Numerical Simulation Using Transition SST Model to Analyze Effects of Expanding Manifold Angle and Jet Spacing for Submerged Liquid Jet Impingement
(2018-07-23)
Increasing numbers of under-hood sensors and power electronics modules are becoming standard in both commercial and military vehicles. In order to function reliably, these technologies require a dedicated and dynamic cooling ...
Numerical Simulations of Boiling in Dielectric Fluid Immersion Cooling Scenarios of High Power Electronics
(2014-04-28)
As server technologies have progressed, the traditional methods of blade level cooling have become very costly. Up to this point, most server units have been cooled through forced air convection; a process that requires ...
Numerical Simulations of Conservation Laws in Random Heterogeneous Media
(2020-07-17)
Conservation laws play an important role in many areas of natural science. When we design numerical schemes for conservation laws, we usually assume that initial data and flux function (the rate of change of quantity of ...
Numerical Simulations of the Fourth Avenue Landslide Considering Cyclic Softening
(2019-04-23)
Cyclic softening of fine grained soils has led to significant infrastructure damage in previous earthquakes. Despite this, methods to evaluate the potential deformations due to cyclic softening are not as well developed ...
Numerical Study of High Lift Configurations
(2017-07-27)
This study investigates the numerical prediction capability of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in resolving the high-lift aerodynamics. Various numerical aspects in CFD is explored in this research which includes different ...
Numerically Modeling Structural Behavior of Precast Three-Sided Arch Bridges for Analysis and Design
(2012-05-15)
Foley Products contracted with Auburn University to perform laboratory testing
and design validation of three-sided bottomless precast concrete structures being
produced. Tests performed included a field test on an active ...
Nursery Habitat and Hatch Dates of Large River Fishes of the Lower Red River Catchment
(2023-04-27)
Many freshwater fishes in North America are of conservation concern. Both fine-and coarse-scale physicochemical conditions affect the quantity and quality of nursery habitat and can influence the hatches and growth of ...
Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Carcass Characteristics of Broilers Fed Diets Formulated with Low Oligosaccharide Soybean Meals
(2012-07-19)
The objective of this research was to evaluate nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and processing yields of Ross × Ross 708 male broilers fed diets formulated with low oligosaccharide soybean meal (LOSBM) and ...
Nutrient Dynamics in an Old-Growth Bottomland Forest: Congaree National Park, South Carolina
(2013-12-16)
Floodplains are important landscapes that act as boundaries between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Past research efforts have illustrated that floodplains perform many beneficial functions, such as sediment retention ...
Nutrient Intake and Epigenetic Influences on Childhood Obesity: A Racial Perspective
(2023-12-01)
Obesity, a complex condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, poses a significant public health challenge. Despite extensive efforts in dietary, exercise, educational, surgical, and pharmacological ...
Nutrient Uptake and Plant Selection in Southeastern Rain Gardens
(2010-08-13)
A bioretention rain garden is an innovative stormwater management practice that integrates stormwater infiltration and storage to improve the quality of runoff. Part1. Two bioretention rain garden designs constructed at ...
Nutritional Ecology of Pseudacteon species (Diptera: Phoridae) and Its Impact on Their Fitness
(2015-07-24)
Natural enemies, such as Pseudacteon parasitic flies, have the potential to provide sustainable suppression of imported fire ants, Solenopsis species. Multiple releases of various species of these flies have been made ...
Nutritional strategies for mitigating wooden breast and white striping myopathies of the Pectoralis major muscles in broiler chickens
(2017-04-17)
Throughout the last decade, broiler producers have increasingly noted the presence of wooden breast (WB) and white striping (WS) in the Pectoralis major muscles (breast fillet) of broilers. Non-genetic factors, such as ...
Nutritive quality of Coastal bermudagrass treated with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria
(2017-04-15)
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are naturally occurring, non-pathogenic soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots. These beneficial bacteria increase nutrient uptake, pest resistance, drought tolerance, ...
Obesity as a Function of the Efficient Allocation of Time and Optimality in Consumption: A Theoretical and Empirical Examination
(2005-08-15)
The goal of this thesis is to examine the relationship between economic conditions, such as allocative efficiency, utility maximization and time costs, and obesity. A theory is developed and two empirical models tested. ...
Obesity Effects on Preferred Driving Postures and Vehicle Interior Component Settings
(2011-07-05)
The effects of obesity were investigated with a highly adjustable vehicle mock-up. 44 participants (23 non-obese, 21 extremely obese individuals) were involved in the study. The extremely obese and non-obese group had ...
