An Evaluation Of Using Component Mode Synthesis For Structural Models
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)Structural analysts have used component mode synthesis (CMS), also known as substructuring, for decades to divide large structural models into smaller, more manageable models, and to reduce the size of the associated ... -
EVALUATION OF VERTICAL AND LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PIN
(2023-12-13)RPPs have been in use as a sustainable and effective technique to stabilize and reinforce weak ground for geotechnical purposes. Application of RPP in stabilization of slopes and improvement of load carrying capacity of ... -
Evaluation of Water consumption and savings achieved in Datacenters through Air side Economization
(2017-01-13)Recent researches and a few facility owners have focused on eliminating the chiller plant altogether by implementing ‘Evaporative Cooling’, as an alternative or augmentation to compressor-based air conditioning since the ... -
Evaporative Cooling Performance Of A Brazed Microporous Coating On An Aluminum Surface
(Mechanical Engineering, 2012-04-11)The effect of an aluminum microporous coating on evaporative cooling performance was studied using distilled water as the working fluid. The aluminum microporous coating was fabricated by brazing aluminum particles to an ... -
Evaporative hotspot cooling of microprocessors using electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD)
(2018-12-14)The increased use of smart devices and great strides in fabrication technologies have resulted in densely packed electronics. Combined with 3D packaging, high heat uxes have become the norm. The need for advanced thermal ... -
Event Recognition From Ambient Assistive Living Technologies
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2010-11-01)As the population ages and technology advances, a need exists for creating ambient intelligent systems to be placed within the home environment. Attitudes towards technology have been changing, and home monitoring is now ... -
“EVERY GOOD MAN IS A QUAKER, AND THAT NONE BUT GOOD MEN ARE QUAKERS”: TRANSATLANTIC QUAKER HUMANITARIANS, DISABILITY, AND MARKETING ENLIGHTENED REFORM, 1730-1834
(2016-02-24)This dissertation explores how Quaker humanitarians in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries actively absorbed and employed emerging Enlightenment discourses about “disability” and human dependency as a means to build ... -
Evidence For A Simpatico Self-schema In Studies Comparing Hispanics and Whites
(Psychology, 2007-08-23)Considerable evidence exists that many Latin American cultures emphasize concept of simpatia or simpatico (Triandis, Martin, Lisansky, & Betancourt, 1984). The purpose of this research project was to test for evidence that ... -
Evidence Of A Positron Bound State On The Surface Of A Topological Insulator
(Physics, 2014-12)We describe experiments aimed at probing the sticking of positrons to the surfaces of topological insulators performed at university of Texas at Arlington using the Positron Annihilation induced Auger electron Spectrometer. ... -
Evidence Of Competition Between Law Schools
(Economics, 2007-08-23)The purpose of this paper is to measure how competition affects tuition rates of law schools. I hypothesize that the tuition rates will go up as concentration of law schools increase. To examine how tuition varies with ... -
EVOKED AND SPONTANEOUS NEUROTRANSMITTER RELEASES FOR INDEPENDENT SYNAPTIC CURRENTS: MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS
(2017-08-01)Synapses play a major role in neuron communications in the brain. The synapses act through a chemical process called synaptic fusion between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic terminals. Presynaptic terminals release ... -
Evolution of allostery and conformational dynamics of caspases involved in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis
(2023-04-25)Caspases are a class of cysteine proteases that play a crucial role in programmed cell death (apoptosis). We complete an evolutionary picture of folding of caspases in the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. The folding models ... -
Evolution of Dallas's Old City Hall
(2023-06-21)This thesis analyzes the preservation of Old City Hall in Dallas, Texas, as its functionality has evolved over time. It evaluates its significance as a monument to Dallas's early municipal government and civic pride, and ... -
Evolution Of Gender Differences In Adult Crying
(Psychology, 2007-08-23)The evolutionary function of gender differences in adult crying was investigated, specifically whether females were selected to cry more than males ostensibly to aid in their survival. Both studies were based on the idea ... -
The Evolution Of Problem Solving: An Assessment Of Preference In Concurrent Schedules Of Reinforcement
(Psychology, 2008-09-17)In personal problem-solving, an organism emits responses that have been useful in the past to alter its personal contingencies and produce a response that "solves" a problem. In verbal behavior, a human organism emits ... -
Evolution Of Sex Ratios And Sex Determination Mechanisms: Lessons From Nematodes With Three Genders
(Biology, 2014-12)In sexually reproducing species, the decision to allocate resources towards male and female reproductive function is called sex allocation. Although theoretical and empirical work has been largely successful, the underlying ... -
EVOLUTION OF SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN MILITARY MASTER PLANNING: EXAMINING PLANNERS' PERCEPTIONS
(2020-11-24)An increasingly globalized world and mounting threats to our economy, environment, and social structures have brought the concepts of sustainability and resilience into sharp focus. These threats include climate change, ... -
