The IVDS system consists of a Consumer Control Unit which transmits user requests, a Repeater Unit which receives transmissions from the CCUs, and a Host System which takes appropriate actions for user demands. This thesis follows the evolution of the original CCU prototype as more capabilities are added and hardware platforms are changed, focusing on the addition of a bar code interface to the CCU. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aIVDS ainteractive video abar codes auniversal remotes aspread spectrum 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-316151699632891 2http 03158nam 2200325Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025006001100042008004100053035001500094040001300109049000900122090002700131100003400158245014100192260008300333300003800416440003700454500001000491502007800501504003200579520185500611538016802466650002702634650002302661650002702684651002802711856007002739949002302809 ocm27701466 960717 OCoLC 19930310092013.0 m d 930310s1992 vaua b 000 0 eng d a1024-12460 aVPI cVPI aVPII aLD5655.V855 b1992.N673 1 aNorabuena, Edmundo O., d1953- 10 aVelocity structure of the subducting Nazca plate beneath central Peru as inferred from travel time anomalies / cby Edmundo O.

Hypocenters for these events, which are beneath the sub-andean and eastern Peruvian basins, were determined using a best-fitting and one-dimensional velocity-depth model with a 15-station digitally-recording network deployed in the epicentral region. For that model, P-wave travel times to coastal stations, about 6 trenchward, exhibit negative residuals of up to 4 seconds and have considerably more complexity than arrivals at the network stations. The residuals at coastal stations are conjectured to result from travel paths with long segments in the colder, higher velocity subducting plate. Travel time anomalies were modeled by 3-D raytracing. Computed ray paths show that travel times to coastal stations for the eastern Peru events can be satisfactorily modeled if velocities relative to the surrounding mantle are 6% lower within the uppermost slab (a 6 km thicklayer composed of basaltic oceanic crust) and 8% higher within the cold periodititic layer (which must be at least 44 km thick). Raytracing runs for this plate model show that "shadow zones" can occur if the source-slab-receiver geometry results in seismic rays passing through regions in which the slab undergoes significant changes in slope. Such geometries exist for seismic waves propagating to some coastal stations from sources located beneath the eastern Peruvian basin. Observed first-arrival times for such cases do in fact have less negative residuals than those for geometries which allow for "direct" paths. Modeling such arrivals as trapped mode propagation through the high-velocity part of the plate produces arrival times consistent with those observed. aAlso available on the Internet as an electronic document (1 file : 3 Mb).

The purpose of this system is to provide decision support for an automated whole-farm planner (CROPS). CROPS (Buick et al., 1992) generates crop rotation plans that can address some of the environmental, economic and legislative pressures facing natural resource managers. To generate and recommend a crop rotation plan CROPS requires estimates on the soil erosion risks and pesticide pollution potential of the crop rotation. In this research I have designed and prototyped a system that can assist CROPS in the process of whole-farm planning by providing information required for determining the soil erosion risks and the pesticide pollution potential of crop rotations. Inputs for the system include: a crop rotation, its tillage and residue management practices, and field conditions. Soil erosion risk is quantified using the C-vlaue. Pest risks are likelihood of pest outbreaks that require control in a crop rotation. CBR was the chosen methodology for system implementation. In CBR, solutions to new problem situations are derived from retrieving and adapting solutions to similar problem situations experienced in the past. The system was prototyped using Esteem, a CBR development shell, and runs on a PC under the MS Windows operating system. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. acase-based reasoning awhole-farm planning 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5741181879602301/etd-title.html 2http 02638cmm 2200313Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003600120100002200156245012700178256004400305260010600349400004900455500004300504500001000547500001000557500001400567502007800581504004100659520136200700538006802062538004302130653008002173856007102253 ocm35996847 961211 OCoLC 19961210121635.0 961210s1996 vau d s eng a1258-69260 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 Musgrove 1 aMusgrove, Mark D. 10 aVLSI implementation of a run-time reconfigurable custom computing integrated circuit h[computer file] / cMark D.

In order to increase computing capacity beyond these physical bounds, new computing paradigms must be developed that make more efficient use of existing manufacturing technologies. Custom Computing Machines (CCMs) are an emerging class of computers that offer promising possibilities for future high-performance computational needs. With the increasing popularity of the run-time reconfigurable (RTR) concept in the CCM community, questions have arisen as to what computational device should be at the heart of an RTR platform. Currently the preferred device, and really the only practical device, has been the RAM-based Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Unfortunately, for applications that require high performance, FPGAs are limited by their narrow data path and small computational density. The Colt integrated circuit has been designed from the start to be the computational processing element in an RTR platform. Colt is an RTR data-flow processor array with a course-grain architecture (16-bitdata path). This thesis covers the VLSI implementation and verification of the Colt integrated circuit, including the approach and methods necessary to make a functionally working integrated circuit. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aVLSI arun-time reconfigurable aconfigurable computing adata flow aFPGA aDSP 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-4941511109613150 2http 01561cam 2200337Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040002300098043001200121049000900133074001400142086002300156090002400179130006600203245006400269260017100333300002500504500007700529500003600606500002300642500001400665500010200679500002400781530007400805650005100879710004200930856024000972949001101212 ocm30752412 970221 OCoLC 19940908103411.0 940712m19949999dcu f000 0 eng d a1114-16860 aDCL cDCL dOCL dVPI an-us--- aVPII a0132-C-12 aC 3.257/2:SC 92-A- aHD9981.4 b.C46 1992 0 aCensus of service industries (1992). pGeographic area series. 10 a1992 census of service industries. pGeographic area series. a[Washington, D.C.] : bU.S. Dept. of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census : bFor sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O., c[1994- ]. av. : bill. ; c28 cm. a"Geographic area series--52 reports (SC92-A-1 to 52)."--P.

