Laboratory-scale fracture conductivity created by acid etching
(2009-05-15)
Success of acid fracturing treatment depends greatly on the created conductivity
under closure stress. In order to have sufficient conductivity, the fracture face must be
non-uniformly etched while the fracture strength ...
Studies on the molecular epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis
(2009-05-15)
We investigated the molecular epidemiology, differential susceptibility to infection and
disease, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis in captive ringneck
doves (Streptopelia risoria) and in the ...
Speed estimation using single loop detector outputs
(2009-05-15)
Flow speed describes general traffic operation conditions on a segment of roadway. It is also used to diagnose special conditions such as congestion and incidents. Accurate speed estimation plays a critical role in traffic ...
Heat release effects on decaying homogeneous compressible turbulence
(2009-05-15)
High Mach-number compressible flows with heat release are inherently more
complicated than incompressible flows due to, among other reasons, the activation
of the thermal energy mode. Such flow fields can experience ...
Modeling, image processing and attitude estimation of high speed star sensors
(2009-05-15)
Attitude estimation and angular velocity estimation are the most critical components
of a spacecraft's guidance, navigation and control. Usually, an array of tightlycoupled
sensors (star trackers, gyroscopes, sun sensors, ...
The impact of school facilities on student achievement, attendance, behavior, completion rate and teacher turnover rate in selected Texas high schools
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to explore the possible relationship between school
facility conditions and school outcomes such as student academic achievement,
attendance, discipline, completion rate and teacher turnover ...
Ro(g)-graded equivariant cohomology theory and sheaves
(2009-05-15)
If G is a nite group and if X is a G-space, then a Bredon RO(G)-graded equivariantcohomology theory is dened on X. Furthermore, if X is a G-manifold, thereexists a natural Čech hypercohomology theory on X. While Bredon ...
Analysis of linear elasticity and non-linearity due to plasticity and material damage in woven and biaxial braided composites
(2009-05-15)
Textile composites have a wide variety of applications in the aerospace, sports,
automobile, marine and medical industries. Due to the availability of a variety of textile
architectures and numerous parameters associated ...
Community, leadership, and mass-elite relations: an investigation into political leadership in the chinese villages in the reform era
(2009-05-15)
What is the role of political leadership in the mechanisms that bind general masses and political elites behind a certain policy program? And what factors account for the changes in political leadership? The mechanisms ...
Object-oriented software development effort prediction using design patterns from object interaction analysis
(2009-05-15)
Software project management is arguably the most important activity in modern
software development projects. In the absence of realistic and objective management, the
software development process cannot be managed in an ...
