Design And Evaluation Of A Chemical Reactor For The Pyrolysis Wood Pellets
(Mechanical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Currently there is interest in converting waste biomass into valuable products, such as fuels and specialty chemicals. However, the product composition, yield, the energy required to run the reaction, and the required ...
Atomic And Molecular Adsorptions Of Hydrogen And Oxygen On Silicon Nanotubes: An Ab Initio Study
(Physics, 2013-07-22)
A systematic ab initio study of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) in single-walled, double-walled armchair and zigzag configurations will be presented. Electronic and structural properties of all these nanostructures have been ...
Assessment Of Stress/volume-controlled Soil-water Retention Properties Of Unsaturated Sandy Soils.
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-10-22)
The main objectives of this work are to determine the effect of net normal stress and volume change on the soil-water retention properties of silty sand and clayey sand soils under stressed/volume-controlled conditions; ...
Fabrication And Characterization Of Barium Titanate Thin Film On Polycrystalline Nickel Substrate
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2013-10-22)
Ferroelectric BaTiO₃(BTO) thin films were deposited on polycrystalline nickel disks and silicon wafer substrates by rf magnetron sputtering. Nickel oxide (NiO) and nanocrystalline nickel (nc-Ni) layers were used as interfacial ...
Performance Of Wavelet Denoising And Automatic Detection Of Action Potentials On Simulated And Real Electrneurographic Recordings
(Biomedical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
About 1 in 200 people living in the U.S have had an amputation at some stage in their lives. Development of neurally controlled artificial limb prosthesis with the ability to finely control motor activity continues to prove ...
Interference Mitigation In 4g LTE-A Heterogenous Networks
(Electrical Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Long Term Evolution (LTE) complements 3G networks with high data rates, low latency and a flat, IP-based architecture. It also allows operators to use a new and a much wider spectrum when compared to the previous standards. ...
" . . . But The Light's Better Here," He Said: Mischance, Misapplication, And Misdirection In Data-driven Applications
(Education, 2013-03-20)
The primary purpose of this study was to provide quantitative data on the use of released Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exams as benchmark test instruments in a sample population. Teachers have expressed ...
Cuinse2: Electronic Activities Of Grain Boundaries And Solar Cell Fabrication Studies
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
This dissertation is composed of three studies related to chalcopyrite solar cells. The first study is on electronic activities of grain boundaries (GBs) in CuInSe<sub>2</sub> (CIS). Despite being polycrystalline, chalcopyrite ...
Design Of Controlled Low Strength Material For Bedding And Backfilling Using High Plasticity Clay
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Flowable fill or Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) is a self-compacted cementitious material used in the field in the place of compacted fill. It is also known as unshrinkable fill, controlled density fill, flowable ...
