Numerical Modeling Of Thermal Refraction In Liquids In The Transient Regime, Dmitriy I. Kovsh, David J. Hagan, Eric W. Van Stryland Jan 1999

Numerical Modeling Of Thermal Refraction In Liquids In The Transient Regime, Dmitriy I. Kovsh, David J. Hagan, Eric W. Van Stryland

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

We present the results of modeling of nanosecond pulse propagation in optically absorbing liquid media. Acoustic and electromagnetic wave equations must be solved simultaneously to model refractive index changes due to thermal expansion and/or electrostriction, which are highly transient phenomena on a nanosecond time scale. Although we consider situations with cylindrical symmetry and where the paraxial approximation is valid, this is still a computation-intensive problem, as beam propagation through optically thick media must be modeled. We compare the full solution of the acoustic wave equation with the approximation of instantaneous expansion (steady-state solution) and hence determine the regimes of validity …

Visible Light Emission From Dyes Excited By Simultaneous Absorption Of Two Different Frequency Beams Of Light, Alexandra Rapaport, Karine Ayrault, Eyitope St. Matthew-Daniel, Michael Bass Jan 1999

Visible Light Emission From Dyes Excited By Simultaneous Absorption Of Two Different Frequency Beams Of Light, Alexandra Rapaport, Karine Ayrault, Eyitope St. Matthew-Daniel, Michael Bass

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Emission of visible light by dyes in both liquid and polymer hosts is reported when excited by simultaneous absorption of infrared light from two different wavelength sources. By moving the intersection point of these two beams about within the volume of the dye-doped medium, one can create a true, real-time, three-dimensional display.

Unique Properties Of Quadratic Solitons, G. I. Stegeman, R. Fuerst, R. Malendevich, R. Schiek, Y. Baek, I. Bauman, W. Sohler, G. Leo, G. Assanto, Ch. Bosshard, P. Günter Jan 1999

Unique Properties Of Quadratic Solitons, G. I. Stegeman, R. Fuerst, R. Malendevich, R. Schiek, Y. Baek, I. Bauman, W. Sohler, G. Leo, G. Assanto, Ch. Bosshard, P. Günter

Faculty Bibliography 1990s

Quadratic spatial solitons exist in media with second order nonlinearities near the phase-matching condition for frequency mixing processes involving two or three waves of different frequency. Discussed here are a number of properties of these special solitons which are different from those of other spatial solitons which rely on optically induced index changes for guiding. First, the self-guiding properties of quadratic solitons are shown to have completely different origins than solitons which rely on index changes. Second, it is shown that there exists a large variety of quadratic solitons which contain two or three distinct spectral components with relative amplitudes …

Dynamic Modeling Of Pwm And Single-Switch Single-Stage Power Factor Correction Converters, Guangyong Zhu Jan 1999

Dynamic Modeling Of Pwm And Single-Switch Single-Stage Power Factor Correction Converters, Guangyong Zhu

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The concept of averaging has been used extensively in the modeling of power electronic circuits to overcome their inherent time-variant nature. Among various methods, the PWM switch modeling approach is most widely accepted in the study of closed-loop stability and transient response because of its accuracy and simplicity. However, a non-ideal PWM switch model considering conduction losses is not available except for converters operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and under small ripple conditions. Modeling of conductor losses under large ripple conditions has not been reported in the open literature, especially when the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). …

Traditional And Applied Graduate Education: Special Challenges, William G. Powers, Don Love Jan 1999

Traditional And Applied Graduate Education: Special Challenges, William G. Powers, Don Love

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article addresses the difference in philosophy and instruction methods in communication graduate programs of the traditional and applied graduate education. Both the traditional and the applied programs are equal in intellectual challenges but with significant differences recognized and accounted for in faculty decision-making associated with course selection, content, and instructional strategy. Graduate programs that contain elements of both models are the more common in our field and face special challenges. In conclusion, administrators must establish and focus upon mutual respect for the commonalities held by the two approaches to graduate education and the support they have for each other, …

