Wrapping CAM mechanisms
This dissertation is a treatise on “wrapping cam mechanisms.” This intriguing mechanism is composed of a cam wrapped by a belt, chain, or other flexible follower. Such devices have also been referred to as band mechanisms. The flexible follower is assumed to be constrained such that there is no …

Effect of Delayed Wrapping and Wrapping Source on Intake and Digestibility of Alfalfa Silage in Gestating Sheep
… to investigate the effects of two different wrapping sources and time intervals between baling and wrapping on intake and digestibility of alfalfa silage. The second objective was to assess the correlation of alfalfa silage fermentation parameters with intake and digestibility parameters in …

Computer-assisted synthesis of wrapping cam mechanisms
A wrapping cam mechanism consists of a cam wrapped by a belt or flexible band. An analytical method for synthesizing wrapping cam mechanisms has recently been developed. This thesis extends the previous work and describes the development of an interactive wrapping cam synthesis package based on …

A taxonomy and analysis of web wrapping technologies
Web wrapping technologies were developed in the 90s in the middle of the dot com boom to facilitate the extraction of web data. In recent years, the underlying architecture of web wrapping technologies is also been used for other applications such as information integration between legacy systems …

Comparative modeling of mainly-beta proteins by profile wrapping
… supersecondary structural template. This wrapping procedure may capture folding processes that have al initiation stage' followed by processive, interaction between the unfolded region and the already-formed substructure. This wrap is then placed on a known structure and side-chains are …

Wrapping Landscape: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Golf Clubhouse
The focus of my thesis is to create an architectural wrap through a development of layers in a system. This investigation starts with the design of a golf clubhouse on the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Orthogonal Filters and the Implications of Wrapping on Discrete Wavelet Transforms
Discrete wavelet transforms have many applications, including those in image compression and edge detection. Transforms constructed using orthogonal filters are extremely useful in that they can easily be inverted as well as coded. We review the major properties of three well-known orthogonal …

A service wrapping and provisioning framework for service-oriented architecture (SOA)
… This thesis will present a generic service wrapping and provisioning framework (SWAPS). Via SWAPS, the service wrapper to the legacy application can be generated on-the-fly and can be autonomic provisioned in the grid computing environments as a service provider. SWAPS is designed and …

Assessing the Effectiveness of Reducing Seismic Vulnerability by a Program of Bridge Pier Wrapping
… misalignment; (d) A program of bridge pier wrapping can significantly reduce bridge functionality losses and allow continuous uninterrupted traffic flow on over approximately 80% of the existing bridges. The damage likely to the remaining 20% requires mitigation actions additional to column …

Evidence that aciniform silk and minor ampullate silk are major constituents of wrapping silk from the black widow
… to characterize a lesser known silk type, called wrapping (swathing) silk, from <em>Latrodectus hesperus</em>. My research focused on elucidating the fibroins that make up the swathing silk. Perfonning MS/MS analyses on solubilized wrapping silk fibroins digested with trypsin, we demonstrate that …

Design and development of high precision elastomeric-stamp wrapping system for roll-to-roll multi-layer microcontact printing
… a flat stamp, design of a high-precision wrapping system, design of a five-axis positioning system, and modification of the impression roller. This thesis describes in detail the design of an innovative high-precision system to wrap the elastomeric stamp on the print roller. This is …

Promoting Inclusive Higher Education in the digital age: Wrapping massive open online courses (MOOCs) for youth from marginalised communities in South Africa
… to provide more flexible pathways to HE. The wrapping of MOOCs follows a similar process but can be specifically used to be inclusive of students traditionally excluded from HE. The aim of the research explores the extent to which wrapped MOOCs made in South Africa could serve as effective …

Design of fluid film journal bearings containing continuous 3D fluid pathways which are formed by wrapping a sheet containing 2D through-cut features
… manufacture parts with 3D internal networks by wrapping thin sheets of material containing 2D through-cut features. This wrapping-based fabrication process, called Three-Dimensional Wrapped Network (3DWN) technology, uses the precision of low-cost, ubiquitous items instead of manufacturing …

Single molecule force spectroscopy of single stranded DNA binding protein and Rep helicase
… nanometer resolution. By detecting directly the wrapping of ssDNA by a single protein, we are able to characterize the thermodynamics and kinetics of nucleoprotein complex formation. Mechanical pulling of ssDNA in the presence of SSB reveals that the protein condenses ssDNA in the force range …

Wetting of non rigid surfaces
… origami process. It was found that the droplet wrapping process could be controlled with the appropriate choice of liquid. Using a wetting liquid would see an enhanced wrapping state whereas use of a dewetting liquid would see a complete suppression of the wrapping process. The second set of …
