Assessment of grouts for constructability and durability of post-tensioned bridges
(2010-01-16)
Post-tensioned (PT) bridge technology was first introduced in France in the 1930?s as
described in the post-tensioned concrete bridges: Anglo-French liaison report by
Highway Agency and is widely used in Europe and the US. ...
Work, Nonwork, and Network: The Public and Private Lives of Women Chief Student Affairs Officers
(2010-01-14)
Women make up a majority of those employed in higher education, yet they are

Integrated Reservoir Characterization and Simulation Studies in Stripper Oil and Gas Fields
(2010-01-14)
The demand for oil and gas is increasing yearly, whereas proven oil and gas
reserves are being depleted. The potential of stripper oil and gas fields to supplement the
national energy supply is large. In 2006, stripper ...
Production Trends of Shale Gas Wells
(2010-01-14)
To obtain better well performance and improved production from shale gas
reservoirs, it is important to understand the behavior of shale gas wells and to identify
different flow regions in them over a period of time. It ...
Sensor Fault Diagnosis Using Principal Component Analysis
(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this research is to address the problem of fault diagnosis of sensors which measure a set of direct redundant variables. This study proposes:
1. A method for linear senor fault diagnosis
2. An analysis of ...
Analytical and Experimental Study of Annular Two-Phase Flow Friction Pressure Drop Under Microgravity
(2011-02-22)
Two-phase liquid-gas flow has a wide variety of applications in space, including active thermal control systems, high-power communications satellites, heat pumps and space nuclear reactors. Two-phase systems have many ...

(2010-10-12)
This study was conducted to determine the survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium in marinade that was used to vacuum tumble beef inside skirts and beef tri-tip roasts. The depth of penetration of ...
Phase-field Models for Solidification and Solid/Liquid Interactions
(2011-02-22)
The microstructure resulting from the solidification of alloys can greatly affect their properties,
making the prediction of solidification phenomena under arbitrary conditions a very important
tool in the field of ...
An Alternative Oral Proficiency and Expressive Vocabulary Assessment of Kindergarten English Language Learners
(2011-02-22)
The data used in this study were secondary, kindergarten data from a longitudinal, five-year, federal experimental research project: English and Literacy Acquisition (ELLA) (R305P030032). The overall goal of ELLA was to ...
Experimental Study of Bridge Scour in Cohesive Soil
(2011-02-22)
The bridge scour depths in cohesive soil have been predicted using the scour
equations developed for cohesionless soils due to scarce of studies about cohesive soil.
The scour depths predicted by the conventional methods ...
