Show moreOne of the most difficult obstacles facing non-western nations is the issue of technology transfer. The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the how South Korea has succeeded through industrial upgrading through technology transfer in achieving the Han River Miracle- making it in 2011, the fourth largest economy in Asia and the 9th largest in the world. From 1910 to 1945, Korean modernization was continuously developed under the Japanese war economy and its military policy. Japanese capital, technology and entrepreneurs were transferred to Korea due to supplement the shortages of Japanese industries or to take advantage of the low labor costs in Korea in order to prepare for the Sino-Japanese War in 1936 and the Pacific War in 1941. There is no doubt that President Chung-Hee Park (1961-1979) was the architect of the Korean economic miracle. During his authoritarian regime, the government had played an important role in the creation and financing of the modern Korean industrial groupings, called the Chaebols. The government also intervened directly in the formation of their policies. In the 1980s, when the country embarked on financial liberalization, the degree of intervention started to decrease. And finally, the 1997 crisis will be examined, with special attention on the introduction of reforms required by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In the industrial arena, the focus will be on the rationalization policies undertaken to increase the total factor productivity (TFP). It will cover the currently important industries of steel, automobiles and semiconductors, as well as those promising industries which have led the development of South Korea's knowledge-intensive economy. An integral part of the xi ii analysis will study the repercussions of the 1997 financial reforms on both the large and small and medium-size industries. Conventional wisdom assumes that it was under President Park's rule that South Korea had its first experience with industrialization. This assumption, however, ignores the significant industrialization that took place during the colonial period. It also does not take into account the admittedly limited industrial development that took place during the time before the 1961 coup d'état, when civilian governments were in charge. The dissertation would shed light on these overlooked periods.

Show moreA method for the high-throughput non-photochemical laser induced nucleation of crystals from aged supersaturated solutions in which short high-intensity laser pulses are used to induce nucleation in an array or sequence aged supersaturated solutions. The laser reduces nucleation time and induces nucleation only in the area where the beam is focused or passes through, resulting in fewer nuclei than would be achieved by spontaneous nucleation. The high-throughput methodologies allow more crystals to grow in a given amount of time.

Show moreThis study examined the possible moderating effect of gender dyadic composition on the relationship between Leadership Empowering Behaviors (LEBs) and employee performance across 221 supervisor-subordinate dyads in a Fortune 500 Midwestern U.S. company. The relationships between LEBs and employee performance moderated by gender dyadic composition were examined, as well as possible group differences of LEB ratings between gender dyad group membership. The goal of this study was to test the moderating role of gender dyadic composition on the relationship between LEBs and employee performance. This study obtained both supervisor ratings of employee performance and employee ratings of LEBs, allowing for the use of multi-source data. Results supported the expected relationship between LEBs and employee performance but neither indications of a moderating effect by gender dyads were found, nor were there group differences in perceptions of LEBs. This study adds to the existing literature because previous research has predominantly focused on examining employee perceptions of LEBs and related outcomes, but this was the first study to explore the potential moderating effect of gender dyads in this relationship. Implications of this study are explored.

Show moreVoIP is increasingly becoming an alternative to the traditional PSTN for Telephony this is as a result of certain advantages and services offered by VoIP. VoIP will be considered able to fully replace PSTN if it can provide same or better Quality of Service and Security guaranty as PSTN. Delivering telephony services over (best-effort and connectionless) IP data network faces two main issues not experienced in PSTN, security and quality of service; security in the sense that telephone calls will be susceptible to attacks that are known in the Internet, quality of service in the sense that voice packets now have to compete with packets of other traffic for a limited bandwidth. Researches are ongoing in these two fields to make experience on VoIP similar to the traditional telephone. The focus of this thesis work is in the security aspect. SIP protocol has become one of the most popular signaling protocols used for VoIP, SIP architecture is an open architecture originally developed for trusted communications among trusted partners, and therefore much thought was not given to security. Adopting SIP as a main protocol used in VoIP in the Internet where there are where there are lots of hostile users calls for more ways to properly secure its use. The thesis work involves setting up of a SIP based VoIP network based on open source SIP telephony platforms to study various security issues in a SIP-Based VoIP network and experiment some proposed detection mechanism. The contribution of this work is to develop a graphical user interface in the UNIX environment using Java that makes the execution of the attack scenarios easy to carry out and observe.

Show moreA rectangular jet was excited by controlled unsteady fluid mass addition using two miniature fluidic jets placed on either side of its narrow dimension. The subharmonic of the primary's preferred jet column frequency [St(D-e) = fD(e)/U-J = 0.15] was forced in the antisymmetric mode because such forcing persists for longer downstream distances than the fundamental. Details of the phase-averaged flowfield, velocity gradient terms, velocity spectra, and the mean and fluctuating flowfields were documented. The fluidically excited mode grew and persisted in the flow beyond the potential core region. Unsteady fluid mass addition of 12% (4% momentum addition) per fluidic jet resulted in a 35% reduction of the potential core length and about a 60% increase in the normalized mass flux (percentages are with reference to the primary unforced jet). On the basis of the results, it appears that fluidic devices have the potential for use in shear flow control applications.

Show moreConventional approach in acquisition and reconstruction of images from frequency domain strictly follow the Nyquist sampling theorem. The principle states that the sampling frequency required for complete reconstruction of a signal is at least twice the maximum frequency of the original signal. This dissertation studies an emerging theory called Compressive Sensing or Compressive Sampling which goes against the conventional wisdom. Theoretically, it is possible to reconstruct images or signals accurately from a number of samples which is far smaller than the Nyquist samples. Compressive Sensing has proven to have farther implications than merely reducing sampling frequency of the signal. Possibility of new data acquisition methods from analog domain to digital form using fewer sensors, image acquisition using much smaller sensors array, to name a few. This novel theory combines sampling and compression methods thereby reducing the data acquisition resources, such as number of sensors, storage memory for collected samples and maximum operating frequency. This dissertation presents some insights into reconstruction of grey scale images and audio signals using OMP and CoSaMP algorithms. It also delves into some of the key mathematical insights underlying this new theory and explains some of the interactions between Compressive Sensing and related elds such as statistics, coding theory and theoretical computer science. viii
