Abstract:

This project examines the systemic causes of transfer shock, the phenomenon wherein students transitioning onto a university campus from a community college experience a drop in their grade point average (GPA) in their first semester of transfer. Previous research has focused on student characteristics that are predictive of transfer shock, but few researchers have approached this topic from the perspective of the students themselves. This study seeks to understand how transfer students experience the initial transition onto the four-year university campus and the interactions with managerial

Abstract:

Respiratory distress syndrome is the major cause of mortality in premature babies. Increasing numbers of neonates are now surviving the disease due to advances in techniques used in neonatal intensive care units. Mechanical ventilation is an essential part of the treatment for respiratory distress syndrome and is an area in which improvements and modifications are constantly being made. In the early 1980's a new infant ventilator was introduced involving ventilation by a distal jet. As yet, the mechanisms by which the distal jet ventilator enhances gas exchange are unknown.

Abstract:

We study the shock waves in relativistic chiral matter. We argue that the conventional Rankine-Hugoinot relations are modified due to the presence of chiral transport phenomena. We show that the entropy discontinuity in a weak shock wave is quadratic in the pressure discontinuity when the effect of chiral transport becomes sufficiently large. We also show that rarefaction shock waves, which do not exist in usual nonchiral fluids, can appear in chiral matter. The direction of shock wave propagation is found to be completely determined by the direction of the vorticity and the chirality of fermi

Abstract:

Recent events including deliberate attacks and accidental explosions have highlighted the need for greater research in structural response to blast loading. One of the primary research focuses has been on the prevention of progressive collapse of structures. The response of vertical load transferring members, such as columns, is of particular importance to progressive collapse prevention. In order to understand and predict the behaviour of the global structure during and after a blast loading event, a greater understanding of column behaviour must be developed. Currently there is a limited amo

1AbstractCurved shock theory (CST) has been extended to apply to axisymmetric shocks in non-uniform flow. A general formula has been derived for the vorticity jump across a doubly curved shock in non-uniform flow. Influence coefficient forms of equations for the gradients and vorticity show the effect of changing pre-shock conditions. CST has been applied to a series of simple shock flows and to the orientation of the sonic surface at the rear face of a doubly curved shock. This orientation is significant in determining the occurrence of embedded shocks in the post-shock flow. Application of C

Space equipment is often subjected to mechanical shocks. Some devices like electronics are sensitive to shocks, and they can easily be damaged. To protect these devices, it is important to study shock penetrations in space structures. The Finite Element Method is an effective tool to simulate response to transient excitations. Unlike Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) which can ensure sufficient accuracy in high frequency range, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is limited to low frequency range, but has no spatial restrictions.

It is important to ensure that vulnerable structures (federal and provincial offices, military structures, embassies, etc) are blast resistant to safeguard life and critical infrastructure. In the wake of recent malicious attacks and accidental explosions, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure that columns in structures are properly detailed to provide the ductility and continuity necessary to prevent progressive collapse.

The effects of fin-leading-edge radius and sweep angle on peak heating rates due to shock-shock interactions were investigated in the NASA Langley Research Center 20-inch Mach 6 Air Tunnel. The fin model leading edges, which represent cylindrical leading edges or struts on hypersonic vehicles, were varied from 0.25 inches to 0.75 inches in radius. A 9° wedge generated a planar oblique shock at 16.7° to the flow that intersected the fin bow shock, producing a shock-shock interaction that impinged on the fin leading edge. The fin angle of attack was varied from 0° (normal to the free-stream)

The potential role of fast electrons is one of the major unknowns in shock ignition inertial con- finement fusion. Of particular interest is the possibility that they may play a beneficial role in the generation of the ignitor shock by contributing to the ablation pressure. Here, some of the fundamental relations governing fast electron driven shock wave generation in dense plasmas are determined. To that end, a 1D planar hybrid model of fast electron transport through dense plasmas is presented. It is found that, using quasi-realistic electron populations, it is possible to generate shock wav

Abstract:

Shock is defined as inadequate delivery or utilization of oxygen by the body tissues. Currently measured cardiorespiratory variables however, indicate decompensation only when patients become (near) shocked. Belated intervention often fails to reverse injury, leading to organ dysfunction and failure. Precise monitoring of the adequacy of tissue perfusion thus represents a major deficiency in clinical practice, particularly in the critically ill. As mitochondria utilize >90% of the oxygen consumed by the body, predominantly for ATP production, there is an obvious logic in targeting this organel

Abstract:

This study investigates a novel stiffness control strategy applied to the problem of shock isolation. This is based on the principle that the stiffness and mass are the principal physical properties that control the passive system shock response. The problem of shock response control is divided in two stages. Firstly, the maximum response whilst a shock is applied is considered, and the effectiveness of a switchable isolation stiffness strategy is evaluated. This strategy aims to reduce the shock response by switching the stiffness to a low value during the shock input. Two different models ar

We also begin developing a method to obtain an explicit, analytical representation of the Evans function. We demonstrate the capabilities of this method with compressible Navier-Stokes and extend our results to 2-D MHD. Finally, using compressible Navie

We present an investigation on the effects of magnetic dissipation and cooling due to spontaneous radiative emission in multifluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks. Ideal MHD allows n small amplitude waves and therefore we can associate a shock with each. But, only non-linear fast and slow shocks are evolutionary. On smaller scales the structure ofshocks is determined by the non-ideal MHD equations and from neutral cooling. Therefore in a dense weakly ionised medium there exist three generic types of shock; C-type, J-type and C*-type. The shooting method can be used to calculate simple steady
