Relationships among perceived work-life balance, resources, and the well-being of working parents
Creators: name: Jang, Soo Jung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This two-part study utilizes quantitative and qualitative data to examine how working parents cope with work-life demands. The quantitative component of the study uses a secondary data set from the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce (a nationally representative sample of working adults). The research design employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the associations among the perceptions of workplace support, supervisory support, work-schedule flexibility, work-life balance, and personal well-being. In this study, employee well-being is an endogenous latent construct. Perceived workplace support and perceived supervisory support are latent exogenous constructs. The mediating variables are employees' perceptions of the flexibility of their work schedules and the state of their work-life balance. For the qualitative component of the study, 27 in-depth interviews were conducted in New Jersey with working parents who had a chronically ill or disabled child. The two components of the study contribute to an understanding of the effects of formal and informal workplace supports in enhancing the well-being of employees with children in general and those with a chronically ill or disabled child in particular. The quantitative study is unique in its examination of work-schedule flexibility and work-life balance as mediating variables and furthers our understanding of which sets of workplace policies and supports are positively associated with employee well-being. Supplementing the quantitative data, the in-depth interviews provide an examination of how and why parents utilize such supports in dealing with the challenging situation of caring for a chronically ill or disabled child. This information will assist social workers in developing more effective intervention efforts in the workplace, with the ultimate goal of increasing employees' quality of life. Specifically, the results of this study will help social workers who work within employee assistance programs to understand how company policies affect employees and how to more effectively intervene to support positive employee well-being and work-life balance. Finally, the findings will inform public policymakers as they continue to develop policies that positively affect employees and their work environment.

Evaluating the performance characteristics of a virtual machine used on simultaneous multi-threaded (SMT) processors
Creators: name: Yim, Hiu Shan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Virtualization of computing hardware is one technique which can make possible the use of fewer physical computers, thus lowering resource consumption.  Today, as in the past, hardware performance remains a major bottleneck to virtual machine performance.  Simultaneous multithreaded, or SMT, processors provide thread-level parallelism and are being used to overcome the performance limitations of virtual machines.  These same processors are also being used to decrease the cost of computing systems since less hardware and power is required when compared with multiple CPU systems.  Virtual machines should benefit from the properties of SMT processors since they have a common cache and parallel execution threads.  As a result, using virtual machines in combination with SMT processors should be an efficient way to maintain or increase performance, save money and reduce physical hardware requirements.  This study attempts to determine if an improvement on virtual machine performance exists through the use of an SMT processor.  If the performance of an SMT processor-based system is on-par with several independent computers or multiple CPU systems, then the use SMT would be an efficient way for organizations to achieve their performance requirements at a reduced cost.  This thesis evaluates the performance of a virtual machine used with and without SMT.  This study shows that a definite, measurable performance improvement exists when a virtual machine is run with an SMT processor and that better virtual machine performance is achieved as load increases.  Then a performance modeling method is suggested for various combinations of SMT and virtual machines in order to predict and maximize system performance and achieve proper load balancing.
Jitter reduction circuits to reduce the bit-error rate of high-speed serializer-deserializer (SERDES) circuits
Creators: name: Venkatanarayanan, Hari Vijay
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: A new jitter reduction technique is proposed for reducing the timing jitter in a serializer-deserializer (SERDES) circuit. The technique involves transmit and receive side jitter reducer circuits made of only 14 and 20 transistors, respectively. They reduce the jitter in the clock generated by the phase-locked-loop (PLL) at the transmit side, and the jitter between the recovered clock and the serial data at the receive side. The jitter reducers are designed using 70nm Berkeley Predictive process models and tested with various types of input jitter. In the case of the transmit side jitter reducer, the jitter is reduced, on average, by 62.24%. The performance of the jitter reducer is compared with the adaptive PLL technique proposed by Xia et al. [39] in terms of the peak-to-peak jitter reduction. The peak-to-peak jitter is reduced, on average, by 45.51% using the transmit side jitter reducer. For the receive side jitter reducer, the jitter is reduced, on average, by 35.88%. The SERDES circuit is then tested for its jitter performance under three conditions: (1) no jitter reducers are present, (2) the receive side jitter reducer is present and (3) both transmit and receive side jitter reducers are present. In each of these cases, the bit-error rate (BER) is computed probabilistically and is shown to improve from 8.3 x 10-2 to 6.44 x 10-20, for input RMS periodic jitter (PJ) of 71.77 ps. Finally, a SERDES test scheme is used to test the jitter reducers for their stuck-at faults and then to perform the receiver jitter tolerance and BER tests.