An energy modeled NLP formulation was used in obtain result for a variety of missions and wind profiles. The energy constraint derived included terms due to the wind field and the performance index was a weighted combination of the amount of fuel used and the final time. With no emphasis on time and with no winds the vehicle was found to fly at maximum lift to drag velocity. V(md). When flying in tail winds the velocity was less than V(md), while flying in head winds the velocity was higher than V(md). A family of solutions was found with varying times of flight and varying fuel amounts consumed which will aid the operator in choosing a flight plan depending on a desired landing time. At certain parts of the flight, the turning terms in the energy constraint equation were found to be significant. An analysis of a simpler vertical plane cruise optimal control problem was used to explain some of the characteristics of the vertical plane NLP results. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aoptimization aoptimal control aaircraft performance 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-17616979652211/etd-title.html 2http 01361nam 2200325 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040001800091043001200109049000900121074001800130086002000148090002300168099002100191110004100212245024400253246012500497260004900622300002300671500001700694500006400711500001800775504004100793530004800834650005100882650006400933856003800997 ocm35682658 OCoLC 19961023155551.0 961120s1995 dcu b f000 0 eng d a1257-33760 dGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a1094 (online) 0 aY 3.SE 5:2 SE 9 aKF9685 b.U55 1995a aDocs Y3.SE5:2SE9 2 aUnited States Sentencing Commission. 10 aReport to the Congress : badequacy of penalties for the intentional exposure of others through sexual activity to the human immunodeficiency virus (as directed by section 40503 of Public law 103-322) / cUnited States Sentencing Commission. 30 aAdequacy of penalties for the intentional exposure of others through sexual activity to the human immunodeficiency virus a[Washington, D.C.] : bThe Commission, c1995. a5 leaves ; c28 cm. aCover title. aNot destributed to depository libraries in a physical form. a"March 1995." aIncludes bibliographical references. aAvailable via Internet at the GPO Web site. 0 aSentences (Criminal procedure) zUnited States. 0 aVictims of crimes xLegal status, laws, etc. zUnited States. 7 uhttp://www.ussc.gov/hiv.htm 2http 02014nas 2200421 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035010001700076035001500093037006500108037009700173040001800270042000700288043001200295049000900307050002100316074001400337074002300351086002100374099002400395245009100419246004500510260021100555300002200766310001100788362001600799490006800815500002200883530006900905580017300974650007701147710004801224780010601272787011001378830006301488856004101551 ocm34616284 OCoLC 19960802153952.0 960919c19959999dcuar s f0 0eng a 96645124 a1248-20460 bSupt. of Docs., U.S. Govt.

All three objectives were successfully met. The single crystal stress technique uses a least squares analysis of X-ray diffraction data to calculate the full stress tenson. In this way, precise non-destructive stress measurements can be made with known error bars. Rocking curve analysis, stress gradient corrections, and a data reliability technique were implemented to ensure that the stress data are correct. A theory was developed to explain "power slump", which is rapid decrease in the amplifying properties of microwave amplifier circuits during operation. The model explains that for the particular geometry and bias configuration of the devices studied in this research, power slump is linearly related to shear stress at values of less than 90 MPa. The microscopic explanation of power slump is that radiation enhanced dislocation glide increases the kink concentration, thereby increasing the generation center concentration in the active region of the device. These generation centers increase the total gate current, leading to a decrease in the amplyfing properties of device. Passivation layer processing has been shown to both reduce the fracture strength and increase the residual stress in GaAs wafers, making them more susceptible to wafer breakage. Bare wafers are found to have higher fracture strength than passivated wafers. Bare wafers are also found to contain less residual stress than SiON passivated wafers, which, in turn are found to have less stress than SiN passivated wafers. aTopographic imaging suggests that SiN passivated wafers have larger flaws than SiON passivated wafers, and that the disbrituion of flaw size among SiN passivated wafers is wider than the distribution of flaws in SiON passivated wafers. Theses flaws are believed to lead to breakage of the device durig processing, resulting in low fabrication yield. Both the power slump model and the wafer breakage data show that these phenomena are dependent on residual stress developed in the substrate during device fabrication. Reduction of process-iduced residual stress should therefore simultaneously decrease wafer breakage rates and reduce power slump during device fabrication and operation. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. agallium arsenide aMESFET astress ax-ray diffraction awafer breakage apower slump 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-394172159651721 2http 02567nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003700120100002900157245014400186256004400330260008300374440004700457500004300504500001000547502007800557504004100635520136100676538009402037538004302131653003402174856006902208 ocm35020956 960715 OCoLC 19960702154504.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-38460 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 MacMillin 1 aMacMillin, Peter Edward. 10 aTrim, control, and performance effects in variable-complexity high-speed civil transport design h[computer file] / cPeter Edward MacMillin. aComputer data (1 file : 1000 kilobytes) aBlacksburg, Va. : bVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996. 90 aVPI & SU.

We optimize the design for minimum take off gross weight, including both aerodynamics and structures to find the wing planform and thickness distribution, fuselage shape, engine placement and thrust, using 29 design variables. While adding trim and control it was found necessary to simultaneously consider landing gear integration. We include the engine-out and crosswind landing requirements, as well as engine nacelle ground strike for lateral-directional requirements. For longitudinal requirements we include nose-wheel lift-off rotation and approach trim as the critical conditions. We found that the engine-out condition and the engine nacelle ground strike avoidance were critical conditions. The addition of a horizontal tail to provide take-off rotation resulted in a significant weight penalty, and that penalty proved to be sensitive to the position of the landing gear. We include engine sizing with thrust during cruise and balanced field length conditions. Both the thrust during cruise and balanced field length constraints were critical. We include a subsonic leg in our mission analysis. The addition of a subsonic mission requirement also results in a large weight penalty. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. avertical tail sizing acontrol 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-43489759651581 2http 01547nam 2200397 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040001800091043001200109049000900121050002200130074001400152074002300166086002200189100001700211245010700228246005400335246003300389260016500422300002700587490007000614500001900684500005300703500003400756500001700790500001400807530005800821650004000879650003700919710004200956830008500998856005501083949001101138 tmp96255003 OCoLC 19970116114708.0 970217s1996 dcua s f000 0 eng d a1249-01960 dGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII 00 aHA203 b.C87 no.55 a0142-C-08 a0142-C-08 (online) 0 aC 3.186:P-70/2/55 1 aEller, T.

