geographic imagination. My analysis confirms the identity strengthening elements of ritual, myth and utopia as being core symbols of Central European holiday culture. For South Pacific service cultures, I …

Shade or light? : size class distribution and δ¹³C values as clues to the recruiting environment of Widdringtonia whytei
… cores and the δ¹³Cvalues for the innermost and outermost wood were compared for two sites. Size class :frequency distributions had a tendency to be normally distributed but one site showed skewed values towards seedling and another showed a flat distribution, possibly due to continual logging of …

Effects of tendon viscoelasticity on the distribution of forces across sutures in a model tendon-to-bone repair
… resulted in concentrated force, typically in the outermost sutures. The mathematical framework provides a foundation for optimizing suturing strategies, and results underscore the importance of accounting for viscoelastic effects in the design of tendon to bone repairs.</p>

Microfabrication of silicon tips for scanning probe microscopy
… a multilayer Si/Au/HfO\(-2\)/Au structure. The outermost Au layer is grounded. SPELS spectra of graphite were successfully obtained for the first time. Third, a multilayered tip was fabricated for the Scanning Probe Electron AnalyseR.. This approach is a combination of STM with an ultraviolet …

Porcine rotavirus adsorption to 24 salad vegetables and sanitization by free chlorine
… the physicochemical properties of each produce’s outermost surface layer, known as the epicuticle. The number of rotaviruses found on produce surfaces varied among cultivars. Three-dimensional crystalline wax structures on the epicuticular surfaces were found to significantly contribute to the …

Hardwood whole tree chips: a fuel storage model analysis
… reflecting steep moisture content gradients. The outermost layer became saturated, primarily due to rainfall while spontaneous drying reduced the innermost layer's moisture content. The Total Net Heating Value (TNHV) was found to decrease 1.14 percent per month or 13.7 percent a year. Increased …
