The US Unconventional Monetary Policy and International Capital Flows to Emerging Market Economies
… and its normalization phases, including both tapering and quantitative tightening (QT). Using a panel data model with fixed effects, this dissertation finds that the spillover effects of US monetary policy during the QE period have a more pronounced effect on EME capital inflows than do those …

Effect of Reynolds Number and Geometry on the Undulatory Hydrodynamics of Tapered Elastic Plates
… interaction computational model. Thickness tapering leads to the acoustic black hole effect at the propulsor trailing edge which minimizes wave reflection and promotes the development of the traveling waves propagating along the propulsor length. By leveraging the acoustic black hole effect, …

Issues affecting complications after knee or hip arthroplasty
… opioids and their willingness for opioid tapering. Both groups shared similar perspectives regarding their acceptability of opioid tapering, management of pain and stakeholders that need addressing when considering changes in pain management and opioid tapering. Interestingly, chronic pain …

Fiber compaction and wetout in tapered resin injection pultrusion manufacturing
… reinforcement. This work predicts the impact of tapering the walls of the injection chamber on the minimum injection pressure necessary to achieve complete wetout. Even a small tapering of the injection chamber walls causes a significant impact on the minimum injection pressure required to …

The Effectiveness of Biopsychosocial Interventions at the Dallas Spinal Rehabilitation Center: Applying the NIDRR Logic Model
… 226 patients, 150 patients required medication tapering at admission. The average age of patients was 47 years old (SD= 9.74). The DSRC assigned patients to one of two groups after assessing the severity of their chronic pain curbing their ADL limitations, their social functioning, and their …

Analysis of the CNV waveform in the time and frequency domains.
… (OAR) in the time domain and the use of data tapering and Fourier Transforms to give frequency domain amplitude and phase spectra.Two OAR methods were compared: a non-recursive method using ordinary least squares parameter estimation developed by Nichols and a recursive least squares technique …

Pulsatile blood flow in the arteries
… is modeled as circular in cross section and tapering with increasing distance from the heart. The governing equations are solved numerically using a finite difference form of the Navier-Stokes equations and the Alternating Direction Implicit method. The purpose of this study is to solve a …

Molecular simulation of liquid crystal polymer flow : a wavelet-finite element analysis
… to LCP problems. Simulations of LCP flow in a tapering contraction geometry showed that the Doi model predicts intermediate concentrations to be most effective in producing flow-alignment of molecular distributions. At higher concentrations, tumbling is found to be widespread in the tapering …

Essays On The Impacts Of Quantitative Easing On Financial Markets
… one month after the fourth announcement of tapering by the Fed. Results show that markets have a larger response to tapering news than easing news, particularly from official Fed press releases. Additionally, these emerging market economies also react to conventional monetary policy of …

Tapered Splice for Efficient Power Coupling to Small-Core Nonlinear Fibers
… to verify our theoretical results is shown. The tapering process is thoroughly discussed. The spectrum of a tunable laser passing through a splice shows how modes interact with each other during the tapering process. We successfully fabricated very low loss tapers with extremely small diameters. …

A STUDY OF COMPRESSION DIE DESIGN ON THE COMPACTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL POWDER
… of die diameter, die lining material and die tapering configurations on tablet compaction. Tablets from various materials with different deformation characteristics using a compaction simulator. In-depth analyses of the resulting compaction profiles and tablet physicomechanical properties were …

Coarse grained molecular dynamic of block copolymer directed self assembly on topographic substrate
… variation, line space variation, roughness and tapering effect were investigated. It gives the direction of optimizing the substrate structure.

Shape Optimization of Microfiber Composite Energy Harvesters
… with length of the beam and with an inverse tapering (increasing width) of the beam from the root to the tip. This approach presents a systematic way to design energy harvesters and can serve as the basis for the conceptual design of energy harvester for applications such as morphing wings, …

Acetylene-filled pressure broadened short photonic microcells
… with fractional accuracy of 7.7×10⁻⁸. By using a tapering technique to seal the microcells, we were able to achieve high transmission efficiency of 80% and moderate accuracy of 10 MHz (1[sigma]) in finding the line center. This approaches that of the NIST SRM 2517a 10 MHz (2[sigma]) accuracy. …

Optimising the plastic optical fibre evanescent field biofilm sensor
… for contact lens protein removal systems. Tapering multimode POF was a desirable goal as this increases the proportion of light coupled into the core available for sensing purposes, to achieve a more sensitive evanescent field POF sensor. Optically clear and consistent smooth tapering of …

Optical micro- and nanofibres: Higher mode generation and particle manipulation studies
… Following LP11 mode loss when exponentially tapering 125μm diameter fibre, two mode fibre with a cladding diameter of 80μm is selected fir testing since it is more suitable for satisfying the adiabatic criteria for fibre tapering. Proving a fruitful endeavour, experiments show a transmission …

Modifiable Stability and Maneuverability of High Speed Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) Through Bioinspired Control Fins
… vehicle, maneuverability increased, with effects tapering off at 0.2 BL ahead of the vehicle's center of buoyancy. This investigation explored how rigid underwater vehicles could benefit from added fins, without drastically changing the design of current vehicles.
