Free vibration of circular arches
(1969)
The lower natural frequencies and the associated modes of vibration of uniform circular arches which are either fixed or simply supported at the ends are computed and studied in this thesis. A general theory which considers ...
Model development for a highly sloped, limestone watershed to be used in a radar-based flood alert system
(2005)
Flood Warning Systems are not a new commodity to the hydrologic world, however, the advancements in GIS data, hydrologic modeling tools, NEXRAD, and internet capabilities have allowed for improvements in flood prediction. ...
New polymeric compositions for nonflammable and thermally stable foams
(1992)
There is a great need to develop new polymer foam systems that combine the advantages of polyurethane foams (low cost, ease of processing, desirable physical properties) with nonflammability and thermal stability which ...
Testing of the muon port card and related electronics for the CMS endcap muon trigger system
(2004)
This thesis is related to the design of the level one endcap muon trigger system for the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This system is designed to use muon measurements to help ...
Particle fluxes at geosynchronous orbit and in the plasma sheet during a substorm: Implications for adiabatic convection
(1990)
Energetic particles are injected into the geosynchronous-orbit region of the Earth's magnetosphere during events called magnetospheric substorms. This injection process has been investigated utilizing the Magnetospheric ...
An evaluation of produced water treatment and the associated costs
(1996)
Produced waters are characterized with respect to the amounts and chemical constituents generated in oil and gas production. Removal of portions of total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, volatile organic chemicals, ...
Stabilization and throughput of spread spectrum multiple access systems with multiple reception capability
(1992)
The task of stabilizing communication networks sharing a spread spectrum channel is addressed. A slotted system is considered and the stabilization is achieved by controlling the number of packets that are transmitted in ...
Interprocedural constant propagation: A study of jump function implementations
(1993)
Procedure calls have long been recognized as an impediment to performance in compiled code. This happens because procedure calls hide information from the compiler. Interprocedural constant propagation attempts to discover ...
The kicked atom: Characterization of quasi-one-dimensional Rydberg atoms and their nonlinear dynamics
(2005)
The characteristics of strongly-polarized quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) Rydberg atoms produced by photoexcitation of selected Stark states in the n = 350 Stark manifold are investigated by studying their ionization ...
Modeling an algebraic stepper
(2001)
Programmers rely on the correctness of their tools. Semanticists have long studied the correctness of compilers, but we make the case that other tools deserve semantic models, too, and that using these models can help in ...
