  • David Foster Wallace's communal middle ground

    Creator:
    Randlemon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony. I examine Lionel Trilling's definitions of sincerity and authenticity before moving toward an...

  • Performance and parameter prediction of large synchronous machines from physical dimensions

    Creator:
    Heberle, David D.
    Abstract:
    A project funded by the Southern California Edison (SCE) Company, Research Center of Irwindale, California, has supported the development of a performance and parameter prediction software program for use during the refurbishment of large synchronous machines, turbine generators, and synchronous condensers. The computer program was developed for SCE to allow...

  • External variables that affect willingness to accept technology as a resource : a pilot project

    Creator:
    Bricher, Judith Scheuerman
    Abstract:
    A home computer revolution is predicted to change America in the next 20 years. If this is to occur, a consumer must perceive the home computer as a technological resource. According to consumer behavior studies, acceptance of a new product is based on internal determinants, which are affected by environmental...

  • Preliminary studies on a magnetic elevator for solids (MES)

    Creator:
    Ranawake, Udaya A.
    Abstract:
    The thesis describes the preliminary studies on a laboratory model of a magnetic elevator intended as part of a system for circulating magnetic materials in chemical reactors. A multiple coil laboratory model, controlled by computer, was designed and constructed. Current measuring transducers were used to monitor system performance and study...

  • Three-dimensional finite element design procedure for the brushless doubly fed machine

    Creator:
    Thompson, Brenda E.
    Abstract:
    Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFM) have potential advantages in variable speed generation and adjustable speed drive applications. The most significant of these advantages is a reduction in the power electronic converter rating, and therefore a reduction in overall system cost. Presently, efforts are being directed at optimizing the design of...

    Creator:
    Josten, Jonathon M.
    Abstract:
    Over the past fourteen years since the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Americans of varied political persuasions have continually identified the day as a defining moment in the history of the nation, which caused a rupture in the cultural rhythm and psyche. This sensibility is...

  • Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

    Creator:
    Wallace, Zachary P.
    Abstract:
    Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

  • Hybrid electric vehicle converter harmonics

    Creator:
    Bowers, Waylon T.
    Abstract:
    Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV’s) are a very important part of today’s transportation system as they are bridging the gap between fully electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion vehicles (ICV’s). They have much higher efficiencies and lower emissions than ICV’s, while still having the ability to travel long range and refuel...

  • Search for protein-protein interactions underlying the cis-preferential replication of turnip yellow mosaic virus

    Creator:
    Wallace, S. Ellen
    Abstract:
    Coreplication experiments have revealed that replication of turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) RNA in turnip protoplasts is cis-preferential. Genomes encoding mutant p141 or p66, proteins essential for virus replication, were inefficiently rescued by a helper genome. One model for the cis-preferential replication of TYMV is that p66 and p141 form...
