Transfer of information : is relational processing the answer?
The present research focused on the transfer of information from a learning situation to a problem solving task. In particular, the effect of relational processing upon the transfer of information to the solution of insight problems was considered.The design of the study was a five by two factorial …

Development of ultra-broadband modulators
Optical signal modulation is a cornerstone of communication, allowing the transfer of information by electrically encoding data onto an optical carrier. Modulation with ultra-broadband capability enables the generation of arbitrary waveforms using the electro-optic effect. By separating an incoming …

Aeroelasticity of wings coupling Navier-Stokes aerodynamics with wing-box finite elements
… Earlier work involved time-accurate integration of modal structural models based on plate elements. A finite element model was developed to handle three-dimensional wing boxes, and incorporated into the flow solver without the need for modal analysis. Static condensation is performed on the …

Electrical Distribution Modeling:An Integration of Engineering Analysis and Geographic Information Systems
This thesis demonstrates the value of integrating electrical distribution engineering analysis with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The 37-Node IEEE Feeder model was used as the base distribution system in this study. It was modeled separately, both in software capable of unbalanced load-flow …

The Effects of Knowledge Transfer On Complex Problem Representation and Judgment in Auditing
An inherent aspect of an audit is the level of task complexity that junior auditors (staff and senior level associates) endure on a daily basis. This complexity directly impacts an auditor’s ability to form an appropriate problem representation, which in turn impacts judgment performance. One of …
