Final State Distributions For Electron Capture From Orientated Rydberg Atoms, Jee-Ching Wang, Ronald E. Olson
Final State Distributions For Electron Capture From Orientated Rydberg Atoms, Jee-Ching Wang, Ronald E. Olson
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Final state nim distributions are studied for electron capture from orientated circular Rydberg atoms. Strong orientation effects are found for all quantum numbers at collision speeds comparable to the electron orbital speed. Predominant population of large m states is observed when the plane of the circular orbit is nearly perpendicular to the incident direction of the projectile. The Ini distributions show structures due to quasi-Thomas scattering even at low relative collision velocities. © 1993 IOP Publishing Ltd.
On Stationary And Moving Interface Cracks With Frictionless Contact In Anisotropic Bimaterials, Xiaomin Deng
On Stationary And Moving Interface Cracks With Frictionless Contact In Anisotropic Bimaterials, Xiaomin Deng
Faculty Publications
The asymptotic structure of near-tip fields around stationary and steadily growing interface cracks, with frictionless crack surface contact, and in anisotropic bimaterials, is analysed with the method of analytic continuation, and a complete representation of the asymptotic fields is obtained in terms of arbitrary entire functions. It is shown that when the symmetry, if any, and orientation of the anisotropic bimaterial is such that the in-plane and out-of-plane deformations can be separated from each other, the in-plane crack-tip fields will have a non-oscillatory, inverse-squared-root type stress singularity, with angular variations clearly resembling those for a classical mode II problem when …

Contamination sites associated with light non-aqueous phase liquids {LNAPL) are numerous and represent difficult cleanup problems. Remediation methods for cleanup of LNAPL fluids in subsurface systems are continuously evolving with the development of various technologies for pump.-and~treat, soil venting, and in-situ bioremediation. Evaluating the effectiveness of remediation techniques as well as attempting to improve their efficiency has been a focus of many researchers, These efforts have included the development of computer simulation models to predict and analyze the fluid movement, entrapment, and mobilization of three~phase systems in porous media. The capability of computer models that not only simulate but optimize …

Scaleable Stagnation-Flow Reactors For Uniform Materials Deposition: Application To Combustion Synthesis Of Diamond, K. F. Mccarty, E. Meeks, R. J. Kee, Andrew E. Lutz
Scaleable Stagnation-Flow Reactors For Uniform Materials Deposition: Application To Combustion Synthesis Of Diamond, K. F. Mccarty, E. Meeks, R. J. Kee, Andrew E. Lutz
All Faculty Articles - School of Engineering and Computer Science
We describe two inherently scaleable geometries for chemical-vapor- deposition and heat-transfer processes that are based on stagnation flows. The "coflow" and "trumpet-bell" designs result in radially uniform fluxes to surfaces and they optimize the use of reagents. Using a trumpet-bell burner, we have grown uniform films of diamond from a substrate-stabilized flat flame of C2H2/H2/O2.

Selection Of Design Strengths Of Untreated Soil Subgrades And Subgrades Treated With Cement And Hydrated Lime, David Q. Hunsucker, Tony L. Beckham
Selection Of Design Strengths Of Untreated Soil Subgrades And Subgrades Treated With Cement And Hydrated Lime, David Q. Hunsucker, Tony L. Beckham
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Selection of design strengths of soil subgrades and subgrades treated with cement or hydrated lime is a problem in pavement design analysis and construction because a variety of different types of soils may exist in a highway corridor and a wide range of different strengths may exist after the soils are compacted to form the pavement subgrade. The selected subgrade strength will largely affect the pavement thickness obtained from the design analysis, the future pavement performances, and the overall bearing capacities of the subgrade during construction and the pavement structure after construction. In developing the proposed selection scheme, a newly …

Adsorption Equilibrium Of Benzene-P-Xylene Vapor Mixture On Silicalite, Jianmin Li, Orhan Talu
Adsorption Equilibrium Of Benzene-P-Xylene Vapor Mixture On Silicalite, Jianmin Li, Orhan Talu
Chemical & Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications
Adsorption equilibrium of benzene-p-xylene vapor mixture on silicalite is measured at 70^oC with a specially designed cyclic volumetric apparatus at pressure levels of 2.53 and 1.20 kPa. The isobaric isotherms are S-shaped, and selectivity curves at different pressures cross over; the p-xylene selectivity at 2.53 kPa is higher than that at 1.20 kPa over a certain composition range. The heterogeneous ideal adsorption solution (HIAS) model implemented on two patches qualitatively predicts these highly unusual behavior. The observed extraodinary phenomena are attributed to structural heterogeneity, a result of the tight-fit of sorbate molecules in silicalite …