However, the development of these techniques has not focused on application to time-periodic systems in particular until recently. The filtered-X LMS algorithm is regarded as the best disturbance rejection technique for aperiodic systems by many, as has been proven in the acoustics industry for rejecting unwanted noise. Since this is essentially a feedforward approach, we might expect its performance to be good with respect to time-periodic systems in which the disturbance frequency is already known. The work presented in this thesis is an investigation of the performance of the filtered-X LMS algorithm for disturbance rejection in time-periodic systems. Two cases are examined: a generalized linear, time-periodic system and the helicopter rotor blade in forward flight. Results for the generalized system show that the filtered-X LMS algorithm does converge for time-periodic disturbance inputs and can produce very small errors. For the helicopter rotor blade system the algorithm is shown to produce very small errors, with a 95%, or 14 dB, reduction in error from the open-loop system. The filtered-X LMS disturbance rejection technique is shown to provide a successful means of rejecting time-periodic disturbances for time-periodic systems. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aadaptive control afiltered-X LMS atime-periodic adisturbance rejection ahelicopter rotor blade 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5134151959631701 2http 02772cmm 2200469Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040002800098049000900126052001300135074001400148086001900162090002200181245016000203246003400363246004400397246003800441256003200479260008000511300005800591500006400649500003400713500007600747500004500823500005700868500005800925520038700983538010101370538009701471538010501568538011401673538012501787538010401912580011202016651004102128651002602169710002902195710006702224949001102291 ocm32384886 960130 OCoLC 19951212093504.0 950428m19949999dcu m f N/A n a1202-56360 aIXA cIXA dGAO dGPO dVPI aVPII a3182 bV4 a0830-Z-02 0 aNAS 1.86/2:V.- aQB621 b.M332 1994 00 aMagellan h[computer file] : bfull-resolution radar mosaics / ccompiled by the U.S. Geological Survey for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. 30 aFull-resolution radar mosaics 30 aMagellan, full-resolution radar mosaics 1 iTitle on container aMagellan FMAP aComputer data and programs. a[Washington, D.C.] : bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration, c1994- a170 computer laser optical discs : bcol. ; c4 3/4 in. a"Data contents: Image files at 75 M per pixel"--Disc label. a"Magellan 'FMAP'"--Container. aDistributed to depository libraries, Shipping list no.: 95-0032-E, etc. a"Gazeteer of feature names"--Disc label. aIncludes a location of images map on each container. a"USA-NASA-USGS-MG-1101 through MG-1270"--NASA, NSSDC. aThese Geological Survey radar mosaics of 92% of the planet of Venus are prepared from NASA's Magellan orbiter images and use the International Astronomical Union (IAU) gazeteer of approved names of places, Sinusoidal equal area projection, and latitude and longitude lines.

D.)--Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1996. aIncludes bibliographical references. aAuthor's abstract: Experiments were performed to document the turbulent flowfield produced downstream of an airfoil encountering an intense streamwise vortex. This type of perpendicular airfoil--vortex interaction commonly occurs in helicopter rotor flows. The experiments presented here thus provide useful information for the prediction of helicopter noise, particularly BWI noise. Three-component velocity and turbulence measurements were made in unprecedented detail using acomputerized miniature four-sensor hot-wire probe system; revealing much about the structure and behavior of this flow over a range of conditions. The interaction between the vortex and the airfoil wake leaves the vortex surrounded by a large region of intense turbulence unlike the turbulence surrounding an isolated vortex. Even for close separations, the vortex core passes the airfoil virtually unchanged. However, vorticity of opposite sign is shed by the airfoil in response to the angle of attack distribution induced by the vortex resulting in an unstable circulation distribution according to Rayleigh's criterion. Simple theoretical models adequately describe the shed vorticity distribution of the airfoil and the unstable circulation distribution it imparts on the vortex. As the flow develops, the vortex continuously distorts the airfoil wake. The strain rates imparted bythe vortex on the spanwise vorticity contained in the airfoil wake result in an anisotropic, turbulenceproducing stress field. For several chord lengths downstream, the vortex core remains laminar andlittle change is seen in the unstable circulation distribution. While the vortex core is laminar, turbulentfluctuations measured in the core are the result of inactive wandering motions and the characteristic length and velocity scales of the flat portion of the vortex wake appear to be appropriate scales for the fluctuations. aEventually, the vortex core becomes turbulent as indicated by an increase in high frequency velocity fluctuation levels of more than an order of magnitude. Subsequently, the circulation distribution reorganizes to a stable distribution. A loss in core circulation occurs due to a decrease in the peak tangential velocity which is proportionately larger than the increase in the vortex core radius. The peak tangential velocity decreases to the point where it is exceeded by the axial velocity deficit---another unstable situation. These effects increase with decreased separation between the vortex and the airfoil, but appear to be largely independent of airfoil angle of attack an only weakly dependent upon vortex strength. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. avortex aturbulence aBWI ahelicopter noise ahot-wire 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-31251021109643250 2http 01360nam 2200349 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076037002500091040001800116043001200134049000900146050002200155074001400177086002200191100002100213245005900234260009100293300001900384490007000403500001900473500003400492500001800526530016200544650005700706650004300763650006600806710004200872830008500914949001100999 tmp96128003 OCoLC 19960516111220.0 960617s1996 dcua s f000 0 eng d a1230-85260 a803-044-00044-9 bGPO dGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII 00 aHA203 b.C87 no.53 a0142-C-08 0 aC 3.186:P-70/2/53 1 aCasper, Lynne M. 10 aWho's minding our preschoolers? / cby Lynne M.

It seeks to answer two primary questions: One, do governance-related characteristics inflence the promptness with which poorly-performing CEOs are removed from office; and two, are removals of CEOs followed by changes in internal control mechanisms? The results suggest that poorly performing managers are removed more quickly in firms that have a larger percentage of independent outside directors on their board, that have higher equity ownership by the non-CEO directors and lower equity ownership by the CEO, and that separate the positions of CEO and chairperson. The results also suggest that the removal of the CEO provides both the opportunity and the incentive to alter internal govenance systems. There is significant turnover of board members and the new boards generally have a higher fraction of independent outside directors and are more likely to separate the positions of CEO and chairperson. In addition, the sensitivity of CEO compensation to firm performance increases signficantly following turnover. These post-turnover improvements in monitoring and incentive schemes are more significant in those firms that require a crisis in the product and/or capital market before they remove their CEOs. However, there is no evidence of short-term improvement in operating performance following changes in CEOs and governance systems. Overall, the results suggest that board and ownership characteristics do influence the effectiveness of internal monitoring systems and that CEO turnover is associated with broad changes in monitoring and incentive systems. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. acorporate governance aboards of directors aownership afirm performance acompensation 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-183513359611541 2http 02867nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003400120100002200154245011200176256004300288260010600331440003400437500004300471500001000514502007800524504004100602520168100643538006802324538004302392653005702435856008502492 ocm35329818 961002 OCoLC 19960830164933.0 960830s1996 vau d s eng a1245-71760 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 Radtke 1 aRadtke, Philip J. 10 aBasal area growth and crown dynamics in a loblolly pine spacing trial h[computer file] / cPhilip J.