From Anti-Oedipus to Anti-Narcissus
Creators: name: Sanches, Aline
Publisher: name: Critical Hermeneutics
Year: 2024

description: According to Deleuze and Guattari ([1972] 2009), the Oedipus complex is a historically produced social symptom that captures desire in neurotic and familial, capitalist, and Christian forms. From this perspective, narcissism is not a primordial condition, which precedes the Oedipus complex phase, but is its consequence and effect, reversing the logic of human development postulated by Psychoanalysis. The aim here is to carry on with Deleuze and Guattari’s criticisms of Psychoanalysis, approaching narcissism as a phenomenon manufactured by this same civilization that aims to combat it. If in Anti-Oedipus, Deleuze and Guattari demonstrate that the Oedipus complex is not a natural and universal path to the formations of the unconscious, but is produced by the civilized capitalist machine, Narcissus is now placed in the spotlight, unfolding the narratives of psychoanalytic theory about a supposed anti-social human nature.

Misinterpretations of the Conception of Psychoanalysis According to Merleau-Ponty
Creators: name: Cardozo Severo, Daniel
Publisher: name: Critical Hermeneutics
Year: 2024

description: This article is part of ongoing research on Merleau-Ponty’s interpretation of Psychoanalysis. The study proceeds from the thesis that the philosopher has an original intuition, which reveals important and innovative points to Philosophy and Psychoanalysis. The work presented here addresses one of the courses taught by Merleau-Ponty at the Sorbonne from 1949 to 1952 that deals with the adult’s view of the child. On this subject, the philosopher presents the limits of the current philosophical and scientific conceptions, and concerning the purpose of our study, he presents misconceptions, not only about the child but about Psychoanalysis; interpretations of Freudian concepts that contradict what is original and innovative in Psychoanalysis, and how this generates a misconception about the child, reducing Psychoanalysis to a reactionary theory.

Molecular mobility and oxygen permeability in amorphous β-lactoglobulin films
Creators: name: Sundaresan, Kasi Visalakshi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Edible films and coatings are developed to extend the shelf life of food products. Our overall objective is to understand how molecular mobility modulates diffusion rates and thus chemical reactivity in films made from amorphous β-lactoglobulin. The phosphorescence emission spectra and lifetimes of the triplet probe erythrosin B embedded in the β-Lg films provide measures of the modes, rates, and distribution of molecular mobility in the film, providing the molecular detail necessary to connect food quality and stability to molecular structure and mobility. The mobility contours generated from this research provided us with information about the onset temperature and level of molecular mobility required to support permeability of atmospheric oxygen.  In β-Lg -- based binary matrices, sugars (sucrose, trehalose, maltose), plasticizers (glycerol, sorbitol, maltitol and PEG-400), fatty acids (palmitic acid, caprylic acid) and protein (BSA) were selected to investigate how variations in composition influence the molecular mobility and oxygen permeability in amorphous β-Lg matrix. Further more complicated β-Lg -- based ternary matrices (maltose and maltitol) and (PEG and sucrose) were generated inorder to gain a deeper understanding of edible films. In pure β-Lg films there was linear correlation between molecular mobility and oxygen permeability. Various additives showed different results with respect to mobility and permeability. The addition of sucrose, maltose, maltitol and trehalose greatly reduced the mobility and the permeability of the β-Lg matrix. Glycerol exhibited an anti-plasticization effect and showed decreased mobility at a molar ratio of 1:1 glycerol/ β-Lg.  PEG greatly enhanced the permeability of β-Lg matrix. Fatty acids palmitic acid and caprylic acid had a rigidification effect on the matrix with no change in permeability. We were able to detect dynamic synergies in β-Lg maltose and maltitol mixtures, whereby these sugar- polyol mixtures at equal ratios anti-plasticized the β-Lg matrix and at unequal ratios plasticized the matrix.  The tertiary matrix comprising of β-Lg, PEG 400 and sucrose brought about a substantial reduction in the permeability. A better understanding of the mobility in these complex matrices will help improve the effectiveness of β-Lg in barrier applications in real food systems.

