Design Of Strictly Positive Real, Fixed-Order Dynamic Compensators, Chaouki T. Abdallah, M. Jacobus, M. Jamshidi, Peter Dorato, D. Bernstein
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
The authors present sufficient conditions for the design of strictly positive real (SPR), fixed-order dynamic compensators. The primary motivation for designing SPR compensators is for application to positive real (PR) plants. When an SPR compensator is connected to a PR plant in a negative feedback configuration, the closed loop is guaranteed stable for arbitrary plant variations as long as the plant remains PR. Equations that are a modified form of the optimal projection equations, with the separation principle not holding in either the full- or reduced-order case, are given. A solution to the design equations is shown to exist when …
A Training Module For The Integration Of Text, Scanned Graphics, And Computer-Generated Artwork Into A Page Layout Program On A Macintosh Design System, Linda A. Jackson
A Training Module For The Integration Of Text, Scanned Graphics, And Computer-Generated Artwork Into A Page Layout Program On A Macintosh Design System, Linda A. Jackson
Theses
The purpose of this study is to develop a training module for integrating text, artwork, and graphics into a page layout program. Currently, the information for successful integration must be referenced from several sources. By having the key elements of integration in one volume, users attempting to layout and/or design a publication using these programs will be able to proceed quickly with fewer technical problems. Rapid growth is predicted for computer-based tools in graphic design studios, advertising agencies, and magazines which normally use computer design stations. These computer design stations require proper training to be used cost effectively. Consequently, training …

An area of magnificent natural surroundings in the northwestern area of Fort Worth is the location for the museum. The principal feature is the exterior path that traverses the site as a hollowed-out section of land, making it one with the land. The retaining walls form the facades of the exhibition and ancillary spaces of the museum. An interior path snakes through a continuously torqued plane that twists from a horizontal to a vertical position. Instead of …
Comparison Of Methods For Generation Of Absolute Reflectance Factor Measurements For Brdf Studies, Xiaofan Feng
Comparison Of Methods For Generation Of Absolute Reflectance Factor Measurements For Brdf Studies, Xiaofan Feng
Theses
For remote sensing applications, there is a need for knowledge concerning the reflectance properties of natural and man-made materials as a function of measurement geometry and wavelength. This information is used to determine the so-called bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). This study is intended to generate an absolute bidirectional reflectance factor for BRDF studies. This is accomplished by development of a goniospectroradiometer which can simulate any source-sensor-target geometry. The spectral range is from visible to near- infrared (2500 nm) with a spectral resolution of 10 nm. The study involves both theoretical and experimental work for calibration of BRDF by: (1) …
Relationship Between Chromatographic Retention And Donor And Acceptor Numbers, Peter J. Michelsen
Relationship Between Chromatographic Retention And Donor And Acceptor Numbers, Peter J. Michelsen
Theses
The prediction of chromatographic retention times for a wide range of chemical compounds has been a subject of interest and intense study during the past few decades. Several of these studies are discussed, in particular those which utilize empirical parameters of solvent polarity in a correlation to chromatographic retention. Several of these empirical scales of solvent polarity are discussed in detail. The compilation of accurate acceptor and donor numbers is thoroughly discussed. Correlation of some of these empirical parameters to the solvent's normal phase liquid chromatographic retention was attempted. The multiple variable correlation equation which resulted in the best correlation …

My work comes from my feelings about abortion. It is a difficult situation for all involved. It is a painful decision for a woman to make, one which not only affects her life but also that of a fetus and other people close to her. I wanted to inform others about the chaotic and complicated sadness that abortion brings to one experiencing it. A woman may ask, "Why do I have to make this decision? I have always tried to be a good person. Why me? Why woman? Why not men? Who's fault is this? I feel trapped, but in …
A Ccd Based Bidirectional Spectral Reflectance Field Instrument, Michael H. Davis
A Ccd Based Bidirectional Spectral Reflectance Field Instrument, Michael H. Davis
Theses
Accurate interpretation and maximum use of multispectral data acquired from spaceborne and aircraft instruments require increased knowledge and understanding of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of earth scene elements. Knowledge of the relationships between the spectral characteristics and important parameters of earth surface features can best be obtained by carefully controlled studies over areas, fields or plots where complete data describing the condition of targets is attainable and where frequent, timely spectral measurements can be made. The Bidirectional Spectral Reflectometer (BuSTeR) described in this thesis was developed to provide the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Laboratory (DIRS) with the …

