Problems on Non-Equilibrium Statistical Physics
(2011-08-08)
Four problems in non-equilibrium statistical physics are investigated: 1. The
thermodynamics of single-photon gas; 2. Energy of the ground state in Multi-electron
atoms; 3. Energy state of the H2 molecule; and 4. The ...
Security Schemes for Wireless Sensor Networks with Mobile Sink
(2011-08-08)
Mobile sinks are vital in many wireless sensor applications for efficient data collection,
data querying, and localized sensor reprogramming. Mobile sinks prolong the lifetime of
a sensor network. However, when sensor ...
Performance Evaluation of a Cascaded H-Bridge Multi Level Inverter Fed BLDC Motor Drive in an Electric Vehicle
(2011-08-08)
The automobile industry is moving fast towards Electric Vehicles (EV); however this paradigm shift is currently making its smooth transition through the phase of Hybrid Electric Vehicles. There is an ever-growing need for ...
Variability in Long-Wave Runup as a Function of Nearshore Bathymetric Features
(2011-08-08)
Beaches and barrier islands are vulnerable to extreme storm events, such as hurricanes, that can cause severe erosion and overwash to the system. Having dunes and a wide beach in front of coastal infrastructure can provide ...
The Role of Parental Emotional Support in the Development of Adolescents' Deviant Identity
(2011-08-08)
A specific number sociological theories and empirical studies suggest that
deviant identity is the result of being formally or informally sanctioned by social
audiences. The process by which individuals develop a deviant ...

(2011-08-08)
Recruiting talented student-athletes is integral to the success of an athletics
program. Yet, some universities and individuals therein have been willing to violate
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recruiting ...
Molecular Dynamic Simulation of Thermo-Mechanical Properties of Ultra-Thin Poly(methyl methacrylate) Films
(2011-08-08)
The thermal conductivity of PMMA films with thicknesses from 5 to 50 nanometers and
layered over a treated silicon substrate is explored numerically by the application of the
reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics ...
Aristotle's Moral Absolutes: A Preliminary Look
(2011-08-08)
In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle introduces his Doctrine of the Mean, where he argues that virtue is the mean between two extremes, the mean between excess and deficiency. However, Aristotle mentions actions whose ...
Analysis of Compressible and Incompressible Flows Through See-through Labyrinth Seals
(2011-08-08)
The labyrinth seal is a non-contact annular type sealing device used to reduce the internal leakage of the working fluid which is caused by the pressure difference between each stage in a turbomachine. Reducing the leakage ...
