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 …

Who Are The Complaint-Prone Officers?: An Examination Of The Relationship Between Police Officers' Attributes, Arrest Activity, Assignment, And Citizens' Complaints About Excessive Force, Steven G. Brandl, Meghan S. Stroshine, James Frank

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

This article identifies the characteristics of police officers (officers’ background attributes, arrest activity, and assignment) who most frequently receive complaints from citizens regarding the use of excessive force. The data for the study were obtained from a large mid-western municipal police department. The results show that arrest activity, officer age, and officer gender are most strongly related to the receipt of citizen’s complaints about excessive force and differentiate high-complaint officers from low-complaint officers. Implications of the findings are discussed.

To Our Children’S Children’S Children: The Problems Of Intergenerational Ethics, Lawrence B. Solum

Faculty Scholarship

This essay serves as the introduction to the Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review's symposium on intergenerational justice. The importance of this topic cannot be overstated. Intergenerational ethics bears on questions of environmental policy, health policy, intellectual property law, international development policy, social security policy, telecommunications policy, and a variety of other issues.

Part II, Clarifying the Problems of Intergenerational Ethics, is a first sketch of the scope and nature of intergenerational justice, introducing a variety of cases and contexts in which issues of intergenerational ethics arise and distinguishing between the political and moral dimensions of these issues. Part …

Service Learning: Discovering Effective Communication Strategies By Emphasizing The Community's Perspective, Elizabeth Oppe

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

Service learning is a broadly defined term that may encompass a spectrum of projects and course work ranging from acts of charity to activism for social change. "The aim of service learning is always to heighten awareness in our communities that we have the capacity to both learn from and serve each other... and work toward a more just and egalitarian society" (bttp://www.invcol.pdx.edulic.htm). Another description of service learning from Brevard Community College's The Power (1994) explains that, for many community organizations, students augment service delivery, meet crucial human needs, and provide a basis for future citizen support. The Power depicts …

Micromagnetics Simulation Of Deep-Submicron Supermalloy Disks, Scott Whittenburg

Chemistry Faculty Publications

The results of recent micromagnetic simulations of deep submicron supermalloy disks are presented. A recent experimental measurement of the hysteresis and magnetic domain structure in supermalloy disks with diameters ranging from 55 to 500 nm and thickness ranging from 6 to 15 nm has been reported. Our micromagnetic simulations show remarkable agreement with the experimental hysteresis loops. The simulation results show that for thin or small diameter disks a single magnetic domain exists with all spins aligned. The hysteresis loop represents free rotation of these spins. For larger diameter disks or as the thickness increases the hysteresis loops change shape …

Is Traffic Organized On Trails Of The Leaf Cutting Ant Atta Cephalotes?, November 2001, Angela C. Rao

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

The leaf cutting tribe Attini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae) shows numerous adaptations that increase foraging efficiency. Such adaptations are seen in their highly polymorphic caste systems, trails branching from many different exit holes, clearing and maintenance of foraging trails, and pheromonal signaling and recruitment. It is reasonable to assume that mechanisms exist that would reduce incidence of collisions, traffic jams, etc., on foraging trails. This hypothesis was tested by recording trail density and time, linear distance, and direction of ant travel on the trails of Atta Cephalotes and looking for certain trends. Ants traveling towards the nest were not found to vary …

Bat Morphology And Pollinator Specificity In A Neotropical Cloud Forest, November 2001, Kiva Rice

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

This study explores the degree of specialization of nectarivorous bat species and the plants they visit by examining pollen loads. The bat species involved are Anoura geoffroyi, Glossophaga commissarisi, and Hylonycteris underwoodi, all of which feed on nectar and are found in the cloud forests of Monteverde. Five nights were spent mist-netting and pollen samples were taken from the head, fore-body and back of each individual caught. These were placed on slides that were observed under a microscope and pollen morphospecies were counted. Twenty-two pollen morphospecies were found and a few were identified. A 1-way ANOVA test was conducted to …

Adapting Forces To A New Era: Ten Transforming Concepts, Hans Binnendijk, Richard L. Kugler

Defense Horizons

A key Department of Defense goal is to build highly capable forces whose mastery of high-tech warfighting will allow decisive victories against new threats and well-armed opponents in future operations. A set of new operational concepts, many of which have surfaced in the ongoing defense strategy review, may facilitate this goal. They focus on rapid and decisive operations in distant theaters rather than on homeland defense. As generic concepts for future warfighting, they offer valuable insights on combat capabilities that should be acquired. Before these principles can be adopted, they must be scrutinized on their individual merits and integrated to …

Code Blue! Ambulance Manufacturing Specifications May Pre-Empt State Common Law Claims, Michael J. Denning

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment seeks to apply contemporary pre-emption jurisprudence to the area of federal purchasing specifications. The piece first lays the foundation of pre-emption, and more specifically discusses its inception and maturation, and then provides an analysis of how courts should apply these principles today. Next, the piece introduces federal purchasing specifications, specifically the specification governing the government's acquisition of ambulances. The comment argues that because the specification was written to provide federal uniformity to the ambulance manufacturing field, any state claim seeking to hold a manufacturer to a higher standard than that written into the specification should be pre-empted through …

Ipsilateral Dislocation Of The Shoulder And Elbow, Mohammed R. Khan, Tarek M. Mirdad

Saudi Medical Journal

Ipsilateral dislocation of shoulder and elbow joints is a rare injury. Only 2 such cases have been reported in the English literature. We report a case of a 35-year-old man involved in a road traffic accident under the influence of alcohol. He sustained posterior left elbow and anterior left shoulder dislocation with minimally displaced greater tuberosity fracture. He also had partial median nerve palsy. Under intramuscular pethidine and intravenous diazepam, close reduction of elbow followed by shoulder was carried out. At 2 months, median nerve function returned to normal. At 3 months, almost full elbow and shoulder joint movement returned. …