American Dreams, Mark Lyons
American Dreams, Mark Lyons
Theses
The intention of this thesis is to investigate metaphorical narratives about experiences in American life. The commentaries depict cultural ironies and satirical imagery of everyday activity. The vessel is used as a stage for these metaphors. I used various glazes, stains, and atmospheres in firing, multiple techniques in construction, and a collection of common historical and personal imagery in each piece. A narrative environment appeared to be the best mechanism to convey statements in the vessels. This body of work reflects many of the experiences I had as a child. These experiences translate into many of the values our society …

Three-Dimensional Longwave Infrared Synthetic Image Generation Incorporating Angular Emissivity Effects Using Ray-Tracing Techniques, Eric Shor, Carl Salvaggio, John Schott
Three-Dimensional Longwave Infrared Synthetic Image Generation Incorporating Angular Emissivity Effects Using Ray-Tracing Techniques, Eric Shor, Carl Salvaggio, John Schott
Presentations and other scholarship
A technique for longwave infrared (LWIR) synthetic image generation (510) is shown which yields improved radiomeiric accuracy in the 8-14 .tm bandpass. This process uses a modified LOWTRAN 6 atmospheric transmission/upwelled radiance code and computer graphics ray-tracing techniques. A scene is created by placing faceted objects into world coordinates with rotation, translation, and scaling parameters. Each facet is assigned a material index and temperature. The material index points to optical properties for that material. The modified LOWTRAN 6 code incorporates sensor response function when computing tables of the atmospheric transmission and upwelled and downwelled radiances. A ray-traced image is then …

Caplin & Drysdale, Chartered V. United States: Seizing Attorney Fees-Frozen Assets Or Frozen Justice? The Sixth Amendment Right To Counsel Of Choice Is Given The Cold Shoulder, Anthony G. Vella
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This note examines the United States Supreme Court decision that found confiscation of criminal defense attorney fees under RICO and the continuing criminal enterprise statutes is permissible under the sixth amendment. The Court's reasoning is presented in this note. The note analyzes the Court's decision through the eyes of the dissenters and other commentators opposed to the result. The author concludes that this decision has rendered the sixth amendment right to counsel of choice an insubstantial right and damaged the integrity of the adversary system in our courts.

Clayton V. Place: Dancing Around The Establishment Clause -- Religion In The Public Schools, Paul T. Donahue
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This note examines the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeal's decision refusing to strike down a public school board rule which prohibited social dancing inside the public schools of Purdy, Missouri. The issue facing the court was how far local religious groups could go in influencing public school policy. The court of appeals reversed the ruling of the trial court which found that the prohibition on social dancing was a result of local religious pressure and thus in violation of the Establishment Clause of the Federal Constitution. The author concludes that the decision of the court of appeals ignored the power …

