Rate Base Regulation
… paper is the investigation and analysis of rate base regulation as applied to the traditional public utilities (i.e. electric, gas and water distribution, communications and transportation). | This will be accomplished by first discussing the public utility concept and its development in the …

Biological response to 8-oxoguanine base released during DNA base excision repair
… due to guanine’s susceptibility to oxidation. A base excision repair pathway initiated by 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) excises 8-oxo-Gua lesions from nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, releasing the free oxidized base. It is well-established that failure to repair 8-oxo-Gua can result in …

Improving base metal electrowinning
<p>"In zinc electrowinning, Mn oxidizes to form MnO<sub>2</sub> on Pb-Ag anodes, cell walls and pipes. MnO<sub>2</sub> reduces anode corrosion but also leads to short circuits and maintenance issues. MnO<sub>2</sub> is thought to interact with chloride ions and produce oxidized chlorine species. …

Base isolation case study
… of the current code, ASCE 7-05 into the base isolation design and the analysis of base isolation response due to seismic forces. An eight story irregular structure is modeled using SAP2000 structural program. The time history of Northridge earthquake is used as a seismic forcing function …

Seismic Performance Comparison of a Fixed-Base Versus a Base-Isolated Office Building
<p>The topic of this thesis is base isolation. The purpose of this thesis is to offer a relative understanding of the seismic performance enhancements that a typical 12-story steel office building can achieve through the implementation of base isolation technology. To reach this understanding, the …

Varieties of base contestation: anti-U.S. base protests in South Korea and Japan
Why do some American military bases become a lightning rod for protests in overseas host communities, while others hardly make headlines? While some American bases seem to be embraced by most local residents, others are a magnet for anti-American sentiments, even as they produce negative and …

Phonetics Information Base and Lexicon
… of whether more sophisticated, knowledge-based approaches to data modeling, coupled with a broad cross-linguistic data set, can extend previous typological observations and provide new ways of querying segment inventories. The model that I implement facilitates testing typological …

Base selection in analogical planning
… addresses the problem of efficiently selecting base cases for problem-solving analogies. The base selection task is one of the most severe limitations in current analogical reasoning systems, because of the complexity of the task and the ill-defined nature of the problem. This research addresses …

Study of base isolation systems
… issues concerning the conceptual design of base isolated structures. A 90 feet high, 6 stories tall, moment steel frame structure with tension cross bracing is used to compare the response of both fixed base and base isolated schemes to severe earthquake excitations. Techniques for modeling …

Irradiation-induced nanoclusters and their evolution in compound forming ni-base and cu-base alloys
Nanostructured alloys with finely dispersed precipitates are actively studied for designing materials tolerant to irradiation at high temperatures. The challenge is that nanostructures will often coarsen under elevated temperature irradiation or annealing, owing in part to radiation-enhanced …

Military Base Closure and Community Transformation: The Case of England Air Force Base in Central Louisiana
Closing England Air Force Base (AFB) emerged as a possibility following the first Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) round in 1988. The central Louisiana community responded with a dual strategy: defense, implemented by a highly visible group of mostly elected officials who fought to save the …

Removal of zinc from a base-metal solution using ion exchange at Rustenburg Base Metal Refiners.
… necessitated an expansion in the Rustenburg Base Metal Refinery (RBMR) to accommodate the associated increase in the production of base metals (Cu, Ni, and Co). RBMR’s name plate capacity increased from 21 000 to 33 000 tonnes of nickel per annum. The expansion project involved various …

FREE-BASE PORPHYRIN FOR CO2 ACTIVATION
Chapter I: Introduction The human influence in the raise of the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide registered in the last decades up to the actual alarming situation is clear. The most evident consequence is the global warming, but this is only one of the problems correlated to emissions …

The Choreography of Base Excision Repair
… human cells utilize DNA repair pathways such as base excision repair (BER). BER is carried out by a series of DNA repair proteins that function in a step-by-step process to identify, remove, and replace a damaged nucleotide. BER is critical to genome stability and cell survival, but unfortunately …
