Computer Simulation Of Inspiratory Flow And Particle Deposition In Human Oral Airway, Xiaobo Zhu Jan 2001

Computer Simulation Of Inspiratory Flow And Particle Deposition In Human Oral Airway, Xiaobo Zhu

Open Access Dissertations

In this dissertation, the inspiratory air flow and aerosol deposition in the human oral airway are simulated using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package, CFX. The dissertation consists of two parts: In the first part, a three-dimensional curvilinear body-fitted grid system was developed based on the geometry of an anatomically accurate human oral airway. The respiratory tract consists of oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx and upper trachea. Velocity profiles and pressure fields at various inspiratory flow rates observed during aerosol medicine therapy were simulated. Both laminar and turbulent models were employed depending on the Reynolds number defined at the …


Wounded Women: A Study Of Central Virginia's Civil War Pension Widows, Heather R. Racer Jan 2001

Wounded Women: A Study Of Central Virginia's Civil War Pension Widows, Heather R. Racer

Master's Theses

This thesis investigates the lives of Civil War widows who applied for pensions under the 1888 law in Virginia, concentrating on Albemarle, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland, Louisa, and Nelson Counties. The focus of the study centers on both their pre- and post-war lives to determine who these women were before and after the loss of their husbands. Using the Confederate Pension Applications, a group of 156 widows emerged from these counties. The Manuscript Census of 1860 presented a picture of pre-war life while the censuses of 1870, 1880, and 1900, along with the pension applications, helped reveal their lives after …

Automated Alignment By Hybrid Video And 3-D Video Moiré With Both Conventional And Parallel Processing, Barbara Garita, Hector Gutierrez, Ildiko Laszlo, Joel H. Blatt Jan 2001

Automated Alignment By Hybrid Video And 3-D Video Moiré With Both Conventional And Parallel Processing, Barbara Garita, Hector Gutierrez, Ildiko Laszlo, Joel H. Blatt

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

A problem common to automated assembly in manufacturing or in automated docking of spacecraft is angular and lateral alignment of components. A hybrid video system utilizing both conventional imaging and 3-D video moiré has been developed to automatically align a test target with three translational and two rotational degrees of freedom. Alignment was demonstrated via computer controlled translation and rotation stages. The video moiré system is operated in an error map mode, in which a structurally illuminated reference surface is used to chromakey the image of an identical structurally illuminated alignment target. The output is a moiré image generated by …


White Dwarfs In Common Proper Motion Binary Systems: Mass Distribution And Kinematics, Nicole M. Silvestri, Terry D. Oswalt, Matt A. Wood, Jonathan Allyn Smith, Iain Neill Reid, Edward M. Sión Jan 2001

White Dwarfs In Common Proper Motion Binary Systems: Mass Distribution And Kinematics, Nicole M. Silvestri, Terry D. Oswalt, Matt A. Wood, Jonathan Allyn Smith, Iain Neill Reid, Edward M. Sión

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

We present the mass distribution, gravitational redshifts, radial velocities, and space motions of white dwarf stars in common proper motion binary systems. The mass distribution we derive for the 41 DA white dwarfs in this study has a mean of 0.68 ± 0.04 M⊙. This distribution has a slightly higher mean and larger dispersion than most previous white dwarf studies. We hypothesize that this is due to a higher fraction of cool (average Teff ~ 10,000 K), hence old, white dwarfs in our sample. Our results indicate that samples made up of predominantly cool, old white dwarf stars tend to …


Evidence Of Different Magnetotail Responses To Small Solar Wind Pressure Pulses Depending On Imf Bz Polarity, Mark B. Moldwin, S. S. Mayerberger, Hamid K. Rassoul, Michael R. Collier, Ronald P. Lepping, James A. Slavin, Adam Szabo Jan 2001

Evidence Of Different Magnetotail Responses To Small Solar Wind Pressure Pulses Depending On Imf Bz Polarity, Mark B. Moldwin, S. S. Mayerberger, Hamid K. Rassoul, Michael R. Collier, Ronald P. Lepping, James A. Slavin, Adam Szabo

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

The response of the magnetotail to small flux rope associated pressure pulses depends on the IMF Bz polarity. Clear and large amplitude magnetotail reverse polarity South-then-North traveling compression regions (SN TCRs) are observed when the pressure pulse is associated with the northward IMF interval of the flux rope. These tail signatures correspond to small-scale (<10 minute duration) pulses of the solar wind dynamic pressure located in front of and within the small-scale flux ropes. Pressure pulses associated with IMF Bz southward are either absent or give rise to smaller amplitude compressions and less systematic lobe Bz rotations. These results suggest that the orientation of the IMF Bz plays a critical role in modulating the magnetotail response to solar wind dynamic pressure pulses.


