Cell-mediated immunity after ocular Ark-type infectious bronchitis virus vaccination
(2013-04-16)
Infectious bronchitis (IB) virus (IBV) is an endemic pathogen of poultry industry causing considerable economic losses by reducing quality and quantity of egg and meat production in chickens. In spite of intensive vaccination ...
Choral directors' knowledge of biological and sociological sex differences in the secondary choral classroom
(2013-04-16)
Secondary choral directors who enter the work force are expected to teach all types of choirs, including mixed-sex choirs, male choirs, and female choirs. Most undergraduate programs address voice change differences and ...
Decomposition of Complete Tri-Partite Graphs into 5-Cycles
(2013-04-16)
E. S. Mahmoodian gave necessary conditions for when the edges of a complete tripartite graph can be partitioned so that each set in the partition induces a 5-cycle. Since then, he, N. J. Cavenagh, E. J. Billington, S. ...
A Methodology for Increasing the Dependability of Open Source Software Components
(2013-04-16)
With the increasing use of open source software components in real world systems, there has arisen a need for increasing the dependability of these components. The dependability of these components can be increased like ...
Observations on the Ecology and Behavior of Macroseius biscutatus, an Obligate Pitcher Plant Mite
(2013-04-16)
The current conservation status of arthropods symbiotically associated with tall-form Sarracenia spp. is poorly known. Yet these unique organisms and their associations are disappearing due to habitat loss, degradation and ...
Application of Shrinkage and Swelling Factors on State Highway Construction
(2013-04-16)
The objectives of the research were to review the state of practice for roadway related earthwork calculations for the southeastern states, develop a calculation tool for comparing various state earthwork methods, demonstrate ...
Utilization of Iron at Fort Mitchell 1RU102: A Functional Analysis
(2013-04-16)
From 1813 until 1840, the Fort Mitchell site, 1RU102, was a significant character in the history of the United States. It served as a fortification during both Creeks wars and as a focal point of trade between the United ...
A Methodology for Detecting Pilot Fatigue and Head Tilt Measured Using Flight Simulation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(2013-04-16)
The objective of this research project was to determine whether the human factors of
