Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling of magnetic confinement devices is an important tool in the understanding of plasma processes. With the nearly axisymmetric tokamak being the leading candidate for a plasma fusion reactor, ...
Simulations of watershed response to land use and climate change in the Saugahatchee Creek Watershed using the WARMF model
(2011-07-28)
During recent years, land surfaces have been markedly transformed with artificial land cover limiting natural forests, accompanied by urbanization. The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases is believed to be ...
Simultaneous Controlled Release Of Multiple Comfort Molecules And The Production Of Novel High Comfort Contact Lens Materials Through Biphasic Molecular Imprinting
(2014-12-10)
Contact lens induced dry eye (CLIDE) affects approximately 80% of contact lens wearers. Extrapolating to the world wide population of 300 million contact lens wearers, there are approximately 200 million wearers who express ...
Simultaneous Detection of Salmonella Typhimurium and Bacillus Anthracis Spores Using Remote Phage-Based Magnetoelastic Microbiosensors
(2010-01-05)
This dissertation discusses the results of a study to develop a free standing,
magnetoelastic (ME) biosensor for the detection of S. typhimurium and B. anthracis
spores. This affinity-based biosensor is composed of ME ...
Simultaneous Estimation of State of Charge and State of Health of a Large Format Li-ion Cell based on an Equivalent Circuit Model
(2019-07-29)
Accurate estimations of the state of charge (SOC), capacity fade (SOHQ) and power fade (SOHP) are critical for ensuring safe and reliable operations of Lithium-ion batteries. Traditional estimation methods using complex ...
Simultaneous Fermentation and Esterification for Butyl Butyrate Production in Biphasic Medium with Clostridium tyrobutyricum
(2017-07-28)
Butyl butyrate (BB) is a valuable chemical that can be used as flavor, fragrance, extractant, etc. in various industries. Meanwhile, BB can also be used as a fuel source with excellent compatibility as gasoline, aviation ...
Simultaneous Localization and Planning of Cooperative Air Munitions via Dynamic Programming
(2008-05-15)
This work centers on the real-time trajectory planning for the cooperative control of two aerial munitions in a planar setting. One munition strikes the stationary ground target and the other will serve as an observer. ...
Simultaneous Localization Auto-Calibration and Mapping of Ground Vehicles
(2016-06-17)
This dissertation advances the state of the art of sensor auto-calibration by presenting a generic solution and analysis to the 3D sensor auto-calibration problem, as well as to the 2D simultaneous localization and ...
Simultaneous Measurement of Perfusion and T2* in Calf Muscle at 7T with Dynamic Exercise using Radial Acquisition.
(2019-05-04)
Impairments in oxygen delivery and consumption can lead to muscle weakness and physical disability. Reduced blood flow, O2 delivery and consumption to the working muscle are likely to cause decline in muscle ability to ...
Singing for Peace: A Biographic-Narrative Study of Mary Cay Brass and Her Choir and Peacebuilding Work with the Vocal Music of the Former Yugoslav Countries
(2022-05-01)
The purpose of this biographic-narrative study was to examine the musical stories and lived experiences of Mary Cay Brass and her work with choral singing and peacebuilding within her choir programs in the United States ...
Single and Multi-Phase Synchronous Buck Converter Voltage Control with Modeling, PID Controller Design, and Digital Implementation
(2014-07-03)
This paper covers the modeling and design of a digital controller for a single and multi-phase synchronous buck converter. First, a general overview of the power switching point-of-load (POL) converters will be presented. ...
Single Audit Act Findings and their Impact on State Funding Levels
(2011-05-03)
Enacted in 1984, the Single Audit Act was created to improve oversight of federal aid to state and local governments. However, recent studies have called into question the quality of work performed under the SAA. Such ...
Single Camera 3D Measurement of a Shock Wave-Turbulent Boundary Layer Interaction
(2017-04-21)
This paper explores the 3D structure of an unswept fin generated shock wave-turbulent boundary layer interaction (SBLI). A Mach 2 flow encounters an unswept fin at an angle of attack of 15 degrees which causes an inviscid, ...