Performance Of The Crash Cushion Attenuating Terminal (Cat) In Traffic Accidents, Kenneth R. Agent, Jerry G. Pigman
Performance Of The Crash Cushion Attenuating Terminal (Cat) In Traffic Accidents, Kenneth R. Agent, Jerry G. Pigman
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
The objective of this study was to report the results of the continued monitoring of the performance of the Crash Cushion Attenuating Terminal (CAT) in traffic accidents.
The documented performance of the CAT system in traffic accidents justifies additional use. A recommended location would be at median piers and bridge abutments in narrow medians. While accidents involving this system should continue to be evaluated, this evaluation results in the conclusion that the CAT system could be classified as operational.
The performance of the CAT system indicates a couple of areas which should be addressed. For installations in a raised median, …
Pavement Drainage And Pavement Shoulder Joint Evaluation Numerical Analysis Of Infiltration And Drainage In Pavement Systems, Reynaldo David. Espinoza, Philippe L. Bourdeau, Thomas D. White
Pavement Drainage And Pavement Shoulder Joint Evaluation Numerical Analysis Of Infiltration And Drainage In Pavement Systems, Reynaldo David. Espinoza, Philippe L. Bourdeau, Thomas D. White
JTRP Technical Reports
The continuing loss of pavement performance observed in the U.S. transportation infrastructure system raises the issue of the subdrainage design. Experience with the Indiana highways indicates that the lack of adequa the sub-drainage is probably a major cause of pavement distress. In order to provide highway engineers with a methodology to analyze the water migration and drainage into pavement systems a new numerical model has been developed. The numerical scheme is a finite difference formulation of the equations of water flow in unsaturated porous media. The resulting system of equations used is nonlinear and state-of-the-art numerical techniques have been used …
Script-Based Qos Specifications For Multimedia Presentations, Richard Staehli, Jonathan Walpole
Script-Based Qos Specifications For Multimedia Presentations, Richard Staehli, Jonathan Walpole
Computer Science Faculty Publications and Presentations
Multimedia presentations can convey information not only by the sequence of events but by their timing. The correctness of such presentations thus depends on the timing of events as well as their sequence and content. This paper introduces a formal specification language for playback of real-time presentations. The main contribution of this language is a quality of service (QOS) specification that relaxes resolution and synchronization requirements for playback. Our definitions give a precise meaning to the correctness of a presentation. This specification language will form the basis for a QOS interface for reservation of operating system resources.
Toward Virtual Digital Mammograms For Research And Training In Tumor Detection, Charles F. Babbs, Leslie A. Geddes
Toward Virtual Digital Mammograms For Research And Training In Tumor Detection, Charles F. Babbs, Leslie A. Geddes
Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers
Research in the processing, compression, transmission, and interpretation of digital radiographic images requires evaluation of a wide variety of test images, varying in format, in spatial resolution, and in anatomic content. To evaluate the diagnostic performance of observers using novel versus conventional image formats, large numbers of test images containing known abnormalities are required. This report describes a method for creating high resolution, virtual digital mammograms from computational models of the human breast that include branched lobulated ducts and suspensory ligaments embedded in fatty subcutaneous tissue. Breast phantoms may include any of three types of simulated tumors (fibroadenomas, invasive ductal …
Parallel Algorithms For Single-Layer Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, Shih-Chuan Hung, Jau-Der Shih
Parallel Algorithms For Single-Layer Channel Routing, Ronald I. Greenberg, Shih-Chuan Hung, Jau-Der Shih
Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works
We provide efficient parallel algorithms for the minimum separation, offset range, and optimal offset problems for single-layer channel routing. We consider all the variations of these problems that have linear-time sequential solutions rather than limiting attention to the ``river-routing'' context, where single-sided connections are disallowed. For the minimum separation problem, we obtain O(lgN) time on a CREW PRAM or O(lgN/lglgN) time on a CRCW PRAM, both with optimal work (processor-time product) of O(N), where N is the number of terminals. For the offset range problem, we obtain the same time and processor bounds as long as only one side of …
Simple High-Quality Lossy Image Coding Scheme, Shaolin Bi, Khalid Sayood
Simple High-Quality Lossy Image Coding Scheme, Shaolin Bi, Khalid Sayood
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications
A simple yet efficient image data compression method is presented. This method is based on coding only those segments of the image that are perceptually significant to the reconstruction of the image. Sequences of image pixels whose gray-level differences from the pixels of the previous row exceed two prespecified thresholds are considered significant. These pixels are coded using a differential pulse code modulation scheme that uses a 15-level recursively indexed nonuniform quantizer for the first pixel in a segment and a 7-level recursively indexed nonuniform quantizer for all other pixels in the segment. The quantizer outputs are Huffman coded. Simulation …

We report on the measurements of double differential cross sections, at zero degree, for the production of secondary electrons from the collision of 0, 6 MeV amu-1 Cu5+, I7+, Au11+, U13+, Cu19+, t23+ and Au29+ projectiles with H2 and He. The shapes and positions of the observed binary encounter electron peaks are compared with continuum distorted wave-eikonal initial state (CDW-EIS), impulse approximation and classical trajectory Monte Carlo calculations, as well as with predictions from an adiabatic resonant tunnelling model recently proposed by Fainstein and co-workers. The …

