Revisiting aryl N-methylcarbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as potential insecticides to combat the malaria-transmitting mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
… stand out: First, we applied the methods of Tanaka to prepare 3-tert-alkylphenols wherein a methyl group was replaced by a trifluoromethyl group. Second, we adapted the methods of Tanaka to prepare 3-tert-alkylphenols that lack fluorine substitution. This method is competitive with the little …

Peridynamic Investigation of Stress-Strain Response and Fracture Behavior Variations in Micro-CT Images of Mock Energetic Nanocomposites
… effective stiffnesses were compared to the Mori-Tanaka approach for effective material property estimation, and the results were broadly consistent with the Mori-Tanaka solution. Damage-enabled cases were also conducted, and the results from the y-direction cases revealed unique characteristics …

Infinitely Many Solutions to Asymmetric, Polyharmonic Dirichlet Problems
… perturbation, and the variational principle of Tanaka on the existence of critical points of large augmented Morse index. In chapter 3 we use the framework created by Birman and Solomyak for deriving eigenvalue estimates to find alternatives of the CLR inequality specifically designed for our …

A Micromechanics Study on Ferroelectrics and Multiferroic Composites
… the two-phase ferroelectric composites, the Mori-Tanaka Method can be applied to analyze and solve the overall effective electro-mechanical coupling behavior of the system. We demonstrate how the overall nonlinear effective physical properties depend on the phase volume concentration and …

Encounters between theory and practice: Semiotic and pragmatic principles in advertising
… Williamson (1978), Myers (1994), Cook (2001) and Tanaka (1994). Marketing scholars, including Brierley (2002) and Beaseley (in Beaseley & Danesi, 2002) show a reciprocal interest in the potential for semiotics to advance their discipline, but there is no apparent awareness of theories of …
