Development of a Hardware and Software Redundant Cube Satellite Flight Computer
(2018-07-18)
Flight computers (FCs) for cube satellites, or cubeSats, have been unreliable in the harsh
environment of space. Radiation single event effects (SEE) and total ionization dose (TID) cause
significant failure in spacecraft. ...
Development of a High Dynamic Velocity Range Processing Scheme for Time-Resolved Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements
(2013-05-02)
The development, validation, and demonstration of a novel computational procedure to supplementally process time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR PIV) measurements are described. The motivation for such work stems ...
Development of a High Speed Three-dimensional Flow Visualization Technique
(2007-12-15)
A high-speed three-dimensional flow visualization technique has been developed. The technique involves the generation of laser pulses at a high repetition rate, which are subsequently converted to sheets of light and ...
Development of a Laboratory Apparatus to Study the Thermal Degradation Behavior of Commercial Jet Engine Oils
(2012-01-12)
Air quality on airplanes is a key priority of the Federal Aviation Association (FAA). It is suspected that, although rare, oil leaks in the engine can potentially allow contaminants into the air supply that is provided to ...
Development of a Mass Concrete Specification for Use in ALDOT Bridge Construction
(2017-08-29)
Special precautions must be taken when constructing concrete elements designated as mass concrete. These precautions may be satisfied through the formation of a mass concrete specification. Temperature requirements must ...
Development of a Means to Calculate Project-Specific Liquidated Damages on ALDOT Projects Exceeding $20 Million
(2018-11-07)
This research effort sought to create a justifiable means for developing a project-specific liquidated damages (LD) calculation method for high value projects to be adopted by the Alabama Department of Transportation ...
Development of a Microcantilever Based MEMS Device for Biosensor Application
(2010-12-10)
In this project a microcantilever based MEMS device for biosensing application had been developed. The geometrical aspects of the cantilever beam structure had been studied for increasing the sensitivity of the sensor ...
Development of a More Sustainable Sweetpotato Production System in Alabama
(2005-12-15)
Field experiments were conducted from 2003-2005 to evaluate the influence of grass and legume cover crops, no-tillage, and varying rates of nitrogen on commercial sweetpotato production. Cover crops used for the no-till ...
Development of a Multi-band Plenoptic Camera for High Temperature Measurements
(2020-05-13)
In this thesis, the development of a novel multi-band plenoptic pyrometer is discussed and applied to several applications of interest in the engineering field. The multi-band plenoptic camera is a non-contact measurement ...
Development of a Multi-mode Adaptive Controller and Investigation of Gain Variations with Speed and Balance Changes
(2014-03-20)
Magnetic bearings offer a number of advantages over conventional rolling element bearings. Magnetic bearings provide support for rotating systems through magnetic levitation rather than by mechanical contact, nearly ...

(2017-09-21)
Magnetic bearings offer a number of advantages over conventional rolling element bearings.
Magnetic bearings provide support for rotating systems through magnetic levitation rather
than by mechanical contact, nearly ...
The Development of a Non-Reading Inventory: The Cannon Picture Interest
(2009-05-04)
Dr. John Holland’s theory of career development (1959, 1966, 1973a, 1985(a) 1985(b) and1997) is a developmental theory based on the fit of an individual’s personality to the work environment. He has developed several ...
Development of a Non-solvent Based Test Method for Evaluating Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixes
(2005-08-15)
The objectives of this research are twofold. The first is to develop and validate an indirect tension stress relaxation test methodology for assessing asphalt binder properties using compacted hot mix asphalt (HMA) samples. ...
The Development of a Nucleic Acid-Directed Switch and Proximity Dependent Protein Assays using Electrochemical Techniques
(2018-10-09)
The analysis of nucleic acids (NA), has increased demand for point-of-care systems, such as rapid preventive health care, forensic applications, etc. Thus inspired, a vast amount of biosensor platforms for the detection ...
Development of a one-dimensional moving window atomistic framework to model steady state shock wave propagation
(2020-04-10)
We develop a long-time, large-domain moving window atomistic framework using Molecular Dynamics (MD) to model shock wave propagation through a one-dimensional system. We implement ideas of control volume on a MD framework ...
Development of a Performance-Based Mix Design for Porous Friction Course
(2016-08-04)
The development of a performance-based mix design procedure for Porous Friction Course (PFC) will help to mitigate some of the life cycle issues encountered with PFC pavements. PFC pavements are prone to raveling and ...
