Ganancia en peso, características de la canal y calidad de la carne de ovinos criollos alimentados en confinamiento con raciones totales
(2019-09-27)A three-stage study was conducted with the aim of evaluating voluntary consumption (CV) and weight gain of lambs fed total rations. It also compared the characteristics of the carcass and the quality of lamb fed with total ... -
Gap acceptance studies and critical gap times for two-way stop controlled intersections in the Mayagüez Area
(2006)Traffic analyses of priority intersections in Puerto Rico are currently performed using parameters obtained from the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). These values were obtained from studies performed in other environments ... -
Gaytrification : una doble identidad
(2022-05-17)Puerto Rico tiene unas capacidades económicas y turística de categoría mundial, desde encantos naturales hasta nuestra gente, no obstante, muchas veces perdemos oportunidades por no entrar en mercados nichos o recientes. ... -
Gender performativity in Japanese animation
(2018)In this thesis anime is studied as a cultural text and, when analyzed, demonstrates through its characters culture’s fabrication of gender. This thesis also explores how Japanese anime, as a transcultural popular culture ... -
Gender, curriculum and young adult literature in Puerto Rico: A content and critical discourse analysis
(2021-12-16)This qualitative study implemented a Critical Discourse Analysis using the PRDE English Program Gender Equity Manual (2015). In addition, this study compared the narrative literature from PRDE’s English 9th textbook- ... -
Gender, pedagogy, and werewolves: Duality in reading and teaching Quinn Loftis's Prince of Wolves
(2020-05-20)For generations werewolves have been a symbol of an uncontrollable male desire, however, Quinn Loftis has changed the civilized-savage binary in her novel, Prince of Wolves, to suggest that in the wake of multiple rape ... -
Generación y aprovechamiento de energía termoeléctrica
(2004)A new thermoelectric material for the generation of electricity above room temperature has been prepared. It is constructed of innershield cored wire, a crystalline material such as Cs2CoCl4 and constantan. Its average ... -
Generalizaciones de minimos cuadrados parciales con aplicación en clasificacion supervisada
(2004)The development of technologies such as microarrays has generated a large amount of data. The main characteristic of this kind of data it is the large number of predictors (genes) and few observations (experiments). Thus, ... -
Generalized reduced gradient algorithm for a local optimum of a cost function built through simulation
(2004)This project is the continuation of a previous simulation study based on a trial and error approach that pretended to find a better system. This new phase pursued a scientific approach for the simulation study in order ... -
Generalized water hammer algorithm for piping systems with unsteady friction
(2005)Unsteady flow in pipe networks is usually analyzed by means of one-dimensional models, in which the energy dissipation is computed assuming the friction factor dependent on the local and instantaneous Reynolds Number ... -
Generation and dynamic control of air microbubbles subjected to a complex 3D acoustic field
(2016)The purpose of this research is to verify that the translational movement of a microbubble in a complex three-dimensional geometry subjected to a standing acoustic field, can be predicted with the acoustic pressure gradient ... -

(2016)The purpose of this research is to verify that the translational movement of a microbubble in a complex three-dimensional geometry subjected to a standing acoustic field, can be predicted with the acoustic pressure gradient ... -
Generation of large-insert metagenomic libraries from subtropical hypersaline microbial mats and their screening for antibiotic resistance
(2012)Most of the microbial diversity in an environment cannot be studied through laboratory standard media culture methods. For this, an emerging science, coined “Metagenomics”, has been developed as an effort to access the ... -
Generators of monomial rotation symmetric Boolean functions and a characterization of monomial dihedral symmetric Boolean functions
(2023-06-28)Rotation symmetric Boolean functions were introduced by Pieprzyk and Qu in 1999. They proved that these functions have efficient and secured cryptographic implementations. In recent years, a subclass of rotation symmetric ... -
Genetic algorithm approach for reorder cycle time determination in multi-stage systems
(2003)The objective of this research is to provide a genetic algorithm to determine the reorder cycle time for multi-stage serial and assembly systems. Demand for end item is assumed to occur at a constant and continuous rate. ... -
Genetic characterization of host-microbiome-pathogen dynamics in ancient Amerindians of Punta Candelero, Puerto Rico
(2020-10-27)This thesis seeks to address the deficit of ancestral human references from the tropics, specifically the Caribbean, by adding genetic (genomic and microbiomic) information from the ancient Puerto Rican Amerindian population ... -
Genetic commonalities of autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia
(2019-01-23)The characterization of a disease through the detection of differentially expressed genes is of interest for early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and prediction. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Schizophrenia (SCZ) ... -
Genetic differentiation of Eastern And Western Atlantic Octopus vulgaris
(2010)Octopus vulgaris is an important species in cephalopod fisheries and also in understanding population regulation in marine invertebrates. Despite its importance, little is known about its distribution and genetic connectivity ... -
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) accessions in Puerto Rico
(2010)Cassava is consumed daily by 600 million people living in the poorest places in Africa, Asia and South America. Natural genetic variation that exists among different cultivars of cassava has been studied in order to ... -
Genetic diversity and population structure of Caribbean marine invertebrates
(2009-12)Natural populations of many marine invertebrates are under pressure by fisheries due to the increasing demand and unit prices leading to overexploitation. I examined the genetic variation of two marine invertebrates: the ...
