Dynamic Structural Analysis With Experimental Verification
(1986)
There are basically two methods of determining the dynamic response of structures. Analytical methods take advantage of theoretical equations to predict a system's response, while experimental methods use testing of ...
Buffer Zone Reservoir Operation
(1986)
Texas' water demand is steadily increasing. In the past, ground water was used to meet the majority of demand. However, this continuing withdrawal is causing many problems. Because of this situation, the state is now turning ...
The Effect Of Methane Content In Natural Gas On The Noₓ Emission From An S.I. Automotive Engine
(1986)
This study was as an investigation into the effect of the methane content in a natural gas fuel on the NOx emissions from an automotive engine. Results of this investigation provided the information nescessary to determine ...
Criminal Deterrence: Some Initial Experimental Results
(1989)
A universal problem that exists in society is finding an optimal punishment that will deter individuals from a certain unwanted behavior. Sociologists, psychologists, economists and even businessmen have grappled with the ...
An Interpretation Of Peirce's Existential Graphs
(1987)
The American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce has come to be regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern day logic. One of his most original contributions is the logical system called existential graphs. Through ...
Expression and Characterization of Fasciola hepatica eggshell protein
(1987)
The liver fluke Fasciola hepatica produces eggs with a mechanically tough scleroprotein Shell which is resistant to acids, bases, and proteases. The protein which eventually forms this eggshell is produced and stored in ...
Mathematical Measures in the Analysis of Three-Dimensional Binary Images
(1989)
Three-dimensional binary represenations of continuous objects are analyzed for shape properties. Theoretical results are descibed that suggest a method for developing three-dimensional shape measures. New shape measures ...
Effects of Dietary Restriction on Immune Function in Rodent Model Systems
(1989)
Humans and laboratory animals experience a decline in immune system function and DNA excision repair correlated with increased occurrence of cancer as a function of age. Dietary restriction is reported to be associated ...
The Strength of the Weak and the Struggle about the Impossible in The Lord of the Rings
(1987)
In his personal writings, as well as in much of his fiction, J.R.R. Tolkien often expressed the paradoxical belief that the 'wheels of the world' are often turned, not by the great, the powerful, or the mighty, but rather, ...
Measurement Of The Forward Scattered Light From A Small Sphere
(1989)
The goal of this project is to measure the forward scattered light from a small sphere at angles down to zero degrees. By cancelling the unscattered illumination beam with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, it was possible to ...