On The Origin Of Reverse Polarity Tcrs, Mark B. Moldwin, Michael R. Collier, James A. Slavin, Adam Szabo Jan 2001

On The Origin Of Reverse Polarity Tcrs, Mark B. Moldwin, Michael R. Collier, James A. Slavin, Adam Szabo

Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications

Reverse polarity, or South-then-North (SN) bipolar, traveling compression regions (SN TCRs) are often observed in the Earth's magnetotail lobes. These events have been interpreted as either slowly earthward propagating "proto-plasmoids" during extremely quiet geomagnetic conditions, or due to pressure pulses in the solar wind or magnetosheath compressing the magnetotail. This study presents a survey of 21 IMP 8 observations of SN TCRs and the corresponding solar wind pressure conditions as measured by WIND. We found that solar wind or magnetosheath pressure pulses nicely explain most (17), though not all, of the SN TCR observations. Therefore, it appears that both explanations …

The Equal Pay Act As Appropriate Legislation Under Section 5 Of The Fourteenth Amendment: Can State Employers Be Sued?, Thane Somerville Jan 2001

The Equal Pay Act As Appropriate Legislation Under Section 5 Of The Fourteenth Amendment: Can State Employers Be Sued?, Thane Somerville

Washington Law Review

Congress may constitutionally abrogate state sovereign immunity only through legislation enacted pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In Kimel v. Florida Board of Regents, the U.S. Supreme Court held the Age Discrimination in Employment Act to be inappropriate Section 5 legislation. Kimel was the first time the Court held an anti-discrimination statute enacted to protect civil rights inapplicable to the states. Based on the Kimel decision, other civil rights statutes, such as the Equal Pay Act (EPA), may face similar challenges. This Comment argues that the EPA is appropriate Section 5 legislation. Unlike …


Protecting The Tax-Exempt Status Of Housing Developers Participating In Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Partnershps, Marni Hussong Jan 2001

Protecting The Tax-Exempt Status Of Housing Developers Participating In Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Partnershps, Marni Hussong

Washington Law Review

The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is an important source of federal funding for developers of affordable housing for low-income persons. Although for-profit and nonprofit developers compete for credits, the federal government reserves ten percent of the credits for nonprofit, tax-exempt developers. Exempt developers often sell the credits to for-profit investors, forming a partnership through which the exempt organization develops the housing and the investors receive tax benefits in exchange for capital contributions. The partnership formation, however, may jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the nonprofit organizations and result in the partnership losing the LIHTC. To maintain exempt status, the Internal …

An intense and deeply divided debate is taking place over the testing of a short course of AZT to prevent maternal-fetal transmission of HIV in the developing world.' A long course of AZT-administered to HIV-infected pregnant women during their pregnancy and immediately before labor, and then to their newborn children for six weeks-is generally accepted in the United States as providing extensive protection against maternal-fetal transmission of HIV Given the expense and lengthy administration of the long course, American researchers in the developing world designed studies to test the efficacy of a shorter course of AZT administered during late pregnancy …


The Death Penalty In Virginia: Attempts At Legislative Reform, Tara Elgie Jan 2001

The Death Penalty In Virginia: Attempts At Legislative Reform, Tara Elgie

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

This paper will argue that the time has come for legislative reform of capital punishment. It will briefly examine the history of the death penalty, focusing on the provisions under which it was reinstated and whether those provisions are met under today's implementation. Then it will look to recent attempts by the Virginia General Assembly to reform the procedures by which it implements the death penalty. The paper will also explore public perception of the death penalty as an explanation for why the death penalty persists as the ultimate punishment, despite recent problems with its implementation.

A Case Study Of Nairobi City Council's Decentralised Syphilis Screening Programme In Antenatal Clinics, Baker Ndugga Maggwa, Ian Askew, Elizabeth Mugwe, Bilhah Hagembe, Rick Homan Jan 2001

A Case Study Of Nairobi City Council's Decentralised Syphilis Screening Programme In Antenatal Clinics, Baker Ndugga Maggwa, Ian Askew, Elizabeth Mugwe, Bilhah Hagembe, Rick Homan

Reproductive Health

It has long been known that syphilis is one of the more serious sexually transmitted infections (STI), especially during pregnancy when, if untreated, at least 60 percent of infected women will experience an adverse pregnancy outcome. There has been renewed interest in its control and prevention because of its proven link with HIV transmission. In 1992, the Nairobi City Council (NCC) pilot-tested a decentralized approach to syphilis screening and management in a sample of their antenatal clinics. A case study was carried out to assess the effectiveness, readiness, and cost effectiveness of the NCC’s antenatal care program, with a focus …


Bénin: Target Men To Increase Use Of Health Services, Frontiers In Reproductive Health Jan 2001

Bénin: Target Men To Increase Use Of Health Services, Frontiers In Reproductive Health

Reproductive Health

After initiating health sector reforms in 1994, the Bénin government established the Integrated Family Health Project, known as PROSAF. Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, PROSAF operates in the Borgou region, which is mostly rural and has the country’s most severe health problems. PROSAF managers wanted to understand why local people were not using health services, despite their poor health. As noted in this brief, managers requested that the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC) study the way households and communities make decisions on health care. In a study conducted in 2000 with support from the Population …
