Transformed integral equations of radiative transfer and combined convection-radiation heat transfer enhancement with porous insert.
(2003)
In this dissertation, Chapter One has given an introduction including literature review. A modified direct integration method is presented in Chapter Two to solve 3-D radiative transfer in emitting, absorbing and ...
Rhizosphere ecology of PCB-degrading bacteria at a contaminated site and implications for bioremediation.
(2003)
Rhizosphere bioremediation is an emerging technology that relies on plant roots to enhance bacterial biodegradation of soil contaminants like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), providing an inexpensive alternative to ...
Surface investigations of the mechanism of single walled carbon nanotube growth by carbon monoxide disproportionation over a cobalt-molybdenum catalyst.
(2003)
To examine the validity of this hypothesis different catalyst formulations and reaction conditions have been used. These series of tests included the doping of the Co Mo catalyst with sodium, the substitution of molybdenum ...
Measurements and modeling of the Great Plains low-level jet.
(2003)
This dissertation describes a project to elucidate the turbulent and momentum structure of the Great Plains Low-Level Jet (LLJ), primarily by the use of Doppler radar. Simple theoretical and numerical models of the LLJ are ...
The feminist imaginary in the early writings of the poet/critic Susan Howe.
(2003)
Susan Howe's early work---the poetry collected in Frame Structures, Europe of Trusts, and My Emily Dickinson, reveals the emergence of a feminist imaginary. The feminist imaginary is writing which participates in the rupture ...
Aspects of land tenure in an ancient southwestern farming society in the Mimbres Valley, New Mexico.
(2003)
This dissertation investigates the origin and effects of land tenure practices in a prehistoric subsistence-level farming society in the American Southwest. Land tenure is viewed as a social response to overpopulation in ...
A high-performance inner-product processor for real and complex numbers.
(2003)
A novel, high-performance fixed-point inner-product processor based on a redundant binary number system is investigated in this dissertation. This scheme decreases the number of partial products to 50%, while achieving ...
Selective methods for the synthesis of highly-substituted cyclopentadienyl and indenyl ligands.
(2003)
Annulation methods involving cyclization of five-membered rings are regioselective approaches to highly substituted indenyl and cyclopentadienyl ligands for use in metallocene catalysts. The object of our research has been ...
Multifactor valuation models of energy futures and options on futures.
(2003)
The intent of this dissertation is to investigate continuous time pricing models for commodity derivative contracts that consider mean reversion. The motivation for pricing commodity futures and option on futures contracts ...
An experimental and numerical study of diffusion flames in cross-flow and quiescent environment at smoke point condition.
(2003)
An experimental and numerical study of a turbulent smoke point diffusion flame in a quiescent and cross-flow condition was performed. The fuel mass flow rate of a turbulent smoke point flame was determined at a quiescent ...
