Extended Tailing Of Bacteria Following Breakthrough At The Narrow Channel Focus Area, Oyster, Virginia, Pengfei Zhang, William P. Johnson, Timothy D. Scheibe, Keun-Hyung Choi, Fred C. Dobbs, Brian J. Mailloux Nov 2001

Extended Tailing Of Bacteria Following Breakthrough At The Narrow Channel Focus Area, Oyster, Virginia, Pengfei Zhang, William P. Johnson, Timothy D. Scheibe, Keun-Hyung Choi, Fred C. Dobbs, Brian J. Mailloux

OES Faculty Publications

Extended tailing of low bacterial concentrations following breakthrough at the Narrow Channel focus area was observed for 4 months. Bacterial attachment and detachment kinetics associated with breakthrough and extended tailing were determined by fitting a one-dimensional transport model to the field breakthrough-tailing data. Spatial variations in attachment rate coefficient (k(f)) were observed under forced gradient conditions (i.e., k(f) decreased as travel, distance increased), possibly because of decreased bacterial adhesion with increased transport distance. When pore water velocity decreased by an order of magnitude at 9 days following injection, apparent bacterial attachment rate coefficients did not decrease with velocity as expected …

An Interactive Journey: Creative Development For Young Children, Nattawan Wanglee Nov 2001

An Interactive Journey: Creative Development For Young Children, Nattawan Wanglee

Theses

Creativity begins in infancy and can be developed when children grow up. Young children are at their peak of creative functioning, which declines with age. They are unique individuals and are highly imaginative. Creativity and imagination are strongly related. Even though all children are capable of creativity, the potential to create remains dormant without practice. Creativity requires practice to flourish. Therefore, creativity plays an important role as much as knowledge does. To educate children, creativity also needs to be paid attention too. Children should be encouraged to represent their world creatively by allowing them to choose what they want to …

Dc Power-Bus Modeling And Design With A Mixed-Potential Integral-Equation Formulation And Circuit Extraction, Jun Fan, James L. Drewniak, Hao Shi, James L. Knighten Nov 2001

Dc Power-Bus Modeling And Design With A Mixed-Potential Integral-Equation Formulation And Circuit Extraction, Jun Fan, James L. Drewniak, Hao Shi, James L. Knighten

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Application of a circuit extraction approach based on a mixed-potential integral equation formulation (CEMPIE) for dc power-bus modeling in high-speed digital designs is detailed herein. Agreement with measurements demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach. Dielectric losses are included into the calculation of Green's functions, and thus, incorporated into the rigorous first principles formulation. A SPICE model is then extracted from the discretized integral equation. A quasistatic approximation is used for Green's functions to keep the extracted circuit elements frequency independent. Previous work has established a necessary meshing criterion in order to ensure accuracy for a given substrate thickness and dielectric …


Emi Mitigation With Multilayer Power-Bus Stacks And Via Stitching Of Reference Planes, Xiaoning Ye, David M. Hockanson, Min Li, Yong Ren, Wei Cui, James L. Drewniak, Richard E. Dubroff Nov 2001

Emi Mitigation With Multilayer Power-Bus Stacks And Via Stitching Of Reference Planes, Xiaoning Ye, David M. Hockanson, Min Li, Yong Ren, Wei Cui, James L. Drewniak, Richard E. Dubroff

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

General methods for reducing printed circuit board (PCB) emissions over a broad band of high frequencies are necessary to meet EMI requirements, as processors become faster and more powerful. One mechanism by which EMI can be coupled off a PCB or multichip module (MCM) structure is from high-frequency fringing electric fields on the dc power and reference planes at the substrate periphery An approach for EMI mitigation by stitching multiple ground planes together along the periphery of multilayer PCB power-bus stacks with closely spaced vias is reported and quantified in this paper. Power-bus noise induced EMI and coupling from the …


Privacy Protection For Transactions Of Digital Goods, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng Nov 2001

Privacy Protection For Transactions Of Digital Goods, Feng Bao, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper we study the problem of how to protect users’ privacy in web transactions of digital goods. In particular, we introduce a system which allows a user to disclose his/her identity information (such as user account or credit card number) to a web site in exchange for a digital item, but prevents the web site from learning which specific item the user intends to obtain. The problem concerned here is orthogonal to the problem of anonymous transactions [RSG98], [RR98] but commensurate with the general problem of PIR (private information retrieval) [CGK95]

Stacked Subwavelength Gratings As Circular Polarization Filters, Gregory P. Nordin, P. C. Deguzman Nov 2001

Stacked Subwavelength Gratings As Circular Polarization Filters, Gregory P. Nordin, P. C. Deguzman

Faculty Publications

We have stacked subwavelength gratings (SWGs) on a single substrate to create a compact, integrated circular polarization filter. The SWGs consist of a wire grid polarizer and a broadband form-birefringent quarter-wave plate (QWP). Rigorous coupled-wave analysis was used to design the QWP for operation over the 3.5-5.0 m wavelength range. The fabricated silicon broadband QWP exhibited a phase retardance of 82-97° across this wavelength range. Two stacked structures are presented, each with a different wire grid polarizer fabricated on an organic planarization layer (SU-8) that is deposited on a QWP grating. Transmittance measurements of the first structure when illuminated with …


