Compliant Mechanism Suspensions
This thesis has explored the use of compliant mechanisms in vehicle suspension systems, specifically where a compliant mechanism acts as part of the wheel locating mechanism and as the energy storage element. A compliant mechanism has the potential of reducing part count, joints, and manufacturing …

Geometry-Aware Methodology for Coupling Mechanism Analysis and Radiation Mechanism Analysis
… presented to analyze the coupling and radiation mechanism in electronic devices.</p> <p>To investigate the coupling between the distributive geometries in the radio frequency interference (RFI) problem, a mesh-dependent partition-based coupling mechanism analysis method is provided based on the …

computer-aided mechanism design
Algorithmic mechanism design, as practised today, is a manual process; however, manual design and reasoning do not scale well with the complexity of design tasks. In this thesis, we study computer-aided mechanism design as an alternative to manual construction and analysis of mechanisms. In our …

ESSAYS IN MECHANISM DESIGN
… the 3 papers. Welfare Properties of the Taiwan Mechanism: This paper analyzes the welfare properties of the mechanism Taiwan uses to match students to high schools. I study the Taiwan mechanism under a theoretical model where students share the same ordinal rankings, and a single lottery …

Essays on mechanism design
This thesis is a collection of three essays on mechanism design. In Chapter 1, we consider a general Informed Principal Problem in the context of procurement. Both the potential suppliers and the buyer hold some private information: each supplier knows his cost of production, the buyer knows how …

Compliant mechanism learning toolkit
… to assist in learning the behavior of complaint mechanisms. In the design of complaint mechanisms, increasingly complicated designs behave in ways that are harder to intuitively predict. This kit would allow for the rapid construction and disassembly of mechanisms with various constraint …

Automatic reaction mechanism generation :
… high fidelity predictive modeling using Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG), an open source software package which automatically constructs kinetic mechanisms. Several sources contribute to model error during automatic mechanism generation, including incomplete or incorrect handling of chemistry, …

The Mechanism of Mammalian Pexophagy
The mechanism of mammalian pexophagy is poorly understood. Although ubiquitination is thought to be involved in the process, the upstream and downstream effectors of ubiquitination remain elusive. Specifically, the E3 ligase responsible for mediating ubiquitination is not known, the site(s) of …

Dual Mechanism Analgesia-Enhancing Agents
… assay. An attempt to determine the underlying mechanism of this potentiating effect was the purpose of the present investigation. The studies focused on an examination of: i) MD-354 in the mouse hot-plate assay, ii) a more lipophilic analog of MD-354 in the tail-flick assay, iii) various …

Mechanism of transverse petroleum migration
… of petroleum is investigated to determine a mechanism which explains the occurrence of barren (water-filled) reservoirs interspersed between hydrocarbon-bearing reservoirs within the same oil or gas field, especially when the intervening shales are not petroleum source rocks. Application of …

Degenerative mechanism in dopaminergic neurons
The degenerative mechanisms of dopaminergic cells in Parkinsona??s disease (PD) remained elusive even after many years of research. However, many have hypothesized that the cell deaths in PD are via apoptosis and in particularly, by the mitochondrial-mediated apoptotic pathway. As such, the purpose …

Ignition mechanism in nanocomposites thermites
… recent efforts aimed at understanding ignition mechanisms of nanocomposite reactive materials. Although significant progress has been made, ignition mechanisms remain elusive. At the same time, a robust ignition model is required to incorporate these materials in practical energetic …

Molecular Mechanism of Parvovirus Infection
… of two parts: 1) investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying cytopathic effects induced during infections of parvovirus B19 (B19V) and minute virus of canines (MVC); 2) identifying the role of EpoR signaling in supporting B19V replication in erythroid of progenitor cells. To the first …

Compensatory Mechanism in Religious Context
… and qualitative methods to reveal the mechanism behind religious compensatory consumption. This dissertation connects religious compensatory consumption with “moral” consumption concepts, such as green consumption, to provide a more comprehensive explanation of compensatory mechanisms. …

Mechanism design with approximate types
In mechanism design, we replace the strong assumption that each player knows his own payoff type exactly with the more realistic assumption that he knows it only approximately: each player i only knows that his true type [theta]i; is one among a set [Kappa]i, and adversarially and secretly chosen …
