Polymer–Based Resonant Waveguide Grating Structure And Its Applications, Antonio Jou Xie
Polymer–Based Resonant Waveguide Grating Structure And Its Applications, Antonio Jou Xie
Dissertations and Theses
Resonance waveguide grating structures have been a subject of interest for several decades. This optical technique offers unique advantages when compared with other optical components. This stems from their relatively simple structure comprised of layers, as well as their high reflection efficiency within a narrow spectral bandwidth. Typical resonance waveguide grating structures that exhibit these characteristics are cost effective and fabricated with fewer materials than conventional multilayer resonance structures. Essentially, only a grating, waveguide, and substrate layer are required for its operation. In addition, unique spectral characteristics can be obtained by varying the grating and layer structure. Among these characteristics …
Design And Construction Of A Subcooled Boiling Flow Loop With An Internally Heated Vertical Annulus For Use In Testing Departure From Nucleate Boiling (Dnb), Joseph Kreynin
Dissertations and Theses
The design and testing of an apparatus to use in subcooled boiling flow experiments. A vertical annulus flow loop was design to mimic a rod used in a reactor boiler. The system was tested at different velocities and temperatures to verify it could be used in a range of experiments to try and match real world conditions. The system managed to produce the desired outcome of bubble growth in a desired location as well as run with the PIV system showing good prospect in the intended use of the experimental set up.
A Comprehensive View Of Electrosleep: The History, Finite Element Models And Future Directions, Berkan Guleyupoglu
A Comprehensive View Of Electrosleep: The History, Finite Element Models And Future Directions, Berkan Guleyupoglu
Dissertations and Theses
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) encompasses all methods of non-invasive current application to the brain used in research and clinical practice. We present the first comprehensive and technical review, explaining the evolution of tES in both terminology and dosage over the past 100 years of research to present day. Current transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation (tPCS) approaches such as Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) descended from Electrosleep (ES) through Cranial Electro-stimulation Therapy (CET), Transcerebral Electrotherapy (TCET), and NeuroElectric Therapy (NET) while others like Transcutaneous Cranial Electrical Stimulation (TCES) descended from Electroanesthesia (EA) through Limoge, and Interferential Stimulation. Prior …
Effect Of Ionic Liquid Electrolytes In Dsscs With Titanium Dioxide (Tio2) Inverse Opal Structures, Naomi S. Ramesar
Effect Of Ionic Liquid Electrolytes In Dsscs With Titanium Dioxide (Tio2) Inverse Opal Structures, Naomi S. Ramesar
Dissertations and Theses
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are low-cost alternatives to conventional solar cells that can work well in low-light conditions. Despite considerable study on improving the efficiency of DSSCs, the current liquid electrolyte cell has plateaued at a conversion efficiency of ~ 12%. A major problem with these cells regarding their applicability is the low viscosity and high volatility of the toxic electrolyte, i.e., acetonitrile, which cause leakage and volatilization. We propose that using ionic liquids (ILs), which are more viscous, less volatile, and conductive, may be more suitable electrolytes. However, one unwanted side effect of the higher viscosity of the ILs …

The Influence Of Human Rights Advocacy Networks On The Prosecution Of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence In International Criminal Courts, Jessica Welker
The Influence Of Human Rights Advocacy Networks On The Prosecution Of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence In International Criminal Courts, Jessica Welker
Dissertations and Theses
"This thesis explores how human rights advocacy organizations have influenced the increased prosecution of conflict-related sexual violence in international criminal courts. This thesis will use the cases of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC) to demonstrate that well-established international human rights non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and legal coalitions have been the primary actors in transnational human rights advocacy networks to influence the investigation and prosecution of conflict-related sexual violence in international criminal courts. The objective of the thesis is to focus on the major players in human …
Effective Utilization Of Foreign Aid In Counterinsurgency Operations, Gabriel Schickel
Effective Utilization Of Foreign Aid In Counterinsurgency Operations, Gabriel Schickel
Dissertations and Theses
The repercussions of September 11, 2011 have been felt worldwide and have drastically changed the paradigm in which countries operate today. They have justified two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and incursion into sovereign territories in pursuit of terrorists and insurgents. As insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan have continued to thrive, Coalition countries have been forced to adjust their approach to defeating non-conventional forces that they are largely not trained to fight. This has resulted in tactics that utilize what scholars have called “Smart Power,” a mixture of both hard and soft power. Foreign aid and its distribution in COIN …

Sonata Form In Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, Michele Kishlansky
Sonata Form In Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, Michele Kishlansky
Dissertations and Theses
"Charles Rosen, in his book, Sonata Forms, discusses the ways in which sonata form elevated pure instrumental music, gripping the attention of audiences “without the seductions of spectacle, the sentiments of poetry, and the emotions of drama, or even the dazzling technical virtuosity of singer and performer.”1 Sonata forms accomplished this by providing a clear analogy for dramatic action, containing an identifiable climax—a moment of maximum dramatic tension to which the first part of the work pushes towards and which the composer systematically resolves. Furthermore, Rosen writes: It is a closed form, without the static frame of ternary form; it …
