1 Furse, Cynthia M.Women in engineering: statistical analysis of ACT data and proposed procedure to reverse trendWomen have historically been underrepresented both in college majors and professional careers in STEM fields. This disparity can be observed in many countries, though it is most evident in the US. In this paper we analyze historical ACT data over a 30-year span and correlate gender differences ...2011
2 Furse, Cynthia M.Novel inverse methods for wire fault detection and diagnosisAbstract?In recent years, methods used to locate and diagnose wiring faults have increased in complexity and variety. However, there is much research yet to take place in order to develop high resolution models for accurately analysis of the effects of small faults, gradual impedance discontinuities...2011
3 Myers, Chris J.Learning genetic regulatory network connectivity from time series dataAbstract-Recent experimental advances facilitate the collection of time series data that indicate which genes in a cell are expressed. This information can be used to understand the genetic regulatory network that generates the data. Typically, Bayesian analysis approaches are applied which neglect ...2011
4 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Nonequilibrium composition profiles of alloy quantum dots and their correlation with the growth modeEquilibrium composition profiles (CPs) of epitaxial alloy quantum dots (QDs) are well established theoretically. However nonequilibrium CPs may occur experimentally. Using an atomistic-strain-model Monte Carlo simulation method, we demonstrate a striking correlation between the nonequilibrium CPs of...2011
5 Furse, Cynthia M.A stochastic FDTD method for statistically varying biological tissuesTHE analysis of radio wave absorption is a continuing concern for the cell phone industry due to health effects (and associated regulations) of the person using the cell phone [1,2]. The amount of allowable power absorbed has a strong impact on the design of the phone (antenna, electromagnetic inte...2011
6 Furse, Cynthia M.Leaky fields from damaged shieldsIn a world where wireless devices appear to dominate society, it is wires that truly rule and connect our lives. Certainly the spread of cellular phones, Bluetooth technology, wireless sensor networks, and advances of ion-lithium battery capabilities have made common daily devices more disconnecte...2011
7 Furse, Cynthia M.Antenna optimization for vehicular environmentsAbstract? This paper presents a multi-antenna optimization for communication in a Rockwell T-39 Sabreliner, a mid-size aircraft with a metallic body. The aircraft channel at 2.45 GHz is modeled using site specific 3D ray-tracing software. Added effects from system details including the antenna radi...2011
8 Furse, Cynthia M.A study on the efficiency of transparent patch antennas designed from conductive oxide filmsAbstract? A study on the efficiency of transparent patch antennas designed from indium tin oxide (ITO) films is presented to provide design guidelines for patch type transparent antennas. The trade-offs between optical transparency and antenna efficiency is analyzed by considering typical materia...2011
9 Furse, Cynthia M.A comparative study on two types of transparent patch antennasProperties of optically transparent patch antennas designed from meshed conductor and transparent conductive films are studied and compared. It is shown that at S band, meshed antenna provides the best antenna efficiency for the highest transparency. It is practical to design a 90% transparent mesh...2011
10 Stringfellow, Gerald B.Phase separation in strained epitaxial InGaN islandsPhase separation (PS) produces InN composition gradients in InGaN islands, which may be important for light emitting diodes, solar cells, and lasers. Thus, the control of PS is critical, and the kinetic growth process, which is suggested to be important for controlling PS in Stranski-Krastanov islan...2011
11 Simpson, Jamesina J.FDTD calculations of the diffraction coefficient of vibrating wedgesThe full-vector Maxwell's equations finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to calculate diffraction coefficients of vibrating conducting and dielectric wedges. Two-dimensional FDTD models of right-angle wedges are constructed to include total-field scattered-field incident plane-wav...2011-01-01
12 Furse, Cynthia M.Measurement and modeling of multiuser multiantenna system in aircraft in the presence of electromagnetic noise and interferenceThis paper evaluates the accuracy with which the performance of a multi-user multi-antenna system can be predicted with and without considering co-channel interference and noise (Gaussian, α- stable and Cauchy) using a site-specific 3D ray-tracing algorithm as well as with statistical models with G...2011-01-01
13 Simpson, Jamesina J.A magnetic field-independent absorbing boundary condition for magnetized cold plasmaAn effective absorbing boundary condition (ABC) based on the second-order approximations of Engquist and Majda's wave equations is presented for terminating three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) models employing the E-J collocated magnetized cold plasma algorithm. Numerical tests de...2011-01-01
14 Simpson, Jamesina J.Detection of embedded ultra-subwavelength-thin dielectric features using elongated photonic nanojetsPhotonic nanojets have been previously shown (both theoretically and experimentally) to be highly sensitive to the presence of an ultra-subwavelength nanoscale particle within the nanojet. In the present work, photonic nanojets elongated by almost an order of magnitude (relative to the latest previo...2011-01-01
15 Simpson, Jamesina J.On the possibility of high-level transient coronal mass ejection-induced ionospheric current coupling to electric power grids[1] Short-time (<10 s) ionospheric current fluctuations are hypothesized to occur due to a coronal mass ejection that can induce high‐level transient voltages on long overhead power transmission lines. This hypothesis is first supported by reviewing published literature and recent magnetometer mea...2011-01-01
16 Furse, Cynthia M.Reflectometry for structural health monitoringAging wiring and structural cables in buildings, aircraft and transportation systems, consumer products, industrial machinery, etc. are among the most significant potential causes of catastrophic failure and maintenance cost in these structures. Smart wire health monitoring can therefore have a subs...2011-01-01
