FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR ASTM C-76 REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES WITH REDUCED STEEL CAGE
(2016-09-13)
Reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) are composite pipes which have been widely used in the industry for more than ten decades. They are generally used for sewerage, water drainage, and industrial waste water.
There are two ...
UNDERSTANDING NUTRITIONAL HABITS OF REFUGEES FROM BURMA
(2016-09-15)
This research study examines the nutritional practices of a 21-year-old Karen, female, refugee. All aspects of nutritional practices are examined, including favorite foods, differences between foods due to geographical ...
Reproductive Numbers for Periodic Epidemic Systems
(2016-08-09)
When using mathematics to study epidemics, often times the goal is to deter- mine when an infection can invade and persist within a population. This can be done in a variety of ways but the most common is to use threshold ...
FITTING B-SPLINES CURVES TO COARSE DATA CLOUD USING MODIFIED SQUARED DISTANCE MINIMIZATION METHOD
(2016-08-22)
Additive manufacturing has made us realize that we can fabricate complex shapes that were difficult to manufacture with subtractive processes. Topology optimizations results have complex shapes and have rough surfaces which ...
Gene Expression Differences in Hybrids at Beginning of Speciation Continuum
(2016-09-16)
The formation of new species results from reproductive isolation, or the barrier to successful mating between organisms of divergent populations. The degree of reproductive isolation can be measured by the reduction in ...
A DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC DIVERSION AROUND CONSTRUCTION CLOSURES
(2016-08-12)
As highway infrastructure ages and road congestion increases, roads need to be expanded and reconstructed. It results in creating many construction sites and work zones on highways, which leads to an unavoidable interruption ...
ACTIVE FLYBACK BASED BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH PROPORTIONAL BALANCING FOR USE IN AN ELECTRIC RACE CAR
(2016-08-08)
Battery management systems are responsible for many tasks, most important of which is maintaining balance amongst the cells in a series string to prevent excess aging and unsafe operating conditions \cite{WhyBMS1}\cite{WhyBMS2}. ...
Thermal Energy Storage for Expanded Use of Data Center Indirect/Direct Evaporative Cooling
(2016-08-10)
Computer cooling system design evolved over time with goals of increasing efficiency and decreasing cost. Early computers were essentially hand-built and very expensive. Reliable operation required aggressive cooling to ...
Multi-channel all-optical signal processing
(2016-09-16)
We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, a stand-alone all-optical regenerator capable of simultaneous 2R regeneration of multiple WDM channels.
Recently, our group has proposed an all-optical ...
Time-Triggered Controller Area Network Design for Formula SAE Racecars and Technique for Measuring CPU Usage on Systems with Nested and Non-Nested Interrupts
(2016-08-26)
This document presents a design method and example for a time-triggered CAN (TTCAN) system which reduces latency, variability in transmission frequency, and increases data throughput relative to the traditional free-for-all ...
