Study On Street Children In Four Selected Towns In Ethiopia, Kevin Lalor, Angela Veale, Azeb Adefrisew, Unicef, University College Cork
Reports
The child is the most precious asset and the focal point of development for any country. However, unless children are brought up in a stimulating and conducive environment getting the best possible care and protection, their physical, mental, emotional and social development is susceptible to permanent damage. Ethiopia, being one of the least developed countries of the world due to interrelated and complex socio-economic factors including man-made and natural calamities, a large portion of our population - especially children - are victimized by social evils like famine, disease, poverty, mass displacement, lack of education and family instability. Owing to the …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
In standard Mott electron polarimetry using thin gold film targets, extrapolation procedures must be used to reduce the experimentally measured asymmetries A to the values they would have for scattering from single atoms. These extrapolations involve the dependence of A on either the gold film thickness t or the maximum detected electron energy loss in the target ΔE. Using a concentric cylindrical-electrode Mott polarimeter, we have studied and compared these two types of extrapolations over the electron energy range 20-100 keV. The potential systematic errors which can result from such procedures are analyzed in detail, particularly with regard to the …
Solving Nonlinear Composite Material Problems Using The Automated Structural Optimization System (Astros), Robert Bolha
Solving Nonlinear Composite Material Problems Using The Automated Structural Optimization System (Astros), Robert Bolha
Theses and Dissertations
Most advanced composite materials have nonlinear stress versus strain curves--grossly so in the laminas shear direction. If linear approximations are used, overly conservative design will result. This thesis expands the usefulness of the Automated Structural Optimization System (ASTROS) finite element (FE) program by incorporating a newly developed capability to include material nonlinearities. By dividing a FE problem into several intervals, and incorporating the changing nature of the nonlinear material properties within each element, a good approximation of the laminate's actual stresses and strains can be obtained without the undue experimentation involved in testing every individual configuration. Each material property is …
A Study Of Heat Flux Induced Dryout In Capillary Grooves, Timothy J. Murphy
A Study Of Heat Flux Induced Dryout In Capillary Grooves, Timothy J. Murphy
Theses and Dissertations
This is an experimental study of ethanol flowing in the narrow grooves of a copper plate which is subjected to heat fluxes sufficient to evaporate more liquid than can be replaced by capillary pumping. Three groove geometries are used: square, rectangle, and trapezoid. The objective is to simulate aspects of liquid flow in heat pipes with axial grooves. In order to validate analytical models of capillary flow in grooves, the capillary limit, dryout front location, and dryout front movement in response to power draw downs are documented. The results show the rewet performance of the groove is dependent on geometry. …
Passive Damping Of A Solar Array, Mark A. Scharpen
Passive Damping Of A Solar Array, Mark A. Scharpen
Theses and Dissertations
This study was an attempt to conceptualize, design, build, and test a constrained layer damping device that uses mechanical advantage for the purpose of increasing the damping of transient vibration of a five-bay planar truss. The aluminum truss was clamped to a fixed support and simulated a solar array. A conventional constrained layer treatment was designed, built, and tested to serve as a benchmark for comparison. For the conventional treatment, Plunkett and Lee's segmented constraining layer technique was used. The improved device, two three-layer sandwich beams spanning the two bays nearest the built-in end, were supported several inches away from …
Effect Of Thickness And Ply Layup On The Collapse Characteristics Of Cylindrical Composite Shells With Large Cutouts, James C. Hatfield
Effect Of Thickness And Ply Layup On The Collapse Characteristics Of Cylindrical Composite Shells With Large Cutouts, James C. Hatfield
Theses and Dissertations
