Open-Ended Problem-Solving Skills In Thermal-Fluids Engineering, Nikos J. Mourtos, Nicole Dejong-Okamoto, Jinny Rhee Jan 2004

Open-Ended Problem-Solving Skills In Thermal-Fluids Engineering, Nikos J. Mourtos, Nicole Dejong-Okamoto, Jinny Rhee

Faculty Publications

Problem-solving skills have always been important in many professions. However, ABET EC 2000 recently placed a new focus on these skills in engineering education with outcome 3e, which states that engineering graduates must have an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. Problem-solving is defined as a process used to obtain a best answer to an unknown or a decision that is subject to some constraints. Problem-solving is not the same as textbook exercise solving, which is very common in engineering curricula. In the article, the authors first define engineering problem-solving and, in particular, what it means to identify …

Relation Between Increased Transmision In Xas And Increase In Abrikosov Vortices As T→Tc, J. Chigvinadze, G. Mamniashvilli, Juana Acrivos Jan 2004

Relation Between Increased Transmision In Xas And Increase In Abrikosov Vortices As T→Tc, J. Chigvinadze, G. Mamniashvilli, Juana Acrivos

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

The increased transmission, observed in the EXAFS region of their X-ray absorption spectra, as cuprate materials go through the superconducting transition temperature Tc is correlated with a critical increase in Abrikosov Vortex expulsion in zero magnetic field as the temperature T →Tc.


Pokémon® Cards And The Shortest Common Superstring, Mark Stamp, Austin Stamp Jan 2004

Pokémon® Cards And The Shortest Common Superstring, Mark Stamp, Austin Stamp

Faculty Publications, Computer Science

Evidence is presented that certain sequences of Pokémon cards are determined by selecting consecutive elements from a longer sequence. We then consider the problem of recovering the shortest common superstring (SCS), i.e., the shortest string that contains each of the Pokémon card sequences as a consecutive substring. The SCS problem arises in many applications, most notably in DNA sequencing.


Lanthanide Spectroscopic Studies Of The Dinuclear And Mg(Ii)-Dependent Pvuii Restriction Endonuclease, Gilles Muller, L. M. Bowen, J. P. Riehl, C. M. Dupureur Jan 2004

Lanthanide Spectroscopic Studies Of The Dinuclear And Mg(Ii)-Dependent Pvuii Restriction Endonuclease, Gilles Muller, L. M. Bowen, J. P. Riehl, C. M. Dupureur

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

Type II restriction enzymes are homodimeric systems that bind four to eight base pair palindromic recognition sequences of DNA and catalyze metal ion-dependent phosphodiester cleavage. While Mg(II) is required for cleavage in these enzymes, in some systems Ca(II) promotes avid substrate binding and sequence discrimination. These properties make them useful model systems for understanding the roles of alkaline earth metal ions in nucleic acid processing. We have previously shown that two Ca(II) ions stimulate DNA binding by PvuII endonuclease and that the trivalent lanthanide ions Tb(III) and Eu(III) support subnanomolar DNA binding in this system. Here we capitalize on this …


Theory And Experiments: Scf Calculations/Xrd/Enhanced Scattering/Pld In Ybco7-D Nano Film, H. Sahibudeen, M. Navacerrada, Juana Acrivos Jan 2004

Theory And Experiments: Scf Calculations/Xrd/Enhanced Scattering/Pld In Ybco7-D Nano Film, H. Sahibudeen, M. Navacerrada, Juana Acrivos

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

X-Ray diffraction above and below the transition temperature to superconductivity Tc are correlated using SCF-MOLECOLE computations that describe the CuO2 layer (fig. 1) in the field of 9 unit cells of YBa2Cu3O7. The MO symmetry, charge transfer and OAOB bond mobility are compared to the data using the highest occupiedmolecular orbitals, MO-i (HOMO=MO0) bases to construct the layer tight-binding extended state.


Theory And History Of Social Indicators With Demonstration, David Edward Roemer Jan 2004

Theory And History Of Social Indicators With Demonstration, David Edward Roemer

Master's Projects

This planning report outlines the history and evolution of social indicators into community indicators and examines their use in regional and urban planning. Second, this planning report is a study of the uses and types of indicators that have been, and are being, used for planning at the regional and community level. As such, this report also examines what it means for indicators to be appropriate” and describes how they may also be misused. Third, this report demonstrates the recreation of a Santa Clara County social indicator index based on a 1984 published report updated to the year 2000. The …

Rectification Of Thermal Fluctuations In Ideal Gases, Alejandro Garcia, P. Meurs, C. Van De Broeck Jan 2004

Rectification Of Thermal Fluctuations In Ideal Gases, Alejandro Garcia, P. Meurs, C. Van De Broeck

Faculty Publications

We calculate the systematic average speed of the adiabatic piston and a thermal Brownian motor, introduced by C. Van den Broeck, R. Kawai and P. Meurs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 090601 (2004)], by an expansion of the Boltzmann equation and compare with the exact numerical solution.

A Stochastic Sediment Delivery Model For A Steep Mediterranean Landscape, Emmanuel Gabet, Thomas Dunne Sep 2003

A Stochastic Sediment Delivery Model For A Steep Mediterranean Landscape, Emmanuel Gabet, Thomas Dunne

Faculty Publications

It is a truism in geomorphology that climatic events operate on a landscape to drive sediment transport processes, yet few investigations have formally linked climate and terrain characteristics with geomorphological processes. In this study, we incorporate sediment transport equations derived from fieldwork into a computer model that predicts the delivery of sediment from hillslopes in a steep Mediterranean landscape near Santa Barbara, California. The sediment transport equations are driven by rainstorms and fires that are stochastically generated from probability distributions. The model is used to compare the rates and processes of sediment delivery under two vegetation types: coastal sage scrub …
