The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman Jan 1977

The Silicon Solar Cell As An Optical Detector, Stephen O. Saltsman

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The optical detector characteristics of a silicon solar cell are examined. A general equivalent circuit model is developed and typical parameter values are determined. A comparison is made between the photovoltaic and short circuit operating modes and the short circuit mode is shown to be preferable in terms of linearity, extended frequency response, and temperature stability. A method is developed to determine the noise characteristics of the amplifier-detector system used in the short circuit mode. The silicon solar cell is shown to be an economical alternative to standard photodiodes in low to medium data rate systems.

Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo Jan 1977

Behavior Modification Of Depression: A Review Of Theories And Research, Maria Cristina Lema De Cardozo

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

There is a need to find effective ways to treat depression, due to its high incidence and to the severity of its consequences. The first psychological treatment of depression came with the advent of psychoanalysis, but today the theories dealing with the etiology and treatment of depression range from genetic and biological approaches to an existential conceptualization. While briefly reviewing these various current approaches, the primary purpose of this paper is to present the behavioral/social learning approach to the understanding and treatment of depression. The specific theoretical formulations, methods of assessment and treatment approaches characteristic of the behavioral/social learning approach …

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf Jan 1977

Distributed Computing Systems: An Overview, Haim Schwarzkopf

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Associative processors, parallel processors, content addressable parallel processors, networks, and other architectures have been around the computing scene as "Distributed Processing", for some time now. Several hundred papers have been written discussing their use and design but so far no academic work has tried to summarize the field called "Distributed Processing" using a systems approach. This research report attempts to remedy this lack. It attempts to gather into one place information that existed as of late 1976 in a format easily understandable by managers and systems engineers. The report deals also with certain issues of centralization and decentralization of EDP …


Computer Simulation Of 911 Emergency Telephone System For Orange County, Florida, Ronald J. Veillette Jan 1977

Computer Simulation Of 911 Emergency Telephone System For Orange County, Florida, Ronald J. Veillette

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The State of Florida has mandated that a statewide 911 system be implemented, and the Department of General Services, Division of Communications, has performed a study of possible 911 system configurations for Orange County based on the findings of a study performed by the Stanford Research Institute for the whole of the State of Florida. The Orange County study determined operator manning levels of the primary law enforcement agencies involved in the system and response times to citizen calls for each of the configurations proposed. This research generated computer simulation models of the two most likely to be implemented configurations …

A Laser Hydrophone, Steven Kenneth Barnoske Jan 1977

A Laser Hydrophone, Steven Kenneth Barnoske

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report proposes a novel technique for measuring of acoustic fields in water. A Laser Hydrophone is proposed taking advantage of the properties of Total Internal Reflection. A theoretical analysis of the idea is presented followed by a prediction of the operating characteristics of an actual system. Actual data were taken with the proposed system and it is compared to the predicted.

Simulation Of A Fiber-Optical Communication System, Patricia Kay Scheffel Jan 1977

Simulation Of A Fiber-Optical Communication System, Patricia Kay Scheffel

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The feasibility of analyzing an optical communication system using standard electronic circuit analysis programs such as SCEPTRE and ASTAP is demonstrated in this thesis. The transmitter (laser and modulator) and receiver (detector and amplifier) are modelled using equivalent circuits for the various components. The transmission medium (optical fiber) is modelled using an impulse response function. Two fibers are investigated--a step-index fiber and a square-law (parabolic index) fiber.


Comparative Histology Of The Respiratory Tract Of Normal Peromyscus Floridanus And P. Gossypinus And Effects Of Exposure To Solid Rocket Motor Fuel Exhaust On P. Gossypinus, Terry Lee Bitner Jan 1977

Comparative Histology Of The Respiratory Tract Of Normal Peromyscus Floridanus And P. Gossypinus And Effects Of Exposure To Solid Rocket Motor Fuel Exhaust On P. Gossypinus, Terry Lee Bitner

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Microscopic examination of the tracheal dimensions of normal Florida mice (Peromyscus floridanus) and cotton mice (P. gossypinus) showed no significant differences between the two species, but external examination showed the tracheal length of the Florida mouse to be longer than that of the cotton mouse. Microscopic examination of the intrapulmonary apparatus (bronchioles, alveolar ducts, atria, and alveoli) of normal Florida and cotton mice showed no significant differences in measurements between the two species. Cotton mice were exposed to exhaust gases produced by the burning of solid rocket motor (SRM) fuel. Mice exposed once for a duration of 10 min demonstrated …

Distraction And Dissonance: A Model Of The Persuasive Process, Davis Albert Foulger Jan 1977

Distraction And Dissonance: A Model Of The Persuasive Process, Davis Albert Foulger

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

After exploring the successes, failures, and conflicting explanations for results in two communications research traditions, distraction and counter-attitudinal advocacy, an attempt was made to explain these results in terms of a more comprehensive theory. Distractions were organized into classes defined by their strength and relevance to the message, demonstrating how these and other factors affected the persuasiveness of a message. On the basis of this theory an untested class of distractions, cognitive distractions, were hypothesized. This class of distraction, related to cognitive dissonance, was then used to integrate the conflicting research in counter-attitudinal advocacy. On the basis of this theory, …
