Formation Kinetics of Nitric Oxide of Biodiesel Relative to Petroleum Diesel under Comparable Oxygen Equivalence Ratio in a Homogeneous Reactor
(2011-10-21)
Interest in biodiesel has piqued with advent of stringent emissions regulations. Biodiesel is a viable substitute for petroleum diesel because biodiesel produces significantly lower particulate and soot emissions relative ...
Direct Information Exchange in Wireless Networks: A Coding Perspective
(2011-10-21)
The rise in the popularity of smartphones such as Blackberry and iPhone creates a
strain on the world's mobile networks. The extensive use of these mobile devices leads
to increasing congestion and higher rate of node ...
Comparison of the Performance of Different Time Delay Estimation Techniques for Ultrasound Elastography
(2011-10-21)
Elastography is a non-invasive medical imaging modality that is used as a diagnostic
tool for the early detection of several pathological changes in soft tissues. Elastography
techniques provide the local strain distributions ...
Analysis of Multi-Component Seismic Data in the Shallow Water Environment of the Arabian Gulf
(2015-05-13)
The quality of the seismic data is essential to quantitative reservoir characterization of rock properties and geological structure interpretation. Although marine multi-component seismic data hold a wealth of information ...
The Precision Analysis of Time Series Photometry and Its Application to Searches for Pre-Main-Sequence Objects
(2016-04-27)
The past two decades have seen a significant advancement in the detection, classification and understanding of exoplanets and binary star systems. This is due, in large part, to the increase in use of small aperture ...
The Influence of Tree Species Composition on Songbird Abundance and Productivity
(2014-08-08)
Most avian habitat selection studies are conducted within small spatial and temporal scales and fail to link habitat selection decisions to reproductive success. This limits our understanding of avian demographic patterns ...
Impact of Not Fully Addressing Cross-Classified Multilevel Structure in Testing Measurement Invariance and Conducting Multilevel Mixture Modeling within Structural Equation Modeling Framework
(2014-07-25)
In educational settings, researchers are likely to encounter multilevel data without strictly nested or hierarchical but cross-classified multilevel structure. However, due to the lack of familiarity and limitations of ...
Modeling of ECM Controlled Series Fan-powered VAV Terminal Units
(2011-10-21)
Semi-empirical models for series fan-powered variable air volume terminal units
(FPTUs) were developed based on models of the primary, plenum, fan airflow and the
fan power consumption. The experimental setups and test ...
Alzheimer’s Special Care Units: Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease in Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities
(2016-05-10)
Residential Care and Assisted Living Facilities (RC/AL) are rapidly becoming one of the most popular long-term supports and services (LTSS) care modalities, particularly for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or ...
Simulation of Contamination Through the Post-Harvest Environment Using Surrogate Organisms
(2011-10-21)
The beef industry has made tremendous strides in reducing pathogen contamination on carcasses. Multiple antimicrobial interventions have been validated for their use during harvesting. Information in regards to cross-contamination ...
