Operator Ranges Of Shifts And C*-Algebras (Strange Range, Quasi-Similarity, Lattice), Charles Lucien Roy

Doctoral Dissertations

It is shown that Lat(, 1/2)(H('(INFIN))(S)), the invariant operator ranges of the commutant of the unilateral shift, is a proper sub-lattice of the lattice of invariant operator ranges of the unilateral shift, S. The notion of a strange operator range for S of order n where n (ELEM) is introduced and it is demonstrated that there exist strange ranges for S of every order. This is done by deriving an operator range condition which is sufficient to insure that a pair of quasi-similar compressions of shifts really be similar. A set of operator ranges which forms a sub-lattice of Lat(, …

Estimation Of The Fisher Effect On The Term Structure Of Interest Rates Employing A Term Structure Of Inflationary Expectations, Phyllis Wells Isley

Doctoral Dissertations

This study deals with the estimation of the effect of a term structure of inflationary expectations on the term structure of interest rates. By estimating the Fisher effect over the entire term structure, this analysis captures the associational effects between values of the interest rates along a term structure and values of inflationary expectations along a term structure.

The study contains a discussion of the Fisher hypothesis as it was developed and tested by Irving Fisher. Models of inflationary expectations and previous applications of these to test the Fisher effect are discussed.

A method of constructing a term structure of …

Technical Change And Profitability: The Long-Period Behavior Of The Rate Of Profit (Competition, Rationality), Benigno Valdes

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation provides a theoretical inquiry into the effects of technical change on profitability. In the center of the discussion lies the Marxian 'Law of the Falling Tendency of the Rate of Profit' (LFTRP). The LFTRP maintains that mechanization, i.e. the introduction of cost-reducing techniques of the capital-using-labor-saving type, results in a lower average rate of profit. This proposition is denied by the Okishio theorem, which says that the introduction of such techniques is incompatible with a falling rate of profit.

In order to evaluate Okishio's claim, a model of the economy which incorporates fixed capital is constructed, and on …

Interaction Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons With Dissolved And Sediment Associated Humic Materials (Nmr, Fluorescence), Thomas Donald Gauthier

Doctoral Dissertations

A fluorescence quenching method was developed for determining association constants of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)s with dissolved and sediment bound humic materials. The technique is based upon the observation that PAH fluorescence in aqueous solution is quenched upon association with humic material. Association constants are derived from the fractional decrease in fluorescence intensity as a function of added humic material using Stern-Volmer plots. No separation is required and since the technique involves a ratio measurement the exact concentration of pollutant is not required. Anthracene-humic acid association constants normalized to the fraction of organic carbon in the sorbent (K(,oc)), determined by …

Analysis And Simulation Of The Pneumatic Braking System Of Freight Trains, Khaled Sayed Abdol-Hamid

Doctoral Dissertations

In North America, and in many other parts of the world, freight trains still employ pneumatic equipment for braking. The 26C locomotive valve and control valves of the cars are connected by a brake pipe which serves the dual purpose of conducting pneumatic power and transmitting the control signal (brake signal) from the locomotive to each car of the train. The development of the air brake system has been largely empirical and experimental, which may take years to develop a new design.

In this thesis, a new brake pipe mathematical model is developed, including the interaction of the branch pipe. …

The Role Of Error Analysis, Diagnostic Grading Procedures, And Student Reflection In First Semester Calculus Learning (Epistemology, Metacognition, Inquiry), Karen Jean Geuther

Doctoral Dissertations

The present study is an integrative study designed to explore the nature of student difficulties within the context of a first semester college calculus course. The techniques of error analysis were used to identify and categorize the student difficulties. Insights gained from this categorization served as the basis for the design and development of calculus grader preparation materials implemented with a subgroup of undergraduate calculus graders. These grader preparation materials emphasized grader diagnosis of student difficulties and student reflection on errors and process. Current preparation procedures served as the control on the basis of which comparisons and evaluations were made. …

Fire Resistance Of Concrete-Filled And Reinforced Concrete Columns, Mohamed El-Shayeb

Doctoral Dissertations

In order to calculate the fire resistance of a building component, it is necessary to know the temperature history of the component during exposure to fire. In this dissertation a numerical method is described for calculating the temperature field in fire-exposed columns. The procedure is based on a finite difference method for calculating the temperature history of concrete-filled square steel and cylindrical reinforced concrete columns. Two mathematical models and their related computer programs for these columns are presented in this dissertation.

Furthermore, the Division of Building Research of the National Research Council of Canada, is now carrying out extensive experimental …

The Equatorial Pacific High-Productivity Belt: Elements For A Synthesis Of Deep Sea Drilling Project Leg 85 Resultspaleoceanography, Fritz Theyer, Larry A. Mayer, John A. Barron, Ellen Thomas

Affiliate Scholarship

Leg 85 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project operated in the eastern central Pacific in the region of the equatorial highproductivity belt. We recovered uppermost Eocene to Quaternary reference sections amenable to fine-scale stratigraphic and paleoceanographic research, using primarily the hydraulic piston corer. Four sites (572 to 575) were drilled along an east-west (about 114 to 133°W) and north-south (about 0.5 to 6°N) transect across the equatorial belt. At Site 572 an apparently complete lower middle Miocene to Quaternary sequence was recovered: the sediment sections are dominantly siliceous-calcareous oozes and chalks, and sediment accumulation rates were high (30 to 60 …

Seismic Modelling And Paleoceanography At Dsdp Site 574, Larry A. Mayer, Tom H. Shipley, Fritz Theyer, Roy H. Wilkens, Edward L. Winterer

Affiliate Scholarship

The analysis of high-resolution watergun seismic profiles collected in support of DSDP Leg 85 drilling reveals sev eral major, regionally traceable reflectors that can be correlated over more than 360,000 km2 in the central equatorial Pacific. Synthetic seismograms generated from shipboard physical property measurements (carefully corrected to in situ values) for DSDP Site 574 show excellent agreement with the field records; the agreement suggests that the traveltime to-depth conversion is accurate and permits the precise (± 5 m) location of reflectors in the cored section. The reflectors can be dated (±0.5 Ma) as follows: Orange, 21.5 to 22.5 Ma; Yellow, …
