Methods For Identifying Acoustic Emissions From The Front Face Of A Small Piezoelectric Blower, Brad K. Solomon
Methods For Identifying Acoustic Emissions From The Front Face Of A Small Piezoelectric Blower, Brad K. Solomon
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis focuses on identifying acoustic noise generating components in piezoelectric blowers through transverse velocity measurements and the development of a numerical fluid model. Piezoelectric ceramics have proven useful for many industries and areas of research involving: high precision actuators, noise control, ultrasonic devices, and many other areas. As of late, a unique adaptation of piezoelectric ceramics is surfacing in the area of pumping and cooling. Air pumps that use these ceramics replace the traditional electric motor, resulting in lower power consumption, less moving parts, constant pressure gradients, lower overall weight, and a low profile. The current drawback of this …

Crystal Structures And Kinetics Of Monofunctional Proline Dehydrogenase Provide Insight Into Substrate Recognition And Conformational Changes Associated With Flavin Reduction And Product Release, Min Luo, Benjamin W. Arentson, Dhiraj Srivastava, Donald F. Becker, John J. Tanner
Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications
Proline dehydrogenase catalyzes the FAD-dependent oxidation of proline to Δ1- pyrroline-5- carboxylate, which is the first step of proline catabolism. Here, we report the structures of proline dehydrogenase from Deinococcus radiodurans in the oxidized state complexed with the proline analog L-tetrahydrofuroic acid and in the reduced state with the proline site vacant. The analog binds against the si face of the FAD isoalloxazine and is protected from bulk solvent by the α8 helix and the β1-α1 loop. The FAD ribityl chain adopts two conformations in the E-S complex, which is unprecedented for flavoenzymes. One of the conformations is novel for …

George Dibble And The Struggle For Modern Art In Utah, Sarah Dibble
George Dibble And The Struggle For Modern Art In Utah, Sarah Dibble
Theses and Dissertations
In this thesis I explore the spread of modern art to conservative regions of the country, in particular Utah. By using George Dibble as a case study this thesis will also address the struggle that Utah artists had to endure to have their progressive ideas in art be accepted in such a conservative area. It will address the criticism that Dibble had to endure by discussing specific incidents involved with certain works of art. Although there were plenty of people who did not like modern art, there were some institutions and people who were advocates of this progressive form of …
Alternative Aefie-Efie Method For Broadband Cem Modeling, Jia Liu, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
Alternative Aefie-Efie Method For Broadband Cem Modeling, Jia Liu, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
It is well known that the electric field integral equation (EFIE) has the low frequency breakdown problem while the Augmented electric field integral equation (AEFIE) method has the high frequency breakdown issue. To obtain a unified method that works for both low and high frequencies without manual switching of methods, a novel and simple method is proposed in this paper. It uses AEFIE and EFIE to compensate each other iteratively in all frequency regimes to guarantee the accuracy of the solution. As a result, it effectively extends AEFIE to the high frequency regime and extends EFIE to the low frequency …

A Ricardian Analysis Of The Impact Of Climate Change On European Agriculture, Steven Van Passel, Emanuele Massetti, Robert Mendelsohn
A Ricardian Analysis Of The Impact Of Climate Change On European Agriculture, Steven Van Passel, Emanuele Massetti, Robert Mendelsohn
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This research estimates the impact of climate on European agriculture using a continental scale Ricardian analysis. Data on climate, soil, geography and regional socio-economic characteristics were matched for 37 612 individual farms across the EU-15. Farmland values across Europe are sensitive to climate. Even with the adaptation captured by the Ricardian technique, farms in Southern Europe are predicted to suffer sizeable losses (8% -13% per degree Celsius) from warming. In contrast, agriculture in the rest of Europe is likely to see only mixed impacts. Increases (decreases) in rain will increase (decrease) average farm values by 3% per centiliter of precipitation. …
Temporal Fluctuations Of The Sound Speed Field And How They Affect Acoustic Mode Structures And Coherence, Felipe Messias G. Lourenco
Temporal Fluctuations Of The Sound Speed Field And How They Affect Acoustic Mode Structures And Coherence, Felipe Messias G. Lourenco
Open Access Theses
In an idealized shallow water propagation channel with smooth boundaries and range independent sound speed profiles, normal modes can accurately describe the entire sound field which can be predicted using normal mode models. We also know that fluctuations in the sound field can be caused by fluctuations in the sound speed profile or by source/receiver motion. These phenomena are deterministic and can be simulated by changes in the mode shape or by a combination of the motion of modes past the receiver. If the fluctuations are small then small changes will occur in mode shape or in the mode positions, …
The Importance Of The Rare: The Role Of Background Symbiodinium In The Response Of Reef Corals To Environmental Change, Rachel N. Silverstein
The Importance Of The Rare: The Role Of Background Symbiodinium In The Response Of Reef Corals To Environmental Change, Rachel N. Silverstein
Open Access Dissertations
Reef ecosystems throughout much of the tropics are predicted to decline in coral cover and diversity as a result of ongoing climate change (ocean acidification, temperature increases, sea level rise), disease, pollution, and overfishing. Corals may be able to respond to some of these stressors by associating with diverse algal symbionts (Symbiodinium spp.) which vary in their physiological traits and therefore expand corals’ realized niche space. This dissertation used high-sensitivity molecular techniques to investigate the presence and functional role of "background" or "rare" Symbiodinium, which occur at low abundance, and therefore may not be detected using standard molecular methods. First, …
Predictors Of Hiv/Aids Related Stigma And Discrimination Among Anglophone Caribbean Women, Kimberly A. Hires
Predictors Of Hiv/Aids Related Stigma And Discrimination Among Anglophone Caribbean Women, Kimberly A. Hires
Open Access Dissertations
The effects of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) global epidemic continue to emerge decades after teh first wave of infection. One key aspect of the HIV epidemic that is significantly impacted by culture and knowledge of HIV transmission is stigma, specifically HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination (HASD). The Caribbean region has the second highest HIV prevalence rate in the world. In 2011, there were approximately 13,000 new infections and 10,000 AIDS related deaths among adults and children in the Caribbean. Three Anglophone nations significantly impacted by the HIV epidemic are Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. HASD has been identified …

