Technical writing; English language--Study and teaching--Foreign speakers; Academic writing--Study and teaching
This dissertation examines how nonnative English speaking (NNES) faculty and
students in engineering respond to language variation and how that response influences
their teaching and learning of academic writing. Using grounded theory approach...
At the University of Louisville, there is no continuous and dependable connection
between the needs of the community for expert help in solving practical problems and
the capabilities of the students enrolled in cumulating experience courses....
Accelerated life testing; Reliability (Engineering); Service life (Engineering)
This dissertation is focused on finding lower confidence limits for the reliability of systems consisting of Wei bull components when the reliability demonstration testing (RDT) is conducted with zero failures. The usual methods for the parameter...
Mixing machinery; Production engineering--Case studies
A processing facility in Trenton, Ky owned by HydroSolutions is in need of modernization in order to increase efficiency in the mixing process, improve the safety of the facility, and give the facility the ability to expand in the future. The main...
Gene therapy; Spinal cord--Wounds and injuries; Tissue engineering
The combination of viral mediated gene delivery, tissue engineering, and Schwann cell (SC) transplantation offer a promising strategy to enhance axonal regeneration and functional recovery following spinal cord injury (SCI). The rationale and...
Bi-stable buckled MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) diaphragms have a myriad of uses in the MEMS field for their large out-of-plane deflections. Buckling is a phenomenon brought upon by a compressive stress. Diaphragms are large aspect ratio,...
The past decade has brought about major advances in the realms of both
healthcare and biometrics. New technologies and techniques in the field of biometrics
has allowed for the quick and efficient identification of people, while new...
Assessing the functionality of the endothelium can provide insight into the initiation and formation of arterial diseases. One of the most important functions of the endothelial layer is its permeability. The integrity of the cell monolayer and its...

Newly-built Institute of Industrial Research, now known as the Duthie Center for Engineering (part of the J.B. Speed School of Engineering) seen from near Eastern Parkway. The building door is open. Formerly named Kersey Library, in honor of Laura...
Background - Cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture in the canine stifle is a leading
cause of orthopedic lameness in the dog. Several corrective surgical procedures have
been developed to return dogs to pre-injury function following CrCL...

An older man, apparently an instructor, looks on as younger men work with equipment in the Speed Scientific School's (now known as the Speed School of Engineering) electrical engineering laboratory, as they are working with wires and switches.
Since the beginning of the VLSI era, various technologies have been adopted for developing the design and characterization of analog circuits. For robust design, the influences of the process parameter variations have been considered over the...