Three Dimensional Stress Intensity Factor For Large Arrays Of Radial Internal Surface Cracks In A Cylindrical Pressure Vessel, Javier Pierola
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this study is to present the mode I stress intensity factor distribution (SIF) along the crack-front for a wide array of semicircular and semi-elliptical surface cracks inside of a pressurized thick-walled cylinder. A three-dimensional finite element package ANSYS is used to evaluate the SIF for multicracked cylinder with number of cracks from n=1 to 128, the ratio of crack-depth to the wall thickness a/t=0.05 to 0.6, the ellipticity of the crack (the crack-depth to the semi-crack length) a/c=0.2 to 1.5, the ratio of the outer to the inner radius ro/ ri=2. …
Performance Assessment Of Prosthetic Heart Valves Using Orifice Area Formulae And The Energy Index Method, Flavio Ballerini Souza Campos
Performance Assessment Of Prosthetic Heart Valves Using Orifice Area Formulae And The Energy Index Method, Flavio Ballerini Souza Campos
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Valve function is commonly assessed by effective orifice area (EOA) estimates using equations derived from conservation of mass and energy. Errors have been found with the method due to difficulties in determining the valve’s coefficient of discharge (Cd). The Cd, a factor that corrects the EOA for losses in the valvular wake region, has been shown previously to vary with the Reynolds number and valve geometry. In this study, a Cardio-Vascular Duplicator (CVD) is used to determine the Cd for three types of mitral valves, operating in modes ranging from normal to severely stenotic. Since orifice area methods do not …
Explanation Of Timing Jitter Mechanisms In Multisegment Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers, Dennis J. Derickson
Explanation Of Timing Jitter Mechanisms In Multisegment Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers, Dennis J. Derickson
Electrical Engineering
Multisegment mode-locked semiconductor lasers offer a simple, high performance solution for short pulse generation. Six mode-locking techniques used in multisegment mode-locked semiconductor lasers are shown. This paper concentrates on a theoretical explanation of the timing jitter mechanisms in these lasers with supporting experimental measurements. The analysis covers passive, hybrid, and active mode-locking techniques for both monolithic and external cavity devices. Timing jitter is a very important system consideration for most applications of mode-locked lasers.
High Power Edge-Emitting Light Emitting Diodes At 1.5Μ With Extremely Low Back Facet Feedback, J. E. Fouquet, G. R. Trott, W. V. Sorin, M. J. Ludowise, D. M. Braun, Dennis J. Derickson
High Power Edge-Emitting Light Emitting Diodes At 1.5Μ With Extremely Low Back Facet Feedback, J. E. Fouquet, G. R. Trott, W. V. Sorin, M. J. Ludowise, D. M. Braun, Dennis J. Derickson
Electrical Engineering
This paper describes novel semiconductor sources for optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR), a measurement technique for characterizing device and fiber reflections with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution. Lasers and conventional superluminescent LEDs are not suitable for OLCR because strong reflections from the back facets mask weak reflection signals from the device or fiber under test. Even standard edge emitting LEDs (EELEDs) show significant reflections, which have limited the dynamic range of previous measurements. Low source output powers have also limited sensitivity. In order to obtain high power while minimizing internal reflections, a high single pass gain device is required. …

Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)
A study of the Fermi-energy edge singularity (FEES) in the second (n=2) subband of asymmetric modulation-doped (AlGa)As-(InGa)As-GaAs quantum wells (AMDQW’s) is reported. In one of the AMDQW’s a Schottky gate is employed to vary the electron density in the n=2 subband (ns,2) from 0 to 1×1011 cm-2. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence excitation (PLE) measurements clearly show that the n=2 PLE feature has FEES character for ns,2≳0.4×1011 cm-2. In contrast to PLE, photoluminescence (PL) intensity is not a true measure of oscillator strength, since PL intensity can be affected by competing recombination pathways. Temperature-dependent PL measurements have been performed on two types of …

Rate Equations For The Phonon Peak In Resonant-Tunneling Structures, Roger Lake, Gerhard Klimeck, J. P. Anantram, Supriyo Datta
Birck and NCN Publications
The ratio of the phonon peak current to the main peak current in double-barrier resonant-tunneling structures is significantly enhanced by barrier asymmetry. Previously, using the Keldysh formalism, we derived analytical expressions, valid in the zero-temperature, high-bias regime, which explained this eftect. We now provide analytical expressions valid for finite temperature and bias obtained from (i) an intuitive derivation using a rate equation approach and (ii) a more general derivation using the Keldysh formalism. The results of the two difFerent approaches are shown to be essentially identical for the ex- perimental device parameters. The finite temperature expressions shed light on the …
Obscured Object Detection Via Bayesian Target Modeling Techniques, Rufus H. Cofer
Obscured Object Detection Via Bayesian Target Modeling Techniques, Rufus H. Cofer
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
Underground objects are by nature often severely obscured although the general character of the intervening random media may be reasonably understood. The task of detecting these underground objects also implies that their exact location and or orientation is not known. To partially counter these difficulties, one may; however, be given a model of the target of interest, e.g. a particular tank type, a water pipe, etc. To set up a quality framework for solution of the above problem, this paper utilizes the paradigm of Bayesian decision theory that promises minimum error detection given that certain probability density functions can be …