A spacing trial established on the lower Applachian Piedmont and Atlantic Coastal Plain provided the data for the investigation. The test plots were planted at densities ranging from 303 to 2723 stems per acre, and at various rectangular and square spacings. Annual stem and crown measurements were used to derive the sought-after relationships. The age of basal area culmination was found to be inversely related to both planting density and site index. Crown closure was advanced on sites of relatively high qualit, exhibiting an approximately linear increase with time from planting until the age of basal area culmination. The slope of this trend increased with planting density. The degree of crown closure at the age of basal area culmination was significantly higher on narrowly-spaced plots than it was on widley-spaced plots; however, it did not vary significantly with the site index. Although crown closure is generally accelerated on high quality sites, the relatively early culmination of basal area growth on such sites offsets the increase--the net result being that crown closure at culmination age does not vary significantly with site differences. Crown closure indices can be used to determine whether or not a stand has reached the culmination of basal area growth; however, more readily available information on spacing and site index can be used to make the same prediction. The results of this study might be most useful to modelers of early stand dynamics in loblolly pine and other commercially important pines. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. arown closure aPinus taeda aculmination age aforestry 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-745172179632331/etd-title.html 2http 03898nmm 2200301Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111090002800120100002900148245011600177256004800293260006300341500001000404502010400414504001800518520099300536520093201529520077502461538006403236590005903300653006603359710011503425856005603540 ocm34326557 960515 OCoLC 19960307103652.0 960307s1995 vau d eng a1216-55360 aVPI cVPI aVPII aLD5655 b.V855 1995.K846 1 aKuhn, William B., d1956- 10 aDesign of integrated, low power, radio receivers in BiCMOS technologies h[computer file] / cby William B.

Although considerable research has been directed at developing suitable switched-capacitor and Gm-C based replacements for these filters, the resulting design have yet to see substantial commercial application. A critical problem faced by existing active filter implementations is found to be the fractional bandwidths and acceptable dynamic range. This power consumption, which can reach several hundred milliwatts, is incompatible with portable wireless product design. Additional problems include the complexity of tuning control circuits required to achieve small fractional bandwidths, and difficulties in extending filter designs to higher frequencies. These problems are examined in depth, and performance bounds and new implementation techniques are considered. a(continued) A detailed study of active filters reveals that their dynamic range limitations are fundamentally the result of regenerative gain associated with the realization of high-Q poles. Thus, some form of energy storage and exchange mechanism is shown to be required to decrease the regeneration needed. This leads to an investigation of on-chip LC filtering. It is shown that on-chip spiral inductors can be designed to resonate with both intentional and parasitic capacitances, forming stable tuned circuits operating from 100 MHz to over 1 GHz. Although the Q of the inductors employed is typically small (Q<10), negative resistance circuits can be used to increase the effective Q to arbitrarily high values. Hence, very small fractional bandwidths (<2%) can be obtained. Moreover, even a small inductor Q is shown to provide significant increases in dynamic range over that achievable in fully active filter designs. a(continued) Important practical considerations surrounding the implementation of Q-enhanced LC filters in silicon CMOS processes are then investigated, including realizing the necessary on-chip spiral inductors and Q-enhancement circuits, predicting frequency and Q tolerances and temperature stabilty, and developing real-time frequency and Q tuning mechanisms. These issues are studied in depth and two prototype filters designed to validate theoretical predictions are reported. Performance levels achieved by these prototypes indicate that Q-enhanced filtering serves as a viable approach to solving the on-chip bandpass filtering problem. These filters can, therefore, be expected to play an important role in the development of future integrated receiver products. aSystem requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aWorkstations available in Newman Library MEDIA CENTER. aradio receiver design areceiver architecture afilter dynamics 1 aVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. bUniversity Libraries. bScholarly Communications Project. 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/materials/kuhn.pdf 01263nam 2200337 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002300091043001200114049000900126074001400135086001800149088001600167099002100183245014300204246004600347246001900393260013400412300003300546500001700579500003400596500003600630504005200666650007300718650005000791650003200841710004100873949001100914 tmp96201020 OCoLC 19960920085914.0 961018s1996 dcua b f000 0 eng d a1241-43860 aGPO cGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0455-G-04 0 aED 1.308:W 89 aNLE 96-2011 aDocs ED1.308:W89 00 aU.S. Department of Education World Wide Web : bserver standards and guidelines : March 18, 1996, http://inet.ed.gov/äkstubbs/wwwstds.html. 2 aUS Department of Education World Wide Web 14 aWorld Wide Web aWashington, DC : bNational Library of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement, U.S. Dept. of Education, c[1996] aiii, 27 p. : bill. ; c23 cm. a"June 1996." aShipping list no.: 96-0300-P. a"NLE 96-2011"--P.

These wireless service providers will need to utilize effective position location (PL) technology in order to meet FCC rules. Hyperbolic PL systems are one such technology that can provide accurate PL information using the existing cellular/PCS infrastructure and without requiring additional hardware/software implementation within the mobile unit. In recent years, the IS-95 Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system has gained increasing popularity in North America because of the many advantages it offers over existing air interfaces. However, CDMA systems present some unique challenges to the effectiveness of hyperbolic position location systems. This thesis investigates the performance of the hyperbolic PL technique in CDMA systems. The effect of multipath and shadowed mobile radio environments, the location of the user within the cell, and configuation and number of base stations on the accuracy of the hyperbolic PL technique is investigated. The effect of the power control scheme required in CDMA system operation on the performance of the hyperbolic system is also demonstrated. The simulation results provide insight to the limitations and effectiveness of hyperbolic position location systems within CDMA systems. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aCDMA ahyperbolic aTDOA aposition location 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-447221779662291/etd-title.html 2http 01694nam 2200397 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002500091043001200116049000900128074001100137074001600148074002000164074002000184086002000204099002400224110008500248245021700333260003800550300002300588490007800611500006000689500003400749500002200783504004100805530010200846650004900948650005500997650006601052650006101118810005801179856004801237949001101285 tmp96260019 OCoLC 19970724104356.0 970813s1996 dcu b f000 0 eng d a1249-06560 aDGPO cDGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a1008-C a1008-D (MF) a1008-C (online) a1008-D (online) 0 aY 1.1/8:104-746 aDocs Y1.1/8:104-746 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. bCommittee on Government Reform and Oversight. 10 aProtecting the nation's blood supply from infectious agents : bthe need for new standards to meet new threats : tenth report / cby the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, together with additional views. aWashington : bU.S. G.P.O., c1996. av, 27 p. ; c24 cm. 1 aReport / 104th Congress, 2nd session, House of Representatives ; v104-746 aDistributed to some depository libraries in microfiche. aShipping list no.: 96-0357-P. a"August 2, 1996." aIncludes bibliographical references. aAlso available via Internet from the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight web site. 0 aBlood banks zUnited States xSafety measures. 0 aBlood xTransfusion xSocial aspects zUnited States. 0 aBlood xCollection and preservation xStandards zUnited States. 0 aAIDS (Disease) xTransmission zUnited States xPrevention. 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. tReport ; v104-746. 7 uhttp://www.house.gov/reform/blood.htm 2http a000103 02752nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003500120100002500155245011600180256004400296260010600340440004600446500004300492500001000535502007800545504004100623520151400664538006802178538004302246653008702289856008602376 ocm35329859 961002 OCoLC 19960830165035.0 960830s1996 vau d s eng a1245-71960 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 Gardner 1 aGardner, Tara Conti. 10 aDelipidation treatments for large-scale protein purification processing h[computer file] / cTara Conti Gardner. aComputer data (1 file : 1000 kilobytes) a[Blacksburg, Va. : bUniversity Libraries, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996] 90 aVPI & SU.

