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 cylinder aDYNA3D 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5958212489622671 2http 03385nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003900120100003000159245012600189256004400315260010600359440005700465500004300522500001000565502008000575504004100655520179100696520033202487538006802819538004302887653006702930856008602997 ocm35329828 961002 OCoLC 19960830164958.0 960830s1996 vau d s eng a1245-71860 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Clark 1 aClark, Richard L., d1969- 10 aInfluence of the interphase on the mechanical properties of nylon 66 composites h[computer file] / cRichard L.

The objective was to determine how interphase morphologies affect the adhesion and properties such as damping, ultimate stress and strain, and modulus of the composite. This was accomplished using a modified fiber debond test on single filament composites, and dynamic mechanical analysis, vibrational adhesion testing, and uni-axial tension testing on bulk composite samples. Additional techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and water absorption measurements were performed to assist in data interpretation. The specific interphase that forms in both glass reinforced and high modulus carbon fiber reinforced nylon 66 is termed transcrystallinity. Previous work has shown that this region can be altered by the addition of a specific diluent, poly(vinylpyrrolidone), as either a blend to the matrix or as a fiber sizing. The diluent serves to dampen nucleation on the fiber surface thus causing the interphase to change from transcrystalline in nature to spherulitic. The changes in composite properties that the different interphases produce were examined. Results from the modified fiber debond test showed that the interfacial shear strength decreases as the interphase becomes more spherulitic. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a more cohesive fracture surface of the samples having transcrystalline interphase. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the damping behavior of E-glass/nylon 66 composites does not change with PVP sizing, while carbon fiber/nylon 66 composites showed a decrease in damping with the addition of sizing. aVibrational adhesion testing showed similar effects in the loss tangent of both composites versus fiber sizing. In addition, uni-axial tensile testing revealed an increase in the ultimate strength and toughness of both composites. On the other hand, neither the ultimate strain or modulus was a strong function of fiber sizing. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ainterphase atranscrystallinity anylon 66 aPVP aDMA amorphology 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-3023162379652351/etd-title.html 2http 01070pam 2200289 a 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042010001700083020001500100035001500115040001300130043002100143049000900164050002200173100002900195245013800224260006000362300005500422504006400477650003600541650003700577650004000614650004100654856007400695949001100769 ocm31901448 960116 OCoLC 19951219082138.0 950105s1994 nmuab b s001 0 eng a 95004331 a082631595X a1203-74060 aDLC cDLC an-us-nm an-usu-- aVPII 00 aSB407 b.M875 1994 1 aMorrow, Baker H., d1946- 10 aBest plants for New Mexico gardens and landscapes : bkeyed to cities and regions in New Mexico and adjacent areas / cBaker H.

Chapters 1 and 2 address the effect of thermal addition on the breakdown of Boxelder leaves (Acer negundo) in in-situ and artificial stream studies. In both studies the rates for the decline in penetrance values decreased significantly in the thermally influenced treatments. Reduction in mass-loss rate coefficients was significant in the in -situ study, but not in the artificial streams. This result was due to differences in flow and macroinvertebrate colonization. Chapters 3 and 4 address the development of a methodology for testing 24-48 hour old juvenile Asiatic clams (Corbicula fluminea) to sediments in 10-day bioassays. These organisms had acceptable survivorship in the controls (>70%), excellent recovery of all exposed organisms (97.5%) and were sensitive to copper-spiked sediments. Comparitive sensitivity of this age class demonstrated them to be equally or more sensitive than other commonly used sediment test organisms including Chironomus tentans, Daphnia magna and Hyalella azteca for survival and growth endpoints in 10-day exposures. Survival and growth effects for Corbicula juveniles were seen at 25 ppb copper in the sediment. aAlso available on the Internet as an electronic document.

Additionally, the model examined considered family and parental factors (family conflict, parental anxiety, parental depression, and parental somatization) as well as children's level of negative affectivity and demographic variables (age and sex). A hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the effects of each of these variables on rate of physician utilization and to control for the effects of demographic factors, parent/family variables and negative affectivity while examining childhood anxiety and depression. Results revealed that parental anxiety and depression and family conflict contribute significantly to the explanation of children's health care utilization. Additionally, child anxiety also explained number of physician visits but only when considered in the absence of child depression. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ahealth care use, anxiety, depression, negative affectivity, children 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5829155109623090 2http 01537nam 2200385 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002500091043001200116049000900128074001100137074001600148074002000164074002000184086002000204099002400224110008500248245017400333260003800507300002300545490007800568500006000646500003400706500002200740504004100762530010200803650005200905650005700957650002001014810005801034856004801092949001101140 tmp96260020 OCoLC 19970724104542.0 970813s1996 dcu b f000 0 eng d a1249-06660 aDGPO cDGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a1008-C a1008-D (MF) a1008-C (online) a1008-D (online) 0 aY 1.1/8:104-747 aDocs Y1.1/8:104-747 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. bCommittee on Government Reform and Oversight. 10 aHealth care fraud : ball public and private payers need federal criminal anti-fraud protections : eleventh report / cby the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight. aWashington : bU.S. G.P.O., c1996. av, 14 p. ; c24 cm. 1 aReport / 104th Congress, 2nd session, House of Representatives ; v104-747 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 aMedical care xCorrupt practices zUnited States. 0 aInsurance, Health xCorrupt practices zUnited States. 0 aMedicare fraud. 1 aUnited States. bCongress. bHouse. tReport ; v104-747. 7 uhttp://www.house.gov/reform/fraud.htm 2http a000103 04263nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003700120100001700157245013600174256004400310260008300354440006100437500004300498500001000541502008000551504004100631520157900672520142502251538009403676538004303770653007803813856007003891 ocm35020624 960719 OCoLC 19960702145403.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-38160 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Sun 1 aSun, Jinxia. 10 aCharacterization of organosilicone surfactants and their effects on sulfonylurea herbicide activity h[computer file] / cJinxia Sun. aComputer data (1 file : 1000 kilobytes) aBlacksburg, Va. : bVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996. 90 aVPI & SU.

