Wave Properties of 2019 Southern SSW Event
No full textSudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) events are extreme increases in polar stratospheric temperatures (10s of Kelvins) over several days. They happen nearly yearly in the Northern Hemisphere, but they’re rare in the Southern.
Planetary Waves (PWs) are large-scale perturbations of the atmospheric dynamical structure that extend coherently around a full longitude circle. (A. K. Smith, 2003)
The exact relationship between SSWs and PWs is not known, but in September 2019, there was a Southern Hemispheric SSW (2nd ever recorded) which coincided with a strong PW activity. In this investigation, we examined the PW to better understand whether this PW activity extended into the mesosphere, and what the properties of this wave are
Women\u27s Safe House in Ethiopia
No full textThis is the reality faced by numerous women and their children seeking refuge in safe houses throughout Ethiopia. Since 2022, the country has been engulfed in a brutal civil war. Rebel forces from the northern Tigray region have pushed back against the Ethiopian government, resulting in devastating bombings of cities and villages, claiming tens, if not hundreds of thousands of lives. The government\u27s blockade in Tigray has severely restricted access to essential resources such as food, medicine, electricity, and communication, leaving 17 million people in dire need of assistance and resulting in widespread displacement. Amidst this turmoil, there have been reports of war crimes, including pervasive sexual violence, perpetuated by all sides. United Nations experts have reported the increasing vulnerability of women and girls in the Tigray, Afar, and Amhar regions to abduction and trafficking for sexual exploitation as they flee the conflict
Contemporary Korean Photographers Reestablishing Cultural and Individual Gender Identity in Modern-Day South Korea

Simulating Low Gravity Particle Dynamics
No full textLunar and Martian dust can pose a serious risk to astronauts and equipment due to the abrasive nature. A better understanding of how dust particles behave in low gravity is crucial in minimizing risks for future NASA Lunar and Martian missions. Existing methods are too expensive for detailed studies. We are developing an experimental platform that offers an affordable and robust way to study low gravity particle- laden flow. In this novel approach, the total body force on a dust particle is a proxy for gravitational force and can be controlled by imparting a vertical coulomb force on a charged particle in an electric field
Offshore Wind Farm Pycnocline Mixing From Varied Flow Types
No full textAs the demand for sustainable low carbon energy grows, offshore wind farms (OWFs) are becoming increasingly popular and are being pushed into stratified regions where a pycnocline exists (Figure 1). These wind farms may cause turbulent mixing of the pycnocline, which will harm the phytoplankton ecosystem. This project quantifies pycnocline mixing to gain knowledge of effective methods for mitigating harmful effects

Symmetric Dual-Buck Front-End Current Source Converter With Low Common-Mode EMI
No full textCommon-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) is one of the most vexing issues with pulse-width modulated (PWM) power converters and is further exacerbated by adoption of wide bandgap (WBG) devices. To tackle the challenge, this paper proposes a dual-buck DC-DC converter with symmetric circuit topology and gate signal implementation. Such topology is fed to a series-connected current source inverter (CSI) to form a buck-boost type current-source converter (CSC) system. The unique circuit topology and gate signal arrangement make the proposed CSC achieve inherent CM voltage cancellation and consequently leads to significantly lower CM EMI than conventional CSC, while maintaining CSC’s benefits such as reduced output dv/dt and higher fault-tolerance. An experimental setup has been built to comparatively evaluate the proposed converter, with results showing more than 20 dB (100 times) CM EMI reduction than conventional converters from 150 kHz to 2 MHz
A Dyadic Analysis of Fat Talk and Body Esteem Amongst Romantic Couples
Get PDFDue to high levels of body objectification within society, many individuals feel a strong need to improve their bodies. This mindset can lead individuals to speak negatively about their body, which is referred to as fat talk. This study examines the relationship between fat talk on one\u27s own and their romantic partner\u27s body esteem. Meaning, it is proposed that speaking negatively about one\u27s body will impact not only their own body esteem, but also their romantic partner\u27s body esteem. Data were collected from 112 participants (56 dyads). The results of the data supported both hypotheses, demonstrating that one\u27s fat talk can indeed harm the body esteem of oneself and their romantic partner. In the final section of the thesis, result application, future research, and limitations of the study are discussed
