Holographic Patterning Of Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Materials For Diffractive Optical Elements
(Physics, 2007-08-23)
Liquid crystals are a soft condensed matter phase that share properties with both isotropic liquids and crystalline solids. Composite materials formed from both low molecular weight liquid crystals and polymers are of both ...
Surface Modification Of 6H-SiC Under Vacuum Annealing Studied By Time Of Flight Positron Annihilation Induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
This thesis presents the first study of vacuum annealing of 6H- SiC surface using Time-of-Flight-Positron Annihilation induced Auger Electron Spectroscopy(TOF-PAES) . The study was the first application of a TOF-PAES ...
The Eggshell Structures Of Ringed Turtle - Doves (Streptopelia risoria)
(Biology, 2007-08-23)
The avian egg provides nutrients and protects the growing embryo from physical and microbial harm. Structures fundamental to the protection are the membrane layers, which are tightly meshed networks of collagen fibers, ...
On The Image Of The Totalling Functor
(Mathematics, 2007-08-23)
Let A denote a DG algebra and k a field. The totalling functor, from the category of chain complexes over the graded A-modules to the catagory of DG modules over A, can be extended to one between their derived categories. ...
The Pricing And Determinants Of The Discretionary Component Of Employee Stock Option Value
(Accounting, 2007-09-19)
In this study, I first re-examine the pricing effect of employee stock option (ESO) value. I find a negative association between ESO value and share price, supporting the view that investors view ESO value as an expense ...
Structural Optimization Using ANSYS And Regulated Multiquadric Response Surface Model
(Mechanical Engineering, 2007-08-23)
The high computational expense of large non-linear and complex finite element analysis limits or often prohibits the use of conventional codes in engineering design and multidisciplinary optimization. Consequently alternate ...
Tracing And Replay Of Real-time Concurrent Programs In Vxworks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Real-time concurrent programs are difficult to analyze, debug and test because of the existence of race conditions. In particular, cyclic debugging requires the ability to reproduce a failed execution. That is, when a ...
A Dynamic Framework For Testing The Synchronization Behavior Of Java Monitors
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A Java monitor is a specialized class that is used to synchronize the behavior of threads in a Java program. The monitors in a Java program must be adequately tested to ensure the correctness of the program. In this thesis ...
An Emperical Evaluation Of Adequacy Criteria For Testing Concurrent Programs
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
A concurrent program contains two or more threads that execute concurrently and work together to perform some task. Concurrency increases the efficiency of a program. Testing of concurrent programs has been a challenging ...
HEROS: A Patient-centered Goal-directed Electronic Medical Record System For The Homeless
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2007-08-23)
Homelessness is a growing problem in the United States. Numerous barriers keep the street homeless from obtaining healthcare. Medical Street Outreach (MSO) programs are designed to reach out to the homeless. Gathering ...
