Electromagnetic Modeling Of Distributed Coaxial Cable Crack Sensors In Reinforced Concrete Members, Mei Wang
Electromagnetic Modeling Of Distributed Coaxial Cable Crack Sensors In Reinforced Concrete Members, Mei Wang
Masters Theses
"Distributed crack sensors were recently developed with coaxial cables that are composed of inner and outer conductors as well as dielectric layer in between. These sensors were designed based on the change in topology of the cable outer conductor structure under strain effects. Various tests of reinforced concrete (RC) beams and columns indicated that the newly designed sensors are 10~50 times more sensitive than commercial cables to the longitudinal elongation applied on their cable structures. The spatial resolution of the sensors is approximately 50 mm. Limited numerical simulations with the transmission line theory and the finite difference time domain model …
Development Of A Gis-Based Seismic Hazard Screening Tool, Andrew J. Wilding
Development Of A Gis-Based Seismic Hazard Screening Tool, Andrew J. Wilding
Masters Theses
"Geotechnical earthquake engineering hazards have consequences that are difficult to mitigate, especially for infrastructure systems with multiple and distributed components. In the last few decades significant progress has been made to provide more accurate and useful methods to evaluate hazards for complex systems. One of these advances involves the application of spatial analysis and geographic information systems (GIS), for not only presenting data as maps, but also providing more practical and usable solutions, such as calculating the hazard potential with spatial distribution. This thesis studies the evaluation of geotechnical earthquake engineering hazards within a GIS environment, using borehole-specific data and …

A Systematic Approach To Project Portfolio Selection For Economic Development In Municipalities: A Case Study In Vienna, Missouri, Amanda Danielle Alpaugh
A Systematic Approach To Project Portfolio Selection For Economic Development In Municipalities: A Case Study In Vienna, Missouri, Amanda Danielle Alpaugh
Masters Theses
"Economic development is essential for the survival of all municipalities in the United States. Economic growth, created through project implementation, brings new capital into municipalities by increasing the tax base. Smaller municipalities often struggle to implement projects that promote economic growth. These municipalities run into problems because they lack resources to hire an economic consultant and capabilities to independently complete the strategic planning process. This thesis describes an easy-to-use and easy-to-implement systematic ten-step approach to project portfolio selection for economic growth within smaller municipalities...The ten-step approach was employed in a case study performed in Vienna, Missouri. The case study involved …

A Coarse-Grain Molecular Dynamics Study Of The Nanotribological Properties Of Nanoparticle Solutions, Ramesh Chembeti
A Coarse-Grain Molecular Dynamics Study Of The Nanotribological Properties Of Nanoparticle Solutions, Ramesh Chembeti
Masters Theses
"In this study, solutions of alkanethiol-capped nanoparticles in alkane are examined using molecular dynamics simulations for their nanotribological potential based on the hypothesis that fluid molecules of very different sizes may interrupt each other's layering tendency to result in less layered or non-layered configurations and provide better lubrication for nanodevices. An effective nanoparticle-nanoparticle pair potential based on previous atomistic approach is used and the temperature and parallel pressure are controlled in place of chemical potential for defining thermodynamic state. When compressed, the confined nanoparticle-containing alkane films generate reduced oscillations in perpendicular forces and smoother expansion in lateral dimensions, indicating lesser …
Sensitivity Analysis Of Relative Worth In Empirical And Simulation-Based Qfd Matrices, Robins Mathai Kalapurackal
Sensitivity Analysis Of Relative Worth In Empirical And Simulation-Based Qfd Matrices, Robins Mathai Kalapurackal
Masters Theses
"Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is one of the most popular design tools used in product development. One of the objectives of QFD is to map customer requirements to product requirements and calculate their relative worth. A product requirement with a large relative worth indicates that it is an important product requirement in satisfying customer requirements. QFD applications use various rating scales in quantifying the degree of mapping from customer requirements to product requirements and various worth calculation methods to calculate the relative worth. The purpose of this paper is to study the sensitivity of relative worth when different rating scales …

