The development of a hyperbaric reactor for the biological oxidation of a colloid
(1972)
In order to investigate limitations in a mechanism for biological oxidation of colloids, an experimental scheme was derived. The system employs the use of (1) cell disruption by high frequency sound to facilitate hydrolysis ...
Development and impact of Section 13(c) within the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964 on the labor-management structure of Texas Transit Systems
(1985)
In 1920, one-half of all Americans lived in the cities. It is expected that four out of five will live and work in the city by 1990. During the early 1900's, transit predominantly served the city's residents, however, fewer ...
Development of a research rotary kiln and a study of the effects of degree of thermal transformation on selected properties of synthetic aggregates
(1969)
Because of the increasing need for high quality aggregates of construction, a renewed emphasis has been placed upon the use of synthetic aggregates, which are thermally processed clays, shales and slates. As with most ...
A decision support methodology for the rehabilitation and replacement of highway bridges
(1991)
The current rate of deterioration of highway bridges in the United States has created the need for a comprehensive bridge management system (BMS). This need has also been recognized in Texas, necessitating the development ...
Product and process integration for the U.S. design-construction industry
(1990)
In this study, a reinterpretation of design of product and process in the design-construction industry is presented. This reinterpretation promises to provide a means to improve the quality and productivity of completed ...
Development of optimization models for signalized intersections during oversaturated conditions
(1990)
This dissertation documents the development of optimization models for the control of signalized intersections during oversaturated traffic conditions. A dynamic optimization model was developed as the principal product ...
A study of electrical and thermal properties and their use to detect natural gas hydrates in ocean sediments
(1992)
Natural gas hydrates may exist in deep ocean sediments in the presence of gas. Since recovery of hydrate samples is very difficult using conventional geotechnical sampling operations the development of in situ detection ...
Study of marine sediment drag forces on offshore pipelines
(1987)
Soft marine sediments move in response to gravity forces and bottom pressures produced by storm waves. These sediment movements produce forces on ocean structures, such as offshore platforms and marine pipelines, which are ...
Bit temperature measurement in printed circuit boards with an infrared pyrometer
(1993)
The objective of this research was measuring bit temperatures with an infrared pyrometer while drilling printed circuit board stacks. Cited research indicated drilling temperatures are related to many plated-through-hole ...
