title: Data for: Non-invasive morphological studies of a tomographic dataset of Funerary Urns from Middle Balsas region, Michoacán, Mexico

description: Studies of funeral context using X-ray tomography provide a non-invasive method for the measurement of the context distribution, textural descriptors, topological and morphological properties of the pieces inside the context. This work presents a computational framework that provides the methods to process the raw data produced by clinical X-ray tomography. The objective is to create a description of the distribution of the elements inside the urn and obtain tridimensional models of the pieces composing the funeral context. The models are subsequently evaluated using a set of morphological measurements that provide descriptors of each item from a set of funerary urns from the Middle Balsas region in Michoacán, Mexico. It was observed that the distribution of bones and metal objects across the urns was non-uniform; some general burial practice can be observed in some of the urns, but the funerary context in each urn present differences in the amount of bone fragments or metal volume, and not all urns contain metal objects. Urns that do contain metal objects contain different quantities, and the contexts have a different distribution. This methodology is another way to gather accurate information of the context items’ positions in a three-dimensional environment and understand better the process involved in the funerary practice.

title: Identification of genes involved in osmoregulation of the black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon

description: Differential Display Polymerase Chain Reaction technique (DD-PCR) was used for the identification of genes involved in osmoregulation in antennal gland, epipodite and gill tissues of the salinity stressed Penaeus monodon. Shrimp reared at 25 ppt salinity as a control group were transferred to 3 and 40 ppt salinities for 6, 24 h and 2 weeks (stressed groups). Parallel comparison of stress and control DD-PCR profiles derived from 26 combinations of arbitrary and oligo-dT primer were performed to identify the differentially expressed genes. A total of 97 differentially expressed bands could be identified from 17 primer combinations. These bands were successfully reamplified, cloned and sequenced. A total of 129 unique sequences were found. Homology search showed that 37 different sequences significantly matched the GenBank database. Among the matched sequences, 22, 6 and 9 gene homologues were known genes, ribosomal proteins and hypothetical proteins, respectively. Twenty-three of 129 unique sequences including carbonic anhydrase, corin isoform 2, sarcolemmal associated protein 2, NIMA-family kinase Nek 7, karyopherin alpha 4, vacuolar protein sorting 18, CHK1 CHECKPOINT, Rps 16 protein, integrin alpha, 5 hypothetical proteins and 9 unknown gene products, were selected for confirmation of their differential expression patterns using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The RT-PCR results confirmed that 21 out of 23 cDNA fragments were regulated by salinity stress. Eight cDNA fragments of unknown genes regulated by salinity from RT-PCR analysis were predicted for domain homologies using SMART program and Kyte-Doolittle hydropathy plots. The results showed that the encoded peptide of S5, S114 and S126 cDNA fragments contained transmembrane regions. In summary, the salinity-responsive genes that were identified from this study are potentially involved in osmoregulation of P. monodon.

title: Improvement of lubricity of sulfonated methyl ester from vegetable oil soapstocks

description: The purpose of this study was to synthesis sulfonated methyl ester with lubricating property from palm oil and rice bran oil soapstocks. Firstly, soapstocks were changed to methyl esters by esterification using methanol and concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. Then methyl ester products were reacted with oleum to produce sulfonated methyl esters. The sulfonated methyl esters were identified by spectroscopic techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and x-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The resulting sulfonated methyl esters could be easily blended with base diesel fuel and used as lubricity improver. At 5% by weight, both sulfonated methyl esters gave the same value of mean wear scar diameter of 192 um, as the standard value of mean wear scar diameter was less than 460 um. Therefore, these products could improve the lubricity performance of base diesel fuel.

title: Implementation and controller design of a mobile inverted pendulum

description: In this thesis we find nonlinear dynamic equations of a Mobile Inverted Pendulum (MIP) based on the inverted pendulum model. Then we linearize the nonlinear equations to obtain the linear model which was used in the controller design. Our goal is to desing two controllers, the first one is a nonlinear controller and the second one is a state feedback controller. These controllers have ability for balancing and MIP that can guarantee stability, performance and robustness for the nonlinear plant. The first controller is gain scheduling controller which is based on Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) synthesis techniques and Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) approaches. This controller is implemented on Matlab and connected to the robot via RS232 port. The second controller is a linear state-feedback LQR and Pole-placement controller. It is proposed to balance the MIP around equilibrium point and it is implemented on a DSPIC so that the robot can balance itself autonomously. Finally, we construct an MIP that could move forward, backward, leftward or rightward via a remote control.