The project included efficacy tests, rainfastness studies in the green house, radiotracer studies on herbicide uptake, fluorescent dye studies on surface deposition, and various measurements of physico-chemical properties. In measuring physico-chemical properties, a logistic dose response relationship was found between adjuvant concentration and contact angle on parafilm. An AsymSigR relationship existed between adjuvant concentration and surface tension for all the adjuvants. The organosilicones, Silwet L-77, Silwet 408, and Sylgard 309, and Kinetic (a blend of an organosilicone with a nonionic surfactant) gave equilibrium surface tension values around 20 dyne/cm and showed great spreading ability on the foliage of velvetleaf. With the conventional adjuvants, Agri-Dex, Methylated soybean oil, Rigo oil concentration, and X-77, and Dyne-Amic (a blend of an organosilicone with a crop oil concentrate), surface tension was rarely below 28 dyne/cm and spreading ability was limited on velvetleaf. In addition, the organosilicone surfactants and Kinetic also lowered dynamic surface tension, which may improve droplet retention on leaf surfaces. The differences in physico-chemical propertes between Kinetic and Dyne-Amic confirmed that carefully selecting a co-adjuvant for an organosilicone blend is critical to avoid antogonism with trisiloxane molecules and retain unique physico-chemical properties of organosilicone in the blends. a(continued) : Studies involving structurally-related organosilicones showed that the end structure in the trisiloxane hydrophilic group has little or no effect on surface tension, contact angle, spread pattern, herbicide uptake and translocation, and efficacy of primisulfuron on velvetleaf. It may be suggested that there is not a strict requirement to purify the end structure during the synthesis process, which is time consuming and expensive. When 14C-primisulfuron was combined with organosilicones or the blends, the uptake of 14C at 1 or 2h after herbicide application was significantly higher than when combined with conventional adjuvants in velvetleaf. In the greenhouse, organosilicone sufactants greatly increased the rainfastness of primisulfuron in velvetleaf. The effect was immediate and dramatic, even when simulated rainfall was applied 0.25h after treatment. In addition, herbicide efficacy on marginally susceptible weed species, velvetleaf and barnyardgrass, was significantly increased. A very complicated relationship exists between herbicides and adjuvants. The enhancement effects of adjuvants are often herbicide specific, weed species specific, and even environment specific. No one type of adjuvant functions well in all circumstances. Therefore, there is a need to understand the properties and functions of each class of adjuvants and locate the 'right' niche for each individual adjuvant. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aorganosilicone aadjuvant astatic surface tension adynamic surface tension 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-214813359611541 2http 01185nam 2200325 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040001800091043001200109049000900121074001100130074002000141086001700161099002100178245003000199260012500229300005100354500003400405500002500439530005600464610008000520650004300600650003500643650005000678710006700728856005300795949001100848 tmp96254060 OCoLC 19961112104459.0 961227s1996 dcuab f000 0 eng d a1249-01660 dGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0830-I a0830-I (online) 0 aNAS 1.83:220 aDocs NAS1.83:220 10 aDoing business with NASA. aWashington, DC : bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration : bFor sale by the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O., c[1996?] a96 p. : bill.

Through the process of assessment, subjects are usually given some form of feedback about their condition, if only to tell them they meet criteria to enter the study. Assessment and feedback are thought to have therapeutic effects and empirical evidence is beginning to document this (Bien, Miller, & Tonigan, 1993; Finn & Tonsager, 1992). To date, there have been no studies that investigate the effects of assessment plus feedback or assessment alone on individuals with panic attacks. This study investigated whether assessment or assessment plus feedback produced any differential effects on panic attack sufferers. a(continued) Seventy participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: 1) assessment with mailed feedback (n=17); 2) assessment with face-to-face feedback (n=14); 3) assessment with no feedback (n=19); and 4) no assessment or feedback (n=20). Assessment consisted of completing a composite self-report instrument that asks about frequency of panic attacks and panic-related symptomatology. Feedback was standardized and computer generated but individualized based on scores on the assessment measure. All groups completed the outcome measures and between group differences were examined. No statistically sgnificant differences were found between these four groups on any dependent measure. However, for a smaller subset of participants (N=35) who had at least one full panic attack at pre-assessment, a significant reduction in frequency of combined (full plus limited-symptom) panic attacks was seen pre to post, F(1,32)=7.47, p<.01, with a marginally significant two-way interaction of time and condition, F(2,32)=3.12, p<.06. Basically, both feedback groups showed a reduction in panic attacks while the assessment only condition remained the same. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. apanic attacks aself-help aassessment afeedback 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-455010359611541 2http 01976cms 22004097a 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025006001900042007000700061008004100068035001500109040001800124043001200142049000900154074002000163086002200183099002500205245004500230246003600275246002500311246002400336260004500360310001100405362001300416500013800429500004800567516003800615520018800653538006500841580014100906650006801047651006801115710004801183787010501231856016701336856006301503 ocm32074832 961002 OCoLC 19960930090916.0 sar f0 0 c||||| 960930 19949999dcu f eng d a1249-92160 aGPO cGPO dOCL an-us--- aVPII a0554-A (online) 0 aGP 3.35:GOVMANUL/ aDocs GP3.35 GOVMANUL 00 aU.S. government manual h[computer file]. 2 aUnited States government manual 3 aUS government manual 1 iLIB name: aGOVMANUL a[Washington, D.C. : bU.S. G.P.O., c1993- aAnnual 0 a1993/94- aMode of access: via INTERNET, telnet to fedbbs.access.gpo.gov 3001.

