Analytical and Experimental Study of Annular Two-Phase Flow Friction Pressure Drop Under Microgravity
(2011-02-22)
Two-phase liquid-gas flow has a wide variety of applications in space, including active thermal control systems, high-power communications satellites, heat pumps and space nuclear reactors. Two-phase systems have many ...
Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium Risk Assessment during the Production of Marinated Beef Inside Skirts and Tri-tip Roasts
(2010-10-12)
This study was conducted to determine the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium in marinade that was used to vacuum tumble beef inside skirts and beef tri-tip roasts. The depth of penetration of ...
Multi-Scale Indentation Hardness Testing; A Correlation and Model
(2010-01-20)
This thesis presents the research results of a correlation and model based on nano
and macroindentation hardness measurements. The materials used to develop and test
the correlation include bulk tantalum and O1 tool steel. ...
Contemporary Terrorist Organizations and the Threat to Michael Walzer’s Defense of a Supreme Emergency Exemption from Jus in Bello
(2010-10-12)
Michael Walzer has forwarded an argument that defends an exemption from adherence to Jus in Bello when a state finds itself in a situation of "supreme emergency." The argument is morally problematic due to the fact that ...
Engineering Geologic Assessment of Risk to Visitors: Canyon Lake Gorge, Texas
(2010-07-14)
Presented here are the results of a study of geological hazards conducted in Canyon
Lake Gorge of Central Texas. Canyon Lake Gorge formed in 2002 when the emergency
spillway of Canyon Lake was overtopped. Since that time, ...
Contribution to the Study of Fracture in Amorphous Polymers: Experiments and Modeling
(2011-02-22)
Glassy polymers are extensively used to make all kinds of structural components.
Polymers, such as epoxies, are often chosen as matrices in polymer matrix composites
(PMC). Ever since the 1960s, these types of composites ...
DESIGN OF THE TRANSCONDUCTANCE AMPLIFIER FOR FREQUENCY DOMAIN SAMPLING RECEIVER
(2010-01-16)
In this work, the circuit implementation of the front-end for Frequency Domain
(FD) Sampling Receiver is presented. Shooting for two different applications, two
transconductance amplifiers are designed.
A high linear ...
Vibration and Structural Response of Hybrid Wind Turbine Blades
(2011-02-22)
Renewable energy is a serious alternative to deliver the energy needs of an increasing world population and improve economic activity. Wind energy provides better environmental and economic benefits in comparison with the ...
An Empirical Test of the Relationship between Sustainability and Urban Form Based on Indicator Comparisons using Sustainlane Sustainable City Rankings
(2011-02-22)
Sustainable development is one of the greatest challenges to urban planning in
the 21st century. Current patterns of urban development, called byspecially sprawl, and
human activity have led to environmental degradation ...
Aircraft Observations of Sub-cloud Aerosol and Convective Cloud Physical Properties
(2011-02-22)
This research focuses on aircraft observational studies of aerosol-cloud interactions in cumulus clouds. The data were collected in the summer of 2004, the spring of 2007 and the mid-winter and spring of 2008 in Texas, ...
