Predicting Community Preference of Comments on the Social Web
(2010-07-14)
Large-scale socially-generated metadata is one of the key features driving the growth
and success of the emerging Social Web. Recently there have been many research efforts
to study the quality of this metadata - like ...
Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Proteins -1 and -3, and Hydroxysteroid (11-Beta) Dehydrogenase One: Potential Roles in Ruminant Conceptus Development and Endometrial Function
(2010-07-14)
Maternal contributions from the uterine endometrial luminal (LE) and glandular
(GE) epithelia are unequivocally required to support ruminant conceptus growth and
development, elongation and implantation. Therefore, studies ...
Development of Self-destructing Filter Cake
(2010-08-24)
The main goal of drilling a horizontal well is to enhance productivity or injectory by placing a long distance drain-hole within the pay-zone. Poor drilling fluid design results in difficulties such as poor hole cleaning, ...
Forces on laboratory model dredge cutterhead
(2010-07-14)
Dredge cutting forces produced by the movement of the cutterhead through the sediment have been measured with the laboratory dredge carriage located at the Haynes Coastal Engineering Laboratory. The sediment bed that was ...
Use of a Thermodynamic Engine Cycle Simulation to Study a Turbocharged Spark-ignition Engine
(2010-07-14)
The second law analysis is a powerful tool for assessing the performance of engines
and has been employed for few decades now. Turbocharged diesel engines have been
explored in much detail with the help of second law ...
Increasing Well Productivity in Gas Condensate Wells in Qatar's North Field
(2010-07-14)
Condensate blockage negatively impacts large natural gas condensate reservoirs all over the world; examples include Arun Field in Indonesia, Karachaganak Field in Kazakhstan, Cupiagua Field in Colombia,Shtokmanovskoye Field ...
Measurements of Drag Torque and Lift Off Speed and Identification of Stiffness and Damping in a Metal Mesh Foil Bearing
(2010-07-14)
Metal mesh foil bearings (MMFBs) are a promising low cost gas bearing technology
for support of high speed oil-free microturbomachinery. Elimination of complex oil
lubrication and sealing system by installing MMFBs in oil ...
Optimized Fan Control In Variable Air Volume HVAC Systems Using Static Pressure Resets: Strategy Selection and Savings Analysis
(2010-07-14)
The potential of static pressure reset (SPR) control to save fan energy in variable air
volume HVAC systems has been well documented. Current research has focused on the creation
of reset strategies depending on specific ...
Ultrashort Pulse Propagation in the Linear Regime
(2010-07-14)
First, we investigate the Bouguer-Lambert-Beer (BLB) law as applied to the transmission of ultrashort pulses through water in the linear absorption regime. We present a linear theory for propagation of ultrashort laser ...