Waiver Of Constitutional Issues In Criminal Cases: Confusion In The Illinois Supreme Court, Timothy P. O'Neill
Northern Illinois University Law Review
For years, a serious problem has faced an Illinois criminal defendant who challenged the constitutionality of the statute supporting his conviction for the first time on appeal. Two contradictory lines of Illinois Supreme Court authority came to opposite conclusions on whether the issue had been waived. This article examines the failure of the Illinois Supreme Court squarely to confront this issue.
When Self Abuse Becomes Child Abuse: The Need For Coercive Prenatal Government Action In Response To The Cocaine Baby Problem, Kevin Drendel
When Self Abuse Becomes Child Abuse: The Need For Coercive Prenatal Government Action In Response To The Cocaine Baby Problem, Kevin Drendel
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This Commentary identifies prenatal drug exposure of infants as a problem with which our society must come to terms. The judicial system is capable of providing solutions, but a void of appropriate legislation hampers that ability. Among the legal vehicles available are criminal laws, child abuse and neglect laws, civil and criminal injunctions, and involuntary commitment laws. A balancing of the maternal, societal, and fetal interests involved can be accomplished on a case by case basis in the absence of enabling and guiding legislation. However, legislation in this highly sensitive area is a better way. This commentary explores the problem, …
Analysis Of Umberger's Theory For Subtractive Color Reproduction, Paul R. Bartel
Analysis Of Umberger's Theory For Subtractive Color Reproduction, Paul R. Bartel
Theses
A method, proposed by Umberger, for the identification of additive stimuli representative of the red, green, and blue primaries controlled by dyes obeying Beer's law was examined. The primary stability study suggests that for a set of colors created of various dye concentrations, the pattern of Umberger's primary distribution is a translation of the original colors on a chromaticity diagram. Results of a theoretical color reproduction study where the colormatching functions of Umberger's primaries were assumed as the color reproduction system's spectral sensitivities indicate an increase in metric chroma of reproduced colors. Color reproduction errors for a large number of …
Conventional And Differential Scanning Optical Microscopy Using Higher-Order Gaussian-Hermite Beam Patterns, Peter Chrusch
Conventional And Differential Scanning Optical Microscopy Using Higher-Order Gaussian-Hermite Beam Patterns, Peter Chrusch
Theses
This thesis addresses the problem of contrast in scanning optical microscopy by resorting to differential imaging. The use of a unique, two-wavelength laser as the coherent source in a scanning format is investigated. In particular, it is shown that the TEM10 mode of this laser provides a novel method for performing simultaneous conventional and differential microscopy. Results are presented on the use of the laser for performing differential imaging. In addition, the technique is extended to encompass a second, tunable, laser. Rather than performing electronic differentiation, the TEMi0 mode of this, second, laser provides an in-situ, optical differential microscope. Two …
The Design, Fabrication, And Test Of A Cmos Operational Amplifier, Edward P. Sayre
The Design, Fabrication, And Test Of A Cmos Operational Amplifier, Edward P. Sayre
Theses
The topic of this thesis is the design, fabrication, and testing of a CMOS operational Amplifier. This Operational Amplifier was first realized as a class design project for Advanced Analog IC design. Specifications for the device performance were determined by Dr. Fuller and Edward Sayre to enable the op-amp to be incorporated into a larger more complex design. The specifications of the operational amplifier were made to enable design integration into an amplifier which would operate in the audio frequency range. The main constraints placed on the design of the op-amp were low power consumption and a relatively moderate gain.

Modification Of Organic Polymers With Vacuum Ultraviolet Radiation From Inert Gas Plasmas Rotating In A Magnetic Field, Jian-Xin Chen
Theses
DC arc plasmas containing He and Ar, which were made to rotate by the application of a magnetic field, were used for generating vacuum UV light (VUV) to modify polymer surfaces. Polymers such as poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene copolymer (FEP), polyimide (PI), UPDLEX-S and UPILEX-R were modified with and without optical filters for different exposure times. PTFE was also exposed to helium and argon arc plasmas at different exposure temperatures. After the treatment, the polymerfilms were measured by weight loss, contact angle and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Copper was sputter deposited onto some of the treated samples and the …

Aggression And Symbols Of Power, Karen Kuhn
Theses
Weapons are one of the oldest and most significant forms of artifacts, occurring in virtually all human cultures. Weapons and their technology often determine power structures, not only by brute force of arms, but by long standing respect to ritual aggression. In many cultures, weapons have become abstracted and formalized to become symbols of power and authority, as in a ruler 's scepter, which is a glorified war club. Jewelry functions in much the same manner, proclaiming the social status of the wearer, although in the western world, we have lost most of the symbolic meaning of our jewelry; for …