Lipid removal is desired prior to protein purification process to decrease nonspecific fouling of downstream chromatographic matrices. Transgenic pig milk was used as a model system to study delipidation from therapeutic protein sources. The majority of triglycerides was extracted from stable lipid micelles and removed with a method that can be incorporated in downstram protein purification processing without denaturing the target protein. An efficient delipidation treatment used TNBP, a non-polar solvent, to extract lipid micelles and then phase transfer milk lipids into a TNBP-swelled dextran particulate. A batch incubation of a whey-TNBP mixture with pre-swollen Sephadex LH-20 or hydroxyalkoxypropyl dextran (HAPD) beads at 4degreesC for 24 hours removed 67+-2% (0.645 mg triglycerides/ml Sephadex LH-20) and 71+-1% (0.628 mg triglycerides/ml HAPD) of the triglycerides present in the skimmed transgenic whey, respectively. Fully swollen beads removed 20% more triglycerides than beads which were wetted but not swollen in TNBP, indicating that a larger phase volume and internal adsorption of the lipids onto the Sephadex matrix dominates over surface adsorption. Polyclonal ELISAs indicated that 89+-6% of the recombinant human Protein C was still present in the transgenic whey after this delipidation treatment, indicating this treatment did not denature or harm the target protein. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. adelipidation alipid removal aprotein purification atransgenic milk asephadex aTNBP 7 ahttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-1454132679612381/etd-title.html 2http 01506nas 2200373Ia 4500001001900000008004100019010001700060012000600077022001400083035001500097040001800112042000900130049000900139090001500148222003600163245003700199246000800236260011300244263000900357265007000366300001700436350004100453362003100494500011700525550011100642650003900753650004500792650004900837710005700886710005100943710005200994856005301046856003301099 ocm20001913 951110 900125c19899999vaufx1p ^ s0uuua0eng d asn 89006813 l1 0 a1045-1064 a0903-28960 aNSD cNSD dVPI ansdp aVPI$ aT61 b.J687 00 aJournal of technology education 00 aJournal of technology education. 33 aJTE 00 aBlacksburg, Va. : bTechnology Education Program.

This thesis investigates the performance of DECT in different channel conditions. DECT is simulated using the Signal Processing WorkSystem (SPW) software in different channels including the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, the flat faded Rayleigh channel, the frequency selective faded Rayleigh channel, and the Ricean channel. The effect of cochannel and adjacent channel interference is also investigated in order to quantify the RF channel dispersive properties, and other parameters that determine performance in a radio channel, channel impulse response measurements at 1.9 GHz are made. Parameters that help describe the radio channel are identified and calculated from the recorded power delay profile measurements. Finally, a mean-opinion-score (MOS) rating was performed for National Semiconductor Corporation's implementation of DECT in the indoor, indoor-to-outdoor, and outdoor environments. A comparison is made between the MOS and propagation measurements. It is found that the performance of DECT is very closely related to the RMS delay spread and the path loss in the RF channel. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aDECT 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-82718679622181/etd-title.html 2http 01494nam 2200337 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040001800091049000900109074001400118086001600132099001900148245005000167260008900217300003300306500003600339500029300375500003400668530003300702650003600735650003800771710005900809710003600868710008300904856006700987856004401054856004701098949001101145 tmp96163047 OCoLC 19960621164149.0 960717s1996 dcua b f100 0 eng d a1236-67760 dGPO dDLC dMvI aVPII a0745-A-01 0 aL 29.2:C 43 aDocs L29.2:C43 00 aForced labor : bthe prostitution of children. aWashington, DC : bU.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs, c1996. axi, 152 p. : bill. ; c23 cm. a"Symposium proceedings"--Cover. a"Papers from a symposium co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs, the Women's Bureau, and the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, held on September 29, 1995, at the U.S. Department of Labor in Washington, DC." aShipping list no.: 96-0255-P. aAlso available via Internet. 0 aChild prostitution xCongresses. 0 aChildren xEmployment xCongresses. 1 aUnited States. bBureau of International Labor Affairs. 1 aUnited States. bWomen's Bureau. 1 aUnited States. bDept. of State. bBureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. 7 uhttp://www.ilr.cornell.edu/library/eöarchive/ChildLabor/ 2http 7 ugopher://gopher.ilr.cornell.edu 2gopher 1 aftp.ilr.cornell.edu uftp://ilr.cornell.edu a000103 01766nam 2200385 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002500091043001200116049000900128074001100137074001600148074002000164074002000184086002000204099002400224110008500248245025200333246014400585260003800729300002300767490007800790500006000868500003400928500002200962504004100984530010201025610005801127610007901185810005801264856004701322949001101369 tmp96260021 OCoLC 19970724104606.0 970813s1996 dcu b f000 0 eng d a1249-06760 aDGPO cDGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a1008-C a1008-D (MF) a1008-C (online) a1008-D (online) 0 aY 1.1/8:104-748 aDocs Y1.1/8:104-748 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. bCommittee on Government Reform and Oversight. 12 aA two-year review of the White House Communications Agency reveals major mismanagement, lack of accountability, and significant mission creep : btwelfth report / cby the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, together with dissenting views. 2 aTwo year review of the White House Communications Agency reveals major mismanagement, lack of accountability, and significant mission creep aWashington : bU.S. G.P.O., c1996. av, 28 p. ; c24 cm. 1 aReport / 104th Congress, 2nd session, House of Representatives ; v104-748 aDistributed to some depository libraries in microfiche. aShipping list no.: 96-0357-P. a"August 2, 1996." aIncludes bibliographical references. aAlso available via Internet from the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight web site. 20 aWhite House Communications Agency (U.S.) xManagement. 20 aWhite House Communications Agency (U.S.) xAppropriations and expenditures. 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. tReport ; v104-748. 7 uhttp://www.house.gov/reform/whca.htm 2http a000103 03378nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004300120100002900163245010600192256004400298260010600342440005000448500004300498500001000541502008000551504004100631520125100672520090501923538006802828538004302896653006702939856007003006 ocm35569412 961002 OCoLC 19960917100155.0 960917s1996 vau d s eng a1248-12660 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Almajdoub 1 aAlmajdoub, Salahuddin A. 12 aA design methodology for physical design for testability h[computer file] / cSalahuddin A.

