Royce and Perry on Idealism and Realism
… attempt to reconstruct the debate between Josiah Royce and Ralph Barton Perry concerning the viability of both the realist and idealist positions. Secondarily, I will show that this debate is a crucial part of an adequate understanding of the changes that took place in American philosophy in the …

THE MORAL ARGUMENT OF T. S. ELIOT'S "FOUR QUARTETS" (BRADLEY, ETHICS, NEO-HEGELIANISM, ROYCE).
… Studies and modified in the teaching of Josiah Royce, and the moral thought of Eliot's poetic writings, beginning with "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," culminating in Four Quartets, and finding a new mode of expression in the dramas. By tracing Eliot's moral thought to the nineteenth …

FROM ‘WE REASONERS’ TO ‘WE SUFFERERS’: COMMUNITY AND LOYALTY FROM ROYCE, THROUGH SELLARS, TO RORTY
Josiah Royce, Wilfrid Sellars, and Richard Rorty form a loose intellectual tradition in their various presentations of moral community. Their influence on one another has been noted but not yet fully explored. This dissertation remedies that lack. It shows the dependence in addressing this topic of …

An exploration of supply chain management practices in the aerospace industry and in Rolls-Royce
… the aerospace industry and by focusing on Rolls-Royce through a case study. The objective of the thesis is to conduct an exploratory study of the best practices in supply chain management in the aircraft engine manufacturing industry, and how these practices impact the competitive positioning of …

An analysis of the metaphysics of personhood: with special reference to Kant, Fries, Schelling, Cieszkowski, Royce, Scheler and Otto
This thesis is concerned to argue for a metaphysical approach to notions of personhood in contradistinction to the alternative positivist approach and this by way of a deployment of the as yet vastly under utilised resources found in the Central European metaphysical tradition. This thesis is …

A comparative study of iterative prototyping vs. waterfall process applied to small and medium sized software projects
After Royce introduced the Waterfall model in 1970, several approaches looking to provide the software development process with a formal framework have been elaborated and tested. While some of these followed the sequential line of thought presented by Royce and Boehm, other methodologies have …

An analysis of the current strength of the academic relationship with the aerospace industry
… to R&D; and engineering personnel at the Rolls-Royce facility in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rolls-Royce was chosen as the focal point for this study due to their large employment population, R&D; capabilities, and the breadth of their manufacturing abilities. The data obtained from the survey …

Prediction of transitional boundary layer properties for CFD software in engineering flows
… and also the varying pressure gradient Rolls Royce T3C flows. The method gives good prediction of skin friction and transition length when the start of transition was in zero and favourable pressure gradient flows, but the transition length was always under predicted when the start of …

Metabolic flux analysis of Escherichia coli MG1655 under octanoic acid (C8) stress
… has been proven by membrane fluidity study (L. Royce, L. Jarboe, unpublished data) as well as transcriptome (L. Royce, L. Jarboe, unpublished data) and proteomic (M Rodriquez, R. Gonzalez, unpublished data) data. Besides, the other reason for low ratio of NAD+/NADH is that the electron transport …

Computational study of hub corner stall in an axial compressor rotor
… the Deverson rotor were made available by Rolls-Royce for comparison with the 3-D calculation results. The q-L turbulence model predicted the existence of the hub comer stall, but under predicted the size of the corner stall. It failed to predict the radial migration of the associated loss core. …

A commercial and militarized 737 system and subsystem level analysis: a systems engineering modeling and simulation approach
… the two systems will be modeled within the Rolls-Royce PowerFlow toolset. The PowerFlow toolset gives a high fidelity simulation of internal performance of aircraft subsystems. Using this tool, it will be possible to determine power loads required for the various subsystems. The PowerFlow tool …

Development of a Novel Probe for Engine Ingestion Sampling in Parallel With Initial Developments of a High-speed Particle-laden Jet
… after the first compressor stage of a Rolls-Royce Allison Model 250 turboshaft engine. The engine was not used in this investigation; rather, a rig that creates a particle-laden jet was developed in order to determine probe sampling sensitivity with respect to varying angles of attack and …

An image processing technique for erosion analysis on compressor blade geometry
… detection. These methods are tested on a Rolls-Royce M250-C20B turboshaft engine, in which full-scale engine testing is performed to study particle ingestion effects on performance. The results showed a <1% uncertainty for blade geometry measurements, with the total chord also having a 1% …

The development of a hybrid simulation modelling approach based on agents and discrete-event modelling
… (which is currently the subject of a Rolls-Royce patent application) which draws on the strengths of both agent and discrete-event paradigms. In order to combine agent roles and discrete event processes, a new model was implemented using a three-layered architecture. A full fleet simulation …

INVESTIGATING THE DETERMINANTS AND ENDOGENOUS INFLUENCES OF ENVIRONMENTAL REPUTATION
… OF ENVIRONMENTAL REPUTATION MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Royce D. Burnett This study investigates (1) the determinants of a firm’s environmental reputation and (2) the impact of this reputation on employee productivity and financial performance. I extend existing work in this area by focusing on both the …

Housing Patterns, Academic Performance and School Choice: An Inquiry into the Relocation Experiences of African-American Families
… often associated with educational inequality (Royce, 2009). The historical oppression and racial injustices in society challenges us to think more critically about education, curriculum and the role segregated housing patterns plays in perpetuating systematic educational inequality. Using …

Development and validation of a combustion model for a fuel cell off-gas burner
… to a gas turbine has been developed by Rolls-Royce Fuel Cell Systems. As part of the cycle, a fraction of the unreacted fuel (the off-gas) and oxidizer streams is reacted in a burner, which is the main source of pollutant formation. In this thesis a computational model of the burner has been …
