Level-set RANS method for sloshing and green water simulations
(2009-05-15)
An interface-preserving level set method is incorporated into the Reynolds-
Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) numerical method for the time-domain simulation
of green water effects. This generalized method can be used to ...
A co-axially configured submillimeter spectrometer and investigations of hydrogen bound molecular complexes
(2009-05-15)
The development of a co-axially configured submillimeter spectrometer is
reported. The spectrometer has been constructed to observe molecular complexes that
exhibit non-covalent interactions with energies much less than ...
Factors influencing field performance: utilizing the drug evaluation and classificaiton (DEC) program to identify suspected impaired drivers as reported by selected certified police officers in Texas
(2009-05-15)
This study examined how decision-making training related to the Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program was transferred to law enforcement officers, referred to as drug recognition experts (DRE), for use in ...
Integration of renewable energy sources: reliability-constrained power system planning and operations using computational intelligence
(2009-05-15)
Renewable sources of energy such as wind turbine generators and solar panels
have attracted much attention because they are environmentally friendly, do not
consume fossil fuels, and can enhance a nation’s energy security. ...
The effect of individualized self-paced single-gender classrooms on reading and math scores at the mclennan county challenge academy in Waco, Texas
(2009-05-15)
The intent of this study is to determine the effects on the reading and math scores
of females segregated into single-gender alternative classrooms that had the benefit of an
individualized, self-paced curriculum.
The ...
Effects of pore-scale velocity and pore-scale physical processes on contaminant biodegradation during transport in groundwater: modeling and experiments
(2009-05-15)
Contamination of surface and ground water has emerged as one of the most important
environmental issues in developed and developing countries. Bioremediation of
groundwater takes advantage of bacteria present in the ...
Aspects of 7d and 6d gauged supergravities
(2009-05-15)
We determine the conditions under which half-maximal matter coupled gauged supergravity
in seven dimensions admits a chiral circle reduction to yield a matter coupled
gauged supergravity in six dimensions with 8 real ...
Constrained expectation-maximization (EM), dynamic analysis, linear quadratic tracking, and nonlinear constrained expectation-maximation (EM) for the analysis of genetic regulatory networks and signal transduction networks
(2009-05-15)
Despite the immense progress made by molecular biology in cataloging andcharacterizing molecular elements of life and the success in genome sequencing, therehave not been comparable advances in the functional study of ...
Forecasting project progress and early warning of project overruns with probabilistic methods
(2009-05-15)
Forecasting is a critical component of project management. Project managers must be
able to make reliable predictions about the final duration and cost of projects starting
from project inception. Such predictions need to ...
Insights into a researcher's attempt to study the mentoring needs of first-year, white, female teachers in diverse schools
(2009-05-15)
While schools in America are becoming more culturally diverse, the majority of
first-year teachers continue to be white females. Although mentoring has proven to be an
effective means of supporting first-year teachers, ...
