  • The leading edge of a tropical instability wave : interpretation as a gravity current

    Creator:
    McHugh, Elizabeth Helen
    Abstract:
    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...

  • A Permanent-Magnet Linear Generator Wave Energy Converter for Low Power Ocean Sensors

    Creator:
    Miles, Lillian F.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • How we live with words

    Creator:
    Rhoten, Karalee N.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Shear and convective turbulence in a model of thermohaline intrusions

    Creator:
    Mueller, Rachael
    Abstract:
    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...

  • A programmable BiCMOS transconductance-capacitor filter for high frequencies

    Creator:
    Beck, Jeffery S.
    Abstract:
    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....

  • 'That life of commonplace sacrifices' : representations of womanhood in Irish Catholic culture in James Joyce's Dubliners

    Creator:
    McGrory, Suzette L.
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Percussive-welded p-n junctions in silicon

    Creator:
    Tao, David Ming-Shih
    Abstract:
    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...

  • On his own terms : William James, identity, and the development of American Psychology

    Creator:
    Stoller, Kevin R.
    Abstract:
    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 it's N-7 derivatives in rabbits

    Creator:
    Tavipatana, Wattanaporn
    Abstract:
    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...

  • Non-saturating amplifier theory

    Creator:
    Looney, James Chester
    Abstract:
    The performance of certain high-gain amplifiers, such as those used in null detectors, can be greatly improved by using a nonlinear element in a feedback loop. With the addition of nonlinear feedback, it is possible to obtain an amplifier that can handle a large dynamic range of input signals without...