This study involved a numerical and experimental investigation of the geometric instability(collapse loads/displacements) of vertically unsupported graphite/epoxy cylindrical shell panels undergoing axial compression. Symmetric quasi-isotropic and cross-ply laminates, with and without 4 X4 centralized cutouts, were investigated for three thicknesses:8,16,and 24 plies. The experimental data was compared to results from SHELL, a geometrically nonlinear finite-element computer program which incorporates a parabolic transverse shear strain distribution through the thickness. Good correlation was obtained for shells with large cutouts between the SHELL numerical data and the experimental results. This research verified that the SHELL program will provide good predictions of the collapse …
Open And Filled Hole Static Tensile Strength Characterization Of Metal Matrix Composite Scs-9/Β21s, Jacob T. Roush
Open And Filled Hole Static Tensile Strength Characterization Of Metal Matrix Composite Scs-9/Β21s, Jacob T. Roush
Theses and Dissertations
SCS-9/β21s has a reduced gauge thickness, in comparison with other metal matrix composites, due to a smaller diameter fiber. This reduced gauge thickness makes it an attractive candidate for the skin of hypersonic vehicles. Tensile testing of (0/90)2s and (O/±45/90)s laminates was performed at room temperature, 482°C, and 650°C. Both notched and unnotched specimens were tested. Notched specimens, open and filled hole, had a width-to-diameter ratio of six. Materials 7075-T6 and Mar-m-246 were used as pins in the filled hole tensile testing. Analytical work was completed to predict material properties, elastic and plastic stress concentration factors, residual stresses, …
Helicopter Flight Control System Design Using The Linear Quadratic Regulator For Robust Eigenstructure Assignment, Dempsey D. Solomon
Helicopter Flight Control System Design Using The Linear Quadratic Regulator For Robust Eigenstructure Assignment, Dempsey D. Solomon
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis applied modern, multi-variable control design techniques, via a FORTRAN computer algorithm, to U.S. Army helicopter models in hovering flight conditions. Eigenstructure assignment and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory are used to achieve enhanced closed loop performance and stability characteristics with full state feedback. The addition of cross coupling weights to the standard LQR performance index is specifically addressed. A desired eigenstructure is chosen with a goal of reduced pilot workload via performance qualities requirements. Cross coupling weighting is shown to provide greater flexibility in achieving a desired closed loop eigenstructure. While the addition of cross coupling weighting is …
Behavior Of A Centrally Notched Cross-Ply And Unidirectional Ceramic Matrix Composite In Tension-Compression Fatigue, William A. Weidenaar
Behavior Of A Centrally Notched Cross-Ply And Unidirectional Ceramic Matrix Composite In Tension-Compression Fatigue, William A. Weidenaar
Theses and Dissertations
Centrally notched (hole), cross-ply, ((0/90)2)s, and unidirectional, (0)8 laminates of Silicon Carbide fiber-reinforced Aluminosilicate glass, SiC/1723, were fatigue tested under tension-compression loading with a load ratio of -1. Damage accumulated continuously for both lay- ups, leading to eventual failure and a reduced fatigue life. Critical damage in the cross-ply consisted of longitudinal cracks in the 90° plies growing and combining with transverse cracks to effectively eliminate the 90° plies' load carrying capability and allowing the specimen to buckle. Critical damage in the unidirectional lay-up consisted of longitudinal cracks which initiated at the shear stress concentration …

Solution To A Multicriteria Aircraft Routing Problem Utilizing Parallel Search Techniques, James J. Grimm Iii
Solution To A Multicriteria Aircraft Routing Problem Utilizing Parallel Search Techniques, James J. Grimm Iii
Theses and Dissertations
Pilots select routes based on factors such as threats, fuel, time on target, distance, and refueling points. This is a time consuming task. This thesis presents the software engineering synthesis of a software tool, based on a parallelized A* search algorithm, to select routes. For simplicity only threats and distance are used. A centralized open list is used with one processor managing the list while the other processors perform the node expansions. This decomposition result in a dynamically load balanced system. A number of parameters are changed to study their impact on the execution time. The use of a branch …
An Investigation Of Discovery-Based Learning In The Route Planning Domain, Freeman A. Kilpatrick Jr.
