Self-Assembly, Templation and Biomimetics
… of 1~3 nm sized molecules in one step. Potential multi-generation self-assembly on this subunit is also discussed. A novel and efficient approach for the synthesis of large aromatic crown ethers, using resorcinarenes as templates, has been developed. This simple threestep process generated a new …

Antecedents of the Psychological Adjustment of Children and Grandparent Caregivers in Grandparent-Headed Families
… as compared to grandparents co-parenting in a multi-generation home, skipped generation grandparents (raising their grandchild with no parent present) or single parents. Skipped generation grandparents in particular reported most caregiver aggravation. Child physical health was reported to be …

Can Nintendo get its crown back? : examining the dynamics of the U.S. video game console market
Several generations of video game consoles have competed in the market since 1972. Overall, the entire market shares many similar characteristics, such as network effects and switching cost, which are found in other network-based markets. However, on closer examination, the video game console …

On the coupling of noisy processes in biology to produce functional phenotypic variability
… and time-lapse microscopy we reveal multi-generation RpoS activity pulses are responsible for this heterogeneity. We next show that RpoS and growth have stochastic dynamics and are anti-correlated. With a stochastic simulation of chemical reactions coupled to a deterministic cell …

Cultivation for Generations: A Family Farm House in Blacksburg Virginia
… through the vessel of one design project; a multi-generational family farm house in Blacksburg, Virginia. The relationship between ideas of courtyard and farmyard, as joined and segregated spaces, is one level of exploration. Another is the relationship between such spaces, joined and …

Persuasive strategies of the United States military television recruitment advertising during the all-volunteer force era
… recruitment television advertising with a multi-service branches and multi-generation approaches in the all volunteers force (AVF) era. The analytical framework of this dissertation included the television advertisements that are published by the U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) four …

Development and assessment of renewable energy based integrated systems for dimethyl ether production
… system, dimethyl-ether synthesis system and multi-effect desalination system. Modeling studies and simulations are performed using both Aspen Plus, and Engineering Equation Solver software packages. These three systems are thermodynamically assessed based on energy and exergy efficiencies. …

Modeling and multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic-thermal based multigeneration system
In this thesis, a novel multi generation integrated system is introduced, analyzed and optimized. It consists of GaAs based PV (Photo-Voltaic) arrays connected in series. Light is being concentrated on those arrays using lenses or mirrors. Concentrated light increases the cell temperature …

The Genetic Architecture of Juvenile Migration in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
… temporal process of smoltification in a large multi-generation experimental pedigree (n=16,139) of migratory and resident rainbow trout derived from a wild population, which naturally segregates for migratory propensity. I identify significant additive genetic variance and genetic correlations …

Convective Flow Patterns of a Three Generation Bifurcation Model
… diminishes for the exit flow passing through a multi-generation model. The effect was further diminished when the flow passed out of the initial flow direction plane (out-of-plane). The more bifurcations the flow passed through, the more uniform the exit flow became. While the initial flow …
