Using two- and three-dimensional kinematic analysis to compare functional outcomes in patients who have undergone facial reanimation surgery
DownloadFall 2010
The current study was designed to: (1) compare the sensitivity of a 2-dimensional video-based system with a 3-dimensional optical system, and (2) investigate movement on the affected and unaffected side of the face during the production of various functional movement tasks in 5 patients who had...

The Effect of Perturbations on Resistance to Sliding in Second Order Moments Using Conventional Ligated Brackets Versus Passive Self Ligated Brackets
DownloadFall 2013
Abstract Objectives: A novel frictional and perturbation device was used to investigate the role of vibrations on resistance to sliding (RS) in conventional and passive ligated brackets Methods: 150 3M Victory Series twins (0.022 slot) and 150 Damon Q brackets (0.022 slot) were tested using an...

The Effect of Conventional Elastomers on Force and Moment of a Self-Ligating Orthodontic Bracket with Second-Order Angulation in the Dry and Wet States evaluated through a new 3D Friction Device
DownloadSpring 2013
Objective: A new three-dimensional friction device was used to investigate the effect of conventional elastomers on force and moment of a self-ligating orthodontic bracket with second-order angulation during a simulated retraction. Methods: An 0.018x0.025-in stainless steel archwire was drawn...

Localization of Global Discourse and the Breakdown of the Washington Consensus (WC): A Case Study of Korean Higher Education Reform (1993-2012)
DownloadFall 2015
In my dissertation paper, I sought the political implications of neo-liberal education reform with the case of recent Korean higher education reforms. I first explored the macro-causal relationship of neo-liberal higher education reform in transnational social relations, and then the political...

Evaluation of Different Winter Road Conditions and Effectiveness of Winter Road Maintenance Operations
DownloadFall 2014
This study uses friction measurements of Real Time Traction Tool (RT3)-Curve to characterize different road conditions, evaluate the effect of winter maintenance operations, and identify influential parameters. The reliability of RT3-Curve device was verified by a speed-dependency analysis....

Spring 2011
Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used materials in most industries. Excellent corrosion resistance of stainless steel is due to the formation of an oxide film on the surface (passive film), which protects the material from continuous corrosion attacks. When subjected to an attack...

Spring 2014
This work provides a guideline for gecko inspired dry adhesive design and simulation. Mechanical property testing for several polymers commonly used in gecko adhesives (Kraton G1657 thermoplastic elastomer, ST-1060, and ST-1087 polyurethane elastomers) allowed hyperelastic and viscoelastic...

Applications of nonautonomous infinite-dimensional systems control theory for parabolic PDEs
DownloadFall 2013
Parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are used as models of transport-reaction phenomena in a variety of different industrial chemical and materials engineering processes, and can yield precise descriptions of process variables with complex temporal and spatially dependent system...
