Nickel Doping Of Boron–Carbon Alloy Films And Corresponding Fermi Level Shifts, Seong-Don Hwang, N. Remmes, Peter A. Dowben, D.N. Mcilroy
Nickel Doping Of Boron–Carbon Alloy Films And Corresponding Fermi Level Shifts, Seong-Don Hwang, N. Remmes, Peter A. Dowben, D.N. Mcilroy
Peter Dowben Publications
We have grown nickel doped boron–carbon alloy films by the technique of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The source gas closo-1,2-dicarbadodecaborane (orthocarborane) was used to grow the boron–carbon alloy, while nickelocene [Ni(C5H5)2] was used as the dopant source for nickel. With sufficient levels of Ni doping, diodes with characteristic tunnel diode behavior can be fabricated. The doping of nickel transformed a B5C p-type material, relative to lightly doped n-type silicon, to a strongly n-type material. In order to gain insight into the shift of the Fermi level of the …

Fabrication Of Micron Scale Magnetic Nickel Features By Selective Area Organometallic Chemical Vapor Deposition, D. Welipitiya, C.N. Borca, Peter A. Dowben
Peter Dowben Publications
We demonstrate that it is possible to deposit a wide range of magnetic features, using photo-assisted and electron radiation induced selective area organometallic chemical vapor deposition. Large arrays of identical micron to nano scale Ni features were deposited by these methods. Their magnetic properties were studied by alternating gradient force magnetometry as well as magnetic force microscopy. Our morphological and magnetic measurements show that the structures are spatially well defined, and the magnetic properties are related to the structural shapes of the features.
Coastal Circulations Driven By River Outflow, Shuliang Zhang
Coastal Circulations Driven By River Outflow, Shuliang Zhang
HCNSO Student Theses and Dissertations
Variable-density, 11/2- and 21/2- layer models are used to examine the behavior of plumes resulting from a fresher outflow of transport Mr and salinity Sr into a pre-existing oceanic layer of initial thickness H1 and salinity S1. It is found that the plumes exhibit a variety of features depending on conditions of the outflow, the situation of the ambient ocean, and external forcing. Perhaps the most interesting feature is that the plume can flow along the upstream (to the left of the river mouth, looking seaward in the northern hemisphere) coast …

Evaluation Of Selected Atmospheric Indices For The Prediction Of Thunderstorms At Omaha, Nebraska, Fred Ladehoff
Evaluation Of Selected Atmospheric Indices For The Prediction Of Thunderstorms At Omaha, Nebraska, Fred Ladehoff
Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)
This study examines the values of five stability indices (the Showalter Index, the K Index, the Vertical Totals Index, the Cross Totals Index, and the Total Totals Index) for Omaha, Nebraska during the months of March through September, 1964 through 1973. Index means during thunderstorm periods and non-thunderstorm periods should show a distinct difference. Even though indices can be an important tool, it must be accentuated that indices should never be used as the sole factor in the prediction of thunderstorm or non-thunderstorm occurrences. This study shows that even at the highest skill scores, many mistakes would be made in …
A Vhdl-93 Hardware Description Browser, Laura C. Debrock, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan
A Vhdl-93 Hardware Description Browser, Laura C. Debrock, Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan
Kno.e.sis Publications
This paper describes the design and implementation of the VHDL-93 Hardware Description Browser, which is a tool for the intelligent retrieval of information from VHDL designs. The Browser consists of two UNIX processes: a TCL/TK Graphical User Interface and a Prolog search engine. The GUI elicits queries from the user and submits them to the Prolog search engine via a two-way communication pipe. The search engine satisfies queries by traversing a forest of parse trees corresponding to the associated VHDL designs. The results are then sent to the GUI for posting.
Two public-domain tools were used to implement the Browser: …

Whole Earth Telescope Observations Of The Helium Interacting Binary Pg 1346+082 (Cr Bootis), Judith L. Provençal, Matt A. Wood
Aerospace, Physics, and Space Science Faculty Publications
We present our analysis of 240 hr of white-light, high-speed photometry of the dwarf nova-like helium variable PG 1346+082 (CR Boo). We identify two frequencies in the low-state power spectrum, at 679.670 ± 0.004 μHz and 669.887 ± 0.008 μHz. The 679.670 μHz variation is coherent over at least a 2 week time span, the first demonstration of a phase-coherent photometric variation in any dwarf nova-like interacting binary white dwarf system. The high-state power spectrum contains a complex fundamental with a frequency similar, but not identical, to the low-state spectrum, and a series of harmonics not detected in low state. …
Geological And Geophysical Character Of The East China And Yellow Seas, John D. Milliman, Nicole D. Scott
Geological And Geophysical Character Of The East China And Yellow Seas, John D. Milliman, Nicole D. Scott
Reports
The East China and Yellow seas represent one of the broadest shallow seas in the global ocean, with water depths generally less than 80 m and stretching nearly 750 km from the Shandong Peninsula to the Okinawa Trough (Fig. 1). This area is also unique in terms of the vast amount of sediment it receives from the Huanghe (Yellow River; presently discharging in the adjacent Gulf of Bohai) and the Changjigang (Yangtze River, which flows into the East China Sea). Together, this region receives about ten percent of the river-derived sediment reaching the ocean, and as such, the region has …