title: Influence of pozzolan on the plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete

description: Concrete at its fresh state allows for the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracks due to the excessive and rapid evaporation rate of water and the inability or lack of bleed water to replace the evaporating water. Plastic shrinkage cracks can occur in concrete slabs, pavements, and flatworks and has been known on occasion to penetrate the whole depth of a section. Unless such cracks are small and marrow, they could permit penetration of deleterious substances and weaken the structure if not controlled. Since the use of pozzolan in the concrete industry has been increasing due to its ability to improve concrete properties, then it would be possible that such materials could provide a means to control plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete. Pozzolan used as cement replacement were fly ash and pelletized silica fume. Fly ash contents of 0 to 50% and silica fume contents of 0, 3, and 5% were mixed with water/binder ratios of 0.30, 0.40, and 0.50. Specimens were prepared and tested in accordance with ASTM C 1579-06. Images of the specimens studied were taken and processed for crack quantification in terms of crack area, maximum crack width, and average crack width with the use of Image Analysis technique. The behavior of the cracks was also observed after 28 days of exposure to different curing conditions : moist curing by wet burlap and exposure to air curing conditions. Results show that with as the amount of fly ash as cement replacement was used, crack area decreased. However, maximum crack width and average crack width increased as fly ash content increased For silica fume concrete, crack area, maximum crack width, and average crack width decreased as the amount of silica fume increased. Both fly ash and silica fume concrete specimens had greater percent change in crack quantification values when exposed to moist cured conditions.

title: La poesie francaise de la resistance (1940-1945)

description: Pendant la Deuxieme Guerre mondiale, la France fut occupee par les Allemands. Affectes par ce fait, beaucoup de poetes francais deciderent de s'engager dans la Resistance en prenant leur plume comme une arme. Leur poesie de la Resistance accuse l'occupation en revelant l'inhumanite des soldats nazis, I'enfer dans des camps de la mort et la vie miserable de la population francaise. Par ailleurs, sous de diverses formes poetiques, la poesie de la Resistance appela la nation au combat. Elle encouragea le peuple a lutter contre cette catastrophe et lui redonna I'espoir de surmonter cette periode noire de la France.

title: Optical and structural characterization of GaAsN thin film and GaAsN/GaAs multiquantum well with high nitrogen concentration grown by MOVPE

description: The optical and structural properties of high N-content GaAs₀.₉₄₉N₀.₀₅₁ layer and GaAs₀.₉₅₀N₀.₀₅₀GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on GaAs (001) substrates by metaorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) were characterized by photoluminescence (PL) to measure the energy positions of the near band edge excitionic emission, high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and Raman scattering to examine the lattice parameters and the N concentrations of the layers annealed at 650° with different annealing time. The post-growth thermal annealing affects an increasing of N concentration, a strain relaxation and a blue-shift of the PL peak energy. After annealing can be explained by two major effects: (i) the reorganization of N and (ii) the strain relaxation in the GaAsN layer. On the other hand, the GaAs₀.₉₅₀N₀.₀₅₀/GaAs MQWs exhibits exhibits strong PL emission around the 1.3 mum-wavelegth region without post-growth thermal annealing treatment, which suggests an efficient electron confinement in the QWs. After post-growth thermal annealing, blue-shift of PL peak energy was clearly observed. However, this PL blue-shift which is induced by thermal annealing, can be described by diffusion of N atoms out of the well and homogeneity of the N concentration fluctuation. Based on PL results, it is evident that the band alignment of GaAsN/GaAs heterostructure is a type-I band lineup. Adding N to GaAs mainly affects the conduction band (CB) states leading to a large conduction band offset ([triangle]Ec ~ 550 meV). Our results show the potential for the fabrication of 1.3 um-wavelength GaAsN QW lasers on GaAs substrates.

