Multiscale Methods For Accelerating Explicit Dynamics Computations In Solid Mechanics
De Frias Garcia, Gabriel (2013-05-26)In this work we tackle two novel approaches for the solution of multiscale solid mechanics problems. In the first one a selective mass scaling approach is presented that can significantly reduce the computational cost in ... -
Multiscale Modeling and Design of Mechanochemically Active Interfaces
Manivannan, Meenakshi Sundaram (2017-08-30)Mechanochemically active systems experience chemical reactions when subjected to critical levels of mechanical force and have applications in self-healing and early warning systems. One approach towards developing such ... -
MULTISCALE MODELING AND MACHINE LEARNING STUDIES OF THE DIFFUSION OF SILICON AND INTRINSIC DEFECTS IN III-V SEMICONDUCTORS
Reveil, Mardochee (2018-08-30)Integrating III-V semiconductors into next-generation silicon-based processing is a promising alternative being considered as a route to faster and more energyefficient electronic devices. These III-V materials will be ... -
MULTISCALE MODELING OF BIOMASS THERMOCHEMICAL CONVERSION
Goyal, Himanshu (2018-08-30)Biomass is a sustainable and renewable energy source with a huge potential to provide different types of gaseous and liquid biofuels as well as other specialty chemicals. Among several existing techniques to convert biomass ... -
Multiscale Modeling Of Selectin-Mediated Neutrophil Transport And Adhesion
Rocheleau, Anne (2015-08-17)Inflammation is a key physiological process, important in infections, autoimmune diseases, and chronic diseases. During inflammation, circulating neutrophils roll on, and eventually tether to, the endothelial lining of ... -
MULTISCALE MODELING OF SOLIDIFICATION OF MULTI-COMPONENT ALLOYS
Tan, Lijian (2007-07-20)Modeling solidification in the micro-scale is computationally intensive. To overcome this difficulty, a method combining features of front-tracking methods and fixed-domain methods is developed. To explicitly track the ... -
Multiscale Simulation Of Platelet Aggregation And Adhesion Under Flow In 3D
Wang, Weiwei (2014-05-25)Hemostasis is a self-defensive mechanism that prevents injured blood vessels from excessive bleeding. Its initiation is mediated by physical contact between flowing platelets, which are ellipsoid-shaped cell fragmentations ... -
Multiscale Simulation Of Reaction Dynamics In Chemical, Biological And Materials Systems
Harris, Leonard (2010-04-09)In this dissertation, we introduce a novel accelerated-stochastic simulation method, known as the ‘partitioned-leaping algorithm’ (PLA), for efficiently simulating chemical reaction networks. The technique is multiscale in ... -
A Multitude Of Little Worries: The Construction Of Clarence S. Stein'S Hillside Homes 1934 To 1935
Kolb, Caitlin (2014-01-27)This thesis explores the construction of Hillside Homes, one of the first publically funded lower-income housing developments in the United States. It was built in New York City during the depths of the Great Depression ... -
Murine In Vitro Model Of The Blood-Brain Barrier Using A Nanofabricated Poly(Hydroxy Styrene) Membrane And Identification Of Therapeutic Biomarkers Of Alzheimer'S Disease In Relation To Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy
Shayan, Gilda (2010-08-05)Currently, there are over 5.3 million people in the United States diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, with the disease being the sixth leading cause of death in the country. Current drugs on the market for the treatment ... -
Musical Intentionality: Between Objects And Meaning
Lee, Mike (2016-02-01)How do the physical realities of bodily gestures, instrumental and other technologies relate to musical meanings as constructed by humans? What enables such relations, and on what terms do we analyze them? These questions ... -
The Musical Uncanny In Early Nineteenth-Century German Culture
Lalonde, Amanda (2014-05-25) -
Mutatis Mutandis
Weaver, David (2009-10-13)Mutatis Mutandis is a work for orchestra scored for piccolo, two flutes, three oboes with third doubling on english horn, two clarinets and a bass clarinet, three bassoons with third doubling on contrabassoon, four horns, ... -
Mute Eloquence: Politics of Silence in French Enlightenment Literature
Schoene, Adam (2019-08-30)This dissertation interrogates the political force of silence in the fictional and philosophical writings of Montesquieu, Diderot, Rousseau, and Staël around the profound moment of change of the Enlightenment, revealing a ... -
Mutinous Muteness: Radicalizing Illegibility In Twentieth-Century African American Literature
Diran, Ingrid (2016-02-01)Mutinous Muteness revisits W.E.B. Du Bois's idea of double-consciousness for its implications both as a theory of divided racialized experience and as a mostly unacknowledged critique of the presumed unity of its white ... -
MutS[gamma] FUNCTION DURING MOUSE MEIOSIS
Milano, Carolyn Rose (2019-05-30)MutSγ is a highly conserved heterodimer comprised of MSH4 (MutS homolog 4) and MSH5 (MutS homolog 5). MutSγ complex is widely conserved across many lineages of eukaryotes with few exceptions. Unlike other MutS complexes, ... -
Mutual dependencies of nominal and clausal syntax in Ch'ol
Little, Carol-Rose (2020-08)This dissertation investigates nominal and clausal structure in Ch'ol, a Mayan language of southern Mexico. I take as an empirical basis the interpretation of bare nouns and extraction asymmetries in Ch'ol to argue for a ... -
MY BOSS IS YOUNGER, LESS EDUCATED, AND HAS A SHORTER TENURE: WHEN AND WHY STATUS (IN)CONGRUENCE INFLUENCES SUBORDINATES’ FAIRNESS PERCEPTIONS
Li, Huisi (2020-05)Supervisors are usually older, more educated, and of longer tenure than their subordinates, a situation known as status congruence. However, increasingly subordinates experience status incongruence, in which their supervisors ... -