The Boundaries of the Unconscious
Creators: name: Gewehr, Rodrigo Barros
Publisher: name: Critical Hermeneutics
Year: 2024

description: The psyché-soma difference (Bartoš 2006) is one of the structuring themes not only of Western thought but also of modern psychology, which inherits this debate from the philosophical tradition and the religious tradition. Through a journey with early texts by Henri Bergson, including the psychology and metaphysics classes he taught at the Lycée de Clermont-Ferrand in 1887-1888, as well as the psychophysical parallelism of 1901, we address the difficulties pointed out in the monist position and its reverberations in contemporary psychology, which are commanded by neuroscience and cognitive psychology. We intend to highlight the impasses of the monist position that continue to be re-edited. In fact, despite countless technological advances concerning the issue of the nature of this duality, the debates seem to have stopped at the assertions that Bergson already denounced at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, which denotes the strong presence of ontological options that largely overlap with the empirical inspiration of modern science. What are the determining lines in the resistance to this debate? Why do advances in research technologies not correspond to advances in the argument about this duality? Are there practical consequences for the reading of reality when adopting the monist principle, which remains sovereign in Western thought albeit unproven? These questions will guide the reflection we begin in this work.

Year: 2008

description: This Ph.D thesis describes and reviews the state-of-the-start 4H-SiC power junction field-effect transistors (JFET). The purpose of thesis research includes design and fabrication of TIVJFET and investigations on the improvements on existing processing technologies, targeting simpler, reliable process that improves device performance. Fabrication results are presented. Among the results is a normally-off 10 kV, 106 mΩcm2 TIVJFET with a record-high value for figure of-merit (FOM) (VB2/R SP-ON) of 943 MW/cm2 among all normally-off SiC FETs.Processing technologies underwent significant improvements. Simpler and more reliable processes were developed, including Bosch dry etching, Ni self-aligned silicide, thick gate-overlay and oxide trench-fill. All new processes were confirmed in test TIVJFET fabrication and results were presented.A 430V normally-off TIVJFET of very low R SP-ON of 1.6mΩcm2 was achieved using new developed process. This device has a channel resistance is 0.5mΩcm2, corresponding to only one third of channel resistance reported in [25]. This R SP-ON is the lowest among all 400V class normally-off SiC FETs reported to date.A 1568V normally-on TIVJFET was fabricated using new developed processes. RON-SP was 2.0mΩcm2 when current gain was over 12000 (VGS=2.5V). And RON-SP was 1.75mΩcm2 when current gain was over 120 (VGS=3V). This R SP_ON is the lowest among all 1500V class normally-on SiC FETs reported to date. Comparing with the device reported in [16], at the same current gain of 100, this R SP_ON corresponded to a 37% reduction.

