Finite control volume modeling of the turbulent motion of air in an enclosure
(1987)
The FCVM has been used to solve both open flow problems and turbulent flow problems. The particular problems chosen for consideration were the flow between infinite parallel plates and the buoyant flow in a square enclosure. ...
Optimal preventive repair policy for a semi-Markov deterioration shock model
(1987)
Most maintenance models for stochastically deteriorating systems consider to replace or not to replace as the only two actions that can be taken at any deterioration stage. In this research a preventive repair model that ...
An interaction theory for multi-layered bonded composite beam systems with shear deformation effects
(1987)
An approximate partial interaction theory is presented for the analysis of multi-layered composite beams connected by means of adhesion. The formulation includes the effects of elastic slip, differential deflection, ...
Interaction of the cotton fleahopper, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter), and associated microorganisms in the induction of stress ethylene by the cotton plant
(1987)
The internal microflora associated with the salivary gland, whole body, and egg of the cotton fleahopper (CFH), Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae), were isolated and identified. Approximately 60% of ...
A study of labor negotiation productivity concerns in the petroleum refining industry
(1987)
The primary objective of this study was to identify productivity factors relative to negotiating future labor contracts with the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union (OCAWIU). A Delphi research method was ...
Nutrient partitioning and seedling development in the genus Leucaena
(1987)
Slow establishment of the genus Leucaena from seed has been attributed to low seedling vigor and late nodulation. Observation of early seedling growth indicated that partitioning of a large proportion of resources to the ...
Respiratory clearance in normal turkeys and turkeys infected with Bordetella avium and Newcastle disease virus
(1987)
The effects of Bordetella avium and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) on respiratory defense parameters of the turkey were studied. Quantitative clearance of aerosolized Escherichia coli from the trachea, lung, and air sacs ...
Assertiveness training : its effect upon academic achievement and self-concept of vocational nursing students
(1987)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of assertiveness training on the self-concept and academic achievement of vocational nursing students. The subjects were 40 students enrolled in the vocational ...
An investigation of the effects of the propeller slipstream on a wing boundary layer
(1987)
The behavior of a wing boundary layer immersed in a propeller slipstream has been studied experimentally in wind tunnel tests and in flight. Airfoil surface static pressure measurements were made for time-averaged effects, ...
A study of the chemical interaction of methanol and lignite in a suspension environment
(1987)
Wet comminuted methanol-lignite suspensions were studied in an effort to understand the interaction between the two species. Examination of liquid to solid ratio, particle size, moisture content, blending time and length ...
