One contentious question in contemporary election administration is the impact of voter identification requirements. We study a Virginia law which allows us to isolate the impact of requiring voters to show photo identification. Using novel, precinctlevel data, we find that the percentage of registered voters without a driver’s license and over age 85 are both positively associated with the num...

In this paper, we study some new connections between parabolic Liouvilletype theorems and local and global properties of nonnegative classical solutions to superlinear parabolic problems, with or without boundary conditions. Namely, we develop a general method for derivation of universal, pointwise a priori estimates of solutions from Liouville-type theorems, which unifies and improves many res...

This research work introduces the Early Triassic, Late Triassic-Early Jurassic, and Early Cretaceous silica-rich sand levels at east and central Alborz, Kopeh-Dagh, and Central Iran, and compares them with the Permian silica-rich sand level in the Chirouk mine at east Iran. Ghoznavi and Gheshlaq loose sand in Alborz (Early Triassic-Early Jurassic), Soh quartzite in Central Iran (Early Triassic...

In order to be competitive in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, quality improvement and yield enhancement have received increasing attention. The research focuses on the molding process of Integrated Circuit (IC) assembly. The defects often occurred in molding process include hole, vein, crack, and floss. In order to raise the yield of molding process, the study applies the Taguchi meth...

Title of Dissertation: ALGORITHMS FOR GENERATING MULTI-STAGE MOLDING PLANS FOR ARTICULATED ASSEMBLIES Alok K. Priyadarshi, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor Satyandra K. Gupta Department of Mechanical Engineering Plastic products such as toys with articulated arms, legs, and heads are traditionally produced by first molding individual components separately...

http://www.journal-imab-bg.org / J of IMAB. 2016, vol. 22, issue 3/ ABSTRACT Purpose: The purpose of this in vivo study is to register the forces necessary to displace maxillary complete dentures fabricated by compression molding and injection molding techniques on one and the same patient and to compare the interfacial surface tension and capillarity which are achieved by both techniques. Mate...

Cleft of the lip, alveolus and palate (CLAP), is a complex facial deformity, which requires multiple surgeries and bone grafting to correct the defect. Active or passive Pre surgical Orthopedic Molding reduces the deformity and thus reduces number of surgeries to achieve superior post surgical esthetic. Pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is passive molding which align and approximate the ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the suitability bioplastic bottles for wine packaging. largely packaged in glass bottles, although alternative solutions such as laminate, plastic and bag-in-box packaging are decidedly widespread on market by virtue their ease use low cost, especially so-called entry-level products. However, involving partial or exclusive subject discussion scientific commu...
