The ratio of unemployment rates and fair employment: a reply to John Bradley
No full textJohn Bradley\u27s comments on Evaluation of the Ratio of Unemployment Rates as an Indicator of Fair Employment (Gudgin and Breen, 1996; henceforth G&B) reveal a thoroughgoing confusion about the debate to which the study seeks to contribute, the issue that the report sought to address, and the workings of the model on which our conclusions are based

Aluminum nitride microelectromechanical infrared detectors with integrated metamaterial absorbers
No full textThis work reports the development of uncooled spectrally selective mid-infrared (IR) detectors based on the seamless integration of metamaterial (MM) structures with microelectromechanical (MEMS) AlN resonators. Historically, uncooled absorbers have been limited in two key metrics: selectivity, the ability to distinguish distinct wavelengths of incident light, and sensitivity, the ability to detect low level amounts of radiation. In recent years, research has been done on improving these metrics using spectrally selective MM absorbers and highly sensitive MEMS detectors. In this thesis, the full hybridization of MM absorbers and MEMS resonators is demonstrated. The complete coverage of the resonator surface with both polarized and unpolarized MM results in high mid-IR absorption >80 % at an optimized spectral wavelength of 9.6 μm with a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of 1.02 μm without compromising resonator acoustic performance. A novel detector readout has also been implemented to boost sensitivity as well as to linearly convert incident IR power to a DC voltage for optimum integration into focal plane arrays (FPAs). A sensitivity metric called the temperature coefficient of reflection coefficient (TCΓ) is defined which is analogous to the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) described for conventional uncooled bolometer IR detectors. TCΓ values of 6% were measured, matching the state of the art TCR values of microbolometers which are typically 3-5%. Future optimization of device structure and fabrication can further increase the TCΓ value, showing promise for surpassing current microbolometer FPAs.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2019-08-01The student, Michael Breen, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-24 at 11:29.The student, Michael Breen, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-24 at 11:34.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-28 at 13:25.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11004 on 2017-09-29 at 10:45:26Made available in DSpace on 2017-09-29T17:45:19Z (GMT).

Simultaneous interplanetary scintillation and Heliospheric Imager observations of a coronal mass ejection
No full textWe describe simultaneous Interplanetary Scintillation (IPS) and STEREO Heliospheric Imager (HI) observations of a coronal mass ejection (CME) on 16 May 2007. Strong CME signatures were present throughout the IPS observation. The IPS raypath lay within the field-of-view of HI-1 on STEREO-A and comparison of the observations shows that the IPS measurements came from a region within a faint CME front observed by HI-1A. This front may represent the merging of two converging CMEs. Plane-of-sky velocity estimates based on time-height plots of the two converging CME structures were 325 kms?1 and 550 kms?1 for the leading and trailing fronts respectively. The plane-of-sky velocities determined from IPS ranged from 420 ± 10 kms?1 to 520 ± 20 kms?1. IPS results reveal the presence of micro-structure within the CME front which may represent interaction between the two separate CME events. This is the first time that it has been possible to interpret IPS observations of small-scale structure within an interplanetary CME in terms of the global structure of the event

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The Road to Federalism in Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka Finding the Middle Ground
No full textOne chapter only accessible online.Nations built on exclusion and assimilation, decades of civil war, widespread poverty, authoritarianism and the decline of democracy. Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are travelling a road to federalism. Institutions and ethnic identity have interacted to privilege some and marginalise others. But when the right conditions prevail, political equality can be restored. This book charts the origins and evolution of federalism and other approaches to the accommodation of minority ethnic groups in Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. It applies a historical institutionalism methodology to understand why federalism has been resisted, what causes it to be established and what design options are most likely to balance otherwise competing centripetal and centrifugal forces. Breen shows how Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka are finding a middle ground whereby deliberative and moderating institutions are combined with accommodating ones to support a political equality among groups and individuals