Numerical models have been developed to characterize the optical/thermal-radiative behavior, the dynamic electrothermal response and the structural thermal transients of radiometric channels. These models, applied to a satellite-borne scanning radiometer, are used to determine the instrument point spread function and the potential for optical and termal-radiative contamination of the signal due to out-of-field radiation and emission from the radiometer structure. The capabilities of the model are demonstrated by scanning realistic Earth scenes. In addition, the optical/thermal-radiative model is used for the development of an infrared field radiometer to interpret results from the experimental characterization of the instrument. The model allowed the sensitivity of the instrument response to assembly uncertainties to be determined. Data processing consists of converting radiometric data into estimates of the flux at the top of the atmosphere. Primary error sources are associated with the procedures used to compensate for unsampled data. The time interpolation algorithm applied to a limited number of observations can produce significantly biased estimates of monthly mean fluxes. A diurnal interpolation protocol using correlative ISSCP cloudiness data is developed to compensate for sparse temporal sampling of Earth radiation budget data. The bias is shown to be significantly reduced in regions where the variability of the cloud cover is well accounted for by ISCCP data. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aEarth radiation budget aremote sensing aMonte-Carlo ray trace atemporal sampling aERBE and ISCCP Data 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-165711489632471 2http 01407cam 2200373Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001800098043002100116049000900137074001400146074002300160086001500183099001900198100002900217245011100246246003400357246005300391260010500444300001900549440003000568500001900598500003400617500001900651530009200670610003000762650003800792651005300830710007600883856006300959949001101022 ocm33146147 961030 OCoLC 19961030141046.0 961030s1995 dcu f000 0 eng d a1253-88160 aGPO cGPO dVPI an-us--- aar----- aVPII a0378-H-12 a0378-H-12 (online) 0 aD 5.417:40 aDocs D5.417:40 1 aClawson, Patrick, d1951- 10 aU.S.-GCC security relations, II : bgrowing domestic economic and political problems / cby Patrick Clawson. 2 aUS GCC security relations, II 30 aGrowing domestic economic and political problems a[Washington, D.C.] : bInstitute for National Strategic Studies, National Defense University, c[1995] a4 p. ; c28 cm. 0 aStrategic forum ; vno. 40 aCaption title. aShipping list no.: 95-0299-P. a"August 1995." aAlso available via Internet from the Institute for National Strategic Studies web site. 20 aGulf Cooperation Council. 0 aNational security zUnited States. 0 aPersian Gulf Region xForeign economic relations. 2 aNational Defense University. bInstitute for National Strategic Studies. 7 uhttp://www.ndu.edu:80/ndu/inss/strforum/forum40.html 2http a000103 01772cas 2200397 4500001001900000008004100019010001700060012003300077022001400110030001100124035001500135040002800150042001300178049000900191090001500200210001900215222003400234245003500268246004100303260005800344265007300402300003200475350004000507362002400547500009500571580016400666580013400830650003400964650002500998710004601023710008301069780006001152787009201212856005301304949001701357 ocm02239834 960506 821220c19739999nyuqr1p 0uuua0eng a 74644131 a4 b3 c- d7 en f- gp h- i---- 0 a0098-2202 aJFEGA4 a0268-25360 aDLC cDLC dNSD dDLC dVPI alc ansdp aVPI$ aTA349 b.J6 0 aJ. fluids eng. 00 aJournal of fluids engineering 00 aJournal of fluids engineering. 00 aTransactions of the ASME. dSeries I. 01 a[New York] bAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers. aASME, United Engineering Center, 345 E. 47th St., New York, NY 10017 av. bill. c29 cm. quarterly. a$15.00 (member) a$30.00 (nonmember) 0 av. 95- Mar. 1973- aCalled also: American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

The mateial phases investigated were morphous titania, anatase TiO2, and rutile TiO2. Annealing-iduced phase transformations from morphous TiO2 to anatase to rutile were studied by Raman scatering, infrared reflectivity, infrared bsorption, x-ray diffraction, and electron energy-loss spectoscopy (EELS). Detailed experiments ere carried out on the effects of annealing on the Raman andinfrared spectra of anatase nanocrystals. The frequencies of the zone-center transverse ptical (TO) and longitudinal-optical s of anatase were determined and were used in analyzing the esults obtained on annealed sol- gel particles The TO and LO frequencies of antase were polarization-dependent far-infrared reflectivity measuremen single crystals. aThese dielectric functions of anatase, were used to explain infraed (IR) itania nanoparticles pressed into pellets, as well as the grzing-incidence IR eflectivity observed for titania thin films. Because of the titania surface roughness of the pressed pellets, and the island-stucture character of the hin films, effective-medium theories (appropriate for compostes) were used, along with the anatase ielectric functions, to interpret the experimental results. he titania nanoparticles were prepared by he hydrolysis/condensation of Ti(OC2H5)4. A polymeric stericstabilizer was used in the sol-gel ynthesis in order to prevent continued agglomeration during he condensation process. This yielded articles with a relatively narrow size distribution. The amont of water used in the reaction etermines the final particle size. aParticles as small as 80 nm and as large as 300 nm were usedthroughout this work. From the colloidal suspension, loose pwders, pressed pellets, and thin films ere formed. These samples were subjected to different annealng processes at temperatures anging from room temperature up to 1000 C. Two different annaling atmospheres were used: air oxygen-containing) and argon (no oxygen). The amorphous to aatase transformation was followed y in-situ IR transmission measurements carried out during anealing. The particles as prepared are morphous and the anatase phase could be detected, using thissensitive IR technique, at ratures as low as 150 C. This phase transition was shown to e particle size dependent. It was that introducing the stabilizer by means of the alkoxide flsk instead of the water flask sol-gel synthesis) decreases the anatase to rutile transformtion temperature. aLoose und to transform more readily than dense pellets, while islad-structure films were ound to be the hardest to transform. Even at 1000 C, most ofthese films did not transform to rutile. -ray diffraction experiments were used to determine nanocrysal sizes in anatase samples obtained y air and argon anneals at temperatures from 300 to 800 C. Acorrelation was found between aman band shape (peak position and linewidth) and crystallit size, but this correlation was ifferent for air anneals and for argon anneals. These experients called for an interpretation based n a stoichiometric effect rather than a finite size effect. ased on this interpretation, the as-prepared articles are slightly oxygen-deficient, with a stoichiometrycorresponding to TiO1.98. In the lectron energy-loss experiments, a special data-analysis tecnique was used to extract the EELS pectrum of the titania nanoparticles from the observed substate-plus-particles signal. This echnique successfully resolved the titania absorption-edge pak. Which was found to be momentum ndependent.

