Over the next few years, CERN is taking its LHC (Large Hadron Collider) particle accelerator into a series of long-term shutdowns, during which the devices rate of producing interesting particle interactions will be increased ...
-
(2013-12-06)We obtain semi-analytic planar radiative shock solutions using a multigroup discrete-ordinates (Sn) radiation transport model. Comparisons are made to the grey nonequilibrium diffusion solutions of Lowrie and Edwards and ...
-
(2013-12-19)The objective of this research is to test the ability of Graphene Oxide (GO) to attract and hold heavy radionuclides to be mechanically filtered out using an aluminum oxide ceramic filter. The radionuclides of interest are ...

Raman Spectroscopy Enables Highly Accurate Differentiation Between Young Male and Female Hemp Plants Determination of hemp (Cannabis sativa) sexuality is an integral part of the hemp industry. Current methods of analysis can be costly and invasive. Genetic testing is most often required which involves sending leaf samples ...
-
(1994)The objective of this undergraduate research project is to demonstrate how rapid prototyping can aid the design process and the manufacture of human surgical hip implants. The optimum chord height tolerance (a measure of ...

Modern computing systems are placing ever greater pressure on their memory management systems. The current means of managing the page cache in the Linux kernel is a binary ranking standard through which cached pages are ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Experimentally and theoretically, the affect of isospin on nuclear reactions has been studied intensively. Among the affects that have been observed to affect reactions are neutron number and size of the reaction system. ...
-
(1984)Singles and coincidence energy spectra were obtained for ¹⁴N projectiles at 265 MeV incident on a ¹²C target. Model calculations were done for this system using the computer program LILITA and comparisons were made between ...
-
(2011-04-25)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residence time of water-soluble levoglucosan and free lignin-derived phenols, from two different plant charcoals. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was extracted from honey mesquite ...
