• #### Quasi-elastic resonant x-ray scattering ﻿

(1997)
In the fast collision approximation, the scattering amplitude operator of the quasi-elastic scattering is expressed as the summation of multipole moment operators $M\sp{(k)}(l\sb{i},s\sb{i})$ of the valence shell involved ...
• #### Quasi-static study on the fluid and structure interactions of the subsurface safety valves (SSSV) for extreme high pressure and high temperature (XHPHT) applications ﻿

(2010)
This thesis summarizes the preliminary design work of a new subsurface safety valve (SSSV) for extreme high pressure (30,000 psi) and high temperature (450&deg;F) (XHPHT) applications. Current SSSV designs are not reliable ...

(1968)
• #### Query Processing and Optimization for Database Stochastic Analytics ﻿

(2014-12-03)
The application of relational database systems to analytical processing has been an active area of research for about two decades, motivated by constant surges in the scale of the data and in the complexity of the analysis ...
• #### Quilting Faith: African American Quilts as Source Material for Study of African American Religion ﻿

(2015-10-20)
Scholars of African American religion have done well to note the poignant role of cultural productions in the making, doing, and theorizing of religion and life options. Lacking in this discourse is critical attention ...
• #### QUIRE: Lightweight Provenance for Smart Phone Operating Systems ﻿

(2012)
Smartphone applications(apps) often run with full privileges to access the network and sensitive local resources, making it difficult for remote systems to have any trust in the provenance of network connections they ...
• #### Race, conservative politics, and U.S. foreign policy in the postcolonial world, 1948--1968 ﻿

(2008)
This dissertation analyzes the rise of conservatism in American politics from 1948 to 1968, paying special attention to the impact of the civil rights movement and race on postwar political realignments. Unlike previous ...

• #### Radial MILO: A 4D Image Registration Algorithm Based on FIltering Block Match Data via l1-minimization ﻿

(2015-04-21)
Minimal l1 Perturbation to Block Match Data (MILO) is a spatially accurate image registration algorithm developed for thoracic CT inhale/exhale images. The MILO algorithm consists of three components: (1) creating an initial ...
• #### Radial-zoned thermal accretion disk model around black holes ﻿

(1997)
High energy astrophysics is a relatively new discipline that has witnessed tremendous advancement in the past 25 years or so with the advent of space technology, which provides the field with an indispensable observational ...

(1969)
• #### Radiation and convection heat transfer in particle-laden fluid flow ﻿

(1991)
Combined radiation, convection, and conduction heat transfer are studied in a dispersed two phase flow of gray, laminar, axisymmetric media, where both phases are radiatively participating. The radiative transfer equation ...
• #### RADIATION PRESSURE AND THE GEOCORONA (EXOSPHERES, ATMOSPHERIC ESCAPE) ﻿

(1985)
The theory of planetary exospheres is extended to incorporate solar radiation pressure in a rigorous manner, and an evaporative geocoronal prototype (classical, motionless exobase) is constructed using Liouville's theorem. ...
• #### Radiative decays of low-lying excited-state hyperons ﻿

(2000)
The quark wave-functions of the lower-lying excited-state hyperons &Lambda;(1405), &Lambda;(1385), and &Lambda;(1520) are not well understood. For example, the &Lambda;(1405) may not be a regular three-quark state but ...
• #### Radiative neutron capture in I___ß ﻿

(1956)
The prompt gamma rays and induced activity from the reaction I127(n,r)I128 are studied for neutron energy of 0.2 Mev to 1.91 Mev using a NaI(Tl) crstal both as target and detector. The relative cross sections calculated ...
• #### Radiative transfer solution with discrete wavelets in the angular domain ﻿

(2003)
Radiative heat transfer analysis requires the consideration of seven independent variables, three spatial directions, two angular directions, frequency and time. Consequently, the solution of radiative transfer problems ...
• #### Radioactivity in tektites ﻿

(1966)
Thorium, uranium, and potassium contents of 10 bediasites, 12 philippinites, 8 australltes, and 5 indochinttes were determined using a non-destructive gamma-spectrometric technique. The average thorium, uranium, and potassium ...
• #### Radiofrequency-induced Cellular Hyperthermia: Water-soluble Fullerene as a New Cancer Therapeutic Agent ﻿

(2014-09-08)
Due to the susceptibility of cancer to hyperthermia, abundant biomedical research is being conducted for the development of therapies using nanotechnology for noninvasive cancer hyperthermia. In this work, the water-soluble ...
• #### RADIOLARIAN BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEOCEANOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF MONTEREY-LIKE ROCKS OF THE HUMBOLDT BASIN, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ﻿

(1987)
The middle and upper Miocene sediments of the Humboldt Basin, northern California, have been investigated for the presence of radiolarian fauna. The vast majority of the radiolaria found are cold water indicators, however ...
