Effect of Injection Rate and Post-Fill Cure Pressure on Properties of Resin Transfer Molded Disks
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2002-08-01)
The effects of flow rate andpost-fill cure pressure, i.e., packing pressure, on the mechanical properties of resin transfer molded disks are experimentally investigated. An experimental molding setup is constructed to ...
A Framework for Understanding Charter School Accountability
(Education and Urban Society, 2001-02-01)
Organization Culture as an Explanation for Employee Discipline Practices
(Review of Public Personnel Administration, 2006-03-01)
Most supervisors dread employee discipline and often employ strategies not officially sanctioned by the organization. Poorly designed discipline systems cause this variation in discipline practices. Inconsistent discipline ...
Vibration-based Health Monitoring of Earth Structures
(Structural Health Monitoring, 2005-06-01)
Vibration-based health monitoring (VBHM) has successfully been used to assess the structural damage to bridges, buildings, aircraft, and rotating machinery. There is significant incentive to apply VBHM techniques to the ...
Calorimetric and Rheological Measurements of Three Commercial Thermosetting Prepreg Epoxies
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2006-05-01)
The cure kinetics of three different thermosetting resins are investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and oscillatory shear rheometry. For the latter, two different types of plates are used, smooth plates and ...
To Log or Not to Log: Bootstrap as an Alternative to the Parametric Estimation of Moderation Effects in the Presence of Skewed Dependent Variables
(Organizational Research Methods, 2000-04-01)
When gross deviations from parametric assumptions are observed, conventional data transformations are often applied with little regard for substantive theoretical implications. One such transformation involves using the ...
“I am not a robot!” Interpreters' Views of Their Roles in Health Care Settings
(Qualitative Health Research, 2008-10-01)
In this study, I examined interpreters' self-perceived roles and their corresponding communicative goals and strategies. Twenty-six professional interpreters (of 17 languages), 4 patients, and 12 health care providers were ...
Porosity Reduction in the High-Speed Processing of Glass-Fiber Composites by Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
(Journal of Composite Materials, 2004-02-01)
High-speed processing is essential to achieve lower production cost in the fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites with the current liquid molding practices. A major consequence of increasing the resin injection velocity ...
Plasticity in the Olfactory System: Lessons for the Neurobiology of Memory
(The Neuroscientist, 2004-12-01)
We are rapidly advancing toward an understanding of the molecular events underlying odor transduction, mechanisms of spatiotemporal central odor processing, and neural correlates of olfactory perception and cognition. A ...
