An objective of transport policy is to meet the transportation needs of the economy with a minimum expenditure of economic resources. During the 60's and 70's the distribution of freight traffic in...
View ArticleOptical imaging of IRAS galaxies: The evolution of infrared-bright galaxies
Gravitational interactions play an important role in galaxy evolution, both in causing rapid structural changes in individual galaxies, and in changing the overall properties of galaxies over the age...

Radiation crosslinked samples of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF$\sb2$) were obtained from the Raychem Company, heated to above their crystalline melting point, stretched and isothermally...
View ArticleA multitransition study of the cyclic molecule cyclopropenylidene...
We report results of multi-transition observations and modeling of the hydrocarbon ring molecule cyclopropenylidene (C$\sb3$H$\sb2$). From a survey of the 1$\sb{10}$-1$\sb{01}$ (18 GHz) and...
View ArticleGas dynamics in interacting and merging galaxies
In this dissertation I develop a three dimensional model of the dynamics of gas clouds in interacting galaxies. The gas clouds move under the combined gravitational influence of two galaxies passing...
View ArticleStudies in metallocene chemistry: A cell for infrared spectroelectrochemistry...
Studies of the properties of metal cyclopentadienyl compounds were made by infra-red spectroelectrochemistry, electrochemistry, synthesis and $\sp{103}$Rh nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry.^ A...

Through a historical narrative that considers the asymmetric relationship between the United States (U.S.) and Puerto Rico (P.R.), based on a dependency conceptual framework, major external (U.S.) and...
View ArticleAn exploration of attrition, retention, and predictors of success in...
With vacancies in the roster of registered nurses increasing, and the number of graduating nurses dropping, there is a clear need to improve not only recruitment, but retention and success rates in...
View ArticleSeparation of fatty acids from fish oils by liquid membranes
Investigations of the separation of fatty acids from fish oils using liquid membrane systems were made. Fatty acids transport in liquid membrane systems with different conditions was observed...

This study investigates relationships between gender and achievement as well as gender and attitudes in a computer-integrated first year college mainstream calculus course in comparison with a similar...
View ArticleMimicry and movement: Fascism, politics, and culture in Italy and Germany,...
The political term "totalitarian" (totaliltario) was coined by Italian Fascism in 1925, and adopted almost simultaneously as a pejorative by the regime's opposition. This language of the Italian stato...

This thesis examines the problem of the generation and evaluation of future world states in complex planning domains. A tool to aid plan formation in such domains, especially those containing...
View ArticleASPECTS OF A CATEGORIAL THEORY OF PHONOLOGY
The aim of this thesis is to present an alternative theory of phonology. The proposed theory is modelled after Montague's theory of syntax and semantics. The theory differs from standard generative...
View ArticleINFERENCE ON GENETIC STRUCTURE FROM POTENTIAL MATES ANALYSIS, A STUDY OF TWO...
The objective of this research is to better understand the number of potential mates as a variable for analyzing the processes which lead to genetic structure. To do this, variation in the number of...