The performance of this system during unexpected rare events is important as it is one of the lifelines that people directly depend on and other factors indirectly impact the economy of a nation. In this thesis a couple of methods that can be used to predict damage and simulate the restoration process of a water distribution system are presented. Contributing to the effort of applying computational tools to infrastructure systems, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to predict the rate of damage in the pipe …
Statistical Estimation Of Crosstalk For Cable Bundles, Meilin Wu
Statistical Estimation Of Crosstalk For Cable Bundles, Meilin Wu
Masters Theses
"Predicting electromagnetic interference problems for cable bundles early in the design stage is of significant value for both automotive and other industries. Effective methods are needed for predicting interference when little design information is known. The random variation in parameters like wire position in the bundle require that statistical variations be taken into account. In the first part of this thesis, a method to analytically predict the "reasonable worst-case crosstalk" within a cable bundle is proposed. The method uses the per-unit-length LC matrices associated with the cross-sectional geometry of the bundle to generate probability a distribution function for mutual inductance …
Role Of Microtubules In Budding Yeast Cytokinesis, Su Young Park
Role Of Microtubules In Budding Yeast Cytokinesis, Su Young Park
Masters Theses
"Cytokinesis is an important step to finish cell cycle events and separate into two daughter cells. This event is driven by actomyosin ring contraction. In budding yeast, the mitotic exit network (MEN) controls completion of ana/telophase by signaling events. Bub2 is a mitotic exit network regulator and binds to Tem1p which is an important component in MEN. Mad2 is a component of a separate spindle checkpoint. Mad2 dependent pathway prevents the metaphase to anaphase transition under spindle damage. Because yeast cells have cell walls, septum formation follows actin ring contraction. Here it was investigated how microtubule defects affect cytokinesis in …
Aflp Fingerprint Analysis Of Hybrid Salamanders In The Missouri Caverns Section Of Onondaga Cave, Maria Louise Potter
Aflp Fingerprint Analysis Of Hybrid Salamanders In The Missouri Caverns Section Of Onondaga Cave, Maria Louise Potter
Masters Theses
"Two species and one subspecies of salamander in the genus Eurycea, two species of Plethodon and one species of Typhlotriton (recently considered to be Eurycea) salamander currently reside in an area of Onondaga Cave known as the Missouri Caverns section. Due to the presence of two known interbreeding subspecies of salamanders, Eurycea Longicauda (Long-tailed salamander) and Eurycea longicauda melanopleura (Dark-sided salamander), the possibility may exist for interbreeding of one or all of these taxa. Specifically, it is hypothesized that the two species of Eurycea longicauda may interbreed with Eurycea lucifuga (Cave salamander). through visual assessment and phenotypic analysis, …
Co-Evolutionary Automated Software Correction: A Proof Of Concept, Joshua Lee Wilkerson
Co-Evolutionary Automated Software Correction: A Proof Of Concept, Joshua Lee Wilkerson
Masters Theses
"The task of ensuring that a software artifact is correct can be a very time consuming process. To be able to say that an algorithm is correct is to say that it will produce results in accordance with its specifications for all valid input. One possible way to identify an incorrect implementation is through the use of automated testing (currently an open problem in the field of software engineering); however, actually correcting the implementation is typically a manual task for the software developer. In this thesis a system is presented which automates not only the testing but also the correction …

Preserd - Privacy Ensured Service Discovery In Mobile Peer-To-Peer Environment, Santhosh Muthyapu
Preserd - Privacy Ensured Service Discovery In Mobile Peer-To-Peer Environment, Santhosh Muthyapu
Masters Theses
"In mobile peer-to-peer networks many service discovery protocols have been proposed. Most of these protocols disregard the exposure of the participating peers' privacy details, although they consider the security issues. In these methods, the participating peers must provide their identities, during the service discovery process, to be authorized to utilize the service. However, a peer might not be willing to reveal its identity until it identifies the service providing peer. So these peers face a problem; should the requesting peer or the service providing peer reveal the identity first, and hence, this is similar to the chicken-and-egg problem. The protocol …
The Asymptotic Iteration Method For The Eigenenergies Of The Complex Potential V(X) = \Gamma X^4 + I \Beta X^3 + I \Alpha X, Abdallah Jamiel Sous
The Asymptotic Iteration Method For The Eigenenergies Of The Complex Potential V(X) = \Gamma X^4 + I \Beta X^3 + I \Alpha X, Abdallah Jamiel Sous
Turkish Journal of Physics
Recently, three complex potentials V(x) = i x^3,V(x) = i x^3 + i \alpha x, and V(x) = x^4 + i \alpha x have been studied in the literature. Here, we combine these potentials in one. With the aid of the asymptotic iteration method we have numerically calculated the eigenenergies of the new complex potential. The obtained numerical results are compared with those obtained by using the WKB, EMM, and MRF methods and found to be in an excellent agreement. We discuss how an adjustable parameter \zeta can help to improve our results.

