(2015-12-07)Modern Information Technology (IT) equipment are typically assumed to operate in quiescent airflow conditions in an uncontained data center facility. In this study, the multi-scaled thermal management strategies are ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON RESILIENT BEHAVIOR OF GEOCELL-REINFORCED RECYCLED ASPHALT PAVEMENT BASE LAYER: MODEL DEVELOPMENT
(2017-12-14)Recycled Asphalt Material (RAP) is defined as removed and reprocessed pavement materials containing asphalt and aggregates. These materials are obtained when asphalt pavements are removed for the rehabilitation and maintenance ... -
Experimental Study On Seismic Performance Of Reinforced Concrete Coupling Beams And Rectangular Squat Walls With Innovative Reinforcement Configurations
(2015-12-08)Reinforced concrete core walls, coupled by diagonally reinforced coupling beams (DCBs), are a very efficient seismic force resisting system for medium- to high-rise buildings. The diagonal reinforcing bars in DCBs are most ... -
Experimental Study On The Effects Of Gaseous Contamination On IT Equipment
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-10-22)Every company is trying to reduce their carbon footprint in today's world. The data center industry is no different. To reduce the cooling costs and increase the efficiency, air -side economizers are used. Air-side ... -
An Experimental Study On Thermal Bonding Effects Of PMMA Based Micro-devices Using Hot Embossing
(Mechanical Engineering, 2008-08-08)Basic configuration and functioning of various subsystems of a developed HEMM system for thermal bonding are discussed. The bond strength and micro channel geometry degradations dependence on controlled process parameters ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF METAL FOAM HEAT SINKS IN SINGLE PHASE LIQUID IMMERSION COOLING
(2023-12-19)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 02/01/2025** In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore made the observation that the transistor counts on a chip double with a frequency of approximately every two years. ... -
An Experimental Test Of Extended Contact Hypothesis: Its Boundary Conditions And Psychological Processes
(Psychology, 2012-04-11)The extended contact hypothesis states that contact with an ingroup member, who has an outgroup friend, facilitates favorable outgroup attitudes (Wright, Aron, McLaughlin-Volpe, & Ropp, 1997). An experimental manipulation ... -
An Experimental Test Of The Reformulated Contact Model
Intergroup contact is generally accepted as an effective means of reducing negative outgroup attitudes. However, the nature of the psychological processes underlying the effects of contact is a point of much debate. In an ... -