Dc Power-Bus Design Using Fdtd Modeling With Dispersive Media And Surface Mount Technology Components, Xiaoning Ye, Marina Koledintseva, Min Li, James L. Drewniak Nov 2001

Dc Power-Bus Design Using Fdtd Modeling With Dispersive Media And Surface Mount Technology Components, Xiaoning Ye, Marina Koledintseva, Min Li, James L. Drewniak

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

DC power-bus modeling in high-speed digital design using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is demonstrated herein. The dispersive character of the dielectric layers used in printed circuit board substrates is taken into account in this study. In particular, FR-4 is considered. The complex permittivity of the dielectric is approximated by a Debye model. A wide-band frequency response (100 MHz-5 GHz) is obtained through a single FDTD simulation. Good agreement is achieved between the modeled and measured results for a typical dc power-bus structure with multiple surface mount technology (SMT) decoupling capacitors placed on the printed circuit board (PCB). The FDTD …

Elements And Principles: Experiencing Design Principles Through Interactivity, Niramon Wongsirisup Nov 2001

Elements And Principles: Experiencing Design Principles Through Interactivity, Niramon Wongsirisup

Theses

A designer is a practical person who confronts visual assignments with a process of visual creation. The creative process is used to solve practical problems that occur in any design assignment. However, before one is ready to solve any problem, one must understand the depth and range of their design language. If one's understanding of design is limited, then the range of possible solutions to a problem will be limited. My thesis aims to broaden and enrich a vocabulary of design through the study of its essential elements and principles. If we familiarize ourselves with a multitude of books, we …

Size-Induced Lattice Relaxation In Ceo₂ Nanoparticles, X.-D. Zhou, Wayne Huebner Nov 2001

Size-Induced Lattice Relaxation In Ceo₂ Nanoparticles, X.-D. Zhou, Wayne Huebner

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Size-induced lattice relaxation was observed for nanoscale CeO2 single crystals with an average size from 4 to 60 nm. Results showed the finest crystallites exhibited no strain-induced line broadening, while high temperature annealing resulted in larger grain sizes and significant strains. The observed shift in the x-ray diffraction lattice parameters was assumed to be due to the formation of defects on the lattice, specifically oxygen vacancies. Modeling revealed that the oxygen vacancy concentration ([V••O]) was found to be ≈4 x 1020/cm3 for the 4 nm crystallites, and decreased two orders of magnitude for …

Check All That Apply: The Census And The Multiracial Population, Nina Grant, Cecilia Olivares Oct 2001

Check All That Apply: The Census And The Multiracial Population, Nina Grant, Cecilia Olivares

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

In this presentation, we introduce the idea that different definitions of being multiracial and attitudes toward acknowledging mixed-raced origins might have affected the 2000 census enumeration of the multiracial population. How multiracial people self-identify and how society identifies multiracial people has become an escalating debate among many people. Because more Americans than ever are claiming their multiracial heritages, how they deal with the "other" category, or other restrictions to answering race and ethnicity questions ("Please check only one") is one of the most compelling issues in society today.


Why Can't We Wait (To Spend) And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Potential Negative Impact On Minority Employees From Well-Intentioned Organizational Compensation Practices, James R. Jones Oct 2001

Why Can't We Wait (To Spend) And The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Potential Negative Impact On Minority Employees From Well-Intentioned Organizational Compensation Practices, James R. Jones

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

The presenter outlines a theoretical argument suggesting that organizational attempts to increase short- and long-term motivation and loyalty may unwittingly exacerbate career and financial growth problems for some "minority" workers. Research on ethnic cultural tendencies and individual differences in spending propensities is used to support the notion that the use of incentive-based compensation systems and retirement programs could lead to employees being both undermined in terms of financial health and "slotted" into divergent career paths.

From Plantation To Partnership Politics: Being Black In The Academy, Valarie Greene King Ph.D., Rebekah Mccloud Ed.D., Diana Mitchell

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

This session examines the lingering impact of systems of domination and oppression on black faculty and staff on predominantly white campuses. It highlights ways these forces continue to stifle and impede the efforts by blacks to build meaningful and supportive alliances. Interactive and multi-media approaches are used to underscore practices for critical affirmation, self-recovery, intra-group partnerships and multi-cultural community building.


Engaging In Difficult Dialogues Beyond Color: Where Do You Draw The Line Between Race, Gender And Authority In The Classroom?, Safoura A. Boukari Oct 2001

Engaging In Difficult Dialogues Beyond Color: Where Do You Draw The Line Between Race, Gender And Authority In The Classroom?, Safoura A. Boukari

Different Perspectives on Majority Rules: 6th Annual National Conference (2001)

Grounding the discussion in Check Anta Diop’s Cradle theory, this paper invites us for a critical thinking and questioning of the very existence, the relevance of the color concept itself alongside the negative and detrimental impacts color has on, especially, Black women in academia. Historical, anthropological, scientific findings and theorists of the “Monogenesis” like, Asa G. Hilliard III (Free Your Mind: Return to the Source) traced the human origin back to a single human being, a woman, more than 10.000 years ago. In reference to the current trend, skin color could be defined as nothing, but the result of an …
