Utilization of Supercritical Fluids in the Fischer-tropsch Synthesis over Cobalt-Based Catalytic Systems
(2008-09-09)
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) holds great potential for the production of ultra-clean transportation fuels, chemicals, and other hydrocarbon products through the conversion of readily available syngas (CO/H2) from abundant ...
The Use of Mechanical Thinning Treatments in Management of Small Stands at the Wildland Urban Interface
(2008-09-09)
This study analyzed the productivity and costs of mechanical thinning at the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). It compared conventional commercial first thinning practices in even-aged loblolly pine plantations in the Southeast ...
On the Growth of Polynomials and Entire Functions of Exponential Type
(2008-09-09)
Concerning the growth of a polynomial and its derivative, the following inequalities
are well known as Bernstein Inequalities.
max(|z|=R) |p(z)| <= max(|z|=1) |p(z)|R^n, for R >= 1, (1)
max(|z|=1) |p0(z)| <= max(|z|=1) ...
Interactivity, Social Constructivism, and Satisfaction with Distance Learning Among Infantry Soldiers
(2008-09-09)
The purpose of this study was to determine what relationships, if any, exist among interactivity, social constructivism, and satisfaction with distance learning in the target population of U. S. Army Infantry soldiers ...
The Shields-Harary Number of Graphs
(2008-09-09)
The Shields-Harary numbers are a class of graph paramaters that measure the robustness
of a graph in terms of network vulnerability, with reference to a given cost
function.
