Using a Regional Chemical Transport Model for the Analysis of Gaseous and Particulate Air Pollutants in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area
(2012-02-14)
Air quality in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) is the subject of many studies due to concerns from high emissions and their adverse effects on public health and the environment. In this study, a high resolution ...
A Comprehensive Comparison Between Angles-Only Initial Orbit Determination Techniques
(2012-02-14)
During the last two centuries many methods have been proposed to solve the angles-only initial orbit determination problem. As this problem continues to be relevant as an initial estimate is needed before high accuracy ...

This manuscript presents the author's experience as a fulltime graduate engineer at Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI), a professional engineering an servicebased consulting firm, as a Record of Study (ROS) for the Doctor of ...
Co-teaching: Using the CO-ACT to Identify Quality Co-teach Practices and Predict Academic Outcomes for Students with Disabilities
(2012-02-14)
This research was designed to examine patterns related to quality of Co-teach implementation, as evidenced by Co-teacher responses to the Colorado Assessment of Co-teaching (CO-ACT), and the usefulness of the CO-ACT in ...
An Adaptive Angular Discretization Method for Neutral-Particle Transport in Three-Dimensional Geometries
(2012-02-14)
In this dissertation, we discuss an adaptive angular discretization scheme for
the neutral-particle transport equation in three dimensions. We mesh the direction
domain by dividing the faces of a regular octahedron into ...
Linearization and Efficiency Enhancement Techniques for RF and Baseband Analog Circuits
(2012-02-14)
High linearity transmitters and receivers should be used to efficiently utilize the available channel bandwidth. Power consumption is also a critical factor that determines the battery life of portable devices and wireless ...
Ion Crystals Produced by Laser and Sympathetic Cooling in a Linear RF Ion Trap
(2012-02-14)
A detailed investigation of ion crystals produced by laser and sympathetic cooling in a linear RF trap has been conducted.
The laser cooling methods were examined and applied to the trapped ^24Mg^(positive) ions. The ...
Contributions to an Improved Oxygen and Thermal Transport Model and Development of Fatigue Analysis Software for Asphalt Pavements
(2012-02-14)
Fatigue cracking is one primary distress in asphalt pavements, dominant
especially in later years of service. Prediction of mixture fatigue resistance is critical for
various applications, e.g., pavement design and ...
A Cognitive Phased Array Using Smart Phone Control
(2012-07-16)
Cognitive radio networks require the use of computational resources to reconfigure transmit/receive parameters to improve communication quality of service or efficiency. Recent emergence of smart phones has made these ...
A Beggar’s Ride: Tales From Within the Herd
(2012-02-14)
This story suite is a work of autobiographical fiction, a coming of age tale which uses a young girl’s relationship to horses—along with various people and places connected to the horse world—as its narrative theme. The ...