An Investigation Of Discovery-Based Learning In The Route Planning Domain, Freeman A. Kilpatrick Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents MAVERICK, a Discovery-Based learning (DBL) system designed to learn maneuvers in the route planning domain. DBL was originally designed to learn in domains for which little domain knowledge exists. This thesis proposes using it in domains for which knowledge exists, but the acquisition of this knowledge is difficult or time-consuming because of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. The operation of the DBL process in MAVERICK was investigated to determine the potential utility of such a system to a real- world Air Force problem in the domain of aircraft route planning. MAVERICK worked well in its limited domain, and …
An Intelligent Real-Time System Architecture Implemented In Ada, Michael A. Whelan
An Intelligent Real-Time System Architecture Implemented In Ada, Michael A. Whelan
Theses and Dissertations
Conventional real-time systems are fully deterministic allowing for off-line, optimal, task scheduling under all circumstances. Real-time intelligent systems add non-deterministic task execution times and non- deterministic task sets for scheduling purposes. Non-deterministic task sets force intelligent real-time systems to trade-off execution time with solution quality during run-time and perform dynamic task scheduling. Four basic design considerations addressing those tradeoffs have been identified: control reasoning, focus of attention, parallelism, and algorithm efficacy. Non-real- time intelligent systems contain an environment sensor, a model of the environment, a reasoning process, and a large collection of procedural processes. Real-time intelligent systems add to these …
Creating And Manipulating Formalized Software Architectures To Support A Domain-Oriented Application Composition System, Cynthia G. Anderson
Creating And Manipulating Formalized Software Architectures To Support A Domain-Oriented Application Composition System, Cynthia G. Anderson
Theses and Dissertations
This research investigated technology which enables sophisticated users to specify, generate, and maintain application software in domain-oriented terms. To realize this new technology, a development environment, called Architect, was designed and implemented. Using canonical formal specifications of domain objects, Architect rapidly composes these specifications into a software application and executes a prototype of that application as a means to demonstrate its correctness before any programming language specific code is generated. Architect depends upon the existence of a formal object base (or domain model) which was investigated by another student in related research. The research described in this thesis relied on …
A Unified Model Of Program Behavior, Douglas T. Michel
A Unified Model Of Program Behavior, Douglas T. Michel
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is an attempt to account for and unify the three types of locality: temporal, spatial, and structural. A diverse sample of traces are used in measuring program behavior with respect to these localities and a model is presented which represents the memory references a program generates as it goes through execution. The model is validated by estimating, the entropy of a synthetically generated trace and comparing it with actual traces. The results indicate that there is more predictability contained in the original trace than what the model was able to capture. Different variations of the model were tried …

Recent advances in Graphical User Interface (GUI) technology combined with Sun's adoption of the X Window System …
Design And Characterization Of Optically Pumped Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers, Richard J. Bagnell
Design And Characterization Of Optically Pumped Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers, Richard J. Bagnell
Theses and Dissertations
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are a form of semiconductor laser which have their cavity oriented orthogonally to the plane of the wafer. The orientation necessitates short cavities, highly reflective mirrors and a relatively high gain/loss ratio. Even so, the resultant superior exit beam characteristics and the tight packing density of the finished lasers provide strong motivation for pursuing the growth of these structures. This thesis details the design of an optically pumped InGaAs multiple quantum well periodic gain structure VCSEL with a 950 nm lasing wavelength. These growths were to be a first attempt at VCSEL construction, so …
An Investigation Of Structural Locality In The Memory Referencing Behavior Of Computer Programs, Michael E. Bletzinger
An Investigation Of Structural Locality In The Memory Referencing Behavior Of Computer Programs, Michael E. Bletzinger
Theses and Dissertations
The nature of structural locality as defined by same stack distance access is investigated in this thesis. The question is whether structural locality can be characterized as an inherent type of behavior. The results revealed that structural locality is strongly influenced by a program's design and phase of execution. Entropy measurements revealed that the predictiveness of structural locality is also influenced by program design. A Markov model was refined to capture the characteristics of structural locality that were measured. Trace synthesis demonstrated some success in reproducing same stack distance run distributions when the model had enough states to encompass the …