The goal of this work is to define and establish a specific methodology for PDFT. The proposed design methodology includes techniques to reduce potential bridging faults in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. To compare faults, the design process utilizes a new parameter called the fault index. The fault index for a particular facuuult is the probability of occurrence of the fault divided by the testability of the fault. Faults with the highest fault indices are considered the worst faults and are targeted by the PDFT design process to eliminate them or reduce their probability of occurrence. An implementation of the PDFT design process is constructed using several new tools in addition to other "off-the-shelf" tools. The first tool developed in this work is a testability measure tool for bridging faults. Two other tools are developed to eliminate or reduce the probablity of occurrence of bridging faults with high fault indices. The row enhancer targets faults inside the logic elements of the circuit, while the channel enhancer targets faults inside the routing part of the circuit. a(continued) To demonstrate the capabilities and test the effectiveness o the PDFT design process, this work conducts an experiment which includes designing three CMOS circuits from ISCAS 1985 benchmark circuits. Several layouts are generated for every circuit. Every layout, except the first one, utilizes information from the previous layout to minimize the probability of occurrence for faults with high fault indices. Experimental results show that the PDFT design process successfully achves two goals of PDFT, providing layouts with fewer faults ad minimizing the probability of occurrence of har-to-test faults. Improvement in the total facult index was about 40 percent in some cases, while improvement in total critical area was about 30 percent in some cases. However, virtually all the improvements came from using the row enhancer; the channel enhancer provided only marginal improvements. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aphysical design for testability abridging faults aIDDQ testing 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-522014589642481 2http 01235nam 2200313 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002300091043001200114049000900126074001100135086001500146099001800161245007200179246003800251260010600289300002000395500001700415500003400432500007800466610007000544650007600614650008100690710008800771856005100859949001100910 tmp96170011 OCoLC 19960709093212.0 960816s1996 dcu f000 0 eng d a1236-78760 aGPO cGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0429-A 0 aE 1.2:B 85 aDocs E1.2:B85 00 aBudget-in-brief, fiscal year 1997 : benergy for today and tomorrow. 3 aBudget in brief, fiscal year 1997 a[Washington, D.C.?] : bOffice of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy, U.S. Dept. of Energy, c[1996?] a16 p. ; c28 cm. aCover title. aShipping list no.: 96-0266-P. aAlso available via Internet from the U.S. Dept. of Energy EREN home page. 10 aUnited States. bDept. of Energy xAppropriations and expenditures. 0 aEnergy conservation zUnited States xTechnological innovations xFinance. 0 aRenewable energy sources zUnited States xTechnological innovations xFinance. 1 aUnited States. bDept. of Energy. bOffice of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. 7 uhttp://www.eren.doe.gov/overview/budget/ 2http a000103 03638nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004200120100002500162245016000187256004300347260010600390440004900496500004300545500001000588502008000598504004100678520138000719520089902099538006802998538004303066653014103109856008603250 ocm35232204 961005 OCoLC 19960813122958.0 960813s1996 vau d s eng a1243-02960 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 McKenzie 1 aMcKenzie, Woodrow L. 10 aInvestigative learning in an undergraduate biology laboratory h[computer file] : ban investigation into reform in science education / cWoodrow L.

A model for learning was posed based on learners working in small groups. This model linked a socio-cultural approach to teaching and learning to conceptual change theory. Qualitative research methods were employed to collect a variety of data. Documentation of this innovative curriculum is provided. This investigative curriculum incorporated the research practices that scientists use. A wide range of dynamic interactions with students actively investigating problems and thoughts during this time occurred. This essentially modeled the authentic practices of scientists. A direct comparison was made with this learning environment and the model for learning. Peer tutoring, cooperative learning, and most importantly, peer collaboration were observed when students grappled with difficult problems for which there was no single right answer. Teachers served as guides in learning, shifting responsibility to students. Analysis of student writing revealed richer, more complex definitions of species after the experience of the laboratory. Several of the students used knowledge gained directly from their experiences during the laboratory project to help elaborate their definitions. a(continued) The electronic discussions showed a range of social interactions and interactivity. High quality discussions were found to be rich in scientific thought, engaging discussants by offering information, questioning, and actively hypothesizing. Mediating and facilitating discussions by the participants was found to be an important factor in their success. Groups exhibiting high quality discussions also had a slower repsonse time than other groups, indicating that more substantive dialogues which are rich in thought proceed at a slower pace. Significantly, an important connection has been made between the socio-cultural approach to learning and conceptual change theory. A closer examination of how small groups of learners develop conceptual understanding is needed. This approach also needs to be extended into other settings where reform in science education is taking place. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ascience education reform asocio-cultural aconcept learning acomputer mediated communication aundergraduate biology aauthentic assessment 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-1026203169632121/etd-title.html 2http 03962nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004000120100001900160245010600179256004300285260008300328440006100411500004300472500001000515502008000525504004100605520192400646520089502570538009403465538004303559856007003602 ocm35017939 960718 OCoLC 19960702094854.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-36660 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Juneja 1 aJuneja, Vikas. 10 aLocating structural damage in real time using contrast maximization h[computer file] / cVikas Juneja. aComputer data (1 file : 614 kilobytes) aBlacksburg, Va. : bVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996. 90 aVPI & SU.

