A Brazilian Challenge To Lewis's Explanation Of Cult Mediumship, James M. Donovan Aug 2000

A Brazilian Challenge To Lewis's Explanation Of Cult Mediumship, James M. Donovan

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

Recruitment into peripheral possession trance cults has been explained as attempts to compensate for socio-economic deprivation and jural impotence. This model, best developed by I.M. Lewis, is reviewed and its predictions tested against two types of Brazilian data. Firstly, national census figures of religious affiliation are compared with measure of socio-economic stress for a diachronic analysis. A second, synchronic analysis involves 62 respondents in Rio de Janeiro who completed questionnaires on socio-economic status, cultic affiliation, and perceptions of stress and gender inequality. The results offer only weak support for Lewis's original model, which may therefore profit from supplementation from other …

Attitudes Of Native English-Speaking Professors Toward University Esl Students, Shirley A. Wright Aug 2000

Attitudes Of Native English-Speaking Professors Toward University Esl Students, Shirley A. Wright

Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive

This study focuses on native English-speaking business professors to explore issues of stereotyping and error gravity in terms of university ESL (English as a Second Language) students. Specifically, this dissertation has four goals: (1) to discover what types of judgments business professors make about students, (2) to determine whether they make judgments about students based on written language samples, (3) to discover whether these judgments vary according to various grammatical error types in written language samples (whether an error hierarchy obtains for written grammatical errors), and (4) to explore what linguistic variables might influence those judgments. On the basis of …

Emi From Airflow Aperture Arrays In Shielding Enclosures-Experiments, Fdtd, And Mom Modeling, Min Li, Joe Nuebel, James L. Drewniak, Richard E. Dubroff, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren Aug 2000

Emi From Airflow Aperture Arrays In Shielding Enclosures-Experiments, Fdtd, And Mom Modeling, Min Li, Joe Nuebel, James L. Drewniak, Richard E. Dubroff, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Aperture arrays designed to provide airflow through shielding enclosures can provide part of the coupling path from interior sources to external electromagnetic interference (EMI). In this work, radiation through aperture arrays is investigated numerically and experimentally. FDTD modeling is compared with measurements on aperture arrays in a test enclosure. The method of moments (MoM) is also utilized to study radiation from apertures and to investigate the mutual coupling between apertures in an infinite conducting plane. A simple design equation for the relation between aperture size and number and shielding effectiveness is proposed.


Experimental And Numerical Study Of The Radiation From Microstrip Bends, H. Wang, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren, Richard E. Dubroff Aug 2000

Experimental And Numerical Study Of The Radiation From Microstrip Bends, H. Wang, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren, Richard E. Dubroff

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper investigates the radiation from microstrip lines with 90-degree bends. A 1-GHz TEM cell is used to measure the radiation from microstrip lines with different kinds of bends. A full wave hybrid FEM/MoM code is used to compute the radiation. Both experimental and numerical results show that there is no significant difference between the radiation from right angle bends and bends with two 45-degree corners at frequencies and trace dimensions that are likely to be found on printed circuit boards.


Fdtd And Fem/Mom Modeling Of Emi Resulting From A Trace Near A Pcb Edge, Daniel P. Berg, Motoshi Tanaka, Yun Ji, Xiaoning Ye, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Richard E. Dubroff, Thomas Van Doren Aug 2000

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

PCB traces routed near board edges and carrying high-speed signals are considered to contribute to EMI problems. Consequently, design maxims state that traces that might have intentional or unintentional high frequency components on them be kept away from board edges. This costs valuable surface area as boards become more densely designed. Further, design maxims concerning traces near board edges are not well quantified. The increase in EMI as a trace is routed increasingly closer to the PCB edge has been studied experimentally and with numerical modeling.


Finite Element Modeling Of Patch Antenna And Cavity Sources, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak Aug 2000

Finite Element Modeling Of Patch Antenna And Cavity Sources, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper examines two different approaches that can be used to model patch antennas and cavities fed by a coaxial cable. The probe model represents the feed as a current filament along the center conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial-cable model enforces the analytical field distribution at the cable opening. These two models have been implemented in a hybrid FEM/MoM code. A power bus structure and a cavity geometry with coaxial-cable feeds are investigated. Numerical results obtained for these two examples are compared with measurements. It is shown that the probe model should only be applied to electrically short …


Development Of A Closed-Form Expression For The Input Impedance Of Power-Ground Plane Structures, Minjia Xu, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, James L. Drewniak Aug 2000

Development Of A Closed-Form Expression For The Input Impedance Of Power-Ground Plane Structures, Minjia Xu, Yun Ji, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, James L. Drewniak

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper analyzes the fundamental behavior of PCB power bus structures using the modal expansion method. The results are validated by experiments and full-wave numerical modeling. It is shown that the power bus can be modeled as a series LeC circuit below the first board resonance frequency. C is the interplane capacitance and Le is an effective inductance contributed by all the cavity nodes. The effects of the layer thickness, port location, board size and the feeding wire radius on the value of Le are discussed in this study. Le can be estimated from the …

Emc Analysis Of An 18" Lcd Monitor, Theodore M. Zeeff, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Richard E. Dubroff, Thomas Van Doren

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper describes a case study covering the evaluation and reduction of the radiated EMI from an 18 inches Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) monitor. The evaluation was completed in two parts: first potential EMI sources at the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) level were identified, then the EMI antennas driven by these sources were analyzed. Methods for reducing the EMI were described in detail, and where applicable, those modifications were applied. Radiated measurements demonstrate the effectiveness of these recommendations.


Experimental Evaluation Of Power Bus Decoupling On A 4-Layer Printed Circuit Board, Juan Chen, Minjia Xu, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren, Richard E. Dubroff Aug 2000

Experimental Evaluation Of Power Bus Decoupling On A 4-Layer Printed Circuit Board, Juan Chen, Minjia Xu, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren, Richard E. Dubroff

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The switching of active devices on printed circuit boards (PCBs) can cause a momentary surge or drop in the power bus voltage. Decoupling capacitors are often utilized to alleviate this problem. They help to stabilize the power bus voltage by supplying transient current to active devices. The decoupling strategy, including where to place the high-frequency decoupling capacitors, is often a topic of debate. This paper examines the effect of decoupling capacitor placement on a 4-layer printed circuit board. Some design guidelines are provided.


Distributed Arithmetic Implementation Of Multivariable Controllers For Smart Structural Systems, Lingfeng Yuan, Sridhar Sana, Hardy J. Pottinger, Vittal S. Rao Aug 2000

Distributed Arithmetic Implementation Of Multivariable Controllers For Smart Structural Systems, Lingfeng Yuan, Sridhar Sana, Hardy J. Pottinger, Vittal S. Rao

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Smart structural systems require the electronic control systems which are integrated into the structures to be small, lightweight and power-efficient. The field programmable gate array (FPGA) is a good platform to implement such controllers. In our previous work, FPGA-based digital controllers were built and tested on a simple structural system. In order to implement multivariable controllers, the hardware resources for FPGA-based architecture need to be further reduced. Distributed arithmetic (DA) has long been proven to be a very efficient means to mechanize computations that are dominated by inner products involving constant multiplicand. The computational requirements of the smart structural controllers …
