A Graduate English Major's Search For Meaning: Toward A Pedagogy Of Creative Rhetoric
(English, 2013-03-20)
Building upon recent work by Gerald Graff, Tim Mayers, Douglas Hesse, and Graeme Harper and Jeri Kroll, I propose a pedagogical approach that integrates creative writing with rhetoric, much as the emerging "creative writing ...
Lumped Parameter Modeling Of Fluid Line Dynamics With Turbulent Flow Conditions
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
A procedure for obtaining rational polynomial transfer functions representing ordinary differential equations for time domain transient response simulations of systems with fluid transmission lines with incompressible ...
Multi Person Tracking And Querying With Heterogeneous Sensors
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Tracking the location of a user is considered to be the most fundamental step for creating a context aware application, such as activity monitoring in an assistive environment. This problem becomes very challenging if there ...
Precursors To Context Sensitive Design (CSD) In Non-CSD Projects
(Landscape Architecture, 2013-03-20)
This study searches for planning and design strategies required in Context Sensitive Design (CSD) transportation projects executed prior to the establishment of CSD standards. CSD is &ldquo a collaborative, interdisciplinary ...
Determining The Effectiveness Of Chlorine-based Biofilm Control On The Friction Factors Of Large Diameter Pipelines In Raw Water
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Large diameter transmission mains pumping raw water experience capacity loss during the summer months due to the growth of biofilm. The loss of capacity impacts power costs at a time when power is obtained at a premium. ...
Mitigation Of Hot-spots In High-end Microprocessors Using Bulk And Thin Film Thermoelectric Coolers
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Due to localized high heat fluxes, hot-spots are created in silicon chips. Cooling of the hot-spots is one of the major thermal challenges in today's integrated circuit (IC) industry. Many researches have been conducted ...
Complexity Reduction Of H.264 Using Parallel Programming
(Electrical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
The H.264 encoder provides for adaptive directional intra-prediction, motion-compensated inter-prediction followed by transform, quantization, deblocking filtering and either variable length encoding or arithmetic coding. ...
Diffuse Optical Tomography To Study The Ischemic Stroke In Rat Models
(Biomedical Engineering, 05-06-2013)
Stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke, is the major leading cause of death in the United States. More than 80 percent of stroke patients are diagnosed with ischemic stroke, which usually results from ...
Dovetail: Stronger Anonymity In Next-generation Internet Routing
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Current low-latency anonymity systems use complex overlay networks to conceal a user's IP address, introducing significant latency and network efficiency penalties compared to normal Internet usage. Rather than this ...
Study Of Cultural Landscapes In Texas: An Inquiry For Policy Recommendations
(Landscape Architecture, 2013-07-22)
The object of this thesis is to understand the status of preservation of Texas cultural landscapes and encourage policy recommendations. To do this, the thesis examines the procedure for nominating cultural landscapes ...
