It is my purpose in this thesis to explore the "reality" of illness, using philosophical phenomenology as a guide. In particular, I am concerned to show that the experience of illness, rather than representing a shared ...
We present a measurement of the single top quark cross section in the lepton
plus jets final state using an integrated luminosity corresponding to 7.5/fb of
collision data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. ...
In a neoclassical framework, high rates of economic growth can be sustained if the main source of this growth is improvements in technical efficiency, measured by Total Factor Productivity Growth (TFPG). This study argues ...
Certain 4-alkylamino-1,8-naphthalimides have been used as photosensitizers for photochemical protein crosslinking. In my research various types of 4-amino and N-substituents naphthalimides have been synthesized and studied ...
