Sensorless Speed Control of Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor (PMa-SynRM)
(2011-02-22)
An interesting alternative for today's high efficiency variable speed drives is the Permanent Magnet-Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Motor drive, which belongs to the family of brushless synchronous AC motor drives. ...
Characteristics of Effective Mentoring in a Formal Mentoring Setting
(2011-02-22)
A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to determine the perceived
levels of effectiveness and barriers for a successful mentoring relationship between
mentors and mentees. Specifically, this study explored ...
Radar-Derived Forecasts of Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Over Houston, Texas
(2011-02-22)
Ten years (1997 - 2006) of summer (June, July, August) daytime (14 - 00 Z)
Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler data for Houston, TX were examined to

Population Dynamics of Plain Chachalacas in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
(2011-02-22)
The Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) of Texas is an ecologically diverse region in the United States and marks the northernmost extension for many tropical species of plants and animals. Since the early 1900s, 95% of the ...
Nondestructive Testing of Overhead Transmission Lines: Numerical and Experimental Investigation
(2011-02-22)
Overhead transmission lines are periodically inspected using both on-ground and helicopter-aided visual inspection. Factors including sun glare, cloud cover, close proximity to power lines and the rapidly changing visual ...
Advanced Tools For Characterizing HMA Fatigue Resistance
(2011-02-22)
Accurately and efficiently characterizing the material properties of hot mix
asphalt (HMA) is critical to the design and development of pavements that can

Model-based Pre-processing in Protein Mass Spectrometry
(2011-02-22)
The discovery of proteomic information through the use of mass spectrometry (MS) has been an active area of research in the diagnosis and prognosis of many types of cancer. This process involves feature selection through ...
Analysis of Data from the Barnett Shale with Conventional Statistical and Virtual Intelligence Techniques
(2011-02-22)
Water production is a challenge in production operations because it is generally
costly to produce, treat, and it can hamper hydrocarbon production. This is especially
true for gas wells in unconventional reservoirs like ...
Fast Algorithms for High Frequency Interconnect Modeling in VLSI Circuits and Packages
(2011-02-22)
Interconnect modeling plays an important role in design and verification of VLSI
circuits and packages. For low frequency circuits, great advances for parasitic resistance
and capacitance extraction have been achieved and ...
