The Center for Environmental Studies at Youngstown State University has been investigating several of the lakes in the Mahoning Valley. The lakes are being tested to see if there has been any affect to the lakes physiological ...
Cranberry Juice Cocktail (CJC) has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of bacterial adherence to uroephithelial cells. As a result, the use of this juice has been investigated as a possible alternative to antibiotics for ...
"These People are Different; or, Horatio Alger's Ethnic Americans" demonstrates that Horatio Alger, Jr. contributed to American cultural perceptions of non-Anglo Americans. In his writing he projected a negative attitude ...
In vivo assays have demonstrated that cranberry juice cocktail (CJC) ingestion confers an increased anti-bacterial adherence activity to the urine. This study addresses CJC's effect on the anti-adherence properties of ...
The content of the research presented in this thesis is based on the synthesis,purification, and characterization of chiral phosphorus mustards. The stereochemistry of the starting materials were varied to do a comparison ...
The detrimental effects of the untreated release of compounds containing heavy metals to the environment has been well documented. Numerous energy-intensive and/or labor intensive technologies have been developed to remove ...
Population and technology are growing fast, and the EPA regulation in reference to solid waste are becoming more restrictive, leading to less landfill space. Therefore, there is a cry for an efficient, feasible solution ...
From "Chants Democratic: New York City & the Rise of the American Working Class, 1788-1850," Dr. Sean Wilentz concluded, "Above all else, it was the very transparency of exploitation, the self-evident inequalities of power ...
A focus of the research presented here is on the multi-step synthesis, isolation and characterization of phosphorous containing transition state analogs. Several procedures for the synthesis of the aminophosphonate core ...
Continuous casting of rounds is an economic and efficient process and is standard industrial practice. Mathematical modeling for the continuous casting of slabs is well documented, but similar modeling has not been developed ...
Natural killer cells are lymphocytes that act as the first line of defense against tumors. Natural killer cells do not require previous exposure to target cells for activity. This allows them to control abnormal cell ...
Hydrosim Mk. 1.0 was developed as a graphical interface for the United States Soil Conservation Services; TR-55 watershed model to better examine the effects of land use on runoff and peak discharge for both single and ...
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a technique that takes ordinary S-parameters, measured in a standard 50 Ω characteristic impedance test environment, and mathematically produce a new set of S-parameters based on ...
Purpald, (4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-meracapto-1,2,4-trizazole), a chromagenic agent for detection of aldehydes has been studied as a possible aid for enhancing detectability of aldosterone, as well as simpler aldehydes. ...
The purpose of thesis thesis was to accurately model threaded connections using finite element analysis. This was accomplished by machining and loading an experimental test assembly, then comparing the overall spring rate ...
The Mahoning River Corridor Redevelopment Project was formed as a cooperation between Youngstown State University (YSU) and the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD), and the Regional Growth Alliance (RGA) to determine the ...
The presence of a non-aqueous liquid phase in the subsurface often controls the rate and magnitude of groundwater contamination. This project focused on one dimensional infiltration of a non-aqueous phase liquid through ...
This is a thesis which details the actual cases heard before the Rehnquist Supreme Court from 1986-1994. This thesis shows how the Justices voted on the different issues concerning the topic of capital punishment. The ...
The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method is used to perform coupled Electrical-Thermal analyses of automotive electrical assemblies. An assembly consisting of a fuse, terminal and electrical wires is evaluated in the ...
Some commonly encountered difficulties in High Performance Liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) analyses are the inadequate detectability of analytes in the chromatographic eluent, and overlapping bands resulting in poor resolution ...