Investigation Of The Ground State Features Of Some Excotic Nuclei By Using Effective Skyrme Interaction, Hüseyi̇n Ayteki̇n, Eyyüp Tel, Ridvan Baldik
Turkish Journal of Physics
Nuclear many-body system is usually described through a mean-field built upon a nucleon-nucleon effective interaction. This interaction has been developed over the years for both stable and unstable nuclei as precise spectroscopic data has been built up. In this study, the proton and neutron densities, charge densities, root mean square (rms) nuclear charge radii, rms nuclear mass radii, rms nuclear proton and neutron radii, and neutron skin thickness were calculated for the neutron-rich Ni, Kr and Sn isotopes by the Hartree-Fock method with an effective Skyrme force based on nucleon-nucleon interactions known as SI, SIII, SVI, T3, SKM and SKM^*. …
Computational Study Of Vibrational Dynamics Of Binary Mg_{0.70}Zn_{0.30} Metallic Glass By A Pseudopotential Theory, Aditya M. Vora
Computational Study Of Vibrational Dynamics Of Binary Mg_{0.70}Zn_{0.30} Metallic Glass By A Pseudopotential Theory, Aditya M. Vora
Turkish Journal of Physics
The vibrational dynamics of Mg_{70}Zn_{30} metallic glass has been studied at room temperature in terms of phonon eigen-frequencies of longitudinal and transverse modes employing three different approaches proposed by Hubbard-Beeby (HB), Takeno-Goda (TG) and Bhatia-Singh (BS). The well-recognized model potential is employed successfully to explain electron-ion interaction in the metallic glass; instead of using experimental values of the pair correlation function g(r), which is generated from the computed pair potential. The present findings of phonon dispersion curve are found in fair agreement with available theoretical as well as experimental data. The thermodynamic properties obtained by HB and TG approaches are …

"Gene families are collections of genes with similar functions. Studying gene families is important for understanding the evolution of genes and manipulating genes. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is an enzyme found in plants. It catalyzes the deamination of phenylalanine to produce cinnamic acid. Genes for PAL have been identified in many different plant species. This project used the known sequence for the PAL1 gene in Glycine max to find other PAL genes in Glycine max"--Abstract, page iii.
Methodology And Process To Accompany A Virtual Geotechnical Database For The St. Louis Metropolitan Area, Katherine Leigh Onstad
Methodology And Process To Accompany A Virtual Geotechnical Database For The St. Louis Metropolitan Area, Katherine Leigh Onstad
Masters Theses
"The St. Louis metropolitan (STL) area, which spans Missouri and Illinois, currently has no overarching organization of geospatial data (geodata). The two states have their own geodata, using their own individual standards. The development of a virtual geotechnical database (VGDB) encompassing the entire STL area on both sides of the Mississippi River is a solution to the data sharing and standardization problem of this area. The VGDB integrates geodata from disparate sources into a geographic information systems (GIS) database accessible via the internet. The creation of the STL area VGDB consisted of three parts: 1) compiling the geodata; 2) formatting …

A Winning Proposition: The Economic Impact Of Successful Nfl Franchises, Christian M. End, Michael C. Davis
A Winning Proposition: The Economic Impact Of Successful Nfl Franchises, Christian M. End, Michael C. Davis
Economics Faculty Research & Creative Works
Research has demonstrated that a Super Bowl victory increases the personal income of the individuals in the metropolitan area from which the winning teams come (Coates & Humphreys, 2002). We argue that the economic benefits should extend beyond just the championship team's city to the cities of teams who experience seasonal success and thus the winning percentages of NFL teams were included in our model. when controlling for sources of bias, winning percentage of the local professional football team had a significant positive effect on real per capita personal income. Explanations for these conclusions are offered from a psychological perspective.
