Development of a Procedure to Evaluate the Shear Modulus of Laminated Glass Interlayers
(2010-07-14)
Laminated glass is comprised of multiple glass plates coupled together in a sandwich construction through the use of a polymorphous interlayer that acts as a bonding agent between the glass plates. Laminated glass offers ...
String Phenomenology in the Era of LHC
(2010-10-12)
The low-energy supersymmetry phenomenology for specific classes of string compactifications is investigated given that the low-energy physics may provide a clue as
to the structure of the fundamental theory at high energy ...
Co-relation of Variables Involved in the Occurrence of Crane Accidents in U.S. through Logit Modeling.
(2010-10-12)
One of the primary reasons of the escalating rates of injuries and fatalities in the construction industry is the ever so complex, dynamic and continually changing nature of construction work. Use of cranes has become ...
In Situ Groundwater Arsenic Removal Using Iron Oxide-Coated Sand
(2010-10-12)
In many regions of the world, groundwater is contaminated with a high level of arsenic that must be treated before it can be safely used as drinking water. In situ immobilization of arsenic from groundwater within subsurface ...
Characterization of Small Scale Heterogeneity for Prediction of Acid Fracture Performance
(2010-10-12)
Recently developed models of the acid fracturing process have shown that the
differential etching necessary to create lasting fracture conductivity is caused by the
heterogeneous distributions of permeability and mineralogy ...
Comparison of On-Track and Not-On-Track Senior High School Students: An Assessment of Student Needs and Social Characteristics
(2010-07-14)
The student dropout dilemma in the American educational system has remained unchanged for the past 30 years. Dropout figures show more than 6 million high school dropouts living in the United States today. The purpose of ...
Calibrated Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta Modulators
(2010-07-14)
To provide more information mobility, many wireless communication systems such
as WCDMA and EDGE in phone systems, bluetooth and WIMAX in communication
networks have been recently developed. Recent efforts have been made ...
Vision-based Navigation for Mobile Robots on Ill-structured Roads
(2010-01-16)
Autonomous robots can replace humans to explore hostile areas, such as Mars and
other inhospitable regions. A fundamental task for the autonomous robot is navigation.
Due to the inherent difficulties in understanding natural ...
Applications of the Generalized DDA Formalism and the Nature of Polarized Light in Deep Oceans
(2010-01-16)
The first part of this study is focused on numerical studies of light scattering
from a single microscopic particle using the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA)
method. The conventional DDA formalism is generalized to ...
Observations of Physical Properties and Currents in the Northern Gulf of Mexico during Summer, 2002-2004, and Currents from January to July 2006
(2010-07-14)
Many processes in the ocean are interrelated. The direction with which an eddy rotates will determine if nutrients are moved closer to the surface where they can be utilized by plankton to increase the base of the food ...