title: L'image de la femme dans quatre romans de Colette : La Vagabonde, Cheri, La Naissance du jour et La Seconde

description: Le dessein de notre recherché consiste a analyzer l'image de la femme dans quatre romans de Colette. Cette etude se repartit en trios chapitres, don't le premier traite les techniques de la presentation des personages feminins. La femme colettienne apparait comme la figure centrale du recit et assume la fonction de narrateur. Dans le recit a la troisieme personne, les evenements sont le puls souvent percus selon l'optique de l'heroine. Colette emprunte aux techniques de peintre impressionniste pour brosser le portrait des personnages feminins. Par ailleurs, elle accorde une importance capitale a l'evocation du corps de la femme du fait qu'il devoile sa vie interieure. Le deuxieme chapitre s'attache a examiner la condition sociale de la femme francaise au debut du XX[superscript e] siecle a travers les romans de Colette. La femme jouit des droits tres restreints et elle ne trouve guere de place dans la societe. Colette dessine a travers ses heroines un nouveau modele de la femme qui se caracterise par la force de caractere et le gout de la liberte. Le dernier chapitre se concentre sur la psychologie de la femme colettienne. On note que Colette est la premiere romanciere a traiter le probleme de l'amour selon le point de vue de la femme. L'ecrivain prete a ses heroines ses douloureuses experiences de mariage. L'amour est concu comme une source de souffrances. L'homme en est responsable a cause de son infidelite et de son egoisme. La femme colettienne affronte a un conflit interieur qui la dechire entre l'amour et l'aspiration a l'independance. Pour proposer un salut a la femme, Colette fait de sa mere Sido une ideale qui sait vivre en accord avec la nature. A la place de l'amour desormais ecarte, la femme colettienne retrouvel l'esperance et les plaisirs durables au sein de la nature.

title: Optimal linear error-block codes

description: In 2006, K. Feng, L. Xu and F. J. Hickernell initiated the concept of a linear error-block code which is a natural generalization of the classical linear code. In this thesis, we investigate optimal linear error-block codes in two directions : maximal dimension codes and maximal minimum [pi]-distance codes. First perspective on optimizing a code is by studying lower bounds and upper bounds on dimension of a code. The various bounds developed in this research provide tools used in obtaining more efficient codes which in some cases lead to optimal codes. The later approach is by modifying suitable existing linear error-black codes so that the optimal ones are rewarded.

title: Optimization of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis

description: In this study, experimental design was employed in order to investigate the effects of operating conditions on supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. The factors investigated were the operating temperature in range of 40-80 ํC, the operating pressure in range of 300-500 bar, and the extraction time in range of 1-4 hours. The results showed that the main effect of operating pressure, the main effect of extraction time, and the interaction effect between operating temperature and operating pressure were significant factors for the astaxanthin yields. From the response surface model of the experimental data, an optimal condition for astaxanthin content was found to be at the temperature of 90 ํC, the pressure of 640 bar, the extraction time of 2.9 hours and amount of astaxanthin extract of 22.66 mg/g. This condition was the extrapolated result and therefore would not be accurately predicted. Thus the optimal condition was proposed within the range of this experiment to be at the temperature of 70 ํC, the pressure of 500 bar, and the extraction time of 4 hours, which yielded the amount of astaxanthin extract of 23.04 mg/g dry algae. For the effect of experimental conditions on antioxidant activity, IC[subscript 50], the concentration that gives a 50% reduction in the absorbance of the free radical ABTS, was used as a measure of the activity. The analysis of the results showed that interaction between operating temperature and operating pressure was the only significant factor affecting the extract antioxidant activity. The response surface analysis gave the conditions that yielded the minimum antioxidant activity of the extract. This condition was at the temperature of 50 ํC, the pressure of 354 bar, and the extraction time of 2.68 hours, in which the IC[subscript 50] was 2.18 mg/l. Therefore, the optimal condition recommended for SC-CO[subscript 2] extraction was at the temperature of 70 ํC, the pressure of 500 bar, and the extraction time of 4 hours

title: Performance improvement of paging mobile internet protocol based on multicasting and regional registration

