Development of a Low NOx Burner System for Coal Fired Power Plants Using Coal and Biomass Blends
(2010-01-16)
The low NOx burner (LNB) is the most cost effective technology used in coal-fired power plants to reduce NOx. Conventional (unstaged) burners use primary air for transporting particles and swirling secondary air to create ...
Thermoelastic Properties of Particle Reinforced Composites at the Micro and Macro Scales
(2010-01-14)
Particle reinforced composites are widely used in tires, heat exchangers, thermal barrier coatings and many other applications, as they have good strength to weight ratio, excellent thermal insulation, ease of manufacturing ...
Analysis of estrone sulphate, testosterone, and cortisol concentrations around time of ejaculation and potential correlation to sexual behavior and sperm characteristics in stallions
(2010-07-14)
In the stallion, inconsistent sexual behavior and variable semen quality are
common. This reproductive variability has been attributed to differences in circulating
hormone concentrations. In order to further examine this ...
Polyisobutylene as a Polymer Support for Homogeneous Catalysis
(2010-01-14)
Phase selective soluble polymers are useful in organic synthesis because they
simplify purification and separation processes. Such selective soluble polymers enable
the use of Green chemistry principles to be utilized as ...
“AT HOME, I’M CLARK KENT. AT CAMP, I’M SUPERMAN:” OUTCOMES AND PROCESSES OF A CAMP FOR YOUTH WITH HIV/AIDS
(2010-01-16)
Understanding how inputs influence program outcomes is a key step in designing
and implementing quality youth programs to support positive development. While
developmental processes are assumed to be universal for all ...
Fragment Based Protein Active Site Analysis Using Markov Random Field Combinations of Stereochemical Feature-Based Classifications
(2010-07-14)
Recent improvements in structural genomics efforts have greatly increased the
number of hypothetical proteins in the Protein Data Bank. Several computational
methodologies have been developed to determine the function of ...
Ultimate Limit State Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns for Use in Performance-Based Analysis and Design
(2010-10-12)
The design of reinforced concrete structures for extreme events requires accurate
predictions of the ultimate rotational capacity of critical sections, which is dictated by
the failure mechanisms of shear, hoop fracture, ...
Essays in Financial Econometrics
(2010-01-14)
I consider continuous time asset pricing models with stochastic differential utility
incorporating decision makers' concern with ambiguity on true probability measure.
In order to identify and estimate key parameters in ...
Gas Deliverability Using the Method of Distributed Volumetric Sources
(2010-01-15)
Productivity index (PI) is an important indicator of a well?s production capacity.
For conventional reservoirs, well productivity is usually calculated using the pressure
response of the reservoir in its pseudosteady-state ...
Iterative Damage Index Method for Structural Health Monitoring
(2011-02-22)
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an effective alternative to conventional inspections
which are time-consuming and subjective. SHM can detect damage early and reduce
maintenance cost and thereby help reduce the ...
