Coefficient Space Properties and a Schur Algebra Generalization 

Turner, David (2005-12-15)
Let K be an infinite field and Gamma = GL_(n)(K). If we linearly extend the natural action of Gamma on the set E of n-dimensional column vectors over K to the group algebra KGamma, then E becomes a KGamma-module. We then ...

A Comparison of Two Proofs of Yamamoto's Theorem Relating Eigenvalue Moduli and Singular Values of a Matrix 

Pell, Melinda (2006-12-15)
We examine two proofs of Yamamoto’s theorem regarding the asymptotic relationship between singular values and eigenvalue moduli of a matrix. The first proof is by T. Yamamoto in 1967 and makes use of compound matrices. ...

Experimental Characterization of the Temperature Dependence of the Piezoresistive Coefficients of Silicon 

Cho, Chun (2007-08-15)
In this work, the dependence of the silicon piezoresistive coefficients p11, p12, and p44 on temperature is investigated. Experimental calibration results for the piezoresistive coefficients of silicon as a function of ...

Exploring Associations Between Multiple Risk-Factors and Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders, Across Multiple Body Segments in an Automotive Manufacturing Environment 

Bandekar, Anjaneya (2021-04-12)  ETD File Embargoed
The causes of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are multifactorial, with the exact pathogenesis being unknown. Current literature provides information on several studies that investigate the role of physical ...

Measurement of Absorption Coefficient of Road Surfaces Using Impedance Tube Method 

Vissamraju, Krishnasudha (2005-08-15)
The absorption coefficient of dense and porous road surfaces has been measured using core samples with 4 and 6-inch diameter impedance tubes. The 6-inch tube allows the absorption of a large core sample surface to be ...

Poroelasticity 

Affane, Aji (2007-08-15)
Poroelasticity is the study of elastic deformation of porous materials saturated with a fluid and the coupling between the fluid pressure and the solid deformation. Considerable progress has been made in formulating ...

A Study of Polya's Enumeration Theorem 

Williams, Elizabeth (2005-08-15)
The controversial lemma, known most commonly as Burnside's Lemma, is stated and proven. The influential Polya's Enumeration Theorem is stated and proven. Computations using Polya's Enumeration Theorem are discussed and ...
