Evaluation Of Lightweight Geofoam For Mitigating Bridge Approach Slab Settlements
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
The bump at the end of a bridge infrastructure is one of the frequent problems found in Texas and other states. Transportation agencies spend millions of dollars annually to repair the bump problem. The major cause of the ...
Orbital Stability Analysis And Chaotic Dynamics Of Exoplanets In Multi-stellar Systems
(Physics, 2014-12)
The advancement in detection technology has substantially increased the discovery rate of exoplanets in the last two decades. The confirmation of thousands of exoplanets orbiting the solar type stars has raised new ...
Experimental And Computational Study Of An IT Pod And Its Cooling System
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Conventional data centers are extremely large buildings that have complex power distribution and cooling systems. These data centers employ relatively expensive cooling systems which are inefficient. These inefficiencies ...
Computational Flow Analysis Of A Flapping Micro-flyer Wing For Cycle-averaged Force Production
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
Human engineers have been trying long to mimic creations of nature for their own benefits. One such area of interest is the insect based micro flapping wing flyers for their wide employment in commercial as well as military ...
Moving Obstacle Detection And Avoidance For Unmanned Ground Vehicle
(Mechanical Engineering, 2014-12)
This thesis presents the development and implementation of an autonomous obstacle avoidance algorithm for UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle). The research improves the prior work by enhancing the obstacle avoidance capability ...
ARC FLASH HAZARDS ANALYSIS
(2015-12-02)
Annually more than 2000 workers are admitted to hospital burn centers for extensive injuries caused by arc flash accidents. Arc flash incidents occur when unintended electric current flows through air, superheating the air ...
NANOPARTICLE-BRIDGE ASSAY FOR AMPLIFICATION-FREE ELECTRICAL DETECTION OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDES
(2015-12-08)
The aim of this research is to investigate a highly sensitive, fast, inexpensive, and field-applicable amplification-free nanoparticle-based oligonucleotide detection method which does not rely on any enzymatic or signal ...
LANDFILL VOLUME GAIN FROM THE DIVERSION OF CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE
(2015-12-09)
Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is one of the major components of the solid waste and is defined as a waste stream resulting from the construction, renovation and demolition of structures such as buildings, roads, ...
REDUCING THE ENCODING TIME OF MOTION ESTIMATION IN HEVC USING PARALLEL PROGRAMMING
(2015-12-02)
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the current state-of-art video codec which is widely being adopted by lot of users. It has close to 50% reduction in encoding time compared to its predecessor, H.264 or AVC (Advanced ...