Civic Capital And The Size Distribution Of Plants: Short-Run Dynamics And Long-Run Equilibrium, Matthias Bürker, G. Alfredo Minerva
Civic Capital And The Size Distribution Of Plants: Short-Run Dynamics And Long-Run Equilibrium, Matthias Bürker, G. Alfredo Minerva
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
We characterize how the size distribution of plants, within narrowly defined industries, changed in Italy over a ten-year time span, and relate this to the stock of civic capital at the provincial level. Data on plant size come from the 1991 and 2001 Italian censuses. Civic capital turns out to have a positive effect on both the average and standard deviation of size. Looking at several precise points of the plant size distribution, we find that it shifts toward the right and becomes more dispersed where civic capital is high. The potential endogeneity of current civic capital is addressed by …
Redistribution Effects Of Energy And Climate Policy: The Electricity Market, Lion Hirth, Falko Ueckerdt
Redistribution Effects Of Energy And Climate Policy: The Electricity Market, Lion Hirth, Falko Ueckerdt
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
Energy and climate policies are usually seen as measures to internalize externalities. However, as a side effect, these policies redistribute wealth between consumers and producers, and within these groups. While redistribution is seldom the focus of the academic literature in energy economics, it plays a central role in real world policy debates. This paper compares the redistribution effects of two major electricity policies: support schemes for renewable energy sources, and CO2 pricing. We find that the redistribution effects of both policies are large, and they work in opposed directions: while renewables support transfers wealth from producers to consumers, carbon pricing …

A Regionalized National Universal Kriging Model Using Partial Least Squares Regression For Estimating Annual Pm2.5 Concentrations In Epidemiology, Paul D. Sampson, Mark Richards, Adam A. Szpiro, Silas Bergen, Lianne Sheppard, Timothy V. Larson, Joel Kaufman
UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series
Many cohort studies in environmental epidemiology require accurate modeling and prediction of fine scale spatial variation in ambient air quality across the U.S. This modeling requires the use of small spatial scale geographic or “land use” regression covariates and some degree of spatial smoothing. Furthermore, the details of the prediction of air quality by land use regression and the spatial variation in ambient air quality not explained by this regression should be allowed to vary across the continent due to the large scale heterogeneity in topography, climate, and sources of air pollution. This paper introduces a regionalized national universal kriging …

Corporate Social Responsibility And Firms’ Performance: A Stratigraphical Analysis, Nicola Comincioli, Laura Poddi, Sergio Vergalli
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
Over the last two decades in OECD countries an increasing number of firms are obtaining certification as Socially Responsible (CSR is the acronym for Corporate Social Responsibility). Several studies (including Preston and O’Bannon, 1997; Waddock and Graves, 1997; McWilliams and Sieger, 2001; Ullman, 1985) have sought to test whether there is a relation between Social Responsibility certification and the firms’ performance. Our work builds a CSR index that intersects two of the three main international indices (Domini 400 Social Index, Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, FTSE4Good Index), in order to overcome some problems related to the multiplicity of CSR definitions …
Competitiveness And Leakage Concerns And Border Carbon Adjustments, Zhongxiang Zhang
Competitiveness And Leakage Concerns And Border Carbon Adjustments, Zhongxiang Zhang
Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers
This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles. Section 2 discusses how to identify the sectors at a risk of carbon leakage. Section 3 examines ex ante estimates of potential carbon leakage rates, and explains why they differ from ex post results of environmental tax reforms and greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes that have been implemented in the European Union. Section 4 discusses broad policy options …
A Guide To Documenting Software Design For Maximum Software Portability For Software Defined Radios, Joseph Snively
A Guide To Documenting Software Design For Maximum Software Portability For Software Defined Radios, Joseph Snively
Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)
The use of software defined communications systems is growing incredibly fast. The field of software engineering as a discipline has not adequately addressed the subject of software portability which makes large and costly software development efforts less ready to port to future platforms. By understanding the causes of portability problems, they can either be avoided altogether in development or very well documented so that they are easier to overcome in future efforts. Literature, case studies, and surveys are used to collect opinions and information about large software programs where portability is a desirable characteristic in order to best establish the …

Manipulation Of Plants By Transformation With Sequences Promoting Cell Division, Victor B. Busov, Steven H. Strauss
Michigan Tech Patents
Polynucleotides encode polypeptides for increasing the rate of growth of plants. Introduction of the polynucleotides into plants produces plants having altered characteristics, such as increased growth, increased leaf area and reduced fertility. Expression of polypeptides in plants or plant cells promotes cell division. Expression of the polynucleotides in plants in the antisense orientation produces plants that are sterile or have smaller leaves.
