The use of a laser imaging system for automated vehicle guidance and space servicing tasks
(1990)This thesis presents a simulation of a laser imaging system for automated vehicle guidance and space servicing tasks. Data generated by this system are used to command a robot navigating in an unconstrained natural terrain. ... -
The use of infrared kinetic spectroscopy to study small free radicals
(1998)The technique of infrared kinetic spectroscopy has been used to study the reaction of the propargyl radical (C3H3) with nitric oxide (NO). The overall rate constant at the high pressure limit for the reaction was determined ... -
The use of K(nd) Rydberg atoms to investigate low-energy electron-molecule interactions
(1987)Negative ion formation through electron transfer in collisions between K(nd) Rydberg atoms (10 $\leq$ n $\leq$ 110) and C$\sb7$F$\sb{14}$ and 1,1,1-C$\sb2$Cl$\sb3$F$\sb3$ is studied and provides a novel means to explore ... -
The use of optimization techniques in the solution of partial differential equations from science and engineering
(1996)Optimal Control of systems governed by Partial Differential Equations is an applications-driven area of mathematics involving the formulation and solution of minimization problems. Given a physical phenomenon described by ... -
The use of radioactive phosphorus in studies of chick embryo infections with vaccinia and influenza virus
(1951)Abstract Not Available. -
The use of redox measurements to study methane mitigation options in Texas rice paddies
(1996)Redox measurements were used to study whether different mitigation options affect methane emission and production by altering the electrochemical environment in rice paddy soil. These mitigation options include field ... -
The use of scanning laser range finders for autonomous robotic navigation
(1989)An intelligent robotic system must possess the capabilities to sense the environment, perceive the environment, reason on the environment and then act based upon the conclusions of the reasoning process. Autonomous robotic ... -
The use of shock physics to predict the mechanics of hypervelocity impact
(2000)Shielding of spacecraft is a concern in the design of modern space vehicles. Due to unplanned spacecraft failures and naturally occurring planetary matter, the space environment is littered with orbital debris. This orbital ... -
The use of spin-labelling techniques in the study of Penning ionization reaction dynamics
(1992)The use of spin-labelling to study the dynamics of He (2 $\sp3$S) metastable atom ionization of atoms and simple molecules is described. Briefly, He (2 $\sp3$S) atoms created by a microwave discharge are spin-polarized in ... -
The use of statutory control by U.S. state legislators: One step closer to a more complete understanding of legislative control of bureaucrats
(2009)Legislative scholars examining the use of statutory control to oversee and control bureaucrats have consistently found that the political environment influences the amount of policy-making discretion provided to bureaucrats ... -

THE USE OF SUPPORTED REAGENTS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES (METHYLENECYCLOPROPENE, CYCLOPROPENES)
(1985)The first isolable hydrocarbon derivative of methylenecyclo- propene, 1,4-di-tert-butylmethylenecyclopropene, was synthesized. The chemical shifts of the olefinic protons revealed that the dipolar structure Ia makes a ... -
THE USE OF SURFACE HOT-FILM SENSORS IN DILUTE POLYMER FLOWS
(1987)The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using flush-mounted surface hot-film sensors in dilute polymer solutions to measure mean wall shear stress. Experiments were conducted using hot-film sensors mounted ... -
The vaporization of an electrically conducting droplet through the use of an external alternating magnetic field
(1994)A nondimensionalized model is developed for a falling, electrically conducting, spherical droplet undergoing equilibrium vaporization. Vaporization is caused by the presence of an external, alternating magnetic field. This ... -
The vascular system of the rabbit ovary and its relationship to ovulation
(1951)Abstract Not Available. -
THE VELOCITY STRUCTURE AND TURBULENCE AT THE CENTER OF THE ORION NEBULA
(1987)Using the Coude Feed System of the Kitt Peak National Observatory at its highest possible dispersion and a CCD detector with wide dynamic range we were able to examine in detail the radial and turbulent velocities of the ... -
THE VICTORIAN HERITAGE OF VIRGINIA WOOLF: THE EXTERNAL WORLD IN HER NOVELS (TIME, SETTING, COMMUNICATION, LANGUAGE, SOCIETY)
(1985)Woolf's Victorian background made her ambivalent towards the external world of time, place, history, society, physical phenomena, and language. The Victorian Age stressed factualism, time, and place, embracing society and ... -
The Victorian Religious Novel: Conversion, Confession, and the Marriage Plot
(2012)Victorian scholars of fiction have hitherto largely overlooked that fiction was an important site for Victorian authors and readers to engage in open discussion of religious issues in the Victorian period, often known, ... -
The Victorian short story: A textual culture's forgotten genre
(2004)This study claims a space for the Victorian short story in the literary canon. It explores what forces were at work between 1830, when the rise of the magazine created a venue for short story publication, and 1884, when ...
