Experimental Measurement of a Model Pipeline Dredge Entrance Loss Coefficient and Modification of a Spreadsheet for Estimating Model Dredge Performance
(2014-04-17)
Cutter suction dredges are used in a multitude of scenarios, as they are mobile and efficient. One such situation includes dredge sites where debris could be present. In a location with the possibility of debris impeding ...
Phenotyping Drought Tolerance in Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, L.)
(2014-04-30)
Cotton plant breeders need well-defined phenotypic parameters by which they
can select drought tolerant lines as well as correlate phenotypes to allelic polymorphisms
in the cotton genome. Soil-moisture availability is ...
Non-Destructive Testing of Subsurface Infrastructure using Induced Polarization and Electrical Resistivity Imaging
(2013-07-05)
As of September 2007, there were over 67,000 U.S. bridges in the National Bridge Inventory classified as having unknown foundations. The bridges spanning rivers are of critical importance due to the risks of potential ...
Application of the Continuous EUR Method to Estimate Reserves in Unconventional Gas Reservoirs
(2010-10-12)
Reserves estimation in unconventional (low/ultra-low permeability) reservoirs has become a topic of increased interest as more of these resources are being developed, especially in North America. The estimation of reserves ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Iso-Reticular Metal-Organic Frameworks and Their Applications for Gas Separations
(2011-10-21)
Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted tremendous
interest due to their potential applications in gas-storage, gas separation, gas sensing, and
catalysis. MOFs consist of metal-oxygen polyhedera ...
Numerical Investigation of Flow Fields and Forces for 2-D Squeeze Film Dampers
(2011-08-08)
A numerical method is used to predict flow fields and forces for squeeze film dampers (SFDs). A two dimensional SFD is modeled with different amplitudes and frequencies of the journal orbiting inside the wall. In addition ...
Systematics, Evolution, and Taxonomy of the Genus Aphelinus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
(2016-07-27)
Aphelinus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) is a genus of parasitoid wasps that has a long history of use in biological control programs against aphids. Past research shows that the classification of Aphelinus is greatly complicated ...
Field Notes, Middle America (1956-1968)

Microfluidic Acoustic System to Generate Aged Yeast for Cell Aging Studies
(2015-05-07)
The mechanisms and causes of aging, the greatest risk factor of disease, are poorly understood. This lack of knowledge—specifically in relation to the aging of single biological cells—results from limitations in the methods ...
Ductile Fracture under Combined Tension and Shear: Theory and Applications
(2019-04-11)
Fracture causes enormous material and energy waste per annum, with large economical, industrial and environmental impact. In particular, ductile failure under shear-dominated loading pervades in many areas of manufacturing, ...
