U.S. Metropolitan Spatial Structure and Employment Growth
(2014-08-13)This study explores the influence of US metropolitan spatial structure evolution on regional employment growth rate. The first part of this study investigates the evolution of US metropolitan spatial structures from 2000 ... -
U.S. newspaper coverage of immigration in 2004: a content analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This study examined the U.S. newspaper coverage of immigration in 2004. Previous studies have focused on the ideological implication of news coverage, showing that the news frames conveyed elites?? racism toward immigrants. ... -
U.S. Science Journalists' Views and Uses of Online Reader Comments: A Qualitative Study
(2014-09-02)Online comments have provided a forum for readers to interact with one another on the websites of newspapers, magazines, and other publications. Readers have come to expect comments, but many people, including some ... -
U.S. southeastern shrimp and reef fish resources and their management
(2009-05-15)Catch rates of target and non-target species from commercial shrimp and reef fish fisheries operating in the U.S. southeastern region and associated fishing practices are provided in relation to an environmentally sound ... -
Ubiquitous Growth of Paleoarchean Biofilms Recorded in White Chert Bands of the Buck Reef Chert
(2014-12-11)The 3.42 Ga Buck Reef Chert (Kromberg Formation, Barberton greenstone belt, South Africa) contains a geobiological record of microbial mats confined to the photic zone of anoxic Archean oceans. In order to better understand ... -
Ultimate capacity of suction caisson in normally and lightly overconsolidated clays
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Petroleum exploration and production in recent years have moved into increasingly deeper water off the continental shelf. Some of these facilities are anchored in water depths in excess of 1000 meters. Exploration and ... -
Ultimate Limit State Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns for Use in Performance-Based Analysis and Design
(2010-10-12)The design of reinforced concrete structures for extreme events requires accurate predictions of the ultimate rotational capacity of critical sections, which is dictated by the failure mechanisms of shear, hoop fracture, ... -
Ultra Low Power IEEE 802.15.4/ZIGBEE Compliant Transceiver
(2011-02-22)Low power wireless communications is the most demanding request among all wireless users. A battery life that can survive for years without being replaced, makes it realistic to implement many applications where the battery ... -
Ultra wideband antenna array processing under spatial aliasing
(2009-05-15)Given a certain transmission frequency, Shannon spatial sampling limit de?nes an upper bound for the antenna element spacing. Beyond this bound, the exceeded ambiguity avoids correct estimation of the signal parameters ... -
Ultracapacitor Boosted Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle
(2010-01-14)With the escalating number of vehicles on the road, great concerns are drawn to the large amount of fossil fuels they use and the detrimental environmental impacts from their emissions. A lot of research and development ... -
Ultrafast Cooperative Phenomena in Coherently Prepared Media: From Superfluorescence to Coherent Raman Scattering and Applications
(2012-07-16)Technological progress in commercializing ultrafast lasers and detectors has allowed realization of cooperative processes on an ultrashort time scale, which demand a re-evaluation of the conventional cooperative phenomena ... -
Ultrafast Laser Induced Thermo-Elasto-Visco-Plastodynamics in Single Crystalline Silicon
(2011-02-22)A comprehensive model for describing the fundamental mechanism dictating the interaction of ultrafast laser pulse with single crystalline silicon wafer is formulated. The need for establishing the feasibility of employing ... -
Ultrafast Optical Pulses: Synthesis and Applications
(2013-12-11)This dissertation is devoted to ultrafast waveform synthesis using coherent Raman sidebands with the assistance of pulse shapers based on acousto-optic programmable dispersive ?lter (AOPDF) or deformable mirror (DM). ... -
Ultrametric Fewnomial Theory
(2011-02-22)An ultrametric field is a field that is locally compact as a metric space with respect to a non-archimedean absolute value. The main topic of this dissertation is to study roots of polynomials over such fields. If we ... -
Ultrapdeep water blowouts: COMASim dynamic kill simulator validation and best practices recommendations
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The petroleum industry is in a constant state of change. Few industries have advanced as far technologically as the petroleum industry has in its relatively brief existence. The produced products in the oil and gas industry ... -
Ultrasensitive Magnetometry and Imaging with NV Diamond
(2011-08-08)NV centers in a diamond are proving themselves to be good building blocks for quantum information, electron spin resonance (ESR) imaging, and sensor applications. The key feature of the NV is that it has an electron spin ... -
ULTRASHORT LASER PULSE PROPAGATION IN WATER
(2010-01-16)We simulate ultrashort pulse propagation through water by numerical methods, which is a kind of optical communication research. Ultrashort pulses have been known to have non Beer-Lambert behavior, whereas continuous waves ... -
