The Va : Traditional Culture and Modernization of a Minority Nationality in China

Creator:: Chiang, Hung-i and Jiang, Hongyi
Abstract:: The Va nationality, despite its small population compared to other nationalities in China, has preserved most of its traditions largely due to limits placed by historical circumstances and geographical isolation. To non-Chinese anthropologists, the Va people still remain unknown, as there is little or no information about them in English...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: one constituent element of a large group (as a nation). 2 Va nationality is Wazu in Han language

Understanding policy change in hydropower development by using MSA: A case study of the Nu River Project, China

Creator:: Zhong, Huaxia
Abstract:: In 2003, due to the dramatic growth of economy, China’s National Development and Reform Commission proposed to build 13 dams on the Nu River to fulfill the nation’s rapidly growing demand for hydropower. The 13 dams that comprise the Nu River Project (NRP) are considered among the biggest hydropower development...

Towards Annotation-Efficient Video Representation Learning

Creator:: Patravali, Jay Sanjay
Abstract:: Labeling videos is costly, time-consuming and tedious. These costs can escalate in applications such as medical diagnosis or autonomous driving where we need domain expertise for annotation. Few-shot action recognition aims to solve this problem by annotation-efficient learning mechanisms. This thesis presents MetaUVFS as the first Unsupervised Meta-learning algorithm for...

Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

Creator:: Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
Abstract:: The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

A microchannel-based thermal management system for hydrogen storage adsorbent beds

Creator:: Steigleder, Leif J.
Abstract:: Hydrogen has been shown to be a promising replacement for fossil fuels for use in light duty vehicles because it is a clean, renewable and plentiful resource with a high gravimetric energy density. However, in order to obtain an acceptable volumetric energy density, densification of the hydrogen is required. Adsorptive...

Transportation network connectivity, facilities encouraging walkability, and crime

Creator:: Bornasal, Floraliza B.
Abstract:: This thesis explores the relationship between crime, transportation network connectivity, and engineered facilities built to increase walkability through a case study of twenty-five sites within the city of Spokane, Washington. Using data spanning between 2008 and 2010, the author developed a GIS model representing conditions of the built environment, social...

Channel Estimation in TDD MU-MIMO Systems using Sub-Linear Sparse Signal Recovery Algorithms

Creator:: Barry, David G.
Abstract:: Massive Multiple-User Miltiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication systems incorporate promising advanced strong technologies for upcoming 5G communications. To obtain some of the high spectrum and energy e ciencies bonuses brought by MU-MIMO systems, the ability to obtain Channel State information, especially on the receiver side (CSI), is important. To minimize...

Effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Creator:: Gunderson, Eric P.
Abstract:: The effect of cosputtered catalyst on growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) was investigated. Aligned CNTs were observed using a cosputtered catalytic metal deposited directly on boro-aluminosilicate glass. Catalytic metal alloys were sputtered directly onto the substrate using magnetron sputtering. Deposition...

Utilization of Low-value Lumber from Small-diameter Timber Harvested in Pacific Northwest Forest Restoration Programs in Hybrid Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Core Layers: Technical Feasibility

Creator:: Lawrence, Christina
Abstract:: Each year the United States: Forest Service (USFS) spends billions of dollars fighting forest fires. One strategy used by the USFS to prevent catastrophic fires is through forest restoration programs, in which potential forest fuel is removed through mechanized thinning. This program is expensive and generates high volumes of small-diameter...

Molecular Dynamics Study of structural Evolution, Tensile Deformation and Nanoindentation of Monatomic Metallic Glasses

Creator:: Chen, Fangzheng
Abstract:: Metallic glasses are attracting tremendous attention because of their fundamental significance and great potential to be used as structural or functional materials in engineering applications. Significant efforts have been devoted to studying their unique properties as well as their disordered nature. Metallic glasses possess much higher strength and elastic strain...
