Characterization Of UTA Hypersonic Shock Tunnel
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Characterization of a hypersonic shock tunnel was performed under low enthalpy conditions. A rake was designed and fabricated to measure pitot pressure and heat flux at three axial locations in the test section. Pitot ...
A Novel Minimally Invasive Dual-modality Fiber Optic Probe For Prostate Cancer Detection
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in males, and is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in United States. In prostate cancer diagnostics and theapy, there is a critical need for a minimally ...
Phylogenetic Systematics, Population Genetics, And The Evolution Of Color Pattern Polymorphism And Coralsnake Mimicry In The Snake Genus Sonora
(Biology, 2013-03-20)
Mimicry is a widespread biological phenomenon and is simply defined as the resemblance of one organism to another for some sort of protective purpose. Specifically, Batesian mimicry occurs when a harmless species imitates ...
Exploring College Readiness: The Role Of Dual Credit And SES On College Persistence And Student Success
(Education, 2013-03-20)
Texas' 2006 House Bill 1, which required all high schools in Texas to provide students with the opportunity to earn a minimum of 12 hours of college credit prior to their graduation beginning the fall of 2008, changed the ...
Shaping And Maintenance Of Low-latency Anonymity Systems
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Surveillance of users on the Internet is growing. This makes it increasingly important to protect users' identity when they communicate online, especially for users like journalists, whistleblowers, and military officials. ...
Implementation Of A Middleware Architecture For Collaboration Among Mobile Devices In Opportunistic Networks.
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Opportunistic networks provide a viable platform for mobile communications due to the ubiquity of smart phones. These networks are characterized by lack of end to-end reliable connections. In such networks, establishing ...
Water Permeability In Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FPR)-wrapped Concrete
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
A finite element analysis is performed using ANSYS software to analyze progress of water and its circulation in FRP wrapped concrete. This paper presents the modeling of water diffusion in FRP. Finite element programs do ...
Multivariate Modeling For A Multiple Stage, Multiple Objective Green Building Framework
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Green building is a sustainable concept to reduce environmental impact. Decision–making for green building is a complex task. A multi–stage green building framework will guide future development of a comprehensive multiple ...
Passive Wireless Antenna Sensors For Crack Detection And Shear/compression Sensing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Despite the fact that engineering components and structures are carefully designed against fatigue failures, 50 to 90% of mechanical failures are due to fatigue crack formation. The severity of the failure depends on both ...
Modeling And Identification Of Thermally Actuated Micro-robots
(Electrical Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This thesis explains the system identification of thermally actuated micro-robots and actuators developed at UTA-NGS (Next Generation Systems) and ARRI (Automation Robotics Research Institute). The energy used to power ...