Study On The Parasites Of Falcons In The United Arab Emirates, Mohammad Ismail M. A Sultan Al-Ulama
Study On The Parasites Of Falcons In The United Arab Emirates, Mohammad Ismail M. A Sultan Al-Ulama
Theses
Sakers Falco cherrug, Gyrfalcons Falco rusticolus, Peregrines Falco peregrilllls, in addition to Hybrids (saker X gyrfalcon, or gyrfalcon X peregrine), were found to be the most popular species of falcons in United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The importance of falcons and falconry in Arabia was highlighted with a brief history of falconry in Arabia.
The study focused on the prevalence of intestinal parasites (coccidia, helminthes and nematodes) and blood parasites (Haemoproteus sp. and Leucocytozoon sp.) as well as ecto-parasites (Ticks and Mites) of these falcons, with discussion on the possible sources of infection in view of the …

Wildfire Case Study: Butte City Fire, Southeastern Idaho, July 1, 1994, Bret W. Butler, Timothy D. Reynolds, United States Department Of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Research Station
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Butte City Fire occurred on July 1, 1994, west of Idaho Falls, ID. Ignited from a burning flat tire, the blaze was driven by high winds that caused it to cover over 20,500 acres in just over 6.5 hours. Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis) is the principal shrub species of this high dese~t rangeland. With the absence of vegetation after the fire, erosion increased tremendously. Because the fire occurred on the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, researchers were able to gather weather information from remote meteorological stations positioned on and around the site.

The pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine ring systems are present in a variety of antibacterial/anticancer compounds. A scarcity of natural sources has made necessary the need for researchers to find more efficient methodologies to synthesize such compounds.1 The Edstrom research group is currently exploring new routes to these compounds, varying the protecting groups and the precursors used to make them.
Chaotic Behavior And Damage Spreading In The Glauber Ising Model: A Master Equation Approach, Thomas Vojta
Chaotic Behavior And Damage Spreading In The Glauber Ising Model: A Master Equation Approach, Thomas Vojta
Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works
We investigate the sensitivity of the time evolution of a kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics against the initial conditions. To do so we apply the "damage spreading" method, i.e., we study the simultaneous evolution of two identical systems subjected to the same thermal noise. We derive a master equation for the joint probability distribution of the two systems. We then solve this master equation within an effective-field approximation which goes beyond the usual mean-field approximation by retaining the fluctuations though in a quite simplistic manner. The resulting effective-field theory is applied to different physical situations. It is used to …
Cessation Of Grand Cycle Deposition In The Framework Of Passive Margin Evolution: Controlling Mechanisms And Effects On Carbonate Deposition And Diagenesis, Cambrian Maynardville Formation, Southern Appalachians, Bosiljka Glumac
Doctoral Dissertations
The Middle and Upper Cambrian deposits of the southern Appalachians reveal the existence of a broad carbonate platform that was facing the Iapetus Ocean to the east and was separated from the exposed craton to the west by the Conasauga intrashelf basin. This study focuses on the Maynardville Formation, which was deposited during the early Late Cambrian along the western carbonate platform margin. As the uppermost carbonate unit of the alternating shale and carbonate units or Grand Cycles of the Conasauga Group (Middle to Upper Cambrian), the Maynardville marks a change in style of passive-margin deposition reflected in the cessation …

Geometric Aspects Of Second-Order Scalar Hyperbolic Partial Differential Equations In The Plane, Martin Jurás
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this dissertation is to address various geometric aspects of second-order scalar hyperbolic partial differential equations in two independent variables and one dependent variable
F(x, y, u, ux, uy, uxx, uxy, uyy) = 0
We find a characterization of hyperbolic Darboux integrable equations at level k (1) in terms of the vanishing of the generalized Laplace invariants and provide an invariant characterization of various cases in the Goursat general classification of hyperbolic Darboux integrable equations (1). In particular we give a contact invariant characterization of equations integrable by …
Channel Narrowing Of The Green River Near Green River, Utah: History, Rates, And Processes Of Narrowing, Tyler M. Allread
Channel Narrowing Of The Green River Near Green River, Utah: History, Rates, And Processes Of Narrowing, Tyler M. Allread
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Previous scientific research has documented channel narrowing on the Green River near Green River, Utah, but the exact timing, rates, and causal mechanisms of that narrowing have been the source of disagreement in the scientific literature. This thesis demonstrates that the Green River has narrowed in two separate periods during the last 100 years. The narrowing is driven primarily by changes in the hydrologic regime and not by the invasion of saltcedar. The channel narrowed between 1930 and 1938, when a shift from wetter than normal conditions to a period of draught led to a reduction in river discharge. Channel …
Empirical Studies Of Ionospheric Electric Fields, Ludger Scherliess
Empirical Studies Of Ionospheric Electric Fields, Ludger Scherliess
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The first comprehensive study of equatorial- to mid-latitude ionospheric electric fields (plasma drifts) is presented, using extensive incoherent scatter radar measurements from Jicamarca, Arecibo, and Millstone Hill, and F-region ion drift meter data from the polar orbiting DE-2 satellite. Seasonal and solar cycle dependent empirical quiet-time electric field models from equatorial to mid latitudes are developed, which improve and extend existing climatological models. The signatures of electric field perturbations during geomagnetically disturbed periods, associated with changes in the high-latitude currents and the characteristics of storm-time dynamo electric fields driven by enhanced energy deposition into the high-latitude ionosphere, are studied. Analytical …

