A Dynamical Systems Approach Towards Modeling the Rapid Pressure Strain Correlation
(2011-08-08)
In this study, the behavior of pressure in the Rapid Distortion Limit, along with its
concomitant modeling, are addressed. In the first part of the work, the role of pressure in
the initiation, propagation and suppression ...
Development of a Pulse Modulator for Active Flow Control in Turbomachinery
(2011-08-08)
In todays highly maneuverable jet aircraft designs, aircraft are required to have a propulsion system that can operate during sudden accelerations and rapid changes in angle-of-attack. Consequently, the compressor of the ...
On Coating Durability of Polymer Coated Sheet Metal under Plastic Deformation
(2011-08-08)
Polymer coated sheet metal components find diverse applications in many industries. The manufacturing of the components generally involves forming of sheet metal into the desired shape and coating of the formed part with ...
Criteria Combinations in the Personality Disorders: Challenges Associated with a Polythetic Diagnostic System
(2011-08-08)
Converging research on the diagnostic criteria for personality disorders (PDs) reveals that most criteria have different psychometric properties. This finding is inconsistent with the DSM-IV-TR PD diagnostic system, which ...
Determination and Characterization of Ice Propagation Mechanisms on Surfaces Undergoing Dropwise Condensation
(2011-08-08)
The mechanisms responsible for ice propagation on surfaces undergoing dropwise
condensation have been determined and characterized. Based on experimental data
acquired non-invasively with high speed quantitative microscopy, ...
Difference Between Hispanic Adolescent Males in Alternative and Regular Education Placement
(2011-08-08)
Researchers have identified numerous risk and protective factors that might provide
insight into the academic difficulties and success that Hispanic adolescents experience.
Maladjusted outcomes cannot be attributed to a ...
Phenotypic and Molecular Genetic Analysis of Reproductive Stage Heat Tolerance in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)
(2011-08-08)
Heat stress adversely affects wheat production in many regions of the world and is
particularly detrimental during reproductive development. The objective of this study
was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) ...
Bridging the Gap between Network and Project Selection Levels in Pavement Management
(2011-08-08)
Pavement management is one of the primary responsibilities for departments of transportation and other municipalities across the country. Efficient and proper use of taxpayer dollars to preserve and improve the existing ...
Technology Characterization Models and Their Use in Designing Complex Systems
(2011-08-08)
When systems designers are making decisions about which components or technologies to select for a design, they often use experience or intuition to select one technology over another. Additionally, developers of new ...
Utilizing Animal Waste Amendments to Impaired Rangeland Soils to Reduce Runoff
(2011-08-08)
Composted biological wastes contain vital plant nutrients that assist in plant growth as well as contain organic matter that promotes good soil conditions; both aid in rangeland restoration. Most importantly, it has the ...