Response surface methodology is used to fit a quadratic polynomial to data gathered from a series of structural optimizations. Several techniques are employed in order to minimize the number of required structural optimizations and to maintain accuracy. First, another weight function based on statistical data is used to identify a suitable model function for the response surface. In a similar manner, geometric and loading parameters that are likely to appear in the response surface model are also identified. Next, rudimentary analysis techniques are used to find regions of the design space where reasonable HSCT designs could occur. The use of intervening variable along with analysis of variance reduce the number of polynomial terms in the response surface model function. Structural optimization is then performed by the program GENESIS on a 28-node Intel Paragon. Finally, optimizations of the HSCT are completed both with and without the response surface. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. areasonable design space aRSG aJMP format 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-214213359611541 2http 01393nas 2200337Ia 4500001001900000008004100019035001500060040001300075041001100088043001200099049003800111090001400149245010800163246000800271246000800279246004000287260006200327310001400389362003200403500007800435550007400513590012400587650003200711650003600743650003600779710003800815710005700853856004600910856004600956856005301002 ocm23849985 970709 910530c19909999cn x ^ 0uuu 0eng d a0957-18160 aVPI cVPI 1 aengfre an-cn--- a[Ref] VPI$ [Elec-] [tronic] [Ref] aP87 b.E43 00 aElectronic journal of communication : bEJC = Revue electronique de communication : REC h[computer file] 11 aREC 11 aEJC 11 aRevue electronique de communication 00 aTroy, N.Y. : bComserve at Rensselaer Polytechnic , c1990- aIrregular 0 aVol. 1, no. 1 (Sept. 1990)- aTitle from Bitnet files: EJCREC Directory and EJCTOC [table of contents]. 0 aCopyright by the Communication Institute for Online Scholarship, Inc. aThis electronic journal is available for viewing on the University's INFO system on VTVM1.

Whole language methods advocated in second langage instruction incorporate observational learning strategies--strategies which are inherent in the Native American home, but often ignored in school. Instructional technology provides a mechanism for the development of curriculum materials which reflect appropriate instructional techniques. A template with embedded whole language methods to address culturally-specific learning strategies was created through the use of hypermedia. The design, development, and implementation of the project template is detailed. The thematic content framework of the template is local legends about the origins of celestial elements. A sample product using the Cherokee language was created from the template and pilot tested on a reservation in North Carolina.

We explore techniques for restoring a sampled halftone image with a moire pattern and techniques for preventing a moire pattern. We observe and explain the half period phase reversal phenomenon that a moire pattern may exhibit. As a case study, we examine the moire patterns generated by a commercial scanner. We propose three restoration methods, including a notch filtering method, a simulation method, and a relaxation method. We also describe a moire prevention method, the partial inverse Fourier transform method. Finally, we propose a research agenda for further investigation. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. amoire pattern ahalftone ascanning aimage processing aFourier analysis 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-158151259631631 2http 01094nam 2200265Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111090002100120110006500141245022000206246002700426260004000453300004500493500006900538504004100607538004800648650003800696710005000734856003300784949001100817 ocm32993608 950816 OCoLC 19950816122542.0 950816s1995 vaua b s000 0 eng d a1172-92260 aVPI cVPI aVPII aT58.5 b.V57 1995 1 aVirginia. bInformation Technology Infrastructure Task Force. 10 aRoadmap to the future : ba strategic plan for Virginia's information technology infrastructure / cdeveloped by the Virginia Information Technology Infrastructure Task Force for the Council on Information Management. 30 aRoad map to the future aRichmond, VA : bThe Council, c1995. a1 v.

This future scenario was based on past developments within the computing industry. The continued miniaturization of semiconductor components was discussed based on observed trends for transistors. The physical limitations for transistor devices were also addressed. The use of x-ray lithography for the construction of devices on a "nano-scale" was considered. Next, cost trends within the microelectronics industry were explored. Although the cost per transistor has been observed to decrease, total equipment costs and facilities costs were observed to rise. Trend extrapolation was next used to predict the future cost per transistor and the number of transistors per chip. By taking the product of these two predicted quantities, an equation for the future manufacturing cost per chip was determined. A parametric cost estimation model (VHSICModel) for the prediction of avionics computer system costs was modified to reflect the future performance parameters ofnanoelectronics. Using data from the x86 design of Intel Microprocessor Chips, undetermined parameters of the Modified VHSIC Model were calculated. Next, future performance parameters were used in the model to predict the initial selling price of future chips. The resulting predictions from this model indicated that chip prices were expected to increase while the price per electronic function will decrease. Finally, profit-time models for semiconductor chips and transistors were used to predict the future profit for a chip or transistor. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. asemiconductor economics atrend extrapolation ananoelectronics atechnology forecasting ananotechnology aparametric cost models 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-154317559631561 2http 03003nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004000120100004400160245012400204256004400328260008200372440004900454500004300503500001000546502008000556504004100636520175500677538009402432538004302526653007402569856007002643 ocm35016080 960717 OCoLC 19960702083952.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-36360 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1995 Bruner 1 aBruner, Christopher William Stuteville. 10 aParallelization of the Euler equations on unstructured grids h[computer file] / cChristopher William Stuteville Bruner. aComputer data (1 file : 3000 kilobytes) aBlacksburg, Va. : Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996. 90 aVPI & SU.

A finite-volume formulation is used for the spatial discretization of the physical domain. Both two- and three-dimensional test cases are evaluated against five reference solutions to demonstrate accuracy of the fundamental sequential algorithms. Different schemes for communicating or approximating data that are not available on the local compute node are discussed and it is shown that complete sharing of the evolving solution of the inner matrix problem at every iteration is faster than the other schemes considered. Speedup and efficiency issues pertaining to the various time-integration algorithms are then addressed for each system. Of the algorithms considered, Symmetric Block Gauss-Seidel has the overall best performance. It is also demonstrated that using parallel efficiency as the sole means of evaluating performance of an algorithm often leads to erroneous conclusios; the clock time needed to solve a problem is a much better indicator of algorithm performance. A general method for extending one-dimensional limiter formulations to the unstructred case is also discussed and applied to Van Albada's limiter as well as Roe's Superbee limiter. Solutions and convergence histories for a two-dimensional supersonic ramp problem using these limiters are presented along with computations using the limiters of Barth & Jesperson and Venkatakrishnan--the Van Albada limiter has performance similar to Venkatakrishnan's. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. acomputational fluid dynamics aparallel algorithms aunstructured grids 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-314610359611541 2http 01579nam 2200361 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002800091043001200119049000900131074001400140074002300154086001600177099001900193245006000212246004000272260008900312300004300401500019700444500003400641500002200675504004100697530007300738650007600811650005300887650004100940710007500981710006601056856008401122949001101206 tmp96303907 OCoLC 19961220141010.0 970129s1996 dcua b f000 0 eng d a1258-08260 dGPO dCUM dGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0718-A-05 a0718-A-05 (online) 0 aJ 32.2:SA 1 aDocs J32.2:SA1 00 aCreating safe and drug-free schools : ban action guide. 2 aCreating safe and drug free schools a[Washington, D.C.? : bOffice of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, c1996?] a1 v.

