Quantitative Comparison: Equine Genital Tissues Under Uniaxial Loading
This experimental study characterizes the elastic behavior of male and female equine genital tissues through uniaxial tensile testing, with strain measurements obtained via digital image correlation. Dog-bone-shaped tissue specimens were excised from mares and geldings (n=23 from female tissues and …

Quantitative comparison of nanoleakage among five resin luting agents after aging
Potential problems of one-step adhesives have been identified, including water uptake and subsequent plasticization, water-and enzyme-induced nanoleakage, and the presence of voids due to phase-separation or osmosis. Clinically, adhesive failures due to marginal degradation present as retention …

Quantitative Comparison of Benthic Habitat Maps Derived From Multibeam Echosounder Backscatter Data
… there is a need for generalized efforts of comparison of systems, data products, and mapping approaches, in order to assess the most effective ones given mapping objectives and environment conditions. The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to this effort through the development and …

Quantitative comparison of functional MRI and electro-cortical stimulation for function mapping
Mappinlg functional areas of the brain is of vital importance for plallnning tumor resectiol. A accurate mapping provides information to leurosurgeons about which areas of the brain are eloquent, and should be avoided while removinlg the tumor. With the recent increase in the use of functional MRI …

A quantitative comparison of the fill density of MTA produced by two different placement techniques.
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively compare the fill density of MTA produced by hand condensation and hand condensation with indirect ultrasonic activation. Thirty acrylic block with 30 degree curved canals (group C) and 30 with straight canals (group S) were instrumented to a final …

Quantitative Comparison of Seismic Velocity Tomography With Seismic Activity Around a Deep Coal Longwall Panel
… from the previous 24 hours. The aim of this comparison is to provide a link between high velocities and seismic activity that could potentially be used to forecast future seismic activity. The comparison is completed both qualitatively through the use of a visual analysis, and quantitatively …

A Quantitative Comparison of the Evaluative Criteria Employed By Participants and Critic-Judges in Intercollegiate Debate
At the conclusion of a debate tournament debaters and coaches inevitably ponder over the collection of ballots from the weekend's activity, and it is not at all unusual for many debaters to be perplexed by one or more of the decisions rendered by their critic-judges. A number of coaches account for …

A Quantitative Comparison of the Reading Achievement of English Learners in Dual Language and Transitional Bilingual Programs
… this archival comparative study was to conduct a quantitative comparison of the English reading achievement of third grade ELs enrolled in dual language education (DLE) programs to those enrolled in transitional bilingual education (TBE) programs in order to determine which program is more …

A quantitative comparison of the Howiesons Poort lithic assemblage from Kathu Pan 6 in the Northern Cape with other Howiesons Poort assemblages in Southern Africa
… across geographic space. In my research I quantitatively compare data from published HP assemblages found in various coastal rock and cave sites in southern Africa to the HP sequence found in Kathu Pan 6 (KP6), an inland open-air site in the Northern Cape. The results of this quantitative …

Palynology of the Springfield Coal of the Illinois Basin (Middle Pennsylvanian) with quantitative comparison of spore floras and coal-ball peats and implications for paleoecological studies
… Illinois Basin were analysed to determine how quantitative spore floras can be used in paleoecological interpretations of Pennsylvanian-age coals. Laterally extensive sampling of spore profiles also was designed to evaluate lateral and vertical floristic variation related to proximity to …

Construction of a Multi-Dimensional Lagrangian Hydrodynamics Model of a Plasma Using the Lie Group Theory of Point Transformations
… to demonstrate an application of the equations. Comparison of the results produced by the code using the conservation law governing equations with previous work is limited to qualitative comparison since differences in the numerical input and graphics software make direct quantitative comparison …

Thermoelectric Magnetohydrodynamic and Thermocapillary Driven Flows of Liquid Conductors in Magnetic Fields
… by series of qualitative experiments, as well as quantitative comparison with theoretical flow predictions. This constitutes the first direct observation of TEMHD driven flow yet reported in the literature. Application of the developed theory indicates liquid lithium fusion systems will operate in …