A country where everyone was happy: incest, trauma, and the missing father in the memory of post-war Spain
Creators: name: Gragera De Leon, Flor

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: My dissertation explores the ways in which the traumatic penetration of Francoism pervades and is reformulated in Spanish contemporary fiction and cinema by women through symbolic incest. I develop the concept of "ideological incest" as a critical tool to read Franco's penetration of his infantilized daughter-Spain, which models the interdependent relationship between the State and citizens through the perverse "love parameters" of incest. While the novella El sur stages the trauma of autarky without palliatives, the novel La veu melodiosa and the film Cuando vuelvas a mi lado challenge the trauma of Francoism, giving way to the theorization of "trauma's flexibility," related to the idea of "working through" and of mourning.I contend that a reading of traumatic symptoms alongside historical analysis serves to illuminate trauma as a concept that can be reformulated through the awareness of and emphasis on generational distance. Incest is the principal textual device that I explore, and it is also the axis around which the idea of the mutual seduction of State and home revolves. Incest is redefined in such a degree that it is no longer confined to the realm of the unspeakable. The incest taboo is transformed through monstrosity (La veu melodiosa), and the reversal of the Oedipal paradigm (Cuando vuelvas a mi lado), making the construction of memory possible. The path of violence at work in the national unconscious expressed through cultural manifestations can be contested through fiction and psychoanalysis. Such resistance does not entail closure on the past or its cleansing; rather, following Jo Labanyi's trope of haunting, it makes a dialogue with those who were forgotten possible.

description: More applications are designed as server programs, many of which are expected to run 24x7. Ensuring the quality of error handling code is vital to the high availability that are expected from them.  However, error handling code is hard to explore, review and test, for the reason that 1) it is scattered all over the system, often not at all organized; 2) it is impossible to trigger during runtime by simply manipulating the program inputs or configurations.The goal of our research is to provide tools that helps programmers explore, review and test error handling code in a structured way to boost the system availability and maintainability.The contributions of this thesis are the following:* Definition of the problem of white box robustness testing for Java-based server applications, including an exception *def-catch*coverage metric and testing framework.* A new program analysis that enables the above mentioned testing methodology, which allows compiler-generated instrumentation to guide the fault injection and to record the recovery code exercised. (An injected fault is experienced as a Java exception.)  The analysis (i) identifies the *exception-flow `def-uses'* to be tested in this manner, (ii) determines the kind of fault to be requested at a program point, and (iii) finds appropriate locations for code instrumentation.* Empirical studies of several variants of the analysis algorithms, which demonstrate increased precision in obtaining good test coverage on a set of server benchmarks. These studies include aggregate accuracy and timing information, with discussions of cases in whichstatic analysis is difficult.* A program understanding tool that visualizes discovered *exception-flow `def-use'* links.* A novel program analysis that discovers semantic relations between the *exception-flow `def-uses'* links and combines them into chains, in order to reveal the propagation path of an exception from its original to its final handler.* An initial case study of testing exception propagation chains.

Pd/C-catalyzed Suzuki cross- and self- couplings & the development of a lab-scale hydrogenation system

