Synthesis And Characterization Of Ferromagnetic Nanowires
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Ferromagnetic nanocrystals with shape anisotropy have drawn great attention in the past decades because of their unique magnetic properties and for their potential applications in ultra-high-density magnetic recording ...
Imbalance Response Of A Four Degree Of Freedom Rigid Rotor Supported By Hybrid Three Pad Air Foil Bearing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Air foil bearings (AFB's) are widely used in small to midsized turbomachinery. They provide safer, cleaner and cheaper bearing operation. They are simple in construction, offer very low drag friction and have very high ...
A Non-invasive Assessment Of Moisture Content Of Municipal Solid Waste In A Landfill Using Resistivity Imaging
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)
A bioreactor landfill is operated to enhance waste decomposition, gas production, and refuse stabilization. The fundamental aspect in the operation of a bioreactor landfill is the controlled addition of water and/or the ...

(Accounting, 2011-07-14)
This dissertation builds upon one of the foundation articles in Fundamental Analysis, written by Abarbanell and Bushee [1997] (AB-97), that studied the relationship of fundamental signals (combinations of items reported ...
Generations: The Dividing Line Between Preferences For Leadership Styles
(Psychology, 2011-07-14)
This research examined what effects the characteristics of the Millennial generation had on the preferences for leadership style by investigating which qualities in leaders were more highly valued within this generational ...
Distribution Network Contingency Analysis And Contingency Detection With The Consideration Of Load Models
(Electrical Engineering, 2011-03-03)
The electric utility market environment has changed quite radically during recent years due to the process of deregulation. This has changed the asset management towards a capital controlled business where owners are ...
Stress Analysis For A Three Phase Plate With A Concentric Circular Inclusion By Deriving An Airy Stress Function
(Mechanical Engineering, 2011-07-14)
This thesis derives the Airy stress function for a three phase plate that consists of two concentric circular inclusions and a matrix phase. It incorporates the elastic property of each phase as well as the geometry of the ...
Fast Jamming Detection In Wireless Sensor Networks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-03-03)
Non-dedicated medium of communication for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) makes them vulnerable to jamming attack where an adversary injects strong signal or noises to interfere with the transmission and thus block the ...
Efficient Exploration Techniques On Large Databases
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2011-07-14)
Search, retrieval, and exploration of information have become some of the most intense and principal research challenges in many enterprize and e-commerce applications off late. The mainstay of this dissertation is to ...
