2	Straightness of Growth for Carbon Nanotube Microelectromechanical Systems Moulton, Kellen S. 19 November 2010 (has links) (PDF) The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of iron catalyst thickness on the straightness of growth of carbon nanotube microelectromechanical systems (CNT-MEMS). One of the key benefits of CNT-MEMS is that they can potentially have very high aspect ratios. One of the challenges in attaining these high aspect ratios is maintaining device straightness; as these devices get taller, the edges tend to curve rather than grow straight vertically. Scanning electron mi- croscope images of samples grown using various iron catalyst thicknesses show that both straight growth and relatively good edge definition can be achieved using iron thicknesses between 7 and 8 nm. Below this thickness, individual CNT are well-aligned, but CNT forests are not necessarily straight. Above this thickness, the CNT forests are relatively straight, but individual CNT are not well-aligned and edge definition is very poor. Iron availability for CNT growth is also affected by a device's or feature's proximity to other regions of iron. By using an iron catalyst thickness ap- propriate for straight growth, and by adding borders of iron around features or devices, a designer can greatly improve straightness of growth for CNT-MEMS. microelectromechanical systems carbon nanotubes iron catalyst thickness Kellen Moulton Mechanical Engineering

4	Contractivity-Preserving Explicit 2-Step, 6-Stage, 6-Derivative Hermite-Birkhoff–Obrechkoff Ode Solver of Order 13 Alzahrani, Abdulrahman January 2015 (has links) In this thesis, we construct a new optimal contractivity-preserving (CP) explicit, 2-step, 6-stage, 6-derivative, Hermite--Birkhoff--Obrechkoff method of order 13, denoted by HBO(13) with nonnegative coefficients, for solving nonstiff first-order initial value problems y'=f(t,y), y(t_0)=y_0. This new method is the combination of a CP 2-step, 6-derivative, Hermite--Obrechkoff of order 9, denoted by HO(9), and a 6-stage Runge-Kutta method of order 5, denoted by RK(6,5). The new HBO(13) method has order 13. We compare this new method, programmed in Matlab, to Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method of order 13 in PECE mode, denoted by ABM(13), by testing them on several frequently used test problems, and show that HBO(13) is more efficient with respect to the CPU time, the global error at the endpoint of integration and the relative energy error. We show that the new HBO(13) method has a larger scaled interval of absolute stability than ABM(13) in PECE mode.

5	Determinanty důvěry Evpropské ceentrální bance / The Determinants of Trust in the European Central Bank Katuščáková, Dominika January 2015 (has links) The thesis studies the determinants of trust in the European Central Bank by employing various indicators. The main objective has been to assess the most significant determinants of trust and to study the impact of the Great Crisis on trust in the European Central Bank. First, the socio-demographic and macroeconomic variables have been studied as the predictors and socio-demographic ones have been confirmed to be more significant. We have also extended the regressions by two new variables: monetary policy transparency index and financial stability transparency index. Whereas the monetary policy transparency index has not been significantly correlated with trust, it has been proved that the financial stability transparency index has positive impact on the trust in the European Central Bank. Secondly, we have employed the bias-reduced linearization procedure for computation of the standard errors in order to account for clustering and serial correlation problems. After comparison with the robust standard errors, we have concluded that the robust standard errors are not able to completely deal with the clusters and serial correlation in data. Thirdly, it has been proved that the trust in the European Central Bank decreases during the crisis occurrence.

The theoretical part introduces a history of comics, from the beginning of this medium till present and focuses on woman comics characters and their typologies. The analytical part of the diploma work presents own research which deals with visual depiction of women in comics: examines their functions and roles in comics and bindings to the depictions. A part of the research section of this work is also comics codes analysis (genre, modality, visual codes, nonverbal and language codes), summary of quantitative researches of female characters in comics and basic information about analysed comics (author of the comics, category etc.). The researched sample is composed of three comics: Li'l Abner (author: Al Capp), Wonder Woman (author: Charles Moulton), Strangers in Paradise (author: Terry Moore). Outcome of this research is a survey of analysed female and male characters, a summary of the visual analysis and implying results.
7	Exploring Concepts of Contagion and the Authority of Medical Treatises in 14th-16th Century England Jones, Lori K 27 August 2012 (has links) This thesis examines whether and how historians’ reliance on medical treatises has limited the historiography of contagion as it relates to fourteenth through sixteenth century England. It analyses the context, contents, audience, and codicology of six English tractates, four on the plague and two on the sweating sickness. Before the early seventeenth century, most English tractates were translations/adaptations of Continental works, with ‘uniquely English’ content added. Although the plague dominates studies of pre-modern disease, focusing on the plague hinders comparative analyses that can reveal much about contemporary understanding of contagion. The socio-political-professional contexts in which the tractates were written and disseminated affected their contents, circulation and, ultimately, audiences. Although largely ignored by historians, the tractates’ prefatory dedications, together with their codicology, reveals that the texts were likely accessible to non-elite audiences. Rather than being limited to its medical sense, contagion formed part of the larger discourse about the human condition. plague tractates plague sweating sickness England late medieval early modern contagion contagious disease history of medicine medical treatises literacy/reading codicology John Caius Thomas le Forestier Thomas Moulton Thomas Phayer Canutus BL Additional MS 27582 BL Sloane MS 3489 professional conflict socio-political conflict fifteenth century sixteenth century
