Parathyroid Hormone And Cell Signaling In Bone Remodeling, Christina Battista
Parathyroid Hormone And Cell Signaling In Bone Remodeling, Christina Battista
Theses
Many mathematical models relevant to osteoporosis have been developed and studied. Although osteoclasts and osteoblasts are the crucial variables in bone resorption and bone formation, PTH can cause changes in the ratio of these cells and therefore should be studied more closely. Some of the current models for osteoporosis will be analyzed in this thesis as well as amended to account for the phenomenon that occurs with various methods of PTH administration. By administering PTH in either pulsatile or continuous doses, we obtain very different results. When administered in a continuous fashion, the body experiences a net bone loss over …

A Vision Of Sound: A 3d Visualization Of Pipe Organ Music, Donna Schichler
Theses
My goal is to create a 3D animation that illustrates the movements and patterns produced in the air when Bach's Chromatic Fugue is played on a pipe organ. By combining the visual element of swirling patterns inspired by pipe organ acoustics simulation with imagery that the music evokes in the mind, I aim to present a surrealistic soundscape that visually depicts the boundless creative energy and freedom of music and mind combined. I hope to create an animation that is aesthetically interesting and to inspire imagination in viewer.
The Impact Of Computer Self-Efficacy And Technology Dependence On Computer-Related Technostress: A Social Cognitive Theory Perspective, Qin Shu, Qiang Tu, Kanliang Wang
The Impact Of Computer Self-Efficacy And Technology Dependence On Computer-Related Technostress: A Social Cognitive Theory Perspective, Qin Shu, Qiang Tu, Kanliang Wang
Articles
Professionals and end users of computers often experience being constantly surrounded by modern technology. One side effect of modern technology is termed technostress, which refers to the “negative impact on attitudes, thoughts, behaviors, or body physiology that is caused either directly or indirectly by technology” (Well and Rosen, 1997). Based on social cognitive theory, this study developed a conceptual model in which computer-related technostress was studied as consequences of computer self-efficacy and technology dependence. Results show that (a) employees with higher level of computer self-efficacy have lower level of computer-related technostress, (b) employees with higher level of technology dependence have …

George C Marshall: An Enduring Model Of Leadership Effectiveness, Jack Clarcq, Richard Demartino, Michael E. Palanski
George C Marshall: An Enduring Model Of Leadership Effectiveness, Jack Clarcq, Richard Demartino, Michael E. Palanski
Articles
General George C. Marshall is universally recognized as a paragon of leadership. Marshall’s effectiveness as the leader of the U.S. Army during World War II, the State Department during the early post-war era, and the Defense Department during the Korean War are well known and documented. As a result of his many accomplishments, a number of researchers and historians have explored traits and factors that underlie Marshall’s success. While many of these efforts provide insight into Marshall’s leadership style, none employ original data (interviews) specifically focused on leadership, management, and character. This paper is based on interviews conducted in 1998 …
Myths, Emily Zeller
Myths, Emily Zeller
Theses
In this thesis I address a personal relationship with nature, femininity, and coming-of-age in a patriarchal family through videos that rely on a synthesized definition of myth to create multi-layered meaning with roots in the greater feminine discourse. I create my own unique interpretation of myth by combining elements of traditional Greek mythology, semiotic mythology, and the art and poems centered around the myth of the female experience. Imbuing my videos with this mythic quality allows the objects and actions depicted to transcend their signifiers, birthing multi-layered meaning and encouraging a closer examination and personal connection with the viewer. My …
Design Of Passive Suspension System With Non-Linear Springs Using B-Spline Collocation Method, Rahul Jhaveri
Design Of Passive Suspension System With Non-Linear Springs Using B-Spline Collocation Method, Rahul Jhaveri
Theses
The issue of vibration isolation challenges engineers' designs across the engineering spectrum. From an engineering standpoint, vibration control impacts the fields of transportation, manufacturing, construction and mechanical design. Dynamic systems produce vibrations for various reasons i.e. rotating unbalanced masses (high speed turbines); inertia of reciprocating components (internal combustion engines); irregular rolling contact (automobiles) or induced eddy current (locomotives) vibrations. In most cases, vibrations cause only physical discomfort and/or loss of accuracy. But in extreme cases, transmitted forces may cause a body to undergo high amplitude resonant vibrations, leading to high cyclic stresses and imminent fatigue failure resulting in a catastrophic …

