Porous nano and micro crystalline tin oxide films were deposited by RF Magnetron Sputtering and doctor blade techniques, respectively. Electrical resistance and impedance spectroscopy measurements, as a function of temperature and atmosphere, were performed in order to determine the influence of the microstructure and working conditions over the electrical response of the sensors. The conductiv...

Title of Dissertation: CFD Based Unsteady Aerodynamic Modeling for Rotor Aeroelastic Analysis Jayanarayanan Sitaraman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2003 Dissertation directed by: Associate Professor James D. Baeder Department of Aerospace Engineering A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis is developed for 3-D rotor unsteady aerodynamic load prediction. It is then coupled to a rotor structural a...

Title of Dissertation: Individual Blade Control for Vibration Reduction of a Helicopter with Dissimilar Blades Beatrice Roget, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Inderjit Chopra Department of Aerospace Engineering A control method is proposed to reduce vibrations in helicopters using active trailing-edge flaps on the rotor blades. The novelty of the method is that ea...

the doctor-patient relationship (dpr) is a complex concept in the medical sociology in which patients voluntarily approach a doctor and thus become a part of a contract in which they tends to abide with the doctor’s guidance. globally, the dpr has changed drastically over the years owing to the commercialization and privatization of the health sector. furthermore, the dynamics of the dpr has sh...

Nano-composite copper-zinc oxide (NCCZO) was deposited on borosilicate glass using a novel sol-gel/doctor-blade technique. The photocatalyst was prepared from copper acetylacetonate, zinc acetylacetonate, monoethanolamine (MEA) and citric acid monohydrate at 75 oC, aged for 1 d and annealed at 650 oC. The properties of the NCCZO nano-composite were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fi...
