Inter-Cross De-Modulated Refractive Index And Temperature Sensor By An Etched Multi-Core Fiber Of A Mzi Structure, Farhan Mumtaz, Yutang Dai, Muhammad Aqueel Ashraf

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

We present a relative sensitivity of in-fiber inter-cross demodulation of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on an etched multi-core fiber (eMCF). The sensor can measure the external refractive index (RI) and temperature with a large fringe visibility of 15 dB. It is tuned using a simple technique of slow chemical etching. When the outer cores of MCF will be exposed to the surrounding, a large difference of relative effective RI is observed, which enhances the sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor's wavelength and intensity responses have displayed that it can function with three different inter-cross-demodulation phenomena. A superior RI sensitivity …

Advances In The Understanding Of Auxin Signaling Through Indirect Mechanisms, Ryan Joseph Emenecker

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

The plant hormone auxin is remarkable in its capacity to seemingly regulate all plant growth and developmental processes. Because of this, plants have evolved numerous mechanisms to allow for specific responses to auxin dependent on tissue type and developmental stage. Despite the importance of this specificity, we understand very little with respect to the molecular mechanisms underlying it. In this work, we examine two mechanisms used by plants to modulate auxin response across different tissues. First, we describe our finding that auxin interactions with another plant hormone, abscisic acid, is used as a mechanism to regulate auxin responsiveness in the …

Structural Insights Into Host-Pathogen Interactions Of Alphaviruses, Katherine Basore

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Alphaviruses are arthropod-borne, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses of the Togaviridae family that infect various vertebrates worldwide in tropical and temperate areas, causing emerging and reemerging diseases in humans. Mature virions are 70 nm in diameter and contain a ~11-kilobase genome encapsidated within a nucleocapsid core, a host-derived lipid bilayer, and an envelope comprised of heterodimers of the glycoproteins E1 and E2 arranged into trimeric spikes with T=4 icosahedral symmetry. Alphaviruses are categorized into two groups based on their clinical symptoms: the arthritogenic alphaviruses, such as chikungunya (CHIKV), Mayaro (MAYV), Ross River (RRV), Semliki Forest (SFV), and O’nyong-nyong (ONNV) viruses, which …

Flow Patterns, Velocity Distributions And Mixing Time In Stirred Tank Reactor Under A Range Of Operating Conditions, Nor Haslina Abdullah

Student Works (2020-2029)

The present work employed a two-dimensional Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) technique to determine the flow patterns and velocity distributions of a down-pumping pitched-blade turbine (4PB) and a Rushton turbine (RT) in a flat-bottom fully baffled stirred vessel (T=0.155m) using distilled water and glycerin as liquids. Fluid velocities increased as the impeller speed increased from 50rpm to 300rpm for both fluids and the RT impeller reached a maximum value of velocity of 1.42m/s at the blade tip. The 4PB had higher velocity compared to RT in glycerin, but RT had higher velocity than 4PB in distilled water. In water, radial flow …

An Experimental Investigation Into The Effect Of Treatment Temperature On The Grain Size Of Low Carbon And Microalloyed Steels., Ahmed Said, Alaa El-Din El-Hammady

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The microstructure of material plays a significant role in its mechanical properties. The influence of grain size on mechanical properties is complex since grain boundaries may either act as obstacles to dislocation motion (strengthening effect) or provide a positive contribution of deformation of the material (softening effect). A series of heat treatment and quenching tests of extra-low carbon, low carbon steels and Nb-V microalloyed steels are conducted. The grain growth behaviour at different high temperatures is investigated. An empirical relation of grain growth behavior has been used to predict the austenitic grain size of the used materials which are subjected …

Nonlinear Interactive Analysis Of Concrete Piled-Raft., A. Bayoumy, Wahid Ali, Mahmoud El-Meligy

Mansoura Engineering Journal

The piled raft foundation has shown growing applicability in the last two decades as an economic foundation type, where the structural loads are carried partly by the piles and partly by the contact stresses under the raft. The ratio of the load carried by piles to that carried directly by the contact stresses under the raft depends on many factors. Among these factors are the relative rigidity of the raft, the shear strength of the soil under the raft, the shear strength of the soil at the piles tin, the frictional stresses along the piles, and the piles settlement. The …

The Deleterious F109s Mutation Disrupts Binding Of Sex-Determining Region Y With Dna, Mohammed Baqur S. Al-Shuhaib Mbsa

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Sex-determining region Y (SRY) protein is the master switch in the initiation of male sex differentiation. Mutation in SRY gene results in ambiguous genitalia and abnormalities in reproductive organs. Its function is mainly controlled by its high mobility group (HMG) box. Damage to the HMG box may cause dysfunction of the SRY protein, which may, in turn, lead to sex reversal. This study was conducted to prioritize the deleterious effects of the non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) on SRY protein. A series of computational tools were applied to predict nsSNPs with the most harmful effects on protein structure, function, and …

Florida University (1883), C. L. Crow

Florida Historical Quarterly

The most ambitious and most visionary attempt ever made to establish in Florida an institution of higher learning was probably that of the founders, or founder, of Florida University. The plan of organization of the proposed school, altho not successfully carried out, was nevertheless worthy of some respect, for Dr. Kost, its main proponent, had perhaps a vision similar in part to that which afterward inspired Mr. Buckman.

Engagements At St. Johns Bluff St. Johns River, September-October, 1862, T. Frederick Davis

Florida Historical Quarterly

Jacksonville was first occupied by Federal troops March 12, 1862, for the purpose of giving aid and comfort to the Union sympathizers of the region. The town was evacuated in less than a month, but a Federal blockade of the St. Johns River was maintained by gunboats of Admiral Du Pont’s South Atlantic squadron with their station at a steam sawmill called Mayport Mills, a settlement that grew into the present town of Mayport and from which the name Mayport is derived. The gunboats patrolled the river at will and frequently went up to Jacksonville and beyond to reconnoiter. To …

Some Experiences Of Bishop Young, Edgar Legare Pennington

Florida Historical Quarterly

The entwining network or railroads and inproved highways has practically obliterated all recollection of the handicaps of travel in Florida a few decades ago. It is hard to realize that the journey made in a few hours today required days - even weeks - in the years which followed the War Between the STates. So accustomed are we to thinking of our centres of population as bustling, wide-awake cities that we seldom picture them as isolated and crude communities or wretched little fishing-towns. Yet such conditions prevailed; and the second Episcopal Bishop of FLorida, the Right REverend John Freeman Young, …
