A sharp temperature front, oriented along the south-west corner of the leading edge of a Tropical Instability Wave (TIW) warm trough, was encountered at 0°N, 140°W on November 2, 2008 and detected by a 0.45°C increase in SST that occurred over 7 s. The distinct SST signal was observed at...

Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave...
The words we use to define our lives are often determined by the way we render any given moment. Every instance of writing is a moment of remembering, and a non-fiction essay gives the author free rein to unravel an instance, paint a portrait of what time has already come...
Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between oceanic water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy resulting from the vastly differing diffusivities of heat and salt in seawater. The flows are composed of stacked intrusions that flux more buoyant and...
With advancements in CMOS technology, high speed analog circuits that were
traditionally implemented with discrete circuit components can now be made monolithically.
Antialiasing filters for video signals as well as signal conditioning filters in high
speed communication channels are examples of applications where high frequency integrated
circuits are now feasible....
Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
This thesis investigates a way to fabricate P-N junctions by
percussive welding. The theoretical basis of percussive welding, design
considerations of the apparatus used, and the electrical characteristics
of the junctions were the main objectives of this investigation.
P-type silicon wafers and gold wire doped with arsenic as a
N-type...
William James came of age at a time of great social and intellectual change in the United States. During this period, new professional identities proliferated, and a new culture of professionalization developed with important ramifications for conceptions of individual and social identity. Professionalization was also closely related to key intellectual...
Pharmacokinetics of theophylline and N-7 substituted
theophylline in rabbits when administered alone and in
various combinations were investigated. This thesis has
four chapters dealing with etophylline and theophylline;
proxyphylline and theophylline; dyphylline and theophylline;
and etophylline, proxyphylline and dyphylline pharmacokinetics
when administered concomitantly. All chapters
are interrelated. Each chapter has...
The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...
