Evaluation Of Quality And Sustainability Incentives To Optimize The Indonesian To The United States Crude Oil Supply Chain
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2013-07-22)The New York Times explained that the United States increased its dependence on oil from Saudi Arabia by more than 20 percent last year (Krauss 2012). The United States of Energy Information Administration (U.S. EIA) stated ... -
EVALUATION OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS AS SHEAR KEYS IN MSE WALL BASE
(2021-05-06)Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls have been widely used as retaining structures due to their flexible nature, a better tolerance against differential settlement, and many other factors. However, external stability ... -
EVALUATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SULFATE CONTENT AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
(2022-12-19)Texas soils typically have sulfate content due to certain geologic formation types. Soil sulfate needs to be identified and quantified to minimize damage to infrastructure caused by sulfate-induced heave. Electrical ... -
An Evaluation Of Religion And Spirituality In Social Work Education
(Social Work, 2007-08-23)This study evaluated how BSW students at two Texas universities, one publicly funded and one privately funded, perceive their level of preparedness, comfort and the importance of addressing / using religion and spirituality ... -
Evaluation Of Resilient Modulus Of Cement And Cement-fiber Treated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Aggregates
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2007-08-23)Natural aggregates derived from a variety of source rocks have been used as a road base material. But the extraction of natural aggregates resources is increasingly being constrained by urbanization, increased costs and ... -
Evaluation Of Resistivity Imaging (RI) Method For Determining Unknown Deep Foundation Depth
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)There are approximately 580,000 highway bridges in the National Bridge inventory and 104,000 of these bridges are estimated to have unknown foundations type and/or depth. Determining unknown foundation length and type of ... -
