Evaluating the Effectiveness of Utah Farm Field DaysWray, Paige 01 May 2017 (has links)
The goal of farm field days in Utah is to show an increase in agricultural literacy among elementary aged children. Evaluations of student learning have not been adequately assessed. Students from two of the statewide farm field day events were assessed on what they already knew about agriculture, what they wanted to learn about agriculture, and then what they learned about agriculture as a result of the event they attended. Data was collected and analyzed using the National Agriculture Literacy Outcomes and Themes, to determine if the farm field day events had any impact on their awareness or understanding of agriculture. Results indicated that students were below an average awareness of younger grade-level appropriate agricultural concepts before they attend the farm field day event. However, after the event, results indicated that student awareness of grade appropriate agricultural concepts increased.

Near-Field Characterization of FM Transmitter Devices in Mobile Phone ApplicationsKhatun, MST Afroza January 2008 (has links)
<p>Mobile Phone, without this we can’t think to pass a day in presence. We have found a rapid increase of mobile phone users from a few years ago till now. Day by day the modern technologies allow the mobile phone to become smaller, cheaper, and more reliable. This also creates new possibilities for applications and integrations of the classical broadcast systems and modern mobile phone technologies. One example is the FM transmitter in mobile phone. The FM transmitter in a mobile phone is a “cool” feature which allows listening to the music content in phone on a car or home radio.</p><p> </p><p>This thesis work deals with the near field characterization of FM transmitters in mobile phone applications. The RF scientists and engineers neglect the near field zone because typical RF links operate at distances of many wavelengths away where near field effects are totally insignificant.

We measured the field intensity at near field and estimated the field strength at the far field region at 3 meters.

A Study of Elliptical Fiber MicrolensesYeh, Szu-ming 20 September 2006 (has links)
Two new schemes of fiber microlenses for coupling between the high-power 980nm laser diodes and single-mode fibers (SMFs) are proposed. The quadrangular-pyramid-shaped fiber microlens (QPSFM) is fabricated by grinding a quadrangular-pyramid-shaped endface and then through heating in a fusing splicer to form an elliptical microlens endface. In comparison to the traditional wedge-shaped fiber microlens, the QPSFM structure can control two axial curvatures to form an elliptical microlens endface, and then control the aspect ratio of fiber far-field pattern to match the elliptical mode fields of lasers. The coupling efficiency of 83% for the QPSFM has been demonstrated. Another scheme of fiber microlens is the conical-wedge-shaped fiber microlens (CWSFM). The CWSFM is fabricated by grinding a conical-shaped fiber endface, then grinding a pair of wedge planes on the conical-shaped fiber endface, and finally through heating in a fusing splicer to form a good elliptical microlens endface. The coupling efficiency of 84% for CWSFM has been demonstrated.
The fabrication of QPSFM requires five-step grinding processes. The range of grinding offset is 0.5~3.0£gm, and the average of grinding offset is 1.5£gm. The fabrication yield of QPSFM is low due to the large grinding offset. The fabrication of CWSFM requires only three-step grinding processes. The range of grinding offset is 0.3~1.5£gm, the average of grinding offset is 0.8£gm. The fabrication yield of CWSFM is high due to the small grinding offset. The fabrication yield is about 60% for 70% coupling efficiency; whereas the fabrication yield becomes 96% for 60% coupling efficiency.
The laser-to-SMFs coupling of the fiber microlens was modeled based on the diffraction theory. The coupling efficiency, the tolerance of alignment, and the tolerance of fiber microlens offset were calculated according to this model. There is a good agreement between the simulation and the experiment values. In this study, two new scheme of fiber microlenses of the QPSFM and CWSFM with high coupling efficiency have been demonstrated. The CWSFM structure has the benefits of simple process and high yield that is suitable for use in commercial high power laser module.

Design of Broadband RFID Tag Antennas for Application in Near and Far Fields in the UHF BandLu, Yi-Sheng 24 July 2008 (has links)
In this thesis, we propose the method to design tag antennas, which are suitable for radio frequency identification system. The fact that the tag antennas design comes with single layer printed circuit board can achieve cost down of the antennas.
For the tag antennas, the aim is to design the RFID tag antenna operating in 860¡V960 MHz which are suitable for both the near- and far-field operations worldwide. The method we use to design tag antenna is the dual loop form with Bow-tie antenna, and we focus on the impedance conjugate matching between the RFID strap and antenna to increase impedance bandwidth and improve reading performance. We can adjust parameter to be suitable for different RFID strap in the design framework.
The dual loop structure carries out power coupling efficiently in the near field and can allow the RFID strap to work even in the weak EM wave. According to the result of power coupling simulation, we analyze and discuss which factor will affect the reliability of the identification. Such reliability will help to build RFID system.

