Quantitative Variation Of Blood Pressure Dynamics During Sleep Apnea
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Sleep Apnea is one of the major sleep disorders characterized by complete cessation or decline in breathing for about 10s or more during sleep, thereby adversely affecting the quality of sleep. Studies show that about 6 % ...
Determinants Of Implied Volatility Movements In Individual Equity Options
(Finance & Real Estate, 2010-11-01)
In this study, I introduce a parsimonious model that explains implied volatility time series for individual stock options. The current state of risk management for individual equity options still seems to lack the presence ...
Aircraft Conceptual Design - An Adaptable Parametric Sizing Methodology
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Aerospace is a maturing industry with successful and refined baselines which work well for traditional baseline missions, markets and technologies. However, when new markets (space tourism) or new constrains (environmental) ...
The Use Of Ionic Liquid Based Salts In Gas Chromatography And Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2010-07-19)
This dissertation focuses on two uses for Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (RTILs). First, RTILs will be used to produce novel Gas Chromatographic (GC) stationary phases. The use of new phosphonium based RTIL GC columns ...
The Impact Of Familial Instability On Adolescent Behavioral Outcomes
(Social Work, 2010-07-19)
As the definition of what is considered a family changes in our society, the family unit itself continues to undergo changes. These changes can sometimes lead to decreased stability within the family unit. This study focused ...
Physics Behind RFID Smart Card Security In Context Of Privacy
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In this thesis I prove that existing HF protocol is not secure. Lack of security in turn leads to violation of privacy.The unique ID on the HF RFID smart card can be sniffed by any eavesdropper. Not only eavesdropping, but ...
Total Synthesis Of Cyclooroidin And Studies Towards Some Oroidin Dimers
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2010-07-19)
This dissertation consists of two parts. The first part describes the synthesis of northern fragment of nagelamide R and the enantioselective total synthesis of cyclooroidin. The oroidin family of marine natural products ...
Investigating The Optical Signals In The Brain And Spinal Cord During Nociception
(Psychology, 2010-07-19)
Neuroimaging technologies have been widely used to study brain functioning based on a tight correlation between neurons and neighboring vasculature during neural activation, called neurovascular coupling. However, many ...
Effective Thermal Management Of Electronic Devices From System To Die Level
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In any electronic device, the resistance to the flow of current through the transistors, interconnects, etc. results in a significant heat generation. If this heat is not removed from the device by providing appropriate ...
Effect Of Frame Shape And Geometry On The Global Behavior Of Rigid And Hybrid Frame Under Earthquake Excitations
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2010-07-19)
The primary focus of this study is to present a shape which will improve building performance in earthquake excitations. The investigation started with 3-, 9-, 12- and 20-story rectangular frame. The seismic performance ...
