Insulation in the opaque envelope : effects on thermal performance of residential buildings in hot-arid climates
(1991)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the thermal performance of insulated opaque building envelopes when the order of envelope insulating layers was altered. The study emphasized the effect on cooling load. Three ...
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow
(1992)
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow was investigated. The rotating cavity has two plane disks and a cylindrical rim (shroud). The ratio of the rim span to the disk outer radius is 0.4 ...
Factors affecting English as a second language learning for new and returning international college students enrolled at an English Language Institute in the United States
(1995)
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to conduct a qualitative case study of new and returning foreign students' and second language teachers' beliefs and attitudes toward English as a second language learning and ...
Use of palmitoleate and myristoleate to establish the effects of fatty acid chain length and saturation on plasma cholesterol
(1992)
Specific objectives of this study were to test the hypothesis that fatty acid chain length, rather than saturation, is primarily responsible for the effects on plasma lipoproteins. Weanling pigs were assigned to six groups ...
Adsorption and catalytic studies on model mono- and bimetallic catalysts
(1993)
The adsorption and oxidation of carbon monoxide were studied on model mono- and bimetallic catalysts of Pd(111), Pd(100), Cu(100), Rh(100) and Cu/Rh(100), using combined elevated pressure reactor/IR cell-UHV surface analysis ...
Development and testing of a bovine model for sperm antigen immunocontraception
(1995)
The objectives of this research project were to utilize monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), which were generated against human fertilization-related sperm antigens, to test for their cross-reactivity with bovine spermatozoa. ...
Lepton pair production in the electromagnetic fields of relativistic collisions
(1991)
Electromagnetic lepton pair production is studied in an ab initio approach with no free parameters. A semi-classical approximation to the relative motion of the two incident particles is made and the resulting second-order ...
Positions of power : initiating the relationship between legislators and pacs
(1993)
The relationship between legislators and political action committees has been consistently characterized in political science as one in which PACs pursue candidates offering contributions. The literature in the business ...
The impacts of regional structural changes on the supply response of milk in the United States
(1992)
During the 1980s, there were major structural changes in the U.S. dairy industry. These structural shifts are exemplified by changes in regional location of production, as well as, disparate regional changes in the number ...
