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 ...
SLOPE STABILIZATION AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING OF I-35 AND SH-183 SLOPES USING RECYCLED PLASTIC PINS
(2015-12-01)
The United States earth retaining structure market exceeds 170 million square feet annually and there are over 50 different retaining systems to select from which are unique in design and construction. Depending on the ...
Improving Hydrologic Prediction Via Data Assimilation, Data Fusion And High-resolution Modeling
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
With population growth, urbanization and climate change, accurate and skillful monitoring and prediction of water resources and water-related hazards are becoming increasingly important to maintaining and improving the ...
Cutoff Frequencies For Alfven Waves In The Solar Atmosphere
(Physics, 2014-12)
Propagation of linear Alfven waves in the isothermal and non-isothermal solaratmosphere is investigated numerically and analytically. It is shown that thetwo wave variables, the velocity and magnetic field perturbations, ...
Evolution Of Sex Ratios And Sex Determination Mechanisms: Lessons From Nematodes With Three Genders
(Biology, 2014-12)
In sexually reproducing species, the decision to allocate resources towards male and female reproductive function is called sex allocation. Although theoretical and empirical work has been largely successful, the underlying ...
Investigating The Global Geospace Response To A Period Of Solar Wind High Speed Streams Using The Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry MHD Simulation
(Physics, 2014-12)
As the solar wind flows past the Earth, it interacts with the Earth's magnetic field and transfers energy and momentum to the geospace environment. During times when the solar cycle is near a minimum, there is a tendency ...
Condition Assessment Of Fiber Reinforced Polymer Strengthening Of Bridge Components
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)
Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) is a newly developed composite type of material which have many advantages over conventional materials (concrete and steel) like light weight, non-corrosive nature, design flexibility and ...
