The Evolution Of Brassiere In The 20th Century, Jolene Khor

Honors Theses

It is common knowledge that a brassiere, more widely known as a bra, is an important if not a vital part of a modern woman’s wardrobe today. In the 21^st century, a brassiere is no more worn for function as it is for fashion. In order to understand the evolution of function to fashion of a brassiere, it is necessary to account for its historical journey from the beginning to where it is today. This thesis paper, titled The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20^th Century will explore the history of brassiere in the last 100 years. While …

Predicting Stock Market Using Online Communities Raw Web Traffic Streams, Pierpaolo Dondio

Articles

This paper investigates the predictive power of online communities traffic in regard to stock prices. Using the largest dataset to date, spanning 8 years and almost the complete set of SP500 stocks, we analyze the predictive power of raw unstructured traffic by filtering stock daily returns with traffic features. Our results partially challenge the assumption that raw traffic simply trails stock prices, as expected from a noisy signal without the sentiment direction. Raw traffic is shown to predict prices with statistical significance but with small economic impact. Anyway, this impact rises to moderate under the following conditions: 3 to 7 …

Distribution System Operation With Solid State Controller And Energy Storage Management, F. Meng, D. Shah, B. H. Chowdhury, M. L. Crow

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A novel distribution system infrastructure is proposed with solid state controller locating at load sites. an energy storage management algorithm is developed to optimize battery charge/discharge operation using forward dynamic programming method. This algorithm is implemented in a system test bed in PSCAD. the simulation results present economic benefits to private customers with reduced energy cost. It also reduces system peak demand which may improve system reliability. © 2012 IEEE.

A Circular Polarization Hybrid-Integrated Rectangular Ring Antenna For Rfid Reader, Yan Li, Sheng Sun, Lijun Jiang, Terry T. Ye

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, a compact hybrid-integrated microstrip rectangular ring antenna with circular polarization is proposed for RFID reader. By integrating a cross-slotted patch hybrid with a rectangular ring antenna in the same plane, the proposed antenna has the features of circular polarization, compact size, low cost, light weight and unique flexibility for RFID applications. A prototype operating at 915 MHz is designed and fabricated. The measured results agree well with the simulated results. © 2012 IEEE.

Implementation Of A Microgrid Central Controller In A Laboratory Microgrid Network, Md Rasheduzzaman, Shyam N. Bhaskara, Badrul H. Chowdhury

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

When distributed generation (DG) units operate in a microgrid environment, there is a need for coordinated operation between the DGs, the utility grid and the loads. a Microgrid Central Controller (MGCC) can keep track of the status from the systemic point of view and command the local micro source controllers (MC) to ensure system stability. in various modes of operation, vis-à-vis grid-connected, islanded and during transition from grid-connected to islanded mode and vice versa, the MGCC can support the MCs by feeding the necessary information to contribute towards stable system operation. This paper discusses the implementation of the MGCC for …

An Automated Forward Operating Base Electrical Distribution System Simulator, Onur Kahveci, Mariesa L. Crow, Steven Corns

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, an automated forward operating base electrical distribution system simulator (ODCC) is developed. the ODCC has been developed based on the open platform distribution system simulator (DSS) that is able to create variable models of electrical systems and performing many types of analysis. © 2012 IEEE.

Emotion Regulation Profiles: Identification Of Subgroups During Middle Childhood, Kelly Buckholdt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This study utilizes a unique approach for examining the role of emotion-related characteristics in predicting adjustment during childhood. The first aim of this study was to examine emotion-related characteristics using a person-centered approach in order to identify subgroups of children based on emotion regulation profiles. These profiles consisted of scores on nine emotion-related variables, assessed through children's self-reports of the experience and expression of sadness and anger, as well as the strategies they used for modifying these emotions. The second aim of the study was to determine if subgroup membership was associated with self- and peer-reports of adjustment (i.e., self-reported …

The Far Field Transformation Using The Iterative Srm Based On The Phaseless Data, Ping Li, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Conventional equivalent source reconstruction methods (SRM) require both phase and amplitude information of the field data. However, there are situations where the phase information is not easy to obtain. Hence, developing novel SRM based on phaseless data is necessary. In this paper, a novel iterative SRM based on two sets of measured phaseless data is presented. It can reproduce the 3D radiation pattern with very good accuracy. Integral equation (IE) is employed to build reconstruct equivalent source. Combined field IE (CFIE) is also employed to obtain more physical current distribution. © 2012 IEEE.

A Single-Layer Compact Hf-Uhf Dual-Band Rfid Tag Antenna, Zi Long Ma, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang, Jingtian Xi, Terry Tao Ye

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This letter presents a novel dual-band (HF and UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna. Two key challenges are faced: the compact dimension and the impaired bandwidth due to the couplings between two band structures. To enable the implementation of whole design on a credit-card-size single-layer support, a spiral coil along the edges of the card is designed to handle the HF (13.56 MHz) near-field coupling, and the UHF antenna is placed inside the coil instead of outside. Meanwhile, a diagonal symmetric design consisting of two meander lines inside the spiral coil is adopted for UHF band. This structure supports …

Insights And Blind Spots: A Qualitative Analysis Of Risk In Psychiatric Security Review Board Hearings, Abby Kealani Balfour

Dissertations and Theses

The prevalence and consequences of the insanity plea, titled "guilty except for insanity" in the State of Oregon, are fraught with misconceptions. The use of the plea requires a complex set of interactions between the mental health and criminal justice systems, and comes with severe costs for people who use it. Most of the research on the psychological aspects of the insanity plea emphasizes empirical validity in the form of risk assessment instruments and/or the biomedical model with its focus on disease and illness. This thesis analyzes from community psychology and critical theory perspectives the decision process of hearings held …
