Dynamic Response of a Rotor-air Bearing System Due to Base Induced Periodic Motions
(2010-01-14)
Oil-free microturbomachinery (MTM) are inevitably subjected to base or
foundation excitations: multiple periodic load excitations from internal combustion (IC)
engines in turbochargers, for example. Too large base excitations ...
Using Precisionism Within American Modern Art as Stylistic Inspiration for 3D Digital Works
(2010-01-14)
This thesis presents the analysis of artistic techniques of paintings from the Precisionist movement and the implementation of the results of the analysis in the creation of three new works of art using digital media. ...
Path Planning Algorithms for Multiple Heterogeneous Vehicles
(2010-01-16)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for surveillance
in civil and military applications. Vehicles built for this purpose vary in their
sensing capabilities, speed and maneuverability. It is ...
Evaluation of Alternative Cooking and Cooling Procedures for Large, Intact Meat Products to Achieve Lethality and Stabilization Microbiological Performance Standards
(2010-01-16)
This study was conducted to determine if alternative heating times and slower
cooling times, other than those defined by FSIS, could be utilized and still comply with
FSIS performance standards. Large (10.43 to 12.25 kg), ...
Effects of Shape and Size of Gold Nanoparticles on the Properties of Colloid and Nanocomposite
(2010-01-16)
For more than a decade nanomaterials have attained huge attraction owing to the exceptionally different and excellent characteristics as compared to their bulk form. In the present research, we focus on understanding the ...
Experimental Two-Phase Flow Characterization of Subcooled Boiling in a Rectangular Channel
(2010-01-16)
On the efforts to provide a reliable source of experimental information on turbulent
subcooled boiling ow, time resolved Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) experiments
were carried out using HFE-301 refrigerant ow through ...
Filter Design Considerations for High Performance Continuous-Time Low-Pass Sigma-Delta ADC
(2011-02-22)
Continuous-time filters are critical components in the implementation of large bandwidth, high frequency, and high resolution continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta (ΣΔ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The loop filter defines ...
Uncertainty Propagation in Hypersonic Flight Dynamics and Comparison of Different Methods
(2010-01-16)
In this work we present a novel computational framework for analyzing evolution
of uncertainty in state trajectories of a hypersonic air vehicle due to uncertainty in
initial conditions and other system parameters. The ...
Approaches to the Use of Geometry in Architecture: A study of the works of Andrea Palladio, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Frank Gehry
(2010-01-16)
Geometry deals with form, shape, and measurement and is a part of mathematics
where visual thought is dominant. Both design and construction in architecture deal with
visualization, and architects constantly employ geometry. ...
Historical Demography and Genetic Population Structure of the Blackfin Tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico
(2010-01-16)
Little is known about the population structure and genetic variability of blackfin
tuna despite catch increases over the past 25 years. In this thesis, levels of genetic
variation contained in 323bp of the mitochondrial ...