Contrast maximization is used to find the excitation forces that maximize the differences in the response of the damaged structure and the antical response of the undamaged structure. The optimal excitations are then matched against a database of optimal excitations to locate the damage. To increase the reliability of the approach when modeling and measurement errors are present, the contrast maximization approach is then combined with an approach based on changes in frequency signature to develop the average angle technique. A damage detectability measure is defined which, for a given level and location of damage and a given amount of modeling and measurement errors, compares the magnitude of the damage to the magnitude of errors in a single number. The success of the average angle technique in damage detection is quantitatively defined by a success factor. The technique is first tested analytically on a 132 degree of freedom truss. The structure can be either equipped with active members or collocated shakers/sensors. The technique has a high success rate in damage detection. The technique is then tested numerically on a 36 degree of freedom truss equipped with 3 collocated shakers/sensors. To simulate experimental conditions, an extensive study is carried out in the presence of numerical noise. It is seen that the success factor in the presence of noise depends upon the success factor in the absence of noise and the damage detectability measure. The members are classified into three groups based on the success factor in the presence of noise. A mathematical relationship between the damage detectability measure and the success factors with and without noise is developed using linear regression. Using the result of numerical simulations in the presence of noise and this mathematical rela- aical simulations in the presence of noise and this mathematical relationship, we find members where we expect to locate damage experimentally, for a given amount of damage and given amount of noise. A similar truss is built and the FEM model of the structure is corrected using experimental data. The average angle technique is applied to locate damage in a member when the member has a low level of damage (25%). The damage detectability measure indicated that the measurement errors are large compared to the damage and it is difficult to detect damage in most detectable locations. The steps taken to rectify that are described and after each step we show the improvement in damage detectability. The average angle technique is used to locate damage in 5 members. The experimental results indicate that the technique can robustly identify the damaged member with limited instrumentation. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-272913359611541 2http 01022nmm 22002897a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002500091049000900116074001800125086002300143099002600166245007000192246003300262260007500295500003000370500002900400538008100429610005600510650001700566650003300583710005600616856004900672949001100721 tmp96274028 OCoLC 19970414140803.0 970513s1997 dcu u f eng d a1250-71960 aDGPO cDGPO dDLC dMvI aVPII a0904 (online) 0 aSE 1.2:IN 8/22/996 aDocs SE1.2:IN8/22/996 00 aInvest wisely : ban introduction to mutual funds h[computer file] 30 aIntroduction to mutual funds a[Washington, D.C.? : bU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, c1997?] a"Last updated: 10/21/96." aTitle from title screen. aMode of access: Internet from the Securities and Exchange Commsion web site. 10 aUnited States. bSecurities and Exchange Commission. 0 aInvestments. 0 aMutual funds zUnited States. 1 aUnited States. bSecurities and Exchange Commission. 7 uhttp://www.sec.gov/consumer/inwsmf.htm 2http a000103 01215nam 2200325 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035010002300076020001500099035001500114037002500129040001800154049000900172074002300181086001700204099002000221245006100241260012500302300004000427500008400467504004100551530005600592650003700648650002600685700003100711710007600742856006000818949001100878 tmp96289004 OCoLC 19961122154632.0 961227s1996 dcuab f000 0 eng a 96019688 //r96 a0160487528 a1254-32860 a008-020-01406-1 bGPO dGPO dDLC dMvI aVPII a0378-H-01 (online) 0 aD 5.402:P 87 aDocs D5.402:P87 00 a2015, power and progress / cedited by Patrick M.

The problem addressed is an indispensable part of designing the operation of Ursula, an underwater mobile robot, and involves finding its location as it moves along the circumference of a nuclear reactor vessel. The study has been conducted with an intent to aid a laser based global positioning system to make this determination. The physical nature of this problem enables it to be conceptualized as a position and orientation determination problem. Ursula tests the weldments in a reactor vessel, and its position and orientation needs to be found continuously in real-time. The kinematic errors in the setup and the use of a laser based positioning system distinguish this from traditional position and orientation determination problems.

The program has been distributed to over 13,000 schools across the United States. The creators of P.E.TV have stated that the program to influence adolescents' attitudes toward physical activity, and to encourage wellness. Reports from a national survey of educators have shown that teachers believe that their students' attitudes are being affected by the program. This experimental study examined if that is the case for 7th graders in a rural Southwestern Virginia Junion High School. Four intact 7th grade physical education/health classes were selected for the study. The students were randomly assigned to the classes by school administrators. The classes were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The treatment group (two 7th grade classes) viewed 10 P.E.TV shows over a period of 9 weeks. The same teacher taught all four classes. All participating students filled out a questionnaire consisting of the "Weekly Activity Checklist" and a television cultivation exposure questionnaire, at the beginning of the 9 weeks to determine their activity levels and viewing habits before the experiment. Students were categorized into groups based on activity levels and viewing habits before the experiment. Students were categorized into groups based on activity level, amount of television normally viewed, and predominant type of television show viewed to allow for attribute-treatment-interaction analysis. A post-test only design was used to find out if P.E.TV influenced the students' attitudes toward physical activity. The Children's Attitudes Toward Physical Activity scale was used to assess the students' attitudes. a[continued] Three hypotheses were tested using a one-way Analysis of Variance for each. Level of significance were set at .05. The analysis indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in attitudes twoard physical activity between treatment and control groups as well as no statistically significant differences within the treatment groups concerning attribute-treatment-interactions. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. atelevision aattitudes acultivation theory aphysical activity 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-283213359611541 2http 02153nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003600120100002600156245014000182256004300322260008300365440004800448500004300496500001000539502007800549504004100627520094300668538009401611538004301705653004501748856007001793 ocm35020967 960722 OCoLC 19960702154619.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-38560 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 O'Connor 1 aO'Connor, R.