The Circulating Processor Model Of Parallel Systems, Amy Apon, Lawrence Dowdy
The Circulating Processor Model Of Parallel Systems, Amy Apon, Lawrence Dowdy
Publications
This paper introduces the circulating processor model for parallel computer systems. The circulating processor model is a product form queuing network model where the processors are allowed to circulate between the parallel applications instead of the more traditional circulating task model. Certain behaviors of parallel systems are better captured using this new approach. The circulating processor model may be load dependent or load dependent. The load dependent circulating processor model is exact for systems which contain a single parallel application. An exact error is calculated for the load independent circulating processor model for systems which contain a single parallel application. …

Klz: A Prototype X Protocol Compression System, Ka-Tak Lo
Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses
One of the most commonly used graphics protocol is the X Protocol, enabling programs to display graphics images. When running the X Protocol over the network, a lot of structured data (messages with fields) need to be transmitted. Delays can be detected by human users when connected through a low-bandwidth network. The solution is to compress the X protocol. XRemote, a network version of the X Protocol, uses Dictionary-based compression. In XRemote, strings are recorded in the dictionary. When a string repeats, its index in the dictionary is transmitted. Higher Bandwidth X (HBX) uses statistical modeling techniques instead. A context …
The Effects Of Hydrilla Infestation On Selected Wintering Waterfowl: Santee Copper Lake System, South Carolina, William Davis
The Effects Of Hydrilla Infestation On Selected Wintering Waterfowl: Santee Copper Lake System, South Carolina, William Davis
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Hydrilla is an exotic aquatic weed that was introduced into Florida in the 1950's. Since that time it has spread rapidly from lake to lake throughout the southeast and beyond. The Santee Cooper lake system in eastern South Carolina was infested with the weed in the early 1980's. Since that time lake managers have sought ways to eliminate the aquatic plant and have succeeded to a great extent through the use of sterile grass carp as a biological control agent. This paper, however, contains evidence to support the view that hydrilla is actually a beneficial habitat for many species on …

Constraints On Present-Day Shortening Rate Across The Central Eastern Andes From Gps Data, Lisa Leffler, Seth Stein, Ailin Mao, Timothy H. Dixon, Michael A. Ellis, Leonidas Ocola, I. Selwyn Sacks
School of Geosciences Faculty and Staff Publications
Two years of continuous GPS data from several sites in South America indicate that Arequipa in the southern Peruvian Andes has a velocity of 13±3 mm/yr (two standard errors) to the northeast with respect to stable South America. We interpret these data as reflecting a combination of elastic strain accumulation associated with a locked Nazca-South America subduction zone and a small amount of crustal shortening across the fold and thrust belt on the eastern margin of the Andes. Models of elastic strain accumulation for fully locked and partly locked subduction zones constrain shortening in the eastern Andes to 0–3 mm/yr …

Native Vegetation On Farms Survey 1996 : A Survey Of Farmers Attitudes To Native Vegetation And Landcare In The Wheatbelt Of Western Australia, Suzanne Jenkins
Resource management technical reports
The Native Vegetation on Farms survey 1996 was performed to assess the attitudes of farmers to a number of issues related to existing native vegetation on farmland, the replanting of vegetation on farms and land degradation. Research has shown that it is important for a proportion of all farmland to have some native vegetation for ecological stability, to regulate hydrological processes and for long-term sustainability of farm production.
A Hydrogeochemical Study Of The Evolution Of The Headwaters Of The Bear River In The Uinta Mountains, Utah, Michael F. Leschin
A Hydrogeochemical Study Of The Evolution Of The Headwaters Of The Bear River In The Uinta Mountains, Utah, Michael F. Leschin
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The headwaters of the Bear River in the Uinta Mountains of Utah provide a good setting in which to examine the influence of geological materials on stream chemistry. Ionic contributions to the stream-water from soils, vegetation, and the atmosphere generally are sparse enough that they do not mask the geologic contributions. Samples from 37 sites on the four major headwater streams and several minor tributaries were examined geochemically. Data derived from the samples allowed the construction of a hydrogeochemical weathering model specific to the study area. A significant feature of this model is that carbonic acid is the dominant chemical …
