This paper explores popular economic, political, and social conceptions of the relationshipbetween income inequality and corruption. Contemporary politics have become hea[...]

This thesis details the development, performance, and analysis of tests for the dynamic performance evaluation for laser trackers. Laser trackers are large-scale measurin[...]

Online social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Gab is often used as the stage to deliver one's opinion for a particular group of people, a political party, etc. Sometime[...]

The importance of flexibility and stability on protein function has been recognized for over five decades. A protein must be flexible enough to mediate a reaction pathway[...]

This research pioneers formal combined plant and controller optimization (termed ``co-design") schemes for complex systems where accurate but expensive experiments are fu[...]

Freeform optics have traversed the gap from theoretical to practical application propelled by ultra-precision multi-axis machining, like diamond turning and milling. Util[...]

We present an order N method for calculating electrostatic interactions that has been integrated into the molecular dynamics portion of the TINKER Molecular Modeling pack[...]

Structural integrity of electric transmission poles is crucial for the reliability of power delivery. In some areas where blasting is used for mining or construction, the[...]

Machine spindle dynamics and (axis of rotation) error motions may vary as a function of spindle speed due to gyroscopic effects, changes in bearing preload, centrifugal f[...]

In linear dynamics, bounded linear operators over infinite-dimensional Banach spaces have been shown to be able to exhibit interesting characteristics including topologic[...]
