Specific Emotions and Altruistic Decision Making - A Study in Relational Perspective
(2016-11-28)
The role of emotions in decision making processes has long been of interest to researchers due to its relevance in our daily consumption decisions. Recent experimental studies have suggested that specific emotions prime ...
AUTOMATED LATTICE OPTIMIZATION OF HINGE FITTING WITH DISPLACEMENT CONSTRAINT
(2016-11-29)
Additive manufacturing enables fabrication of complex lattice cell structures that are not manufacturable using conventional methods. In order to exploit this lattice capability in structural designs, the effect on ...
FABRICATION, CALIBRATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICRO-SCALE RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTORS
(2016-12-15)
Through this research, fabrication, calibration and characterization of micro-scale Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) were studied. The RTD is meant to sense the temperature at the micro scale level on the hot spot of ...
Solder Ball Reliability Assessment of Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) Through Power Cycling
(2016-12-20)
Failure analysis and its effects are major reliability concerns in electronic packaging. More accurate fatigue life prediction can be obtained after the consideration of all affecting loads on the electronic devices. When ...
An Open Source APP-HARDWARE setup to control the system for DATA CENTER COOLING
(2016-12-20)
Control systems for data center cooling exists in the proprietary form and are often sold as part of the overall unit. They provide vital information related to the cooling systems and supply information on the temperature ...
MOISTURE DISTRIBUTION EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS OF BIOREACTOR LANDFILL OPERATIONS
(2016-11-30)
Bioreactor landfills are operated in a modern engineered way to accelerate waste decomposition, gas production, and waste stabilization. The major aspect of a bioreactor landfill operation is associated with the addition ...
Recipients of Major Scientific Awards a Descriptive and Predictive Analysis
(2016-12-06)
Recent trends demonstrate an increase of women in leadership roles, STEM fields, and participating in higher education including graduate and doctoral programs, which is a result of Title IX. This quantitative study ...
Searches For The Exclusive Higgs and the Charged Higgs Bosons with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(2016-12-06)
In this thesis, searches for the exclusive Standard Model (SM) and charged
hMSSM Higgs bosons are performed. While observations of the SM Higgs boson
in 2012 by ATLAS and CMS collaborations were ground-breaking, several ...
Hydraulic Performance Evaluation of Evapotranspiration Cover Systems
(2016-12-07)
Although alternative covers such as the evapotranspiration (ET) landfill cover system promise to provide equivalent or greater performance than conventional cover systems, uncertainties remain on the performance of these ...
Diabetes, Depression and Syndemic Suffering among African American Patients: The Intersectionality of Race, Gender and Class
(2016-12-20)
This research study illustrates the overarching syndemic theory, which was used to explain the interconnections of type 2 diabetes, clinical depression, and human suffering among low-income African American outpatients ...
