Design And Analysis Of An Instrument System For Rheological Testing Of Whole Blood Samples, Robert Rimvydas Sinusas Dec 1974

Design And Analysis Of An Instrument System For Rheological Testing Of Whole Blood Samples, Robert Rimvydas Sinusas

Dissertations

The dissertation covers the conceptual design of a rheometer for testing whole blood samples through to the clotting state. While the design aims at increased measurement accuracy, the design employs well known technologies and available components.

The main reason for preoccupation with blood testing is that recent investigations have indicated that physiological disorders can be correlated with rheological properties of blood. The pursuit of an improved means of correlation is initiated with a survey of the rheological properties of blood. The relevance of these blood properties is then discussed. From this discussion a broader blood model is developed as a …

The Interpretation Of Infrared And Raman Spectra Using Pattern Recognition, John Martin Comerford Sep 1974

The Interpretation Of Infrared And Raman Spectra Using Pattern Recognition, John Martin Comerford

Dissertations

An automatic classification of chemical compounds by computer processing of digitized spectral data is presented. The classification system is based on a branch of artificial intelligence known as supervised learning, and used binary linear classifiers to identify compounds as alcohols, esters, ethers, ketones or compounds containing double bonds.

Each of the 1117 spectra in volume one of Sadtler's Standard Raman Spectra was coded using a scale from 0 to 9 in the range from 4000 to 200 cm-1. One hundred and twelve readings were taken on each spectrum. These data were then examined using pattern recognition techniques, and …

The Theory Of Multiple Measurements Techniques In Distributed Parameter Systems, Babajimi Claudius Okunseinde Jun 1974

The Theory Of Multiple Measurements Techniques In Distributed Parameter Systems, Babajimi Claudius Okunseinde

Dissertations

A comprehensive theory of multiple measurements for the optimum on-line state estimation and parameter identification in a class of noisy, dynamic distributed systems, is developed in this study. Often in practical monitoring and control problems, accurate measurements of a critical variable are not available in a desired form or at a desired sampling rate. Rather, noisy independent measurements of related forms of the variable may be available at different sampling rates. Multiple measurements theory thus involves the optimum weighting and combination of different types of available measurements. One of the contributions of this work is the development of a unique …


Synthetically-Generated Holographic Memory System Utilizing Partially Coherent Light, William A. Barrett May 1974

Synthetically-Generated Holographic Memory System Utilizing Partially Coherent Light, William A. Barrett

Dissertations

This dissertation proposes a novel form of optical ROM for the digital computer. This memory makes use of holographic techniques because of the advantages offered by holographic memories over conventional optical ones, especially with regard to dust and scratch sensitivity.

These advantages have long been recognized by workers in the field, indeed several holographic optical memories have already been proposed.

A survey of the state of the art of digital computer memories is offered in the introductory part of the thesis. Particular emphasis is placed on optical memories. A brief review of basic holographic theory is also included for reference. …


A Nonlinear Viscoelastic Model, Yon-Li Shangkuan May 1974

A Nonlinear Viscoelastic Model, Yon-Li Shangkuan

Dissertations

A nonlinear viscoelastic model has been developed to describe the non-Newtonian viscosities and the primary normal stress differences of high polymers at steady-state shearing flow.

It has been demonstrated that the Huang-Shangkuan model gives the best representation of the experimental data for a wide range of shear rates. In the high shear rate region the Huang-Shangkuan model is distinguished among other models by its capability to predict the nonNewtonian viscosities and the primary normal stress differences Which the other models fail to predict.

Continuum mechanics, Lodge's network theory and Rouse's theory provide specific information in developing our model. The theoretical …


Optimal Planning Of Fixed Route Bus Transit Systems : A Systems Approach, Young Lee May 1974

Optimal Planning Of Fixed Route Bus Transit Systems : A Systems Approach, Young Lee

Dissertations

A new bus transit planning tool is developed for application in determining operating policies of a fixed-route bus transit system. The objective of the study is to model a bus transit system which functions under time-varying passenger demands and service characteristics.

The two phase transit model developed in this research is intended for use as a mass transit planning tool, to solve transit problems confronting the mass transit planner. The model is used to compute cost differentials in transit system options. These alternatives of expanding, abandoning or modifying service depend upon the service frequency, fleet size and other system attributes …