In this thesis, we investigate the performance of a wireless local loop (WLL) system that uses the frequency modulation with the CDMA technique. The performance of the FM CDMA system is affected by the choice of the frequency demodulation method. Performance of different state-of-art DSP based fm demodulators is evcaluated. Design improvements with threshold extension, pre-deemphasis, and voice companding techniques are explored, and the limitations of the DSP based FM demodulation methods are identified. The transmitter, the channel, and the receiver of the FM CDMA system are simulated for particular values of FM bandwidth and spread-spectrum precessing gain. The capacity supported by the FM CDMA system is estimated with different levels of orthogonal as well as non-orthognal multiple access interference. The performance iof the FM CDMA system in AWGN, multipath fading, Doppler sprad, and nonlinear signal processing effects is predicted. A power control algorithm for the FM CDMA system is proposed, and its effect on the system performance is studied. The capacity of the FM based wireless system may saturate as the system evolves. An adaptive FM CDMA interference cancelation tchnique and a digital modulation with CDMA are two approaches investigated as ways to improve system capacity. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aspread spectrum 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5048131259631631 2http 01262nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003800120100002400158245012700182256004400309260010600353440003700459500004300496500001000539500001400549502007800563504004100641538006800682538004300750653011000793856006900903 ocm35232089 960813 OCoLC 19960813121631.0 960813s1996 vau d s eng a1243-02860 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 Battermann 1 aBattermann, Astrid. 10 aPreconditioning of Karush--Kuhn--Tucker systems arising in optimal control problems h[computer file] / cAstrid Battermann. aComputer data (1 file : 1000 kilobytes) a[Blacksburg, Va. : bUniversity Libraries, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996] 90 aVPI & SU.

In this work, an [sic] number of approaches to estimating the stress states and interactions are developed. First, an elasticity solution is presented for the problem of a penny-shaped crack in an N-phase composite material system opened by a prescribed normal pressure. The stress state around such a crack is then used to estimate the stress concentrations due to adjacent fiber fractures in a [sic] composite materials. The resulting stress concentrations are then used to estimate the tensile strength of the composite. The predicted results are compared with experimental values. aIn addition, a cumulative damage model for fatigue is presented. Modifications to the model are made to include the effects of variable amplitude loading. These modifications are based upon the use of remaining strength as a damage metric and the definition of an equivalent generalized time. The model is initially validated using results from the literature. Also, experimental data from APC-2 laminates the IM7/K3B laminates are used in the model. The use of such data for notched laminates requires the use of an effective hole size, which is calculated based upon strain distribution measurements. Measured remaining strengths after fatigue loading are compared with the predicted values for specimens fatigued at room temperature and 350 [degree Fahrenheit] (177 [degree Centigrade)]. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. adurability adamage tolerance amicromechanical models afatigue alife prediction astrength prediction 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-5155161059611611 2http 00983 km 2200181 a 4500008004100000035001500041090003000056110005100086245009200137256001900229260006400248300004100312500003300353500010500386520014700491520002900638590013400667 940419s1994 vau 0 eng d a1083-97460 ax test digital database 2 1 aNorfolk and Western Railway Company h[picture] 10 aNorfolk and Western pphotographs of locomotives, engines, cars, and cabooses h[picture] aImage database aBlacksburg, Va. : bScholarly Communications Project, c1994. a30,000 photographs : bcol. and b&w ; aTitle supplied by cataloger. aPhoto CD-ROM prepared by Photographic Services, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. ahttp://borg.lib.vt.edu/testdata/testimages.html hMosaic nVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University oUnix s[file size] 2Worldwide Web a[what, where, when, why] aPhotographs of the Norfolk & Western will soon be available as digital images in the Special Collections Dept. of Newman Library. 01786nmm 2200313Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003900120100002300159245015000182256004300332260010600375440003500481500004300516500001000559500001400569502008300583504004100666520051200707538006801219538004301287653006001330856007001390948001201460 ocm35231761 961005 OCoLC 19960813114118.0 960813s1996 vau d s eng a1243-02560 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Major Paper 1996 Fowler 1 aFowler, Christian. 10 aSynthesis fundamentals seminar h[computer file] : btesting the Instructional Project Development and Management (IPDM) model / cChristian Fowler. aComputer data (1 file : 168 kilobytes) a[Blacksburg, Va. : bUniversity Libraries, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996] 90 aVPI & SU.

Legal technologies, including statutes, regulations, and lawsuits, have become significant participants in United States environmental policy. That policy developed during the twentieth century in response to contrasting concerns about nature (development of natural resources vs. protection of native species and wilderness), along with growing concern about urban environmental issues (such as air and water quality), and waste disposal). The environmental movement that began after World War II gained power with provisions incorporated into 1970s environmental legislation allowing citizens to sue polluting industries and corporations. Opposition to environmentalism developed in the 1980s, as wise use and property rights movements seeking to expand development of natural resources, and an environmental justice movement concerned with issues and constituencies not addressed by mainstream environmental organizations. As a result of that opposition, the environmental movement in the United States has strengthened, and broadened both the memberships in varied organizations and the range of issues addressed. A case study of the Bronx Community Paper Company provides an example of the current state of environmental law and policy in the United States, and the limited ability of legal technologies to resolve increasingly complex environmental controversies. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. aenvironmental law asocial technology acontroversy studies aactor-network atechnology transfer 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-4924178109653120 2http 03094nam 2200301Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111090002700120100003200147245017000179260001000349300003000359500001000389502011800399504003400517520179000551530008002341590012202421650006602543650006902609650002902678856006802707949001702775 ocm31213062 960401 OCoLC 19941003153256.0 941003s1994 xx a b 000 0 eng d a1118-30260 aVPI cVPI aVPII aLD5655.V856 b1994.C555 1 aChildress, Vincent William. 14 aThe effects of technology education, science, and mathematics integration upon eighth grader's technological problem-solving ability / cby Vincent William Childress. c1994. axiv, 265 leaves ; c29 cm. aVita. aThesis (Ph. D. in Vocational and Technical Education)--Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1994. aBibliography: leaves 201-232. aThis study investigates the effects of technology education, science, and mathematics (TSM) curriculum of eighth grade tintegration on the technological problem-solving ability of eighth grade technology education students. The researcher used a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design to compare the performance of students receiving correlated TSM integration to those not receiving integration in an adapted Technology, Science, Mathematics Integration Project Activity (LaPorte & Sanders, 1993). The students were to design, construct, and evaluate wind collectors to generate electricity. The collectors were mounted on a generator for the pretest and posttest measurements. The measure for treatment effect was the output wattage of the generator for each student's wind collector. The samples were drawn from middle schools that had two technology education teachers in the same school, each teaching eighth graders. The pilot study sample (N = 50) was selected from a middle school in rural south-central Virginia. The study sample (N = 33) was selected from a middle school in a suburb of Richmond, Virginia. The treatment group technology education teachers employed technological problem solving, and they correlated instruction of key concepts with science and mathematics teachers using the adapted TSM Integration Activity.