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz Jan 1999

Departmental Excellence: Constituencies In Tension, Ronald C. Arnett, Janie M. Harden Fritz

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the question of departmental excellence within historicity and temporality and the political demands of multiple constituencies. If one accepts excellence as a rhetorical construct of political significance for a college campus, then one requires knowledge of the primary constituencies shaping this political debate. The eventual political outcome is shaped through the interplay of three constituencies: the discipline, the local campus and the larger public. The task for every department that wants to pursue excellence is to know, understand and operate within the hidden curriculum of a campus that socializes faculty to the ongoing mission of that particular …

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article analyzes award winning communication programs. The winners of the Small College Interest Group's Programs of Excellence Award provide directions for achieving centrality and the goals outlined by the National Communication Association Task Force on Advancing the Discipline. They have similar names, degrees and locations within their institutions and they favor a holistic department and curricula that are interdisciplinary with strong department anchors. Most have assessment programs in place to maintain this quality. In most cases, they have identified themselves with the mission of their institution through courses and goals. These programs can provide some guidelines for departments in …

Critiques Of Gatekeeping In Scholarly Journals: An Analysis Of Perceptions And Data, Jean Bodon, Larry Powell, Mark Hickson Iii Jan 1999

Critiques Of Gatekeeping In Scholarly Journals: An Analysis Of Perceptions And Data, Jean Bodon, Larry Powell, Mark Hickson Iii

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article analyzes criticisms on the nature and functioning of the editorial boards of communication journals. There are certain elements in the pattern among the critics of journal articles and the journal publishing process. First, they tend to distort what was written in the original article by changing the words, concepts, or ideas. Second, they redefine the parameters of the study they are critiquing. Third, there is sometimes an element of hypocrisy in the critics' attack. However, from the analysis it would appear that editors attempt to maintain balance considering experience in publishing, geographic and institutional affiliation, and gender.

Graduate Program Assessment Of Student Satisfaction: A Method For Merging University And Department Outcomes, Jeremy H. Lipschultz, Michael L. Hilt Jan 1999

Graduate Program Assessment Of Student Satisfaction: A Method For Merging University And Department Outcomes, Jeremy H. Lipschultz, Michael L. Hilt

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article evaluates a communication graduate program based upon the perceptions of alumni satisfaction. The department's assessment plan was utilized to measure their perceived knowledge of theory and research, as well as feelings about career preparation. The results indicate that assessment measures related to content taught may be linked to perceptions about quality, flexibility and facilities in a graduate program. Educational outcomes will continue to be an important issue for communication educators. It is critical that assessment data be collected, interpreted and used to revise curriculum in order to be responsive to needs. By doing this, communication programs will be …

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell Jan 1999

Employer Expectations Of Newly-Hired Communication Graduates, D. F. Treadwell, Jill B. Treadwell

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article examines employers' expectations and perceptions of communication new hires at three points in the school-to-work transition, the initial job application, and the beginning and the end of the first year. This study focuses on writing and related conceptual abilities because for most communication new hires they are the foundation of both a successful job application, and therefore employers' first impressions, and of subsequent performance evaluations and progress. In conclusion, broad generalizations about the communication abilities of communication new hires may be unwarranted because performance expectations and the level and types of assessment vary with the type of position, …

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr. Jan 1999

From Paper To Praxis: Advancing The Discipline In A Small College Environment, Alfred G. Mueller Ii, Delmas S. Crisp Jr.

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article proposes the advancement of communications discipline at a small college in Georgia. In the small liberal arts college, one tends to find many faculty members who have had little or no experience with departments of communication. It is also plausible that some approaches to the study of communication may be deemed unsuitable in a small liberal arts setting. To meet the demands of the millennial technological environment, the dean of the college decided to reexamine the communication major in terms of its scope and function on campus. The proposals for the advancement of the discipline are discussed herein.