Event Horizons, Gravitational Waves And Astrophysical Kicks In Black-Hole Spacetimes, J. Marcelo Ponce Castro
Theses
In this thesis we use computational techniques (numerical simulations) to study different stages of black hole mergers. A first project describes topological properties of the main performer of this play, the black hole and its event horizon. We investigate three configurations: a continuum ring singularity, a 'discretized' ring (black holes arranged on a ring), and a linear distribution of black holes. We evolve each of the corresponding spacetimes forward and then backwards in time, searching for the respective event horizons. We find some evidence, based on configurations of multiple BHs arranged in a ring, that this configuration leads to singular …
Photon Manipulation In Silicon Nanophotonic Circuits, Ali Elshaari
Photon Manipulation In Silicon Nanophotonic Circuits, Ali Elshaari
Theses
Quantum-based communication systems can potentially achieve the ultimate security from eavesdropping and greatly reduce the operating powers on chip. Light-speed transmission, noise immunity, and low noise properties make photons indispensable for quantum communication to transfer a quantum state through a transmission line. Furthermore, the field of silicon nanophotonics is fast growing field which is driven by the attractive and promising improvements it has to offer in high speed communication systems and on chip optical interconnects. Consequently, there is a high demand to develop the building blocks for photon manipulation in silicon nanophotonic circuits. The goal of the work is to …
An Economic Approach To The Ecological Issues Of Urban Stormwater Runoff: A Case Study Of The Allen Creek Watershed In Monroe County, New York, Kelly Hellman
Theses
Urban stormwater runoff is excess runoff created by increased imperviousness in an urbanized watershed and can have significant impacts on both water quantity and quality. Natural communities and human communities are faced with damages that occur as a result of the change in the type and magnitude of stormwater runoff flows, including but not limited to increased flooding and degradation of natural aquatic systems. Therefore, from both an economic and ecological perspective, it is important that urban planners effectively manage excess stormwater runoff. This paper details the development of an ecological-economic model that can be used to guide urban planners …
A Search For Mri Diffusion Coefficient Standards, Hongmei Yuan
A Search For Mri Diffusion Coefficient Standards, Hongmei Yuan
Theses
Diffusion coefficients (D) can be readily measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instruments. Operators of these instruments often utilize standards with known diffusion coefficients to rapidly and conveniently test the performance of the NMR or MRI system to measure diffusion. A variety of these standards have been proposed in the scientific literature. This thesis describes a diffusion standard based on water constrained by container geometry, specifically water between tightly packed, parallel glass fiber filaments. The restricted diffusion of water in this environment gives a diffusion coefficient which is selectable by the choice of data …

An Analysis Of Ethical Attitudes Of Family Business Owners In A Transitional Economy: The Case Of Kosovo, Robert Barbato, Robert Lussier, Matthew Sonfield
Presentations and other scholarship
A transitional economy provides an opportunity to examine the ethical attitudes of small businesses and family owned businesses. In this paper a survey of family businesses in Kosovo finds that family businesses do have different ethical attitudes than non-family businesses, although the differences are slight. Conflict among family members is associated with slightly improved ethical attitudes.

Wireless Body Area Network Platform Utilizing Energy-Efficient Routing Of Physiological Data, Alvaro Prieto
Wireless Body Area Network Platform Utilizing Energy-Efficient Routing Of Physiological Data, Alvaro Prieto
Theses
Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) consist of several wireless sensors located around a human body. These sensors may measure several biological signals, movement, and temperature. Due to major improvements in power consumption and constantly shrinking devices, WBANs are becoming ubiquitous. As a side effect present because of the small form factor of these devices, the battery size is limited. While the sensors themselves may be extremely power efficient, all of the measured data must be transmitted over a much less efficient wireless link. One benefit of WBANs is that they rarely include more than a dozen wireless devices over a …

Brownian Motion And Its Applications In Financial Mathematics, Vidyesh Vadhavkar
Brownian Motion And Its Applications In Financial Mathematics, Vidyesh Vadhavkar
Theses
Brownian Motion is one of the most useful tools in the arsenal of stochastic models. This phenomenon, named after the English botanist Robert Brown, was originally observed as the irregular motion exhibited by a small particle which is totally immersed in a liquid or gas. Since then it has been applied effectively in such areas as statistical goodness of fi t, analyzing stock price levels and quantum mechanics. In 1905, Albert Einstein first explained the phenomenon by assuming that such an immersed particle was continually being bombarded by the molecules in the surrounding medium. The mathematical theory of this important …

Human Reliability Analysis In Healthcare, Esa M. Rantanen, Joe Deeter
Human Reliability Analysis In Healthcare, Esa M. Rantanen, Joe Deeter
Articles
The problem of human error in healthcare is well documented. Other domains (such as transportation and energy) have used techniques and methods from the engineering disciplines to analyze and ultimately reduce instances of error. In New York State (NYS), the Department of Health (DOH) requires the use of one such method, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), in investigating and reporting the occurrence of and response to sentinel events by hospitals. Despite the use of the RCA technique in an attempt to identify and mitigate the root causes of error, the problem of human error contributing to sentinel events persists. Experts in …
