CONSTRUCTION OF WEIGHTED UPWIND COMPACT SCHEME
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
Enormous endeavor has been devoted in spatial high order high resolution schemes in more than twenty five years previously, like total variation diminishing (TVD), essentially non-oscillatory scheme, weighted essentially ...
Mechanical Reliability Of Porous Low-k Dielectrics For Advanced Interconnect: Study Of The Instability Mechanisms In Porous Low-k Dielectrics And Their Mediation Through Inert Plasma Induced Re-polymerization Of The Backbone Structure
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Continuous scaling down of critical dimensions in interconnect structures requires the use of ultralow dielectric constant (k) films as interlayer dielectrics to reduce resistance-capacitance delays. Porous carbon-doped ...
Maternal Negative Affectivity And Child Internalizing Problems: Child Behavioral Inhibition As A Mediator
(Psychology, 2015)
Early emerging internalizing problems such as depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal put children at great risk for developing mood disorders and substance abuse problems. The current study investigated both child ...
Biological Evaluation Of Membrane-active Compounds As Treatment For Clostridium Difficile Infection
(Biology, 2015)
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), which is caused by a spore-forming, gram-positive anaerobe, named C. difficile, is the leading cause of the hospital-acquired antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Hospitalized elderly ...
Development Of A Numerical Tool To Study The Mixing Phenomenon Occurring During Mode One Operation Of A Multi-mode Ejector-augmented Pulsed Detonation Rocket Engine
(Aerospace Engineering, 2015)
A novel multi-mode implementation of a pulsed detonation engine, put forth by Wilson et al. [2], consists of four modes; each specifically designed to capitalize on flow features unique to the various flow regimes. This ...
Design And Fabrication Of Guided-mode Resonance Devices
(Electrical Engineering, 2015)
Guided-mode resonance (GMR) effect based on waveguide grating structure has been attracting plenty of attention in recent years due to its abundant application in energy, information technology, and sensors. This dissertation ...
Analytical Modeling Of Helium Turbomachinery Using Fortran 77
(Aerospace Engineering, 2015)
