Electrical and Production Load Factors
(2010-07-14)
Load factors are an important simplification of electrical energy use data and depend on the ratio of average demand to peak demand. Based on operating hours of a facility they serve as an important benchmarking tool for ...
IP Routing Table Compression Using TCAM and Distance-one Merge
(2011-02-22)
In an attempt to slow the exhaustion of the Internet Protocol (IP) address space,
Class-less Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was proposed and adopted. However, the
decision to utilize CIDR also increases the size of the ...
Rock-Around Orbits
(2010-07-14)
The ability to observe resident space objects (RSOs) is a necessary requirement
for space situational awareness. While objects in a Low-Earth Orbit are easily ob-
servable by ground-based sensors, diffculties arise when ...
Microfluidic Systems for Investigating Bacterial Chemotaxis and Colonization
(2011-02-22)
The overall goal of this work was to develop and utilize microfluidic models for investigating bacterial chemotaxis and biofilm formation - phenotypes that play key roles in bacterial infections. Classical methods for ...
Regional Analysis of Seafloor Characteristics at Reef Fish Spawning Aggregation Sites in the Caribbean
(2011-02-22)
Overfishing of stock and decreasing biodiversity are grave concerns for the U.S. and the rest of the world. Understanding and applying spatial and temporal information of marine species’ reproductive ecology and critical ...
Heavy Oil Upgrading from Electron Beam (E-Beam) Irradiation
(2011-02-22)
Society's growing demands for energy results in rapid increase in oil consumption and motivates us to make unconventional resources conventional resources. There are enormous amounts of heavy oil reserves in the world but ...
Observational Learning of a Bimanual Coordination Task: Understanding Movement Feature Extraction, Model Performance Level, and Perspective Angle
(2010-07-14)
One experiment was adminstered to address three issues central to identifying the processes that underlie our ability to learn through observation. One objective of the study was to identify the movement features (relative ...
Robust Generator System Using PM Assisted Synchronous Reluctance Generator with Current-fed Drive
(2011-02-22)
The growth of embedded generation and portable electrical installations has led
to an increased demand for low cost, flexible and reliable generator systems for military
and commercial applications. An interior permanent ...
A Framework to Support A Systematic Approach to Unit Cost Development
(2011-02-22)
Availability of historical unit cost data is an important factor in developing accurate project cost estimates. State highway agencies (SHAs) collect data on historical bids and/or production rates, crew sizes and mixes, ...
Developing and Testing a Trafficability Index for Planting Corn and Cotton in the Texas Blackland Prairie
(2010-07-14)
The Texas Blackland Prairie is one of the most productive agricultural regions in
Texas. This region provides a long growing season coupled with soils that have a high
water holding capacity. However, the soils also provide ...
