Lattice-Based Peridynamic Modeling Of Linear Elastic Solids, A.S.M. Rahman

Civil Engineering ETDs

Concrete is a complex material often used in civil engineering structures. This quasi-brittle material, when reinforced with steel, develops cohesive cracks under loading even though it has adequate strength to carry service loads. Concrete often cracks even before the application of load, due to temperature changes and shrinkage. The displacement field in the structure drastically changes as the cracks initiate and propagate. Thus, concrete fails to satisfy the most fundamental assumptions of continuum mechanics. To overcome the limitations of continuum mechanics, Silling introduced the peridynamic method in 1998. Gerstle and his colleagues generalized the peridynamic model in 2007, introducing the …

Evaluation Of The Laboratory Resilient Modulus Test Using A New Mexico Subgrade Soil, Anthony Cabrera

Civil Engineering ETDs

Resilient modulus (Mr) is a laboratory determined parameter, where a cylindrical specimen is subjected to dynamic axial stresses under confining stresses, while axial deformations are measured. By definition Mr is the ratio of the peak axial stress to the corresponding recoverable axial strain. Currently, there are two accepted laboratory testing protocols for determining Mr, namely AASHTO T 307 and NCHRP 1-28A. These two standards differ from one another in ways that are known to affect Mr, namely in location of load and deformation transducers. One focus of this study is the determination of resilient modulus for an A-6 subgrade soil …

The Effects Of International Remittances On Child Schooling In Ecuador, José Bucheli

Economics ETDs

An economic crisis hit Ecuador during the final years of the 20th century. This crisis initiated a massive migration of Ecuadoreans mostly to Europe and the United States. The remittances migrants started sending back rapidly increased and soon represented an important share of the GDP. This became a new source of income (or the only one) for many households. The present research project analyzes, through the use of an instrumented probit model, how the probability of children attending school changes when the household receives remittances and when other variables are accounted for. Data from the 2010 Ecuadorean Housing and Population …

Design And Construction Of A Bose Einstein Condensate Machine, Paul W. Blackburn

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

A dilute gas Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that occurs when a cloud of atoms in a potential are made cold and dense enough that they all occupy the potential's ground state. The onset of this phenomenon occurs when their de Broglie wavelength, $\Lambda = \sqrt{2 \pi \hbar^2/mk_BT}$, becomes comparable in size to the inter-particle spacing. A BEC is a macroscopic quantum object, since all atoms in the BEC are described by a single quantum wavefunction and, as such, is a fundamental quantum many-body system. The first experimental demonstration of a dilute gas BEC was performed …

Cave Paintings By Firelight, Michael Amend

Music ETDs

Cave Paintings By Firelight is a single movement work composed for wind symphony. The piece revolves around an eight-note collection that is reduced to prime form (012356t). There is also a heavy emphasis on the pitch-classes C and F#. Many of the harmonies and melodies are symmetrical around these pitches in pitch-class space. Most of the melodic movement of the piece is found in the woodwinds which are juxtaposed against the relatively static brass with the percussion used to emphasize transitions into new large sections. The piece was greatly inspired by imagery. The main image for the piece is a …

Carbon Nanotubes As Interconnect For Next Generation Network On Chip, Manoj Kumar Ramalingam Rajasekaran

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Multi-core processors provide better performance when compared with their single-core equivalent. Recently, Networks-on-Chip (NoC) have emerged as a communication methodology for multi core chips. Network-on-Chip uses packet based communication for establishing a communication path between multiple cores connected via interconnects. Clock frequency, energy consumption and chip size are largely determined by these interconnects. According to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), in the next five years up to 80% of microprocessor power will be consumed by interconnects. In the sub 100nm scaling range, interconnect behavior limits the performance and correctness of VLSI systems. The performance of copper interconnects tend …

Unpacking The Employee-Misconduct Defense, Sachin S. Pandya

Faculty Articles and Papers

When a worker sues an employer, the employer sometimes learns thereafter that the worker had committed some misconduct at the time of hire or while on the job. In those cases, most American work laws provide the employer with a defense that precludes employer liability, or at least limits remedies, if the employer shows that, had it known of the worker’s misconduct at the time of its allegedly wrongful act, it would have fired the worker because of that misconduct. This Article evaluates the prevailing arguments for and against the employee-misconduct defense as it appears in the National Labor Relations …

Motivational Interviewing With Computer Assistance As An Intervention To Empower Women To Make Contraceptive Choices While Incarcerated: Study Protocol For Randomized Controlled Trial, Jennifer Clarke, Melanie A. Gold, Rachel E. Simon, Mary B. Roberts, L.A.R. Stein

Psychology Faculty Publications

Background:

Unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are important and costly public health problems in the United States resulting from unprotected sexual intercourse. Risk factors for unplanned pregnancies and STIs (poverty, low educational attainment, homelessness, substance abuse, lack of health insurance, history of an abusive environment, and practice of commercial sex work) are especially high among women with a history of incarceration. Project CARE (Contraceptive Awareness and Reproductive Education) is designed to evaluate an innovative intervention, Motivational Interviewing with Computer Assistance (MICA), aimed at enhancing contraceptive initiation and maintenance among incarcerated women who do not want a pregnancy within …

To Use Or Not To Use: The Role Of Affect And Cognition In Changing Attitudes Toward Using Condoms Among African American Women, Kristina Hood

Theses and Dissertations

The current project involved three studies designed to examine which characteristics of persuasive communications change condom use attitudes. Study 1 investigated the effect of message type (affective versus cognitive) and source (male versus female) on attitude change among a sample of African American women attending college. In Study 1 (N = 146), the affective message and female source produced the most positive change in condom use attitudes. Study 2 examined whether message type and source were associated with favorable condom attitudes in a community sample and whether these findings differed from a college sample. Twenty-seven women participated in group discussions …
