Use of an Engine Cycle Simulation to Study a Biodiesel Fueled Engine
(2010-01-14)
Based on the GT-Power software, an engine cycle simulation for a biodiesel
fueled direct injection compression ignition engine was developed and used to study its
performance and emission characteristics. The major objectives ...
Experimental Study of Filter Cake Cleanup by Acid/Water Jetting
(2010-01-16)
The main purpose of acid/water jetting treatments currently applied in the field is
to clean up the filter cake formed during the drilling process and perhaps further
stimulate the wellbore by creating wormholes if acid ...
ACTIVE SUSPENSION CONTROL WITH DIRECT-DRIVE TUBULAR LINEAR BRUSHLESS PERMANENT-MAGNET MOTOR
(2010-01-16)
Recently, active suspension has been applied to many commercial automobiles. To develop the control algorithm for active suspension, a quarter-car test bed was built by using a direct-drive tubular linear brushless ...
Exploring Representations of Masculinity in Disney Animated Feature Films
(2010-01-14)
The purpose of this research project was to examine representations of male characters and masculinity in Disney animated feature films. Social learning theory, gender and hegemonic masculinity were used to theoretically ...
The Interactions of Zinc Thiolate Complexes and Exogenous Metal Species: Investigations of Thiolate Bridging and Metal Exchange
(2010-07-14)
Small molecule Zn(II) complexes containing N- and S- donor environments may
serve as appropriate models for mimicking Zn protein sites, and thus, their reactions
with heavy metal ions such as Pt(II) and W(0) may provide ...
ENVIRONMENTAL HOSTILITY, INDIVIDUAL LEARNING, AND INTRAPRENEURSHIP AS PREDICTORS OF ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING: A STUDY APPLIED TO TWO SELECTED MINING COMPANIES IN CHILE
(2010-07-14)
Organizations are faced with competitive and changeable environments which
demand more prepared employees to successfully cope with these current and future
challenges (Oswick, Grant, Michelson, and Wailes, 2005). ...
The Effects of Resistance Exercise on In Vivo Cumulative Skeletal Muscle Protein Synthesis
(2010-07-14)
An acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) and dietary protein consumption stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS). This anabolic effect is believed to be attenuated with resistance exercise training (RET), however, the ...
Flow Imaging Using MRI: Quantification and Analysis
(2010-07-14)
A complex and challenging problem in flow study is to obtain quantitative flow information in opaque systems, for example, blood flow in biological systems and flow channels in chemical reactors. In this regard, MRI is ...
Financial Statement Misstatements, Auditor Litigation, and Subsequent Auditor Behavior
(2010-07-14)
This paper examines the occurrence and outcome of auditor litigation related to financial statement misstatements and the effect of auditor misstatement-based litigation on subsequent auditor behavior. The study is motivated ...
Evidence of Construct-Related Validity for Assessment Centers: More Pieces of the Inferential Pie
(2010-07-14)
Much research has been conducted on the topic of the construct-related validity of assessment centers, however a definitive conclusion has yet to be drawn. The central question of this debate is whether assessment centers ...
