The activated heat source concept for space power applications
(1992)
One of the most reliable and commonly selected options for low levels of electrical power production (few kW[e] or less) in space is the radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG), which employs plutonium-238 (238Pu) as ...
Essential fatty acid requirements and related aspects of lipid metabolism in the red drum, S̲c̲i̲a̲e̲n̲o̲p̲s̲ o̲c̲e̲l̲l̲a̲t̲u̲s̲
(1992)
Lipid is a vital macronutrient that provides energy and fatty acids which mediate important biochemical processes. Lack of information on the specific essential fatty acid (EFA) requirements of red drum, as well as their ...
Study of air infiltration energy consumption
(1992)
The influence of heat recovery on the energy impact of air infiltration, and the systematic error due to the steady-state method were studied both experimentally and theoretically. Two methodologies suitable for measurement ...
Child molester and rapist differences in anger and hostility as measured by the MMPI-2 and STAXI
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to investigate anger and hostility differences between incarcerated nonviolent child molesters and incarcerated adult rapists. Anger and hostility were measured using the Minnesota Multiphasic ...
Environmentally assisted cracking of nickel-chromium-phosphorus amorphous alloy coated 4340 steels
(1992)
Surface modification of engineering materials has become more popular due to the scarcity of alloying elements like nickel and chromium and the increasing need for stronger and more corrosion resistant materials. On the ...
The social information processing abilities of rejected and nonrejected hyperactive children
(1990)
This study compared the social information processing abilities of select third and fourth grade boys. Children identified for the study included 14 hyperactive/rejected, 29 hyperactive/nonrejected, 14 nonhyperactive/rejected, ...
Supersymmetric extended objects
(1992)
Some recent advances in supermembrane theory are reported in detail, mainly concerning the heterotic fivebrane, string/fivebrane duality, the new Type II supermembranes and associated topics. In analogy with the Dirac ...
An empirical Bayes approach to variance function estimation
(1990)
The problem concerns the analysis of assay data when there have been previous similar experiments. Assay data usually fall under the framework of nonlinear regression when the variability about the regression line is ...
Electrical breakdown and field emission in rf cavities
(1992)
The electrical breakdown and field emission are important factors which limit the maximum electric field of rf cavities and performance of high gradient accelerators. In order to improve our understanding of rf breakdown, ...
Senior citizens as instructional mentors to enhance the secondary school curriculum
(1990)
There is considerable interest in involving senior citizens as active participants in the instruction of secondary school curriculum to utilize the skills, talents, and expertise of this growing segment of the population. ...
