Evidence Of A Positron Bound State On The Surface Of A Topological Insulator
(Physics, 2014-12)
We describe experiments aimed at probing the sticking of positrons to the surfaces of topological insulators performed at university of Texas at Arlington using the Positron Annihilation induced Auger electron Spectrometer. ...
Numerical LES For MVG Controlled Supersonic Ramp Flow
(Mathematics, 2014-12)
An implicitly implemented large eddy simulation by using the fifth order bandwidth-optimized WENO scheme is applied to make comprehensive studies on ramp flows with micro-ramp vortex generators (MVG) at Mach 2.5 and Re=5760. ...
Composite Materials Equivalent Properties In Lamina, Laminate, And Structure Levels
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Increasing use of thick composite structures requires a large model for structural analysis. In the analysis, equivalent properties of composites are often used. The equivalent properties of a composite are defined as the ...
A Hmm-based Prediction Model For Spatio-temporal Trajectories
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2014-12)
Spatio-temporal trajectories are time series data that represent movement of an object over the time. Hidden Markov Models (HMM), a variant of Markov Models (MM), were first applied at a large scale to speech recognition ...
Board Level Reliability Assessment Of Thick Fr-4 QFN Assemblies Under Thermal Cycling
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) packages gained popularity in the industry during the last decade or so due to its superior thermal/electrical characteristics, low cost and compact size. QFN packages are widely used in handheld ...
Factors Affecting The Performance Characteristics Of Wet Cooling Pads For Data Center Applications
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
The energy consumption of data centers in the current US market is fast growing in large numbers by every day. It was reported that in 2013, US data centers almost consumed 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity significant ...
Design And Multifidelity Analysis Of Dual Mode Scramjet Compression System Using Coupled NPSS And Fluent Simulation
(Aerospace Engineering, 2014-07-14)
Hypersonic airbreathing engines provide many potential opportunities for future aerospace applications and immense efforts have been taken in gaining knowledge in them for the past decades .The physical phenomenon occurring ...
The Pedagogy Of Conclusions: From Rhetorical Ancestry To Modern Composition With A Research Study On Pedagogy In The Classroom
(English, 2014-07-14)
The main focus of my thesis is to uncover what students know about conclusions (from current pedagogy, composition textbooks, questionnaires and classroom research). I analyze what instructors are taught about conclusions ...
Fear Of "unnatural Acts": Law And Sexuality In London, 1500-1800
(History, 2014-07-14)
Eighteenth-century London experienced a prosecution wave attempting to eradicate sodomy from the city. Discovered and exposed to the public by journalists, the "public outing" of molly houses and their patrons made them ...
A Generalized Approach To Darboux Transformations For Differential Equations
(Mathematics, 2014-07-14)
A Darboux transformation is a mathematical procedure to produce a solution to a differential equation when the solution to a related differential equation is known. The basic idea behind a Darboux transformation is to ...
