The Mughal Empire lasted from 1526 until 1858 in present day Northern India and
Pakistan, but was under strong imperial control until 1707. The Mughal emperors were
Islamic invaders who combined their culture with that of ...
Calculating Highly Oscillatory Integrals by Quadrature Methods
(2012-04-24)
Highly oscillatory integrals of the form $I(f)=\int_{0}^{\infty} dx f(x) e^{i \omega g(x)}$ arise in various problems in dynamics, image analysis, optics, and other fields of physics and mathematics. Conventional approximation ...
Usage of Friction-damped Braced Frames for Seismic Vibration Control
(2012-04-16)
This study presents the results of experimental work that examines the functionality of friction-damped braced frames during seismic events. The simplicity and efficacy of this friction device as a means of passive vibration ...
Parental Differences in Infant-Directed Emotional Communication
(2012-04-30)
Past research on parent- infant communication has failed to examine how parents communicate emotions differently and the relationships that infant sex and infant attachment may have with parental communication. The present ...
Root Organic Acid Exudation As A Physiological Cause For Soil Phosphorus Deficiency Tolerance In Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp (Cowpea) Lines
(2012-04-18)
Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are not readily available in underdeveloped countries, and excessive P application can lead to problems such as eutrophication. The nonrenewable nature of P mined for use in fertilizers raises ...
ADVANCED WIRELESS CHARGING SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE ELECTRIC DEVICES
(2012-04-19)
This paper presents a wireless charging system for portable electric devices. The important impacts of wireless charging systems on the global environment are first examined, and the two basic methods for wireless charging ...
Optical Design of a Red Sensitive Spectrograph
(2012-04-22)
We present a preliminary design for a red-sensitive spectrograph. The spectrograph is optimized to operate over the 600-1000nm spectral range at a resolution of ~2000 and is designed specifically for the 2.7-m Harlan J. ...
DESIGN OF A REAL-TIME DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING AUDIO PROCESSING TECHNIQUE
(2012-04-24)
This thesis outlines the design of a real-time digital signal processing technique for pitch detection and analysis via spectral analysis. A sound’s musical pitch can be determined from its fundamental frequency, and a ...
A Study of Quintessential Inflation
(2012-04-24)
I present an analysis of a class of Dark Energy models called Quintessential Inflation Models. Such models are motivated by the common mathematical formalism describing the early expansion of the universe, i.e. inflation, ...
Taxonomy and Feeding Biology of Net-winged Midges in Dominica
(2012-04-30)
One species of net-winged midge, belonging to the family Blephariceridae, is known from the island of Dominica. This project involved examining specimens brought back from Dominica. We compared the morphology of male and ...
