Coarse-Graining Description Of Solid Systems At Nonzero Temperature, Z.-B. Wu, Dennis J. Diestler, Ruqiang Feng, Xiao Cheng Zeng

Xiao Cheng Zeng Publications

The quasicontinuum (QC) technique, in which the atomic lattice of a solid is coarse-grained by overlaying it with a finite-element mesh, has been employed previously to treat the quasistatic evolution of defects in materials at zero temperature. It is extended here to nonzero temperature. A coarse-grained Hamiltonian is derived for the nodes of the mesh, which behave as quasiparticles whose interactions are mediated by the underlying (non-nodal) atoms constrained to move in unison with the nodes. Coarse-grained thermophysical properties are computed by means of the Monte Carlo (MC) method. This dynamically constrained QC MC procedure is applied to a simple …

Allowed Mesoscopic Point Group Symmetries In Domain Average Engineering Of Perovskite Ferroelectric Crystals, Dorian M. Hatch, H. T. Stokes, W. Cao

Faculty Publications

In multivariant systems, several energetically degenerate low temperature domain states can be produced at the structural phase transition. Coexistence of these domain states can produce mesoscopic structures that possess symmetries distinct from the microscopic single domain crystal symmetry. Such engineered domain structures in certain ferroelectric materials have been proven to give superior piezoelectric properties and extremely soft shear moduli. The objective of this article is to consider the variety of symmetries that can be produced through domain average engineering in proper ferroelectric systems arising from the cubic Pm[overline 3]m symmetry perovskite structure.

'Saddle Rock': Preemption Of Local Land Use Prerogatives, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Local municipalities have broad authority to regulate land use as provided in state legislation. Like all higher forms of legislation, state law occasionally preempts local legislatures from enacting laws. Generally preemption is appropriate when the area to be regulated by the local laws is comprehensively regulated by state law, the uniformity of the state law will benefit the localities, and inconsistencies in local law are harmful to land owners and municipalities. This article discusses the pros and cons of state preemption on various types of land use regulation.

Team Approach To Management, Al Prosch

Cornhusker Economics

In 2003 Key and Mcbride1 found that pork operations using production contracts improved productivity. They asserted that improvement in the quality of managerial inputs such as improving information transfers and facilitating access to credit may account for such improvements. Alvarez and Arias2 suggested that fixed managerial ability causes agricultural operations to suffer dis-economies of size. Managerial ability, as described by Kaldor3, consists of supervision and coordination. Supervision is crucial for numerous individuals to work together to complete the responsibilities for common production results. The coordination aspect is that function of deciding which arrangements or contracts should be entered into. While …

Preliminary Work On The Antibacterial Effect Of Strontium In Glass Ionomer Cements, A. Guida, Mark R. Towler, J. G. Wall, R. G. Hill, S. Eramo

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The antibacterial effect of strontium in glass ionomer cements (GIC) was discussed. The glass transition temperatures were found to decrease with the increasing fluorine content consistent with the fluorine replacing bridging oxygens. However no significant correlation was found between the fluoride release and the antibacterial activity.

Il-23 Produced By Cns-Resident Cells Controls T Cell Encephalitogenicity During The Effector Phase Of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, Burkhard Becher, Brigit G. Durell, Randolph J. Noelle

Dartmouth Scholarship

CNS-resident cells, in particular microglia and macrophages, are a source of inflammatory cytokines during inflammation within the CNS. Expression of IL-23, a recently discovered cytokine, has been shown to be critical for the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice. Expression of the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23 by microglia has been shown in situ and in vitro, but direct evidence for a functional significance of p40 expression by CNS cells during an immune response in vivo is still lacking. Here we report that p40 plays a critical role in maintaining encephalitogenicity during the disease course. By using …

Computation Of Effectiveness Factors For Partially Wetted Catalyst Pellets Using The Method Of Fundamental Solution, E. Palmisano, P. A. Ramachandran, K. Balakrishnan, M. (Muthanna) H. Al-Dahhan

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Trickle Bed Reactors Are Widely Used in Many Process Industries. the Catalyst Particles Are Often Incompletely Wetted Especially in the Trickling Flow Regime and Hence to Design These Reactors, the Effectiveness Factor of Partially Wetted Catalyst Needs to Be Calculated Accurately. Numerical Solutions by Traditional Methods Are Time Consuming and Not Very Accurate, Especially for Some Commonly Used Complex Catalyst Shapes Such as Trilobes, Quadrilobes Etc. the Paper Presents a Novel Numerical Solution for These Problems based on the Method of Fundamental Solutions. the Advantage of the Method is that It Involves Only Boundary Collocation and Can Be Applied to …

Origin And Implications Of The Observed Rhombohedral Phase In Nominally Tetragonal Pb(Zr0.35Ti0.65)O3 Thin Films, Paul C. Mcintyre, Alexei Gruverman, Bryan C. Hendrix, Steven M. Bilodeau, Jeffrey F. Roeder

Alexei Gruverman Publications

The structural and electrical properties of Pb(Zr_0.35Ti_0.65)O₃ (PZT) thin films ranging in thickness from 700 to 4000 Å have been investigated. These (001)/(100)-textured films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on (111)-textured Ir bottom electrodes. It was observed that, in the as-deposited state, the thinnest PZT films are rhombohedral even though bulk PZT of this composition should be tetragonal. Thicker films have a layered structure with tetragonal PZT at the surface and rhombohedral PZT at the bottom electrode interface. In this article we investigate the origin of this structure and its effect of the …

Librarians And Link Rot: A Comparative Analysis With Some Methodological Considerations, David C. Tyler, Beth Mcneil

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

The longevity of printed guides to resources on the web is a topic of some concern to all librarians. This paper attempts to determine whether guides created by specialist librarians perform better than randomly assembled lists of resources (assembled solely for the purpose of web studies), commercially created guides ('Best of the web'-type publications), and guides prepared by specialists in library science and other fields. The paper also attempts to determine whether the characteristics of included web resources have an impact on guides' longevity. Lastly, the paper addresses methodological issues of concern to this and similar studies.

Learning And Teaching And Then, Learning All Over Again: Part Two, Herb Thompson Dr.

Faculty Journal Articles

Seymour Papert (Papert 1993; 1996) believed that computers are partners in thinking and can be used to create user “micro-worlds”, where inquisitive students learn through a process of exploration and discovery. Computers invite teachers/learners to tackle more complex tasks and to ask new and different kinds of questions collaboratively.

The 3rd conference on 'Doctoral Education in Design' was hosted by several Asian design societies in partnership with the Design Research Society, and was held in parallel with the 6th Asian Design Conference, in Tsukuba, Japan, in October 2003. The call for papers stressed an overriding theme of the 'Practice of Research'. We were particularly interested in identifying best practice, and the practical application of best practice, with a focus on organising and teaching the doctorate in design.
