Methodology For Determining The Variance Of The Taylor Factor: Application In Fe-3%Si, Craig P. Przybyla Nov 2005

Methodology For Determining The Variance Of The Taylor Factor: Application In Fe-3%Si, Craig P. Przybyla

Theses and Dissertations

The variance of the Taylor factor due to variations in the microstructure and window size is explored using both a random sampling method and a previously developed statistical relationship. The results from the random sampling method correlated well with the statistical variance relationship when the magnitude of the variance was greater than that of the numerical errors observed in the statistical calculation. An empirical relation was developed to model the results and the constants for this relationship were determined for pseudo-three dimensional Fe-3%Si. Implementation of the statistical variance relationship in true 3D microstructures is not limited by material opacity, since …

Totally Real Galois Representations In Characteristic 2 And Arithmetic Cohomology, Heather Aurora Florence De Melo Nov 2005

Totally Real Galois Representations In Characteristic 2 And Arithmetic Cohomology, Heather Aurora Florence De Melo

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this paper is to provide new examples supporting a conjecture of Ash, Doud, and Pollack. This conjecture involves Galois representations taking Gal(Q bar/Q) to the general linear group of 3 x 3 matrices in characterisic 2, and our examples are where complex conjugation is mapped to the identity. Since this case has not yet been examined, the results of this paper are quite significant.

The Environmental Gradients And Plant Communities Of Bergen Swamp, N.Y., U.S.A., Aaron Hall

Theses

No survey of plant communities has been performed recently in the Bergen Swamp, NY, USA, a unique strongly minerotrophic mire with active marl deposition. In summer 2004, I established an array of randomly placed plots throughout Bergen Swamp survey plant communities. The plant survey included stem counts of herbaceous plant species and shrubs within 1m square quadrats. I performed a Raup and Crick clustering analysis at two different spatial scales to group plant communities and found that there were five communities at the subplot level, and three communities at the plot level. I then used detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), an …

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has un-unveiled a new symbol and an interactive "food guidance system" called "MyPyramid: Steps to a Healthier You," which replaces the 13-year-old Food Guide Pyramid. The new program aims to support the eating and physical activity habits necessary to promote health and prevent such common diseases as obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and some cancers. Over the past few decades, population-specific scientific evidence of the effects of nutrition, activity, and body weight on health outcomes has become available. The scientific literature allowed the formulation of new and more detailed recommendations. The USDA's new system …

Grain Boundary Character Distribution In The Haz Of Friction Stir-Processed Al 7075 T7, John A. Basinger Nov 2005

Grain Boundary Character Distribution In The Haz Of Friction Stir-Processed Al 7075 T7, John A. Basinger

Theses and Dissertations

The heat affected zone (HAZ) of friction stir welded Al 7075 T7 shows diminished corrosion resistance properties when compared with the parent material. Corrosion attack in this region of the weld is primarily intergranular and is associated with the presence of precipitate free zones. Current TEM research conducted at Brigham Young University by Dr. Bin Cai finds a correlation between precipitate free zone (PFZ) width and grain boundary geometry. As both grain boundary geometry and the PFZ are associated with modes of failure in 7XXX aluminum, this paper makes a comparison of grain boundary character distributions (GBCD) in the HAZ …

Percolation In Two-Dimensional Grain Boundary Structures And Polycrystal Property Closures, David T. Fullwood Nov 2005

Percolation In Two-Dimensional Grain Boundary Structures And Polycrystal Property Closures, David T. Fullwood

Theses and Dissertations

The thesis addresses two topics in the study of material properties as determined by the microstructure. The first topic involves percolation as a tool in relating the grain boundary structure to global properties such as fracture and corrosion resistance. The second investigates optimization techniques in order to find the space of values that properties of a material can take, from consideration of the microstructure. In part I, the applicability of standard lattice percolation models to a random 2-D grain structure is explored. A random network based on the triangle lattice is proposed as a more appropriate model, and results in …

Detection And Identification Of Effluent Gases Using Invariant Hyperspectral Algorithms, Erin O'Donnell Nov 2005

Detection And Identification Of Effluent Gases Using Invariant Hyperspectral Algorithms, Erin O'Donnell

Theses

The ability to detect and identify effluent gases is a problem that has been pursued with limited success. An algorithm to do this would not only aid in the regulation of pollutants but also in treaty enforcement. Considering these applications, finding a way to remotely investigate a gaseous emission is highly desirable. This research utilizes hyperspectral imagery in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum to evaluate invariant methods of detecting and identifying gases within a scene. The image is evaluated on a pixel-by-pixel basis and is also studied at the subpixel level. A library of target gas spectra is …
