Thin Film Multichip Packaging for High Temperature Geothermal Application
(2015-07-28)
A DOE sponsored study by MIT concluded that geothermal energy could provide 100,000 MWe or more in 50 years by using advanced technology knowns as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). In EGS, the measurement-while-drilling ...
Effect of Torrefaction on Biomass Structure and Product Distribution from Fast Pyrolysis
(2015-01-13)
Torrefaction, a thermal pretreatment process, has been documented to improve the chemical composition of bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis process. During torrefaction pretreatment, the major constituents of biomass ...
The Temporal Patterning of Spontaneous High-Rate Behavior: An Evaluation of Bout Partitioning Methods for Behavior Under Neurotoxicant Challenge
(2015-01-07)
Across species, much free-operant behavior exhibits a temporal pattern characterized by bouts of activity and periods of disengagement. Analysis of interevent time distributions has been widely used to characterize bout ...
Modeling the Effects of Projected Sea Level Rise on Water Quality in Coastal Bangladesh
(2015-05-04)
Climate models show that Bangladesh will experience high rates of change in temperature, precipitation, runoff, and local sea level rise rates by 2100. Sea level rise will result in the degradation of groundwater quality ...
Determinants of National Policy on Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research in Selected Countries: A Comparative Study
(2015-04-30)
Embryonic stem cells have remained a polarizing issue around the globe. The plethora of potential applications and technologies are unfamiliar to most of society. Politicians and policy analysts continually work to pass ...
Implementation of Fork-Merge Parsing in OpenRefactory/C
(2015-05-04)
C preprocessor directives are extensively used in C programs. Due to this, performing advanced program transformations on C programs is difficult. To obtain correct transformations, all possible configurations have to be ...
Multi-robot SLAM and map merging
(2015-05-04)
Although it is a very useful technique for a robot to detect an unknown environment and plot the map, mapping is a classic problem in robotics. The mapping task can be sped up by multi-robot cooperation. Each robot in a ...
Development of High Performance Filtration System Using Composite Bed Filter and Multi-element Structured Array
(2015-07-28)
A composite nonwoven (CNW) material, activated carbon fiber enhanced microfibrous
entrapped sorbent (ACF-MFES) , was prepared by incorporating micro sized (100-500µm)
sorbent particulates into the blended microfiber ...
Development of lipid based nanoparticles for melanoma treatment
(2015-02-12)
Melanoma is the most malignant skin cancer with high mortality. Currently, it can be treated multiple ways, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. However, patients under these therapies usually have low ...
Effectiveness of selected erosion control covers during vegetation establishment under simulated rainfall
(2015-01-07)
Soil erosion on unprotected roadside slopes generates significant soil loss during storm events. Proper surface protection to reduce erosion is promoted by water protection agencies including the United States Environmental ...
