Experimental Measurements Of Longitudinal Load Distributions On Friction Stir Weld Pin Tools, Aaron L. Stahl Sep 2005

Experimental Measurements Of Longitudinal Load Distributions On Friction Stir Weld Pin Tools, Aaron L. Stahl

Theses and Dissertations

The longitudinal forces generated from the Friction Stir Welding process are substantial. An understanding of these forces is critical to proper tool design. This study describes a technique to measure the longitudinal force distribution on a friction stir weld pin tool. Total longitudinal forces were recorded on a dynamometer while welding 6061 aluminum with non-threaded pins that varied in length and diameter. A model was developed that characterizes pin force as a function of pin length and diameter. Results suggest that force generally increases with pin length, while forces remain relatively constant with pin diameter. Unexpected force variation was found …

Getting Real About Privacy: Eccentric Expectations In The Post-9/11 World, Jeffrey A. Breinholt Sep 2005

Getting Real About Privacy: Eccentric Expectations In The Post-9/11 World, Jeffrey A. Breinholt

ExpressO

What if science developed technology that would eliminate violent crime on American streets entirely, without jeopardizing civil liberties or personal privacy? This article describes such a scenario, and uses it to take a critical look at some of legal commentary claiming that Americans are bound to lose their rights and privacy if they fail to object to modern tools of domestic security. It concludes that those who have criticize modern scientific applications to the security challenge are overlooking well-established legal doctrines, based on eccentric fears of technology and the nation's law enforcers.

Debye Series Analysis Of Scattering Of A Plane Wave By A Spherical Bragg Grating, James A. Lock Sep 2005

Debye Series Analysis Of Scattering Of A Plane Wave By A Spherical Bragg Grating, James A. Lock

Physics Faculty Publications

The Debye series decomposition of the partial-wave scattering amplitudes of a multilayer sphere is derived. The partial-wave transmission and reflection terms appearing in the Debye series are multiple-scattering amplitudes written in terms of four basic quantities and combined together layer by layer in an identical way. The resulting expressions are then used to calculate the scattered intensity of a spherical Bragg grating covering a dielectric core particle and to analyze a number of new structures appearing in the scattered intensity.

The GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire) Point Source Catalog of ~ 30 million mid-infrared sources towards the inner Galaxy, 10 < |l| < 65 degrees and |b| < 1 degree, was used to determine the distribution of stars in Galactic longitude, latitude, and apparent magnitude. The counts versus longitude can be approximated by the modified Bessel function N=N_0*(l/l_0)*K_1(l/l_0), where l_0 is insensitive to limiting magnitude, band choice, and side of Galactic center: l_0= 17-30 degrees with a best fit value in the the 4.5 micron band of l_0=24 +/- 4 degrees. Modeling the source distribution as an exponential disk yields a radial scale length of H= 3.9 +/- 0.6 kpc. There is a pronounced north-south asymmetry in source counts for |l| < 30 degrees, with ~ 25% more stars in the north. For l=10-30 degrees, there is a strong enhancement of stars of m= 11.5-13.5 mag. A linear bar passing through the Galactic center with half-length R_bar=4.4 +/- 0.5 kpc, tilted by phi=44 +/- 10 degrees to the Sun-Galactic Center line, provides the simplest interpretation of this data. We examine the possibility that enhanced source counts at l=26-28 degrees, 31.5-34 degrees, and 306-309 degrees are related to Galactic spiral structure. Total source counts are depressed in regions where the counts of red objects (m_K-m_[8.0] >3) peak. In these areas, the counts are reduced by extinction due to molecular gas and/or high diffuse backgrounds associated with star formation.

Cross-Validated Bagged Prediction Of Survival, Sandra E. Sinisi, Romain Neugebauer, Mark J. Van Der Laan Sep 2005

Cross-Validated Bagged Prediction Of Survival, Sandra E. Sinisi, Romain Neugebauer, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In this article, we show how to apply our previously proposed Deletion/Substitution/Addition algorithm in the context of right-censoring for the prediction of survival. Furthermore, we introduce how to incorporate bagging into the algorithm to obtain a cross-validated bagged estimator. The method is used for predicting the survival time of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma based on gene expression variables.

