Jim Crow's Legacy: Segregation Stress Syndrome
(2012-07-16)This dissertation is based on a qualitative research project that documents the experiences of nearly 100 elderly African Americans who lived in the total institution of Jim Crow. The collective long lasting psychological ... -
Jitter Tracking Bandwidth Optimization Using Active-Inductor-Based Bandpass Filtering in High-speed Forwarded Clock Transceivers
(2012-07-16)Inter-chip input-output (I/O) communication bandwidth demand, which rapidly scaled with integrated circuit scaling, requires high performance I/O links to achieve a per pin data rate as high as multi-Gb/s. The design of ... -
Jitter-Tolerance and Blocker-Tolerance of Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converters for Saw-Less Multi-Standard Receivers
(2012-12-05)The quest for multi-standard and software-defined radio (SDR) receivers calls for high flexibility in the receiver building-blocks so that to accommodate several wireless services using a single receiver chain in mobile ... -
Job satisfaction and job performance: is the relationship spurious?
(2009-05-15)The link between job satisfaction and job performance is one of the most studied relationships in industrial/organizational psychology. Meta-analysis (Judge, Thoresen, Bono, & Patton, 2001) has estimated the magnitude of ... -

John Dewey's theory of inquiry: an interpretation of a classical American approach to logic
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)During the 20th century, John Dewey introduced a new idea with respect to the nature of logical theory: He presented a portrait of logic as a theory about how organisms interact and maintain an integrated balance between ... -
John Stuart Mill's Sanction Utilitarianism: A Philosophical and Historical Interpretation
(2014-04-24)This dissertation argues for a particular interpretation of John Stuart Mill?s utilitarianism, namely that Mill is best read as a sanction utilitarian. In general, scholars commonly interpret Mill as some type of act or ... -
JOIDES Resolution Drill Ship Drill into Indian Ridge MOHO Hole Cleaning Study
(2014-05-03)The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) uses a variety of technology for use in its deep water scientific research, including the Joint Oceanographic Institutions for Deep Earth Sampling (JOIDES) Resolution (JR) drill ... -
Joint Equalization and Decoding via Convex Optimization
(2012-07-16)The unifying theme of this dissertation is the development of new solutions for decoding and inference problems based on convex optimization methods. Th first part considers the joint detection and decoding problem for ... -
Joint Inversion of Production and Temperature Data Illuminates Vertical Permeability Distribution in Deep Reservoirs
(2012-10-19)Characterization of connectivity in compartmentalized deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GoM) reservoirs is an outstanding challenge of the industry that can significantly impact the development planning and recovery from these ... -

Joint source channel coding for non-ergodic channels: the distortion signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) exponent perspective
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)We study the problem of communicating a discrete time analog source over a channel such that the resulting distortion is minimized. For ergodic channels, Shannon showed that separate source and channel coding is optimal. ... -
Joint synchronization and calibration of multi-channel transform-domain charge sampling receivers