Propriétés optiques et thermoplasmoniques de réseaux de nanocylindres : applications à la détection de molécules et de micro-objets / Optical and thermoplasmonic properties of arrays of nanocylinders : Applications to the detection of molecules and micron-sized objectsColas, Florent 03 July 2017 (has links)
La spectroscopie Raman est une technique non-invasive, non-destructrice, permettant l’identificationdes molécules contenues dans un échantillon solide, liquide ou gazeux. Toutefois elle souffre d’un inconvénient majeur : une faible sensibilité. Cette limite est maintenant sur le point d’être repoussée grâce à l’essor du SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering, acronyme anglais de diffusion Raman exaltée de surface). Ce phénomène a été déjà mis en œuvre avec succès dans diverses applications : biomédicale, biologie, chimie analytique, science environnementale... Toutefois, malgré un nombre croissant de travaux scientifiques, certains aspects des capteurs SERS restent à étudier. Ce travail s’est focalisé sur l’étude des propriétés optiques en champs proche et lointain de réseaux de nanocylindres pour la détection de composés organiques. Les paramètres étudiés sont la période du réseau, le diamètre des cylindres, mais également le matériau constituant la nanoparticule tout comme la couche d’accroche. L’´étude des propriétés optiques nous a naturellement amené à investiguer le phénomène d’absorption. L’´énergie lumineuse incidente est convertie en chaleur. Les nanocylindres se comportent alors comme des nanosources de chaleur. Ainsi, une partie de ce travail a porté sur les effets dits de thermoplasmoniques. Une des applications que nous avons démontrée est la capacité à manipuler des micro-objets, grâce au contrôle des phénomènes d’advections. / Raman spectroscopy is a technique that is non-invasive, non-destructive, allowing the identification of the molecules contained in a solid, liquid or gaseous sample. However it suffers from one major drawback : low sensitivity. This limit is now about to be pushed through the fast growth of SERS (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering). This phenomenon has been already implemented successfully in various applications : biomedical, biology, analytical chemistry,environmental science... However, despite a growing number of scientific works, some aspects of the SERS sensors still need to be studied. This work focused on the study of the near-field and the far-field properties of arrays of nanocylinders for the detection of organic compounds. The studied parameters are the period of the array, the diameter of the cylinders, but also the material constituting the nanoparticle as the adhesion layer. The study of optical properties naturally led us to investigate the phenomenon of absorption. The incident light energy is converted into heat. The nanocylindres then behave like nanosources of heat. Thus, part of this work focused on the effects of thermoplasmonics. One of the applications that we demonstrated is the ability to manipulate the micro-objets, thanks to the control of the phenomena of advections.

Dispersion of two dimensional coflowing jet in the intermediate fieldGuo, Hong Wei, Aerospace, Civil & Mechanical Engineering, Australian Defence Force Academy, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
An analytical dispersion model has been derived to determine the distribution of velocities and concentrations of a tracer in a two-dimensional jet in a coflowing ambient fluid. The particular novelty of this model is that it bridges the gap between near-field (where initial momentum dominates behaviour) and far-field (where ambient turbulence is more important) domains. We describe this domain as the ???intermediate field???. In a literature review of coflowing jets we find several laboratory studies and models which can predict the velocities (and in some cases concentrations) in a 2D jet, however they all have shortcomings. None could fully account for ambient turbulence, and all were strictly near-field, i.e. they are unable to describe behaviour when ambient turbulence dominates the initial shear. A brief review of analytical far-field models was also undertaken. There are standard solutions for the dispersion of a 2D continuous source but none that allow for an initial source momentum or non-uniform velocity. As opposed to the near-field coflow approach used by other researchers we start from the far-field, modifying the simple diffusion models by perturbing the governing equations to allow for the initial momentum. Models are developed for both along-stream velocity and the concentration field of a tracer. From the velocity model, a comparison is made with experimental data available from one researcher (Wang, 1996) and an existing near-field coflow model PJCMERG (Davidson, 1989). The initial conditions (width and excess velocity) for our model are determined by Gaussian curve fitting to an arbitrary point in the near-field. The diffusivity parameter is used to adjust (tune) the model until the centreline velocity profile matches. We can always achieve this match and to a much closer degree than PJCMERG. There are no available laboratory or field data for concentrations of a tracer in a 2D coflowing jet although the near-field model PJCMERG does have a tracer component. We demonstrate how PJCMERG cannot converge to any far-field model, while our model provides a neat transition between the near-field and far-field. We have started the extension of the 2D model to the more common 3D situation although we have yet to carry out any comparisons with other models or data. The model development is included in an appendix for other researchers to pick up.
