Aerodynamic Analysis of Variable Geometry Raked Wingtips for Mid-Range Transonic Transport Aircraft
… applied to a next-generation, transonic, mid-range transport aircraft. Several models were created to simulate various sweep positions for the VGRWT/NCE tip, as well as a baseline model with an untreated wingtip. The majority of investigation was conducted using the VLM software, with CFD …

Novel photonic phenomena in nanostructured material systems with applications and mid-range efficient insensitive wireless energy-transfer
… optical buffers and active devices. A method for mid-range efficient and insensitive wireless energy-transfer is proposed. A condition of 'strong coupling' of resonances is identified as necessary and sufficient for efficient energy-exchange, and is shown to be satisfied at mid-range distances by …

Experiments and numerical analysis on air bearing slumping of segmented thin-shell mirrors for X-ray telescopes
… requires long thermal cycles and produces mid-range spatial frequency errors due to the anti-stick mandrel coatings. Over the last few years, MIT Space Nanotechnology Lab has developed a non-contact slumping process differentiating from the preceding contact slumping, which utilizes a pair …

Spirituality And Spiritual Self-Care: Expanding Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory
… and a discovery theory-building approach, a new mid-range theory called White's theory of spirituality and spiritual self-care (WTSSSC) was developed. To begin to test this mid-range theory, empirical indices of many of the main concepts were identified from prior studies and one new instrument …

Speed and Scope of Strategic Response to an Environmental Change: The Case of the United States Trucking Industry's Deregulation
… the same, new environment. This study takes the mid-range approach between the two extremes of determinism and voluntarism views, accepting the influence of the external environment on organizations and yet believing in organizations' freedom and ability to cope with the changing environment.

Mindfulness And Its Impact On Leader-Employee Relations In Higher Education Social Work Departments
… of 4.16 (out of 6) which indicates a higher than mid-range trait mindfulness but lower than the normative average of 4.2 (Brown & Ryan, 2003). Faculty averaged 5.</p> <p>The results of this study were that the sample of social work higher education leaders reported an average Mindfulness and …

An exploration of trypophobia
… filtering images reduced the excess energy at mid-range spatial frequencies (previously associated with both trypophobic and uncomfortable images). Relative to unfiltered trypophobic images, the discomfort from filtered images experienced by observers with high TQ scores was less than that …

Critical thinking of nursing students, graduate nurses and expert nurses in simulated clinical situations
… expertise during a clinical simulation. A mid-range theory was developed from the work of Benner (1984) and Paul (1992). As persons develop clinical expertise from novice to expert level, through acquisition of knowledge and experience, critical thinking is developed and used for clinical …

Evaluation of Spatial Interpolation Techniques Built in the Geostatistical Analyst Using Indoor Radon Data for Ohio,USA
… concentrations (i.e., peak-end/low-end), and the mid-range concentrations of indoor air quality (IAQ) models are performed on the predicted data points to evaluate the best interpolation technique. </p><p>Considering the statistical indicators for peak-end, low-end and mid-range estimates, it has …

Nursing Students' Lived Experiences surrounding Medication Administration
… First, using a critical feminist perspective, a mid-range theory of nursing lens distortion is proposed regarding the oppression caused by the socially-constructed phenomenon of perfectibility and its distorting influence on the development of a nursing lens. Subsequently, an interpretive …

YSCAT Backscatter Distributions
… YSCAT94 data, the rolloff is most noticeable at mid-range incidence angles with γ values ranging from 3 to 6 m/s.</p> <p>In order to characterized YSCAT94 backscatter distributions, a second order polynomial in log space is developed as a model for the probability of the radar cross …

The design and implementation of a new wide-range frequency detector
In this thesis, I designed and implemented a wide range frequency detector for use in clock recovery and data retiming applications. The new detector works in conjunction with the existing "mid-range" frequency detector to accurately lock the VCO to the incoming data rate. The new detector consists …

Damage accumulation of bovine bone under variable amplitude loads.
… and a combination of ductile and brittle from mid-range cyclic amplitudes (6,500 – 6,750 με). Brittle and ductile fracture mechanisms were isolated into variable amplitude loading tests. PMR predictions of cycles to failure consistently over-predicted fatigue life when mixing isolated fracture …

An empirical examination of mature service environments and high performance strategies within those environments: the case of the lodging and restaurant industries
… literature through the development of a mid-range approach to the study of environment and strategy. Through the use of cluster analysis and multiple discriminant analysis, four commonly recurring environmental settings were identified. These were (1) a high growth environment, (2) a …

MODELING AND DESIGN OF A SMART DOUBLE-PANEL SYSTEM FOR THE CONTROL OF SOUND TRANSMISSION INTO AIRCRAFT CABIN
… in interior noise reductions is limited to mid-range and high-range frequencies (above about 1000 Hz). In fact, double-panel sidewall systems currently used in aircraft designs are ineffective at reducing low-frequency sound transmission (below about 1000 Hz). Furthermore, this problem is …

A Unified Framework for High-Frame-Rate High-Dynamic-Range Video Synthesis
Creating high-dynamic-range (HDR) video at high-frame rates is a technically demanding and application-critical problem, particularly in domains such as cinematography and autonomous perception. The challenge arises from the limitations of conventional image sensors in capturing both temporal and …