description: Suzuki couplings have become an efficient and clean strategy for the preparation of biologically active functionalized biphenyls, which are important building blocks for pharmaceutical and agricultural compounds. Among all catalysts of choice for Suzuki couplings, palladium on carbon (Pd/C) is most frequently used for industrial applications due to its high catalytic activity, low cost and easy removal from the reaction mixture. Using a model coupling reaction of biphenylacetic acid, we intended to provide a thorough understanding of Pd/C-catalyzed Suzuki couplings for a straightforward industrial implementation.A detailed investigation of the reaction parameters was carried out in Chapter 2. The experimental observations indicate that excess amount of the borate is helpful to accelerate the reaction and 2 moles eq. of a strong base is the best choice for the reaction. Furthermore, our results suggest that transmetalation is the rate-limiting step of the Pd/C-catalyzed Suzuki couplings and also show that [OH-] is a critical factor affecting the reaction rate.In Chapter 3, the mechanism of Pd-leaching from Pd/C was investigated. The filtration test was used to prove that oxidative addition of aryl-bromides is the main cause for Pd-leaching, which is independent of the reaction solvent and temperature. In addition, the oxidative addition of aryl-borates is another cause for Pd-leaching. PVPy adsorption studies suggest that the activity of Pd/C is mainly due to leached Pd. Furthermore, PVPy was proven to be a good reagent for complete removal of Pd-residuals from the reaction mixture.In Chapter 4, homocoupling of arylboronic acids was successfully carried out with Pd/C in water/2-propanol (9:1 in volume ratio) under air, to obtain symmetric biaryls in good yield. This novel system was discovered during Pd-leaching studies and optimized in our work. The experimental observations suggest that higher water fractions in the co-solvent and higher reaction temperature are beneficial for the reaction. DFT calculations suggest that the overall reactivity of the different arylboronic acids is independent of the oxidative addition of Pd to the arylboronic acid.Lastly, we successfully established a lab-scale hydrogenation system at Rutgers University to carry out chiral hydrogenation, which is presented in Chapter 5. The system allows reactions operated under 120 bars at a wide range of reaction temperatures (-80~350??C).

description: Behind the effort to harmonise the dual registers of Freudian discourse, Ricoeur expresses the desire not to give in to a reductionist and naturalising conception of the subject. Thanks to the coordinated work between phenomenology and hermeneutics, he achieved a radical recasting of the reality of the unconscious. He worked around psychoanalysis to develop his philosophy of the human being, but his anthropological conception of maturity was still open to comparison with the various sciences of the mind and brain.

Performance of a self-correlating synchronization and detection scheme for IR-UWB in multi-user multipathenvironments
Creators: name: Chandrasekaran, Nirmal

description: Owing to the very low duty cycle of impulse like ultra wideband signals, timing acquisition with acceptable accuracy and complexity has been a constant topic of research. Most acquisition techniques can be broadly classified under two categories: Training based algorithms, which require a specific training sequence at the start of communication and - Blind Acquisition, which relies on the correlation between successive data symbols transmitted and cyclostationarity of the transmitted signal. Amidst algorithms which use a clean template or a noiseless reference, a recent class of techniques named 'Timing based on Dirty Templates' (TDT) has been proposed.These algorithms rely on the correlation of two adjacent portions of the noisy received signal. One portion of the noisy received signal acts as a template for the other, thus improving the synchronization speeds and accuracy by making the acquisition independent of training sequences. A novel blind TDT algorithm, which we refer to as Agrawal Blind Synchronization scheme (ABS), was proposed for IR-UWB signals. Based on the design of the time hopping code, significant improvements in acquisition speeds have been demonstrated using the ABS scheme, compared to existing blind acquisition schemes.The objective of this thesis is to analyze the performance capabilities of the selfcorrelating ABS scheme in multi-user multipath environments. Adopting the best performing time hopping pattern, we investigate the effect of multiple interferers on absolute timing error, under various SNR scenarios as well as multiple symbols used for timing acquisition. Link performance is evaluated through bit-error-rate (BER) analysis under various system conditions. Since we use differential methods for timing acquisition as well as symbol detection, significant energy capture can be achieved in a dense multipath scenario due to self-Raking. We also propose modifications to conventional differential detectors to avoid self-Raking of interfering pulses. As a comparison to differential detectors, the detection performance of an ideal Rake receiver was tested with the ABS scheme. Our results indicate that the timing error performance the ABS scheme and thus the BER performance of the detection phase deteriorate notably with increase in the number of users in the system. The effective number of interferers is the limiting factor in both absolute timing error and BER performance. In differential detection, the effect of interference is so large it dominates over the effect of timing errors. The use of the ABS scheme is advantageous when Rake receivers are used, since timing error has a drastic effect of degrading the BER performance. The improvements of using ABS scheme in multi-user multi-path environments become more prominent in the case of ideal Rake reception, as compared to differential detection.
Tunable ZnO surface acoustic wave devices based on acoustoelectric interaction

