Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus Jan 2004

Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Fundamental research is openly conducted science and engineering research carried out at institutions of higher education in the United States. Faculty, students, collaborators and other researchers in these institutions engage in the free, constant and lively exchange of ideas with their peers in the U.S. and abroad. Based on changes made by Congress in 1999, universities operating in the public domain and carrying out unclassified space-based research in various disciplines may find that they are not allowed to involved foreign students, faculty and collaborators in the research unless they obtain an export license from the State department. Based on ITAR …

Lawsuit Abandonment Options In Possibly Frivolous Litigation Games, Peter H. Huang Jan 2004

Lawsuit Abandonment Options In Possibly Frivolous Litigation Games, Peter H. Huang

Publications

This paper develops a new theory of possibly frivolous litigation by focusing on a plaintiff's options to unilaterally abandon a lawsuit. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(i) and its various state law counterparts permit, under certain circumstances, a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss her lawsuit without prejudice. This paper's options approach to litigation, including quite possibly, frivolous litigation is placed in the context of the literature of economic models about litigation in general and frivolous litigation in particular. This paper demonstrates that possibly frivolous lawsuits will be filed and settled when the values of a plaintiff's options to unilaterally abandon litigation …


Guard-Ring Electrode Effects On Crosstalk In Simulated 2d Cmos Compatible Vertical Photodiode Pixel Arrays, Paul Jansz-Dravetzky, Steven Hinckley Jan 2004

Guard-Ring Electrode Effects On Crosstalk In Simulated 2d Cmos Compatible Vertical Photodiode Pixel Arrays, Paul Jansz-Dravetzky, Steven Hinckley

Research outputs pre 2011

In this study, we have simulated the electrical crosstalk in back-illuminated and front-illuminated photodiode arrays as a function of substrate thickness and junction depth for single junction photodiode pixels, with and without guard-ring electrodes. The physical mechanisms responsible for electrical crosstalk suppression are explained using an absorption volume proportion concept. The results obtained show that significant crosstalk suppression can be achieved for back-illuminated thin substrate guarded-pixel arrays


The Use Of Assessment Data In Academic Strategic Planning., Susan L. Aloi Jan 2004

The Use Of Assessment Data In Academic Strategic Planning., Susan L. Aloi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study was based on the philosophical premise that the mission of an institution of higher education should be focused on student-learning outcomes, and all strategic decisions need to be made in accordance with what has been proven to enhance student learning. Because the assessment process results in data that can determine what conditions positively affect student learning, these data should be used to make the strategic decisions that affect the core student-learning mission of the institution. The intent of this research project was to cull best practices in integrating assessment with planning from institutions that have productive planning and …


An Efficient Method For Texture-Based Image Retrieval., Umasankar Kandaswamy Jan 2004

An Efficient Method For Texture-Based Image Retrieval., Umasankar Kandaswamy

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The extraction of significant features from an image is a primary process in content-based analysis of image data. It is also a computationally intensive process. Using an appropriate approximation of the original image with effective signal processing can decrease the computational cost of the feature extraction process by orders of magnitude. This thesis shows that a pertinent approximation for texture images when used with a proposed distance measure can lead to a significant reduction in the cost of texture image analysis without introducing any significant error in the retrieval performance. An evaluation of the hypothesis is conducted in two popular …


Study Of Surface Regeneration: Characteristics Of A Candle Filter At High Temperature., Balakrishnan Viswanathan Jan 2004

Study Of Surface Regeneration: Characteristics Of A Candle Filter At High Temperature., Balakrishnan Viswanathan

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A hot gas particulate filtration system requires effective removal of particles to protect the downstream equipments. The leading technology for particle removal is the ceramic barrier filter technology. The ceramic candle filters are most promising to survive at temperatures up to 1600◦ F. At these high temperatures, there are certain problems that have to be dealt with candle filters. During the filtration process, with time, there is an accumulation of an ash cake on the outer surface of the filter. This causes the pressure drop through the thickness of the filter wall to increase with time. A back pulse in …


Developing Intelligent Synthetic Logs: Application To Upper Devonian Units In Pennsylvania., Luisa F. Rolon Jan 2004

Developing Intelligent Synthetic Logs: Application To Upper Devonian Units In Pennsylvania., Luisa F. Rolon

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A methodology to generate synthetic wireline logs is presented. Synthetic logs can help to analyze the reservoir properties in areas where the set of logs that are necessary, are absent or incomplete. The approach presented involves the use of Artificial Neural Networks, as the main tool, in conjunction with data obtained from conventional wireline logs. Implementation of this approach aims to reduce operation costs to companies. Development of the neural network model was completed using a General Regression Neural Network, and four wells that included gamma ray, density, neutron, and resistivity logs. Synthetic logs were generated through two different exercises. …


Estimating The Impact Of Occupational Fatal Injuries On The United States Gross Domestic Product., Elyce Anne Biddle Jan 2004

Estimating The Impact Of Occupational Fatal Injuries On The United States Gross Domestic Product., Elyce Anne Biddle

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Mankind has been concerned with the safety and well-being of workers for more than 2,000 years. Despite this concern, occupational injuries have claimed the lives of nearly 60,000 American workers from 1992-2001 as reported through the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program. The traditional measures of the human loss used—frequency, rate, and severity—are not the only measures of the achievements of the occupational safety and health community. Nor are they the only means to direct efforts to reduce the number of occupational incidents. Economic loss is another perspective that provides a more complete and meaningful …


An Intelligent Navigation System For An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Dedy Loebis Jan 2004

An Intelligent Navigation System For An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Dedy Loebis

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

The work in this thesis concerns with the development of a novel multisensor data fusion (MSDF) technique, which combines synergistically Kalman filtering, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm approaches, aimed to enhance the accuracy of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation system, formed by an integration of global positioning system and inertial navigation system (GPS/INS). The Kalman filter has been a popular method for integrating the data produced by the GPS and INS to provide optimal estimates of AUVs position and attitude. In this thesis, a sequential use of a linear Kalman filter and extended Kalman filter is proposed. The former …


A Large Late Pleistocene Outburst Flood From Pluvial Lakes Alvord And Coyote Into The Owyhee River, Oregon, Deron Torrey Carter Jan 2004

A Large Late Pleistocene Outburst Flood From Pluvial Lakes Alvord And Coyote Into The Owyhee River, Oregon, Deron Torrey Carter

All Master's Theses

A large late-Pleistocene flood traveled into the Owyhee River as a result of a rise and subsequent outburst from pluvial Lake Alvord in southeastern Oregon. Lake Alvord breached Big Sand Gap after reaching an elevation of 1292 m, releasing 11.3 km3 into the adjacent Coyote Basin before stabilizing at an elevation of about 1280 m. Overflow then spilled out of the Coyote Basin through two outlets at 1278 m and into the Crooked Creek drainage of the Owyhee River. The flood created a series of deeply incised canyons, scabland topography and deposited numerous boulder bars containing imbricated clasts up to …

The Dual Spectral Set Conjecture, Steen Pedersen Jan 2004

The Dual Spectral Set Conjecture, Steen Pedersen

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Suppose that Λ = (aZ + b) ∪ (cZ + d) where a, b, c, d are real numbers such that a ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0. The union is not assumed to be disjoint. It is shown that the translates Ω + λ, λ is an element of Λ, tile the real line for some bounded measurable set Ω if and only if the exponentials eλ(x) = ei2πλx, λ is an element of Λ, form an orthogonal basis for some bounded measurable set Ω'.