description: Paging Mobile Internet Protocol can reduce signaling cost and power consumption in Mobile Internet Protocol (Mobile IP) significantly by utilizing the idle state of the Mobile Node. Paging Mobile IP, however, still use the same registration method as Mobile IP. Registration takes long delay if Mobile Node roams far way from its Home Agent. Therefore, Paging Mobile IP still has poor performance in terms of handoff latency and number of lost packets. In this research, we propose to combine Paging Mobile IP with regional registration and multicasting to improve its performance. Gateway Foreign Agent is introduced in the visited domain to handle regional registration and paging process. We apply multicasting to send packets from Gateway Foreign Agent to Mobile Node so that the Mobile Node can receive packets as soon as it moves to new cell. Two methods are proposed. The first method uses Network Layer information for movement detection and construction of multicast group while the second method utilizes Link Layer information for the same purposes. We simulate our proposed methods by using Borland Delphi 7 and compare their performance to Mobile IP, Paging Mobile IP, Paging Mobile IP Post Registration, and Paging Mobile IP Regional Registration in terms of handoff latency, number of lost packets, signaling cost, and data hop. Simulation results in all scenarios show that our proposed methods perform much better than original Paging Mobile IP Protocol. Proposed Method 1 has the best performance in terms of handoff latency and number of lost packets among all protocols that use Network Layer information for movement detection. Furthermore, Proposed Method 2 also performs better than Paging Mobile IP Post Registration in most scenarios.

title: Percutaneous absorption of UV filters

description: In this work, percutaneous absorption of UV filters through baby mice skins (Mus musculus Linn) and volunteer human skins were studied by Franz diffusion cell and Suction Blister techniques. The results showed very good correlation of the absorption result between baby mice skin and human skin. Among octyl methoxycinnamate, butyl methoxy dibenzoylmethane, 4-methyl benzylidene camphor, Eusolex UV pear OMC, di(2-ethylhexyl)-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzalmalonate, 2-ethylthexy1-2, 4-5-trimethoxycinnamate, dihexyl-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzalmalonate, diethyl-2,4,5-trimethoxy benzalmalonate, poly-(3-hydroxy-propoxy) cinnamic acid, poly-(6-hydroxy-hexyloxy)cinnamicacid, poly-(11-hydroxy-undecyloxy)cinnamic acid, poly penta ethylene glycol cinnamate, poly(p-propoxycinnamate)-co-(p-undecyloxycinnamate), poly [vinyl-2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate(vinyl alcohol)]copolymer, 4-methoxycinamoylphthaoyl irradiated chitosan, only octyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxy dibenzoylmethane gave significant transdermal penetration results. The two newly developed UV fiters di-(2-ethylhexyl)-2,4,5-trimethoxybenzalmalonate and 2-ethylhexyl-2,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate showed no trans-epidermal penetration.

title: Photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes by titanium dioxide in an air-lift reactor

description: The photocatalytic degradation of crocein orange G and methylene blue in aqueous solution over TiO[subscript2] in three different photoreactors namely, airlift reactor, bubble column reactor, and stirred tank reactor were investigated. Titanium dioxide was synthesized via a sol-gel method and titanium isopropoxide is employed as a precursor. Characterization of the catalyst revealed that TiO[subscript2] primarily consists of anatase phase with a very small amount of brookite phase. The crystallite size of anatase TiO[subscript2] was approximately 5 nm and the specific surface area of TiO[subscript2] was 170 m[superscript2] g[superscript-1]. The parameters studied included diameter of draft tube aeration rate, pH of dye solution, initial concentration of dye and types of photoreactors. Diameter of draft tube had no significant effect on the performance of the photoreactor system The performance of the system was better when aeration rate was higher, pH of the solution is suitable to the type of dyes and the initial concentration of dye was lower. Among the three photoreactors studied, an airlift reactor performed the best due to high dissolved oxygen concentration and good mixing and good circulation in the reactor. Furthermore the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model was able to describe the reaction kinetics fairly well.

title: Phytochemical study of Polyalthia Jucunda stem bark

description: In the investigation of chemical constituents of the stem bark of Polyalthia jucunda (Pierre) Finet & Gagnep., 4,5-dihydroblumenol A (a norsesquiterpene), 24-methylenelanosta-7,9(11)-dien-3beta,15alpha-diol (a triterpene) and a phenylpropanoid, 4-hydroxy-4,7-dimethyl-alpha-tetralone were isolated. Identification of these compounds was ac complished by analysis of their spectroscopy data: MA, 1-D and 2-D NMR, as well as comparison with reported values. All the compounds were evaluated for their effects on growth of four human tumor cell lines [ER (+) MCF-7, ER (-) MAD-MB-231, SF-268 and NCI-H460] as well as of a non-tumor cell line (MRC-5). Only 24-methylenelanosta-7,9(11)-dien-3beta,15alpha-diol exhibited a dose-dependent growth inhibitory effect against both tumor and non-tumor cell lines but with less, effect on the latter.
