Probing Nanoscale Ferroelectricity By Ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy, Dmitri Tenne, A. Bruchhausen, N. D. Lanzillotti-Kimura, A. Fainstein, R. S. Katiyar, A. Cantarero, A. Soukiassian Sep 2006

Probing Nanoscale Ferroelectricity By Ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy, Dmitri Tenne, A. Bruchhausen, N. D. Lanzillotti-Kimura, A. Fainstein, R. S. Katiyar, A. Cantarero, A. Soukiassian

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

We demonstrate that ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy is an effective technique to measure the transition temperature, Tc, accurately in ferroelectric ultrathin films and superlattices. We show that one-unit-cell thick BaTiO3 layers in BaTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices are not only ferroelectric (Tc as high as 250 K), but also polarize the quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 layers adjacent to them. Tc was tuned by ~ 500 K by varying the thicknesses of BaTiO3 and SrTiO3 layers, revealing the essential roles of electrical and mechanical boundary conditions for nanoscale ferroelectricity.

Wavelet-Based Shift-Invariant Noise Model, Fu-Tai Wang, Jenny Chih-Yu Lee, Shun-Hsyung Chang Sep 2006

Wavelet-Based Shift-Invariant Noise Model, Fu-Tai Wang, Jenny Chih-Yu Lee, Shun-Hsyung Chang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

This paper proposes the use of shift-invariant dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DT DWT) noise model to the problem of a multipath signal detection in underwater environment. The design procedure for this adaptive model of the background noise is described. When an input signal is shifted, as in a multipath environment, this shift-invariant DT DWT can generate multi-resolution subspaces. Each of them keeps more coefficient energy of this signal than DWT’s. The result of computer simulations shows that this method can improve the performance of a multipath signal detection, by reducing the false alarm probability in a range of different signal-tonoise …

Averaged Inertia Principle For Non-Newtonian Squeeze Films In Wide Parallel Plates: Couple Stress Fluid, Jaw-Ren Lin, Chi-Ren Hung, Rong-Fang Lu Sep 2006

Averaged Inertia Principle For Non-Newtonian Squeeze Films In Wide Parallel Plates: Couple Stress Fluid, Jaw-Ren Lin, Chi-Ren Hung, Rong-Fang Lu

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

On the basis of the Stokes micro-continuum theory, the combined effects of non-Newtonian couple stresses and convective fluid inertia forces upon the squeeze film characteristics of two wide parallel plates are investigated by using the averaged inertia principle. A numerical solution of the film height versus response time is calculated by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. Compared to the Newtonian-lubricant non-inertia case of Hamrock [4], the qualitative effects of couple stresses and convective inertia forces provide an increase in the film pressure, the load capacity and the response time. Moreover, the quantitative effects are more pronounced for wide parallel plates …

Search For Resonant Second Generation Slepton Production At The Fermilab Tevatron, V. M. Abazov, Kenneth A. Bloom, Gregory R. Snow, D0 Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We present a search for supersymmetry in the R-parity violating resonant production and decay of smuons and muon sneutrinos in the channels μ̃→ χ̃10μ, μ̃→ χ̃2,3,40μ, and ν̃μ→ χ̃1,2±μ. We analyzed 0:38 fb-1 of integrated luminosity collected between April 2002 and August 2004 with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The observed number of events is in agreement with the standard model expectation, and we calculate 95% C.L. limits on the slepton production cross section times branching fraction to gaugino plus muon, as a function …

Knowledge Inputs, Legal Institutions And Firm Structure: Towards A Knowledge-Based Theory Of The Firm, Erica Gorga, Michael Halberstam Sep 2006

Knowledge Inputs, Legal Institutions And Firm Structure: Towards A Knowledge-Based Theory Of The Firm, Erica Gorga, Michael Halberstam

ExpressO

Corporate scholars rely on traditional theories of the firm to analyze corporate organization and corporate contracting. Traditional theories of the firm, however, have long neglected the role of knowledge in shaping the internal structure of firms. Current analyses of firm structure that rely on these theories therefore suffer from serious shortcomings. This paper begins to address this gap by analyzing knowledge resources and investigating their influence on internal corporate governance structures. We propose a new typology that explains firm internal governance structure based on the types of knowledge used in the production process. We analyze the interaction of law and …

A Theoretical Eye Model For Uncalibrated Real-Time Eye Gaze Estimation, Justin Hnatow Sep 2006

A Theoretical Eye Model For Uncalibrated Real-Time Eye Gaze Estimation, Justin Hnatow

Theses

Computer vision systems that monitor human activity can be utilized for many diverse applications. Some general applications stemming from such activity monitoring are surveillance, human-computer interfaces, aids for the handicapped, and virtual reality environments. For most of these applications, a non-intrusive system is desirable, either for reasons of covertness or comfort. Also desirable is generality across users, especially for humancomputer interfaces and surveillance. This thesis presents a method of gaze estimation that, without calibration, determines a relatively unconstrained user’s overall horizontal eye gaze. Utilizing anthropometric data and physiological models, a simple, yet general eye model is presented. The equations that …

Theory Of Effectiveness Measurement, Richard K. Bullock Sep 2006

Theory Of Effectiveness Measurement, Richard K. Bullock

Theses and Dissertations

Effectiveness measures provide decision makers feedback on the impact of deliberate actions and affect critical issues such as allocation of scarce resources, as well as whether to maintain or change existing strategy. Currently, however, there is no formal foundation for formulating effectiveness measures. This research presents a new framework for effectiveness measurement from both a theoretical and practical view. First, accepted effects-based principles, as well as fundamental measurement concepts are combined into a general, domain independent, effectiveness measurement methodology. This is accomplished by defining effectiveness measurement as the difference, or conceptual distance from a given system state to some reference …

Behavior Problems In Children Of Battered Women, Stacey Monahan Sep 2006

Behavior Problems In Children Of Battered Women, Stacey Monahan

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to address this question: Is there a relationship between the trauma symptoms of mothers and the behavior problems of their children in the context of domestic violence? Mothers' trauma symptoms significantly correlated with their children's behavior problems in these children between the ages of 3 to 10 years. Pearson correlations revealed that the mothers' defensive avoidance scale scores significantly correlated with their children's anxious/depressed and internalizing scale scores, mothers' depression and impaired self-reference scale scores significantly correlated with their children's withdrawn and internalizing scale scores, and mothers' dysfunctional sexual behavior and tension reduction behavior …