Additionally, less than 0.5 percent of corporate hospitality managers were women. Given this relative underrepresentation of European-American women and African-Americans, combined with the increasing diversity of hotel clientele and service providers, the purpose of this study is to broaden our understanding of the source of inequitable occupational outcomes among race-gender groups in hotel management. Two research questions are addressed (1) How are hotel management careers racilized and gendered?; and (2) How are the career experiences of African-American women who are hotel managers different from those of European-American women who are managers? A grounded hermeneutic research approach of joint collection, analysis, and contextualized interpretation of data was used. The data were collected using semistructured interviews with ten African-American women and five European-American women who are hotel managers. The constant comparative method of analysis yielded 58 critical difference defining incidents in which the women's race and gender influenced their career experiences. Further analysis of these incidents yielded four conceptual categories: career stages, relationships, power resources, and human resource management practices. a[cont.] The women's careers were racialized and gendered through (1) their relationships to European-American men, whic h (2) provided the women with different resources at each stage of their careers and (3) influenced the way their superiors, who were predominantly European-American men, applied human resource practices. The differences in the career experiences of the women who participated in this study were largly a result of their different positions in relation to European-American men. These relationships to European-American men were significant as the women described these men as "having an inborn advantage in this industry" and as "running things." In the final chapter, I suggest actions hospitality practitioners, educators, and researchers can take to address seveal factors identified as contributing to the creation of inequitable career outcomes. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ahotel amanager acareer arace agender 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-195610359611541 2http 03958nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003900120100002500159245010900184256004400293260010600337440003700443500004300480500001000523502008000533504004100613520177500654520099702429538006803426538004303494653004903537856007003586 ocm35580277 961002 OCoLC 19960918144832.0 960918s1996 vau d s eng a1248-19260 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Huang 1 aHuang, Jimin, d1961- 10 aCharacterization of electrochemical interfaces by infrared spectroscopy h[computer file] / cJimin Huang. aComputer data (1 file : 1000 kilobytes) a[Blacksburg, Va. : bUniversity Libraries, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, c1996] 90 aVPI & SU.

Potential difference infrared spectroscopy (PDIRS) was used in the investigation of carbon monoxide adsorbed on polycrystalline platinum electrodes. It is found that the infrared peak position of adsorbed carbon monoxide is linearly dependent on the applied electrode potential, and that the Stark tuning rate is a function of system temperature. The change in Stark tuning rate is the result of the variation of the interfacial dielectric constant with temperature. Self-assembled alkoxyalkanethiol monolayers were formed on gold substrates as surface modifiers of low dielectric constant designed to influence the interfacial capacitance. Polarization modulation infrared spectroscopy (PMIRS), ellipsometry, interfacial wetting, and cyclic voltammetry were conducted to characterize the modified interfaces. The interfacial capacitance is greatly reduced due to the adsorption of w-mercapto ethers on substrates. It was found that the solvation of the monolayer by solution is capable of improving the mass transport to maintain the Faradaic current while lowering the interfacial capacitance. The oxygen group in w-mercapto ethers at the monolayer-water interface interacts with water molecules to improve the monolayer solubility in water. The w-mercapto ether monolayers were found to be fluid-like in structure, giving better freedom to undergo structural change. The repulsion from the oxygen atoms in adjacent w-mercapto ether molecules adsorbed on the substrate introduces structural disorder to the alkyl chains in the monolayer, allowing better solvent permeation. This relieves some of the current blocking character of long chain alkanethiol monolayers. a(continued) The interfacial contact angle to water for the w-mercapto ether monolayers is dependent on the oxygen position in the monolayer. 12-Methoxydodecanethiol has the lowest contact angle among all the w-mercapto ethers studied while 12-butoxydodecanethiol through 12-hexoxydodecanethiol have similar contact angles due to the ether oxygen being buried beneath several layers of methylene groups. The film thickness is roughly proportional to the total number of methylene groups in the two alkyl chains on w-mercapto ethers. w-Mercapto ethers that have a longer alkyl chain between the oxygen and thiol tend to form thicker monolayers on the substrates. In situ PMIRS measurments show that w-mercapto ether monolayers do not undergo structural change in the alkyl chains when in contact with either water or acetonitrile. The terminal methyl group, however, suffers from a shift in infrared peak position to lower frequency, and a decrease in peak height as the result of solvent load. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. ainfrared amonolayer adouble layer athiol aCO 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-152491789622601 2http 02584nmm 2200289Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099003900120100002500159245013300184256004400317260001000361440004200371500004300413500001000456502007800466504004100544520147100585538009402056538004302150653003102193856007002224 ocm35025475 960729 OCoLC 19960703111233.0 960703s1996 vau d eng a1237-47260 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Thesis 1996 Batongbacal 1 aBatongbacal, Alan L. 12 aA user-extensible architecture for visualization and analysis of time-series trace data h[computer file] / cAlan L.

