Characterization of Product Quality Attributes and Thermal Properties of Potato Chips during Vacuum Frying
(2010-10-12)
Vacuum frying is an alternative processing method for producing high quality
snacks with the advantages of lower processing temperature, enhanced organoleptic
quality, and reduced acrylamide content. Vacuum frying (1.33 ...
Determination of soil properties for sandy soils and road base at Riverside Campus using laboratory testing and numerical simulation
(2010-07-14)
This study evaluated the soil properties of clean sand, a silty sand, and a road base that are extensively used as a backfill for full-scale testing at Riverside Campus at Texas A&M University. The three soils were collected ...
Advancement of Erosion Testing, Modeling, and Design of Concrete Pavement Subbase Layers
(2010-10-12)
Concrete pavement systems have great capacity to provide long service lives; however, if
the subbase layer is improperly designed or mismanaged, service life would be
diminished significantly since the subbase layer performs ...
Spent Nuclear Fuel Self-Induced XRF to Predict Pu to U Content
(2010-10-12)
The quantification of plutonium (Pu) in spent nuclear fuel is an increasingly important safeguards issue. There exists an estimated worldwide 980 metric tons of Pu in the nuclear fuel cycle and the majority is in spent ...

Numerical Modeling of Fracture Permeability Change in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs Using a Fully Coupled Displacement Discontinuity Method.
(2010-07-14)
Fractures are the main flow channels in naturally fractured reservoirs. Therefore
the fracture permeability is a critical parameter to production optimization and reservoir
management. Fluid pressure reduction caused by ...
Studies on Dynamics of Suction Piles during Their Lowering Operations
(2010-10-12)
Suction piles are used for anchoring the mooring lines at the seafloor. One of the challenges of their installing is the occurrence of the heave resonance of the pile-cable system and possibly the heave induced pitch ...
