Development Of An Optical Fiber-based Corrosion Detection Sensor Based On Laser Light Reflection
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Corrosion plays a detrimental effect on the structural integrity of many engineering structures. It can compromise the safe operation of these structures by forming corrosion pits that deteriorates the structural surfaces ...
Community Oriented Policing Post September 11, 2001
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2010-07-19)
The events of September 11 2001, affected many in the United States, among them the local police. Not only did it impact the way the police operate, but also how they interacted with the general populace. This study ...
Dynamic Thermal Management Of Multi Core Processors Using Core Hopping
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Multi core processors are the order of the day today. The demand for greater levels of performance and the consequent increase in design complexity have rendered the single core processor obsolete and resulted in more cores ...
Assessing Stormwater Runoff With "SWAT" In Mixed-use Developments: Learning From Southlake Town Square And Addison Circle In North Texas
(Landscape Architecture, 2010-07-19)
Recognizing environmental problems associated with sprawl, North Texas communities are looking at options for future growth. Higher density mixed-used developments (MXDs) are being considered as an alternative to the ...

(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Advances in computational techniques have changed diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases. This thesis work is composed of developing computational models in two application areas: nanomedicine and determining DIEP ...
Thermo-mechanical Analysis Of A 3D Package In Microelectronics And Cooling Technologies For An IGBT Thermal Tester In Power Electronics
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In the past, compact components such as chip scale packages and flip chip packages were the work horses of miniaturization. However emerging applications are now demanding even higher packaging density which has led to the ...
Effects Of Freezing On The Mechanical Properties Of Engineered Tissues
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
Cryopreservation is used to preserve cells and tissues at low temperatures for short and long term uses. Some examples of where cryopreservation is used include the storage of organs, blood, embryos, and artificial tissues. ...
Kinematic Analysis Of A Quadruped Robot Capable Of Working As A Machining Tool
(Mechanical Engineering, 2010-11-01)
Parallel robots have been proposed for some time now due to their potential advantages over serial robots in high load bearing, acceleration, stiffness and with lower moving mass. Mobile parallel configurations, i.e. ...
A Planar Cavity Backed Slot Antenna Array For Ultra-wideband Monopulse Radars
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)
In this thesis, a wideband cavity backed slot antenna is designed for automotive-borne monopulse radar applications. A rectangular slot is used to realize broad bandwidth; the slot is backed by a cavity and vertical walls ...