Imaging Solar Neutrons Below 10 Mev In The Inner Heliosphere, U Bravar Sep 2005

Imaging Solar Neutrons Below 10 Mev In The Inner Heliosphere, U Bravar

Space Science Center

Inner heliosphere measurements of the Sun can be conducted with the proposed Solar Sentinel spacecraft and mission. One of the key measurements that can be made inside the orbit of the Earth is that of lower energy neutrons that arise in flares from nuclear reactions. Solar flare neutrons below 10 MeV suffer heavy weak-decay losses before reaching 1 AU. For heliocentric radii as close as 0.3 AU, the number of surviving neutrons from a solar event is dramatically greater. Neutrons from 1-10 MeV provide a new measure of heavy ion interactions at low energies, where the vast majority of energetic …

Recent Results On Clones In Matroids, James Reid Sep 2005

Recent Results On Clones In Matroids, James Reid

Combinatorics Seminar

Results that relate subsets of a matroid to minors of that matroid are important tools in the study of matroid representability. We extend these results to consider subsets of matroids that contain clones. A pair of elements x and y in a matroid are clones if the map that fixes all other elements and interchanges x and y is an automorphism. This work is joint with Jakayla Robbins and Carla Cotwright.

The Effect Of Particles On Dynamic Recrystallization And Fabric Development Of Granular Ice During Creep, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole Sep 2005

The Effect Of Particles On Dynamic Recrystallization And Fabric Development Of Granular Ice During Creep, Min Song, Ian Baker, David M. Cole

Dartmouth Scholarship

The mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of laboratory-prepared, particle-free fresh-water ice and ice with 1 wt.% (~0.43 vol.%) silt-sized particles were investigated under creep with a stress level of 1.45 MPa at −10°C. The particles were present both within the grains and along the grain boundaries. The creep rates of specimens with particles were always higher than those of particle-free ice. Dynamic recrystallization occurred for both sets of specimens, with new grains nucleating along grain boundaries in the early stages of creep. The ice with particles showed a higher nucleation rate. This resulted in a smaller average grain-size for the …

Semi-Embedding Inherited Properties On Banach Spaces, Qingying Bu Sep 2005

Semi-Embedding Inherited Properties On Banach Spaces, Qingying Bu

Analysis Seminar

A Banach space �� is said to semi-embed into a Banach space �� if there is a one-to-one linear operator from �� to �� such that the image of the closed unit ball of �� is a closed subset of ��. A Banach space property is called semi-embedding inherited if it is inherited from a Banach space �� to a Banach space �� whenever �� is separable and semi-embeds into ��. In this talk, we will discuss what properties are semi-embedding inherited.

Ritsim: Distributed Systemc Simulation, David Richard Cox Sep 2005

Ritsim: Distributed Systemc Simulation, David Richard Cox

Theses

Parallel or distributed simulation is becoming more than a novel way to speedup design evaluation; it is becoming necessary for simulating modern processors in a reasonable timeframe. As architectural features become faster, smaller, and more complex, designers are interested in obtaining detailed and accurate performance and power estimations. Uniprocessor simulators may not be able to meet such demands. The RITSim project uses SystemC to model a processor microarchitecture and memory subsystem in great detail. SystemC is a C++ library built on a discrete-event simulation kernel. Many projects have successfully implemented parallel discrete-event simulation (PDES) frameworks to distribute simulation among several …

Accident Law For Egalitarians, Ronen Avraham, Issa Kohler-Hausmann Sep 2005

Accident Law For Egalitarians, Ronen Avraham, Issa Kohler-Hausmann

ExpressO

The article goes back to the basics. It questions the fairness of our current tort law regime and the philosophical underpinnings advanced in its defense, a theory with its roots in Aristotelian thought, called corrective justice. We critique tort law and corrective justice from a standpoint of egalitarian fairness, inspired by distributive justice philosophers such as John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin. Our argument is that the strict theoretical and institutional insulation of tort law—and the normative theory underlying it, corrective justice—from other institutions and principles of justice, namely distributive and retributive justice, gives rise to deleterious consequences in terms of …
