Bouquet: a Satellite Constellation Visualization Program for Walkers and Lattice Flower Constellations
(2011-10-21)
The development of the Flower Constellation theory offers an expanded framework to utilize constellations of satellites for tangible interests. To realize the full potential of this theory, the beta version of Bouquet was ...
The Religious Foundations of Civic Virtue
(2011-10-21)
Scholarly accounts of the history of civic virtue in the modern era have with few
exceptions been wholly secular, discounting, ignoring, or even outright rejecting the role
religious thought has played in shaping the ...
Modeling Building Energy Use and HVAC Efficiency Improvements in Extreme Hot and Humid Regions
(2011-10-21)
An energy analysis was performed on the Texas A & M University at Qatar building in Doha, Qatar. The building and its HVAC systems were modeled using EnergyPlus. Building chilled water and electrical data were collected ...
An Efficient Supply Modulator for Linear Wideband RF Power Amplifiers
(2011-10-21)
Radio Frequency (RF) Power Amplifiers are responsible for a considerable amount of the power consumption in the entire transmitter-receiver (transceiver) of modern communication systems. The stringent linearity requirements ...
Heat Transfer Applications for the Stimulated Reservoir Volume
(2011-10-21)
Multistage hydraulic fracturing of horizontal wells continues to be a major technological tool in the oil and gas industry. Creation of multiple transverse fractures in shale gas has enabled production from very low ...
The Contribution of Self-discrepancy in the Relationship between Role Loss and Well-being in Older Adults
(2011-10-21)
The purpose of the study is to investigate how older adults adjust to getting older and the losses that come with aging. This study examines how E.T. Higgins's theory of self-discrepancy mediates the relationship between ...
Medical Hardware for the Space Environment: An Engineering Experience at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(2011-10-21)
The complexity and amount of medical hardware needed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) constantly shifts with mission requirements. Early missions such as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo required minimal, ...
Modified Chebyshev-Picard Iteration Methods for Solution of Initial Value and Boundary Value Problems
(2011-10-21)
The solution of initial value problems (IVPs) provides the evolution of dynamic
system state history for given initial conditions. Solving boundary value problems
(BVPs) requires finding the system behavior where elements ...
On Parametric and Nonparametric Methods for Dependent Data
(2011-10-21)
In recent years, there has been a surge of research interest in the analysis of time series
and spatial data. While on one hand more and more sophisticated models are being
developed, on the other hand the resulting theory ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Nanowires
(2011-10-21)
The use of nanostructures has become very common throughout high-tech industries.
In order to enhance the applicability of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) in
systems such as Nano-Electromechanical Systems, the phase transformation ...
