A drilling operation leads to thermal disturbances in the near-wellbore stress, which is an important cause of many undesired incidents in well drilling. A major cause of this thermal disturbance is the temperature difference ...

Thermoreflectance (TR) imaging is a nonintrusive temperature measurement method which can obtain temperature distribution on target surface with high spatial and temperature resolution. Three-dimensional (3D) TR imaging ...

The availability of baseline thermal flux data is important for testing hypotheses of endangered species such as the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), whose numbers have declined since the 1960s by more than 80% in ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermoregulatory mechanisms associated with exercise of long duration in a hot, humid environment. The specific problem was to describe the upper limit s of environmental ...

For the past six winters a thermosiphon system has been used with two 2000 ton centrifugal chillers to supply chilled water for building cooling. Whenever the outside wet bulb temperature drops to 45 F or below, the ...

This thesis seeks to explore the complexities surrounding organizations during the process of becoming multinational. Particularly, I look at complications that can arise and lead to the ultimate failure of a multinational ...
