Lessons Learned As A Novice Researcher: A Pilot Study In Mathematics Education, Nicole L. Fonger
Lessons Learned As A Novice Researcher: A Pilot Study In Mathematics Education, Nicole L. Fonger
The Hilltop Review
The lessons we learn in life are often catalyzed by events or happenings that we experience and that subsequently change us in some way. Life as a graduate student is replete with diverse experiences that mold and shape one‘s outlook on teaching, learning, and disciplined inquiry. As a doctoral candidate, my role as a novice researcher is increasingly budding with growth and my responsibilities to design and conduct research have engendered some important lessons. Often confined to private or classroom conversations with graduate students and faculty members, the lessons I have learned as a novice researcher seem worth sharing to …
Modeling Of A Photonic Crystal Waveguide Modes With The Fdtd Method, Buddhi Rai
Modeling Of A Photonic Crystal Waveguide Modes With The Fdtd Method, Buddhi Rai
The Hilltop Review
The electromagnetic modes are investigated using a simple 1D implementation of the FDTD numerical algorithm to a model of 1D photonic crystal. The fields Ez and Hy are simulated along the x-axis, the propagation direction. Source implementation and the effects of various boundary conditions such as ABC, Mur on TF-SF fields are investigated. Of particular focus in this paper is, for example, on investigating the guided and/or radiation modes at a stop band frequency of the photonic crystal formed of linear and Kerr nonlinear media. Such structures exhibit interesting transmission and reflection properties that make them suitable for …

Privacy-Preserving Transactions On The Web, Sahil Behl, Leszek T. Lilien
The Hilltop Review
There is a rapid growth in the number of applications using sensitive and personal information on the World Wide Web. This growth creates an urgent need to maintain the anonymity of the participants in many web transactions and to preserve the privacy of their sensitive data during data dissemination over the web. First, maintaining the anonymity of users on the World Wide Web is essential for a number of web applications. Anonymity cannot be assured by single interested individuals or an organization but requires participation from other web nodes owned by other entities. Second, preserving the privacy of sensitive data …
