Zero Divisor Graphs And Poset Decomposition, Bette Catherine Putnam Jan 2011

Zero Divisor Graphs And Poset Decomposition, Bette Catherine Putnam

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A graph is associated to any commutative ring R where the vertices are the non-zero zero divisors of R with two vertices adjacent if x · y = 0. The zero-divisor graph has also been studied for various algebraic stuctures such as semigroups and partially ordered sets. In this paper, we will discuss some known results on zero-divisor graphs of posets as well as the concept of compactness as it relates to zero-divisor graphs. We will dicuss equivalence class graphs defined on the elements of various algebraic structures and also the reduced graph defined on the vertices of a compact …


Experimental Damage Diagnosis Of A Model Three-Story Spatial Frame, Samantha Sabatino Jan 2011

Experimental Damage Diagnosis Of A Model Three-Story Spatial Frame, Samantha Sabatino

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Structural damage can be induced by a variety of events from short-term abnormal stresses to long-term natural aging. Detection of changes in a structure's ability to withstand subsequent loads can aid decisions on safety, repair, rehabilitation, and demolition. Dynamic property shifts can show internal cracks and minor damage before propagation or failure occurs, but only if a proper indicator is selected. In order to evaluate potential damage indices, a three-story metal frame building was constructed. Using Star Modal software, dynamic structural properties were obtained from modal decomposition on experimental tap test responses. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the …


High Temperature And Pressure Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy Study Of Metal Hydride Systems, Rasheed Adebisi Jan 2011

High Temperature And Pressure Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy Study Of Metal Hydride Systems, Rasheed Adebisi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The goal of this dissertation is to characterize the elastic properties of palladium hydride near the tri-critical point as a classic example of metal hydride systems using the resonant ultrasound spectroscopy. A high temperature and high pressure resonant ultrasound spectroscopy system which include the RUS cell and the direct contact transducer set-up was designed and constructed. The temperature and pressure dependent of elastic moduli of palladium hydride and palladium crystals were obtained at five isotherms near the critical temperature, 293 °C and for pressure range of 250–500 psi. A strong softening of the shear modulus was observed at temperature and …


A Strange Union: Science And Politics In The Loyalty Of Cadwallader Colden, Katherine Smith Jan 2011

A Strange Union: Science And Politics In The Loyalty Of Cadwallader Colden, Katherine Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Abstract: Cadwallader Colden remains one of the least-studied Crown officials. His reasons for remaining loyal to the Crown have not been investigated, nor has the interaction between his scientific interests and his politics. This thesis explores the relationship between Colden's loyalty and his science, primarily through study of Colden's published papers and letters, as well as the letters and papers of various other colonial officials and amateur scientists. Ultimately this thesis concludes that Colden formed his closest friendships with other amateur scientists, and that these relationships significantly affected his politics.


They Burn You They Bury You They Pull You From The Water, Travis Eugene Morris Jan 2011

They Burn You They Bury You They Pull You From The Water, Travis Eugene Morris

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ditch Row Ballot of Characters In Daviess County, Kentucky, the Ohio River's ancient bank separates the people living in Owensboro. Those drowning in the plasmatic shallows, in the flood plains of the city, are a vigilant, tribal array of religions and mysticism. The closer a community comes to the actual banks of the river, the more enflamed characters of families become. As most places in Kentucky associate themselves with distinct counties--never being from a city--the people inside Daviess County align on streets. They Burn You They Bury You They Pull You from the Water, is the phoenix of one family …

Design And Construction Of A Reflectron Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometer For Multiphoton Ionization And Vibrational Spectroscopic Studies Of Mass-Selected Clusters, Matthew Dodd Mcdowell Jan 2011

Design And Construction Of A Reflectron Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometer For Multiphoton Ionization And Vibrational Spectroscopic Studies Of Mass-Selected Clusters, Matthew Dodd Mcdowell

Honors Theses

Mass spectrometry is typically employed for the elucidation and identification of elements and compounds. Its ability to select and isolate specific molecular clusters makes it an ideal tool for the fundamental spectroscopic study of the photophysical and geometric properties of molecules and molecular clusters. The design and construction of a reflectron time of flight mass spectrometer (reflectron TOF-MS) as well as its implementation for electronic and vibrational spectroscopic studies of various molecules and molecular clusters is discussed. The first chapter introduces basic theory related to electronic spectroscopy, multiphoton ionization, and vibrational spectroscopy. The second chapter entails the theoretical aspects of …

Standards, Law, And Governance, Lawrence Busch Dec 2010

Standards, Law, And Governance, Lawrence Busch

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The last several centuries have been marked first by a tendency toward the use of standards to standardize, and then by the use of standards to differentiate. Both have been built on the legal edifice of the state. More recently, in response to the rapid rise of neoliberalism, standardized differentiation has increased in scope and has become part of a larger Tripartite Standards Regime (TSR) consisting of standards, certifications, and accreditations. Over the last half century, the TSR has grown to cover nearly every aspect of social life. In many ways this new form of governance replaces and transmutes positive …