Chitra95 is based upon two earlier generations of Chitra and is aimed at producing a system with broad applicability and utility in this area of research. This thesis contributes to the area of software design for trace visualization and analysis by proposing a set of design principles towards achieving the goals of system extensibility, reusability, reliability, testability and verifiability. These deisgn prinicples are demonstrated by Chitra95, a software architecture posed in this thesis for visualization and analysis of time-series trace data. This architecture is novel in its combination of independence from problem domain semantics; optimization for user-extensibility and code reusability; freedom from any specific user interface model; ability to simultaneously produce an integrated application and a reusable toolkit of parts that may either be customized into a turnkey system or integrated into another software systems; support for enhanced reliability, testability and verifiability; and support for an interface to the World Wide Web and for remote execution. Finally, this thesis makes the specific contributions of a data structure for representing large traces that permits the maintenance of multiple versions of a trace and retains the ability to undo modifications made to a trace. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. atime-series avisualization 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-310141259631631 2http 01468nam 2200349 a 4500001001200000003000600012005001700018008004100035035001500076040002300091043001200114049000900126074001100135086002500146099002800171245013700199246011100336246008700447246005600534246005900590260007100649300004100720490001500761500003500776500002000811610007300831650006300904650004500967710005101012830004401063949001101107 tmp96296084 OCoLC 19970103160301.0 970217s1996 dcu f000 0 eng d a1254-74360 aGPO cGPO dDLC dMvI an-us--- aVPII a0901-B 0 aSBA 1.2:F 11/ADVISOR aDocs SBA1.2:F11/ADVISOR 04 aThe facts about-- : bthe U.S. business advisor : http://www.business.gov. : the one-stop electronic link to government for business. 30 aU.S. business advisor : http://www.business.gov. : the one-stop electronic link to government for business 30 aHttp://www.business.gov. : the one-stop electronic link to government for business 30 aOne-stop electronic link to government for business 1 iAt head of title: aChampioning America's entrepreneurs a[Washington, D.C.?] : bU.S. Small Business Administration, c[1996] a1 folded sheet (6 p.) ; c22 x 10 cm. 1 aFS ; v0014 aShipping list.: no. 97-0024-P. a"5/96"--P.

Because the direction of the maximum compression axis is approximately perpendicular to the strike of the island arc, 2-Dfinite-element modeling can be used to examine the deformation over time of the island-arc lithosphere. The model geometry is based on geophysical and geological data, and each model run requires an assumed rheology and interplate coupling. Novel to our modeling is the ability to include erosion/deposition loading and the creation of strike-slip faults, based on a dynamically-applied fracture criterion. The criterion for acceptability is how well a model matches observed present-day topography, gravity, and seismicity patterns. Results given below are for models that satisfy this criterion. The long-term effective elastic thickness is 10 km in the inner arc, increasing to about 50 km near the trench. The effective elastic thickness in the inner arc is therefore much smaller than the about 30 kmshort-term elastic thickness estimated from seismological data. The viscosity of the lower crust is on the order of 1022 Pa s or less. The strength of interplate coupling off Sanriku is about two to four times greater than off Miyagi, and there is about twice as strong a coupling at greater depths. The relative strength of coupling correlates well with the observed interplate seismicity. Hence the inferred weaker coupling off Miyagi indicates a lack of seismogenic potential -- a low probability for large earthquakes in that region, not just a long return cycle. The same modeling procedure was also applied to southwest Japan. The viscosity of the lower crust is not more than 1021 Pa s, and the elastic thickness is about 10 km. The calculated strength of interplate coupling afor southwest Japan is about 1.5 times greater than for the off-Sanriku region in northeast Japan, which correlates well with the fact that there have been great (M>8) earthquakes in the Nankai Trough region, but none that large in the off-Sanriku region. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. alithosphere rheology asubduction-zone interplate coupling afinite-element modeling 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-14101210109603140 2http 03273nmm 2200301Ka 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098049000900111099004100120100002300161245021300184256004300397260006400440440005400504500004300558500001000601502008000611504004100691520070900732520126801441538009402709538004302803653005502846856007002901 ocm35016232 960712 OCoLC 19960702090034.0 960702s1996 vau d eng a1237-36460 aVPI cVPI aVPII aElectronic Dissertation 1996 Himberg 1 aHimberg, Cathrine. 10 aVideo technology and the subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and attitudes toward physical activity of middle school students h[computer file] : bdoes P.E.TV make a difference? / cCathrine Himberg. aComputer data (1 file : 228 kilobytes) aBlacksburg, Va. : bVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State 90 aVPI & SU.

Four intact 8th grade physical education/health classes were selected for the study. The students were randomly assigned to the classes by school administrators at the beginning of the school year. The classes were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. The treatment group (two 8th grade classes) viewed 10 P.E.TV shows over a period of nine weeks. The control group (two 8th grade classes) had physical education/health classes as normal. The same teacher taught all four classes. aA pre-test post-test design was used. All students filled out a pre-test questionnaire at the beginning of the 9 weeks, and a post-test questionnaire at the end of the 9 weeks. The pre and post-test questionnaires included "Children's Attitudes Toward Physical Activity" scale to assess the student's attitudes, and questions developed by Fishbein and Ajzen (1980, 1985) to assess subjective norm and perceived behavioural control. The pre-test questionnaire also included the "Weekly Activity Checklist," which was used to categorize students into groups based on their activity level. The first three hypotheses stated that P.E.TV would have a positive influence on the students' subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and attitudes toward physical activity. Theses hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance, and rejected at the .05 level of significance. The fourth hypothesis stated that P.E.TV would have more of a positive influence on students categorized as "moderate to low active" than on students categorized as "high active." This attribute-treatment-interaction hypothesis was tested using a two way Analysis of Variance, and was also rejected at the .05.level. Suggestions for future studies are included in the discussion section. aSystem requirements: IBM PC or compatible, or Mac; World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. avideo aattitudes aphysical activity amiddle-school 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-312610359611541 2http 01810cms 2200445Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025006001900042007000700061008004100068010001700109019001300126022001400139035001500153037015600168040002300324042001400347049000900361082001200370090001500382130004500397210001900442222003600461245005400497246001500551250002000566260007800586362003400664500010800698500003400806516002400840530011700864538005200981538006901033650003101102710006101133776006301194776006401257856004301321 ocm32808313 961119 OCoLC 19960426084007.0 swr1p 0 a0 cr|cnu 950713 19959999mdu eng d asn 95007409 a32796684 a1083-351X a1227-07360 bAmerican Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 9650 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814-3997 cFree during development of Internet system aHNK cHNK dNSD dOCL ansdp alcd aVPII 10 a540 212 aQP501 b.J7 0 aJournal of biological chemistry (Online) 0 aJ. biol. chem. 0 aJournal of biological chemistry 00 aJournal of biological chemistry h[computer file]. 13 aJBC online aOnline version. aBethesda, Md. : bAmerican Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 0 aVol. 270, no. 15 (Apr. 1995)- aWorld Wide Web version co-published with: Highwire Press, the electronic imprint of Stanford Libraries. aTitle from journal home page. aText and hypertext. aOnline version of the print publication from 1995; available also in CD-ROM: Vol. 267, no. 1-9 (Jan.-Mar. 1992)- aSystem requirements: Ability to display images. aMode of access: World Wide Web: http://www-jbc.stanford.edu/jbc/ 0 aBiochemistry xPeriodicals. 2 aAmerican Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. 1 tJournal of biological chemistry x0021-9258 w(OCoLC)1782222 1 tJournal of biological chemistry x1067-8816 w(OCoLC)26477144 7 uhttp://www-jbc.stanford.edu/jbc/ 2http 01618 km 2200265 a 4500008004100000035001500041099002800056245012800084256001900212260006400231300003300295500003300328500009100361500004600452520016700498590012500665590008600790690006600876690004100942700002700983700004201010710009101052856014901143909006001292 940419s1994 vau 0z eng d a1083-96860 ax test digital database 00 aCadet uniforms and insignia from Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute h[picture] aImage database aBlacksburg, Va. : bScholarly Communications Project, c1994. a39 paintings : bwatercolor ; aTitle supplied by cataloger. aText and drawings by Harry Downing Temple; uniform paintings by Floyd Richard Vranian. aCD-ROM prepared by PhotoGraphic Services. aA pictorial history of cadet uniforms and insignia from Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College and Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1872-[post-World War II]. aThese watercolor paintings will soon be accessible as digital images in the Special Collections Dept. of Newman Library. aImage source: Temple, Harry Downing.

