The Effect of Crystallographic Orientation and Thermo-mechanical Loading Conditions on the Phase Transformation Characteristics of Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys
(2011-02-22)
The effects of crystallographic orientation, temperature and heat treatment on superelastic response of Ni45Mn36.5Co5In13.5 single crystals were investigated. Superelastic experiments with and without various magnetic field ...
Validation of Hot Water and Lactic Acid Sprays for the Reduction of Enteric Pathogens on the Surface of Beef Carcasses
(2011-02-22)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella have emerged as the most common foodborne enteric pathogens causing human illness from the consumption of beef. By mandate of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety ...
Prediction of Damage Zone Growth in Composites Using Continuum Damage Mechanics
(2010-07-14)
The continuum damage mechanics (CDM) approach is widely used to model damage in polymer matrix composite materials which are represented using the homogenized properties of the fiber and matrix constituents. CDM simplifies ...
PREDICTING TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR IN CARBONATE ACIDIZING TREATMENTS
(2010-01-16)
To increase the successful rate of acid stimulation, a method is required to
diagnose the effectiveness of stimulation which will help us to improve stimulation
design and decide whether future action, such as diversion, ...
Cranial Variability in Amazonian Marmosets
(2011-02-22)
The family Callitrichidae encompasses the marmosets and tamarins, the smallest of the anthropoid primates and one of the most species-rich of platyrrhine families. Seven new species of Amazonian marmosets (Callithrix, ...
Effect of Brush Vegetation on Deep Drainage Using Chloride Mass Balance
(2011-02-22)
Groundwater use is of fundamental importance to meet rapidly expanding urban,
industrial, and agricultural water requirements, particularly in semiarid zones. To
quantify the current rate of groundwater recharge is thus a ...
Therapeutic Camps as Respite Care Providers: Benefits for Families of Children with Disabilities
(2011-02-22)
This study examines the utilization of a therapeutic summer camp for children
with disabilities as a respite care provider for parents of camp participants. Interviews
were conducted with nine parents, from seven different ...
The Effects of Volunteering on the Development of Place Attachment and Stewardship of Natural Places
(2010-01-16)
The purpose of this study was to explore how volunteers engaged in natural-area
based projects develop attachments to the resource and act as stewards for these
resources. The context of this study was the National Park ...
Toward Understanding and Modeling Compressibility Effects on Velocity Gradients in Turbulence
(2011-02-22)
Development of improved turbulence closure models for compressible fluid flow simulations requires better understanding of the effects of compressibility on various
underlying processes of turbulence. Fundamental studies ...
Meta-Metadata: An Information Semantic Language and Software Architecture for Collection Visualization Application
(2011-02-22)
Information collection and discovery tasks involve aggregation and manipulation
of information resources. An information resource is a location from which a human
gathers data to contribute to his/her understanding of ...