The use of these devices in multi-FPGA Custom Computing Machines (CCMs) has provided the potential to execute large sections of programs entirely in custom hardware which can provide a substantial speedup over execution in a general-purpose sequential processor. Unfortunately, the development tools currently available for CCMs do not allow users to easily configure multi-FPGA platforms. In order to exploit the capabilities of such an architecture, a procedure has been developed to perform a dataflow analysis of programs written in C which is capable of several hardware-specific optimizations. This, together with other software tools developed for this purpose, allows CCMs and their host processors to be targeted from the same high-level specification. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aCCM aco-design acompiler adataflow aFPGA 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-382215659641571 2http 01291nam 2200337 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002500091043001200116049000900128074000900137074001800146086001600164099001900180110003000199245015500229246006200384260013800446300003300584500003400617500001600651504004100667530005600708610002900764710004700793710005600840856004600896949001100942 tmp96178015 OCoLC 19960719145833.0 960816s1996 vaua b f000 0 eng d a1238-16560 aDGPO cDGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0621 a0621 (online) 0 aI 19.2:ST 8 aDocs I19.2:ST8 2 aGeological Survey (U.S.). 10 aStrategic plan for the U.S. Geological Survey, 1996 to 2005 / cprepared by the Policy Council and the Strategic Planning Team, U.S. Geological Survey. 3 aStrategic plan for the US Geological Survey, 1996 to 2005 aReston, VA (107 National Center, Reston 22092) : bU.S. Dept. of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, Office of the Director, c[1996] axii, 52 p. : bill. ; c28 cm. aShipping list no.: 96-0276-P. a"May 1996." aIncludes bibliographical references. aAlso available via Internet from the USGS web site. 20 aGeological Survey (U.S.) 2 aGeological Survey (U.S.). bPolicy Council. 2 aGeological Survey (U.S.). bStrategic Planning Team. 7 uhttp://online.wr.usgs.gov/stratplan 2http a000103 01994cmm 2200397Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098043001200111049000900123074002000132086001300152099001600165110003000181245006700211256001800278260004400296265014700340490006800487500006200555500007000617500015700687500004800844500005300892520019400945538013001139650005001269650005401319651006201373710004801435740002601483856002401509856006301533 ocm30576124 961002 OCoLC 19960930094957.0 960930m19949999dcu g d f eng a1249-76760 aGPO cGPO an-us--- aVPII a0994-D (online) 0 aX 1.1/A: aDocs X1.1/A 1 aUnited States. bCongress. 10 a[Congressional record online via GPO access] h[computer file]. aComputer data aWashington, D.C. : bU.S. G.P.O., c1994- ae-mail help@eids05.eids.gpo.gov ; Office of Electronic Information Dissemination Services, Mail Stop SDE, U.S. G.P.O., Washington, D.C. 20401. 0 a[GPO access : a service of the U.S. Government Printing Office] aU.S. Federal GILS record title: The Congressional Record. aIndex updated biweekly as often as published, index covers 1992-. aMode of access: via INTERNET using WAIS client software; SWAIS access by telnet to wais.access.gpo.gov or via asynchronous connection to (202) 512-1161. aCR begins with 103rd Congress, 2nd session. aACSII text files; CR has graphics as TIFF files. aProceedings of the House and Senate, Extensions of remarks, and the Daily Digest.

Advocates of hypermedia point to learner control, multimedia capability, and parallels to theories of human memory as evidence for educational hypermedia's efficacy. While intuitively appealing, empirical research has not confirmed (or rejected) this assumption. Nor is there compelling evidence to suggest that learners who posses different cognitive styles benefit equally from educational hypermedia environments. This study reports on an examination of cognitive style field dependence/independence and learner presentation mode within an educational hypermedia environment. Participants were 122 high school juniors and seniors enrolled in classes whose curricula dealt with the political process. The experimental sites were three high schools located in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Learners classified as field dependent and field independent were asked to explore a commercial hypermedia program concerning the presidential primary election process. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two versions of the program, a control group which utilized the commercially designed multimedia presentations and a treatment group that offered the choice of single-channel presentations in addition to the multiple-channel presentations. After interacting with the program participants completed a ten item post test consisting of five recall and five problem-solving questions. Their actions within the hypermedia environment were automatically tracked by the computer. Data analysis consisted of a 3x2 ANOVA to examine interaction between field dependency and learner control of presentation mode as measured by the post test. a(continued) Field dependency was correlated with frequency oultiple-channel selections. A secondary analysis examined main effects and interactions on the recall and problem-solving questions separately utilizing a 3x2 ANOVA. Data analysis revealed no correlation between field dependency and frequency of multimedia selections. The study found no significant interatcion between field dependency and control (program or learner) of presentation mode as measured by the ten item post test. Separate analysis of the recall and problem-solving questions also revealed no significant interaction. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ahypermedia acognitive style amultiple-channel communication alearner control 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-3132141279612241/etd-title.html 2http 01396cas 2200349 a 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042010001700083035001500100037009200115040001800207042000800225043001200233049000900245074001400254074002300268086002000291099002200311245007600333246004500409260010200454300003000556500003900586530005600625650005600681650007600737650007600813710006800889856007800957949001101035 ocm35231953 970610 OCoLC 19961003200147.0 961003c199u9999dcuuu r f0 0eng d asn 96028102 a1250-88360 bNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 7th St., S.W., Washington, DC 20590 aGPO cGPO dVPI alcd an-us--- aVPII a0982-D-01 a0982-D-01 (online) 0 aTD 8.2:T 67/16/ aDocs TD8.2:T67/16 02 aA compendium of innovative state and community traffic safety projects. 1 iAt head of title: aTraffic safety digest aWashington, D.C. : bU.S. Dept. of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, av.

The wind loads experienced by smoke stacks arise from various phenomenon, the most prominent of which are static drag load, vortex shedding, and atmospheric turbulence. The nature of these loading sources around a cylinder are studied in detail. Both static and dynamic loads are capable of producing large tip deflections, and are of the most prominent design criteria for stack designers. A computer program, STACK1, has been created by modifying an existing analysis code, BEAM8, to be used specifically for stack analysis. This analysis code utilizes the transfer matrix method to perform detailed bending and vibration analyses. This new software has been developed to check stack designs for compliance with appropriate steel stack standards, and provide the designer with information regarding the static and dynamic response of the structure. A detailed analysis is performed to demonstrate the validity of approximating a tapered Timoshenko beam with a series of continuous, constant cross-section beams. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. astack atransfer matrix avibration atapered beam avortex shedding 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5024212489622671 2http 01325nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004400120100003400164245018300198256004400381260010600425440005000531500004300581500001000624500001400634502008000648504004100728538006800769538004300837653008400880856007100964 ocm35105949 960719 OCoLC 19960718132043.0 960718s1996 vau d s eng a1239-40860 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Villeneuve 1 aVilleneuve, Pierre V., d1968- 12 aA numerical study of the sensitivity of cloudy-scene bidirectional reflectivity distribution functions to variations in cloud parameters h[computer file] / cPierre V.

A circumferential V-notch located at the outer surface of the center of the tube provides a stress concentration. The material is modeled as strain hardening, strain-rate hardening and thermal softening. The dynamic loading conditions considered are pure torsion, axial pressure combined with torsion, and internal pressure combined with torsion. Because of the stress concentration, a shear band will first initiate in an element adjoining the notch tip and propagate radially inwards through the thickness of the tube. The speed of propagation and the amount of energy required to drive a shear band through the material are calculated. The effects of the pressure preload and the depth of the notch are studied. Also, the influence of thermal softening is investigated by modeling it after a relation proposed by Zhou et al. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aadiabatic shear band ahigh strain rate athick walled cylinde