D.)--Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1996. aIncludes bibliographical references. aResearch consistently supports that some segments of society are at considerably higher risk for illness and death than the national average. While the existence and extent of poor health outcomes for these "vulnerable populations" are well documented, less research attempts to explain why such inequities persist and how they might be resolved. Thus, many vulnerable individuals fail to get adequate health care. How can health care delivery be improved to better serve those consumers most at-risk of poor health? Addressing this issue requires an in-depth understanding of the unique health and social needs of vulnerable consumers and how these needs are being met (or not met) by the health care industry. Based on field research using a variety of methods, this study examined health care delivery to one at-risk population, women in a rural Appalachian coal mining community, with the ultimate goal of envisioning service design and distribution strategies that might better serve disadvantaged populations. Consistent with the change-oriented goal of this research, a feminist approach guided this study. Women's everyday experiences in managing their health needs were explored through an analysis of their health care stories. Health care providers were also interviewed in order to explore both sides of the service encounter dyad. The voices of the women and the providers reveal uneasy tensions in health care delivery and illuminate why the current system does not meet the actual health care needs of the women or their community. A variety of solutions are offered to improve health care delivery. aSystem requirements: PC, World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. aAvailable electronically via Internet. awomen's health care aAppalachia aempowerment afield research afeminist 7 uhttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/public/etd-488111769631981 2http 01981cmm 2200397Ia 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042035001500083040001300098043001200111049000900123074002000132086001400152099001700166245006300183256001800246260004400264265014700308490006800455500015700523500005800680500006300738500004800801500005000849500005300899520014900952538013101101650005001232650005401282651006201336710004801398710005201446740002201498856006301520 ocm30576142 961002 OCoLC 19960930092234.0 960930m19949999dcu g d f eng a1249-91260 aGPO cGPO an-us--- aVPII a0573-E (online) 0 aAE 2.106: aDocs AE2.106 00 a[Federal register 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] aMode of access: via INTERNET using WAIS client software; SWAIS access by telnet to wais.access.gpo.gov or via asynchronous connection to (202) 512-1661. aU.S. Federal GILS record title: The Federal Register. aOriginally compiled by the Office of the Federal Register. aUpdated daily each day the FR is published. aBegins with calendar year 1994, v. 59, no. 1. aACSII text files; FR has graphics as TIFF files. aIncludes Presidential Proclamations, Executive orders and rules, regulations, notices, and similar documents of Federal Administrative Agencies. aSystem requirements: PC; INTERNET access; WAIS client software; or communications software; modem; phone line to access SWAIS. 0 aFederal government zUnited States xDatabases. 0 aGovernment information zUnited States xDatabases. 0 aUnited States xPolitics and government y1993- xDatabases. 1 aUnited States. bGovernment Printing Office. 1 aUnited States. bOffice of the Federal Register. 01 aFederal register. 7 uhttp://www.access.gpo.gov/suödocs/aces/aaces002.html 2http 01710cas 2200361 a 4500001001900000003000600019005001700025008004100042010003100083012000900114022001400123035001500137040002800152042000700180049000900187050001800196072001500214245004300229260007300272300002500345310001400370362003100384500002200415530017700437550011500614650004200729650004200771650004000813650003900853710006000892856020100952856019501153 ocm34916424 970924 OCoLC 19961104140526.0 961104c19969999enkqr p s 0 0eng d a 96648304 zsn 96032105 i9608 a1355-770X a1255-46760 aNDD cNDD dHUL dDLC dVPI alc aVPII 00 aHC79.E5 bE567 aECON d1996 00 aEnvironment and development economics. aCambridge, UK ; aNew York, NY : bCambridge University Press, cc1996- av. : bill. ; c24 cm. aQuarterly 0 aVol. 1, pt. 1 (Feb. 1996)- aTitle from cover. aEditorial board, general subscription information, journal article contribution instructions, and table of contents for current issues also available on the World Wide Web. aPublished in association with the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. 0 aEnvironmental economics xPeriodicals. 0 aSustainable development xPeriodicals. 0 aDevelopment economics xPeriodicals. 0 aEnvironmental policy xPeriodicals. 2 aBeijer International Institute of Ecological Economics. 7 3Editorial board, general subscription information, journal article contribution instructions, and table of contents for current issues uhttp://www.cup.cam.ac.uk/Journals/JNLSCAT/ede/ede.html 2http 7 3Editorial board, general subscription information, journal article contribution instructions, and table of contents for current issues uhttp://www.cup.org/Journals/JNLSCAT/ede/ede.html 2http