description: Tunable surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices have been attracting considerable research efforts, as they are highly desired in advanced communication systems by offering versatile signal processing capability. Among various tuning mechanisms, the perturbation of the electrical boundary condition based on the acoustoelectric interaction in a semiconducting/piezoelectric multilayer structure is a promising approach to realize tunable SAW devices with low bias, large tunability, and small device dimension. To reduce the fabrication complexity and enhance the device reliability, the monolithic device structure is preferable.This dissertation addresses the design and development of the tunable ZnO SAW devices based on the acoustoelectric interaction. Epitaxial ZnO and MgxZn1-xO multilayer structures grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on r-Al2O3 substrates are used as the basic structure, which offer advantages as high coupling coefficient and multimode SAW generation. The device related processing techniques, including wet chemical and dry etching of ZnO and MgxZn1-xO films, are investigated with respect to the etch rate, etch profile, surface morphology and process induced damage. The maximal 1:1 pattern edge slope has been achieved. A prototype of ZnO UV SAW device has been demonstrated using semiconducting-piezoelectric ZnO multilayer structure, which enables the wireless output for sensor network. The interaction of the SAW with the UV induced carriers in the semiconducting ZnO layer results in a phase shift and an insertion loss change, as functions of the incident light wavelength and power. A phase shift of 107o is achieved at 365 nm for a light power of 2.32 mW/ cm2.A prototype of ZnO based voltage controlled multi-mode tunable SAW device has been demonstrated through the integration of a depletion-type MIS structure (Al/SiO2/semiconducting ZnO) and a piezoelectric ZnO/r-Al2O3 system. The acoustic velocity tunability is achieved by changing the sheet conductivity of the semiconducting channel through the gate biasing. Due to the in-plane piezoelectric anisotropy of the ZnO/r-Al2O3 system, the device can be operated with both Sezawa and Love mode for gaseous and liquid sensing, respectively. Under -18 V bias, 420o and 277.3o phase shifts are achieved for Sezawa and Love mode operation, respectively.

Structure-function relationship and regulation of organic anion transporters (OATS)
Creators: name: Zhou, Fanfan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The organic anion transporter (OAT) family has been identified to express in multiple human organs, such as kidney, liver, brain and placenta.  They mediate the absorption, distribution, and excretion of a diverse array of environmental toxins, and clinically important drugs and therefore are critical for the survival of mammalian species.  My research work has focused on the elucidation of the structure-function relationship and regulation of OATs. It was known that glycosylation of proteins play critical roles in many cell functions.  My studies have identified that the addition/acquisition of oligosaccharides but not the processing of the added oligosaccharides plays a critical role in the targeting of hOAT4 to the plasma membrane.  Processing of added oligosaccharides from mannose-rich type to complex type is important for enhancing the binding affinity of hOAT4 for its substrates.  According to the alignment of several OATs isolated from different species, my studies have explored several conserved important residues on human organic anion transporter 4 (hOAT4), which affect transporter function by impairing the trafficking of the transporter to the cell surface or its binding ability for the substrates. I have also characterized the organic anion transport system in rat and human placental cell lines, Hrp1 and Bewo, which has great significance in establishing the useful in vitro models for the studies of the transfer of nutrients and drugs between mother and the fetus and providing important information for the understanding of placental physiology and diseases.Furthermore, my studies have explored that organic anion transporter function can be regulated by protein kinase C and placental hormones.  I have investigated the differences between the interaction of PDZ proteins with hOAT4 in kidney cells and that in placental cells as well.  My data indicated that the interacting partners of hOAT4 in placenta may be different from that in kidney. The information obtained from my studies will be great significance to the development of clinically useful drugs and to the advancement of our understanding of the molecular, cellular, and clinical bases of renal, hepatic, neurological and fetal toxicity and diseases.
