Analysis of melt blowing dies using computational fluid dynamics .
(2007)
For a single annular jet and the blunt slot die, a previously developed rheological model was used to predict the fiber diameter, velocity, and temperature. Then, these were used to set boundary conditions in simulations ...
Experimental and numerical simulation study of microbial enhanced oil recovery using bio-surfactants.
(2005)
A 2-phase, 10-component microbial enhanced oil recovery numerical simulator was modified to include reservoir salinity and facilitate surfactant and polymer injection. The effects of reservoir brine salinity and divalent ...
Iterative decoding for magnetic recording channels.
(2000)
The success of turbo codes indicates that performance close to the Shannon limit may be achieved by iterative decoding. This has in turn stimulated interest in the performance of iterative detection for partial-response ...
Shortwave broadcasting in a new world order: An historical examination of the influences of satellite radio and Internet radio on shortwave broadcasting since the end of the Cold War.
(2004)
From the application of shortwave frequencies to broadcasting in the 1920s until the last decade of the 20th century, international broadcasting was synonymous with shortwave broadcasting by state-run radio stations. For ...
Decolonizing personality assessment: An examination of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2.
(2005)
This research builds on a previous investigation which found that the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory - 2 (MMPI-2), the most widely used personality assessment instrument in the world, exhibits significant ...
Neural network and analytical modeling of slope stability.
(2002)
A semi-analytical method is developed for analysis of slope stability involving cohesive and non-cohesive soils. For sandy slopes, a planar slip surface is employed. For clayey slopes, circular slip surfaces are employed ...
EXPLORING THE CAPABILITIES OF THE AGILE BEAM PHASED ARRAY WEATHER RADAR
(2009)
Weather radar researchers have long been eager to exploit the capabilities of phased array antennas, but high cost and technical complexity have postponed their widespread use in radar meteorology. With the aging of the ...
Synergistic argumentation in a problem-centered learning environment.
(2002)
This research looks at argumentation in the whole-class sharing portion of a second grade problem-centered classroom learning environment in which making sense of mathematical ideas was the accepted norm. This research ...
The Brain Trust Model: A proposed change to modern change management.
(2006)
The study of change management and innovation is a perplexing and challenging undertaking. A review of the literature revealed that change management practices and methodological frameworks are currently insufficient to ...
Liberation and liberal freedom: A critique of Rawls's "Law of Peoples" in light of positive freedom.
(2006)
1T.H. Green, Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation. (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1986), 2000.