Noncommutative Symmetric Spaces Of Measurable Operators, M. M. Czerwinska Dec 2010

Noncommutative Symmetric Spaces Of Measurable Operators, M. M. Czerwinska

Analysis Seminar

Let �� be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful, normal, semifinite trace ��, and let �� be a symmetric Banach function space on [0, ��(1)). The symmetric space ��(��, ��) of ��-measurable operators consists of all ��-measurable operators �� for which the singular value function ��(��) belongs to �� and is equipped with the norm ‖��‖ₑ(��, ��) = ‖��‖ₑ. Special cases of noncommutative symmetric spaces include Lₚ(��, ��) (noncommutative Lₚ-spaces), unitary matrix spaces ��ₑ, and Schatten spaces ��ₚ, in particular trace-class ��₁ and the class of Hilbert-Schmidt operators ��₂. The noncommutative spaces have been investigated by several mathematicians, …

Domination And Independent Domination In Graphs, Bruce Priddy Nov 2010

Domination And Independent Domination In Graphs, Bruce Priddy

Combinatorics Seminar

A dominating set for a graph G = (VE) is a subset D of V such that every vertex not in D is joined to at least one vertex in D by some edge. If a dominating set D is an independent set, that is, no edge between any two vertices in D, then D is called an independent dominating set. Let (G) denote the number of vertices in a smallest dominating set for G and i(G) denote the number of vertices in a smallest independent dominating set for G. In this talk, we will begin with an introduction to …

An Asymptotic Formula For The Taylor Series Coefficients Of Functions With Algebraic Singularites, Michael Northington V Nov 2010

An Asymptotic Formula For The Taylor Series Coefficients Of Functions With Algebraic Singularites, Michael Northington V

Analysis Seminar

We present a known result of an asymptotic formula for the coefficients of the Taylor series expansion of functions under certain conditions. Our results show that knowing the location of algebraic singularities of a function can tell us a great deal about the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of its power series. We then introduce a class of orthogonal polynomials, known as the ultraspherical or Gegenbauer polynomials (of which the Legendre polynomials are a special case), and use our results to find an asymptotic formula for these polynomials for all points in the complex plane.


Strong Asymptotics For Orthogonal Polynomials In Weighted Bergman Spaces Of The Unit Disk, Erwin Miña-Díaz Nov 2010

Strong Asymptotics For Orthogonal Polynomials In Weighted Bergman Spaces Of The Unit Disk, Erwin Miña-Díaz

Analysis Seminar

In this talk, we present a new series representation for polynomials orthogonal over the complex unit disk with respect to a weight of the form |ℎ(��)|ᵖ, where ℎ(��) is an analytic function in the closed unit disk |��| < 1 that does not vanish on the circle |��| = 1. This representation allows us to establish the strong asymptotic behavior of the polynomials at every point of the complex plane.

Vector Measures Without Weak Compactness: Part Iii, Iwo Labuda Oct 2010

Vector Measures Without Weak Compactness: Part Iii, Iwo Labuda

Analysis Seminar

The title above refers to a 1955 paper of Bartle, Dunford, and Schwartz 'Weak Compactness and Vector Measures' in which integration of scalar functions with respect to a vector measure was first defined. Vector measures considered in the original paper were Banach space valued and the notion of weak compactness played the key role in the development of the theory. 55 years later, I am happy to report that the theory can be developed without any constraints on the range space (and so the notion of weak topology is not even available, in general). Let �� be a σ-algebra of …


Long Cycles In 3-Connected Graphs With Bounded Degrees, Guantao Chen Oct 2010

Long Cycles In 3-Connected Graphs With Bounded Degrees, Guantao Chen

Combinatorics Seminar

In 1993 Jackson and Wormald conjectured that if G is a 3-connected n-vertex graph with maximum degree d 2'. 4 then G has a cycle of length O(n10gd-1 2). In this talk, I will report progresses on this conjecture and related problems.

Type Iii Error In Social Problem Solving: Application Of The Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp), Terrence Thomas, Cihat Gunden Aug 2010

Type Iii Error In Social Problem Solving: Application Of The Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ahp), Terrence Thomas, Cihat Gunden

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

A diverse group comprising the University of Georgia, Athens; Tuskegee University; and community based organizations undertook to develop an organization modeled after a federal commission to address persistent poverty in the Black Belt Region (BBR). In spite of objective data describing poverty in the region, each stakeholder viewed the problem differently. As a result, two different legislative initiatives were designed to address the problem. Competition and disagreement among the stakeholders fueled a rush to formulate a solution without first investing sufficient effort to define the right problem. Failure to define the right problem could lead to a Type III error: …
