Bulk Silicon Based Temperature Sensor, Bharath Bethala Kishanlal Premchand

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A bulk silicon temperature sensor is fabricated in this work. The objective is to develop a low-cost high resolution temperature sensor. The target applications are a Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor for oceanic applications and a magnetocaloric microcooler.

The properties of silicon are modified by thermal diffusion of gold. Gold is a fast diffuser in silicon and its diffusion contributes to the increase in resistivity of silicon. The addition of gold to n-type silicon creates a negative temperature coefficient device. The effect of the diffusing environment was investigated by diffusing in oxygen and nitrogen ambient at various temperatures. The influence of area …

Institutional Collective Action And Local Goverance, Richard C. Feiock

Working Group on Interlocal Services Cooperation

This paper elaborates the institutional collective action framework and its applications to cooperative interlocal service agreements among governments in metropolitan areas. It begins by outlining the information, negotiation, enforcement and agency cost that pose obstacles to cooperative interlocal arrangements. Next it identifies how these transaction costs, and the ability of local actors to overcome them, depend on: 1) characteristics of services; 2) characteristics of communities; 3) political institutions; and 4) structures of policy networks. Specific propositions regarding evolution and effectiveness of interlocal cooperation are advanced and an agenda to investigate institutional collective action among local governments is presented.

Perpetuities Or Tax: Explaining The Rise Of The Perpetual Trust, Max M. Schanzenbach, Robert H. Sitkoff

Public Law and Legal Theory Papers

By abolishing the Rule Against Perpetuities, 21 states have validated perpetual trusts. The prevailing view among scholars is that the 1986 generation skipping transfer (GST) tax prompted the movement to abolish the Rule by conferring a salient tax advantage on long-term trusts. However, an alternate view holds that demand for perpetual trusts stems from donors’ preference for control independent of tax considerations. Proponents of both views have adduced supporting anecdotal evidence. Using state-level panel data on trust assets prior to the adoption of the GST tax, we examine whether a state’s abolition of the Rule gave the state an advantage …

Mobiquery: A Spatiotemporal Query Service For Mobile Users In Sensor Networks, Guoliang Xing, Sangeeta Bhattacharya, Chenyang Lu, Octav Chipara, Chien-Liang Fok, Gruia-Catalin Roman

All Computer Science and Engineering Research

This paper presents MobiQuery, a spatiotemporal query service that allows mobile users to periodically collect sensor data from the physical environment through wireless sensor networks. A salient feature of \MQ is that it can meet stringent spatiotemporal performance constraints, including query latency, data freshness, and changing areas of interest due to user mobility. We present three just-in-time prefetching protocols that enable MobiQuery to achieve desired spatiotemporal performance despite low node duty cycles, while significantly reducing communication overhead. We validate our approach through both theoretical analysis and extensive simulations under realistic settings including varying user movement patterns and location errors.

Upaya Perlindungan Hki Yang Terkait Dengan Grtkf Di Tingkat Nasional Dan Internasional: Upaya Yang Belum Sebanding, Agus Sardjono

Indonesian Journal of International Law

Indonesia is often referred as the fifth largest country that having Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) infringements, it does however not necessarily make Indonesia as a state that does not protect IPR, since Indonesia does have several major laws on IPR protections. The fact has shown on the other hands that the developed nations are not sterile from misappropriation of those IPRs that are primarily corresnponded to the interest of developing countries such as “Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore”. The conventional concept of IPR is considered unable to deliver the protection for Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge, and Folklore (GRTKF) because …
