Optical Phase Modulation Utilizing Magnetoelastic Properties Of Metallic Glasses, Frank R. Trowbridge Oct 1980

Optical Phase Modulation Utilizing Magnetoelastic Properties Of Metallic Glasses, Frank R. Trowbridge

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Three different optical fiber phase modulators utilizing the magnetostrictive properties of the metallic glass alloy Fe74Co10B16 were constructed. By binding the optical fiber to the magnetostrictive metallic glass, the strain imparted to the metallic glass from the magnetic field is transferred to the optical fiber. The strain on the optical fiber shifts the phase of the light, which can be controlled indirectly by varying the current producing the magnetic field permeating the metallic glass. The performance of the modulators on the basis of optical phase shift as a function of bias magnetic field and optical phase shift as a function …

Project Scheduling Under Constrained Resources, Mohammed Benameur Oct 1980

Project Scheduling Under Constrained Resources, Mohammed Benameur

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This report examines the widely acceptable Heuristic and Exact procedures for solving the problem of project scheduling and control under constrained resources. Heuristic approaches are more practical, however they depend on the type of the project as well as the resources involved. Exact procedures are illustrated using an Integer Linear Programming formulation of the problem, and also solving it using the Branch and Bound Technique. Impracticality of the exact methods stews from the fact that the computations expand to an unmanageable amount.

An Investigation Of Fabric Filtration For The Removal Of Colloidal Turbidity From A Laboratory Water, David Brent Jansen Oct 1980

An Investigation Of Fabric Filtration For The Removal Of Colloidal Turbidity From A Laboratory Water, David Brent Jansen

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A kaolin in tapwater suspension was treated either with alum or one of two cationic polymers. The resulting suspension was filtered through various configurations of felt cloth filters. The kaolin suspension was adjusted to 100 JTU. Treatment by polymer consistently lowered the filtered effluent to less than 1 JTU. Jar tests were utilized to determine optimum coagulant dose for the tests. The formulation of a complete filter cake in the filter appeared to be the determining factor in the efficiency of water clarification by the filter. The literature lacked references to this concept as applied to water supply problems. The …

The Effect Of Random Number Generators On Applications, Edwin G. Landauer Oct 1980

The Effect Of Random Number Generators On Applications, Edwin G. Landauer

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Several pseudorandom number generators are described and compared on the basis of cost of generation and length of period of the sequences that are produced. The major statistical tests, which are used to obtain a measure of randomness for the different generators are discussed and compared. Four pseudorandom number generators are programmed in GPSS and are used to generate interarrival and service times for an M/M/1 queuing system. The results of each of the trials are compared to the theoretical results which can be obtained from queuing theory.

Adjustable Low Frequency Servo Compensation Using Operational Amplifiers, Charles P. Partin Oct 1980

Adjustable Low Frequency Servo Compensation Using Operational Amplifiers, Charles P. Partin

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This paper defines a variable transfer function that is used to compensate for low frequency structural resonances in a turret so that stabilization of a closed loop servo system can be achieved. Three circuits for implementing this compensation are presented. They are: the feedforward three amplifier biquad, the summing four amplifier biquad, and the single amplifier biquad with pole-zero cancellation. Design equations allowing the engineer to go directly from the given transfer function to the actual component values are developed for each circuit. A comparison of the final circuit designs is also presented.

Zooplankton Abundance And Diversity In A Hydrilla Infested Central Florida Lake, Don C. Schmitz Oct 1980

Zooplankton Abundance And Diversity In A Hydrilla Infested Central Florida Lake, Don C. Schmitz

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Zooplankton abundance, hydrilla biomass, and physicochemical parameters were sampled for one year in a small central Florida lake. Annually, rotifers comprised most of the species collected and were the most abundant zooplankton group. Hydrilla biomass was lowest during winter and spring while orthophosphate and phtoplankton concentrations were highest. Zooplankton densities were highest when hydrilla biomass was low. Small-bodied limnetic herbivores comprised most of the zooplankton during the spring. Zooplanton abundances were lowest during summer and fall and may have been either directly or indirectly related to the hydrilla growth. Factors, such as lower phytoplankton and dissolved oxygen concentrations, possible increased …
