On the Stability of Emulsions.
(1981)
An emulsion is a dispersion of one liquid in another and is a thermodynamically unstable system and possesses a natural tendency to break. Stability to flocculation of acoustically formed emulsions and emulsion stability ...
High-Performance Placement and Routing for the Nanometer Scale.
(2009)
Modern semiconductor manufacturing facilitates single-chip electronic systems that only five years ago required ten to twenty chips. Naturally, design complexity has grown within this period. In contrast to this growth, ...
Exponential Family Predictive Representations of State.
(2008)
Many agent-environment interactions can be framed as dynamical systems
in which agents take actions and receive observations. These
dynamical systems are diverse, representing such things as a biped
walking, a stock price ...
High Performance Quantum Dot Laser WDM Arrays for Optical Interconnects.
(2012)
Robust photonic integrated circuits (PICs) capable of operating at high temperatures with low power consumption, low delay, and good signal integrity will be essential for future on-chip communication. The most practical ...
Multiple pass aeroassisted plane change.
(1988)
In the problem of aeroassisted orbital plane change, it has been found that, for a large single-pass aerodynamic plane change, an initial negative lift is used to bring the hypervelocity vehicle to a sufficiently low ...
Multi-Scale Design for Durable Repair of Concrete Structures.
(2009)
The huge flow of material and energy driven by concrete global production and consumption, and by the rapid deterioration of concrete infrastructure systems, have created great economic, social and environmental impacts ...
Computational Modeling of Soot Nucleation.
(2011)
Recent studies indicate that soot is the second most significant driver of climate change - behind CO2, but ahead of methane - and increased levels of soot particles in the air are linked to health hazards such as heart ...
Generalized mixed model assembly line sequencing problem.
(1988)
Mixed Model Assembly Lines (MMALs) are increasingly used to produce differentiated products on a single assembly line without work-in-process storage. We address the problem of sequencing MMALs consisting of one station ...
Cyclic Behavior of Angle X-Bracing with Welded Connections.
(1985)
X-braced systems are commonly used in practical structures due mainly to the economy they provide over other bracing patterns. Notwithst and ing their popularity, only a few experimental studies have been reported on small ...
The effects of corrosion on the reliability of concrete bridge girders.
(1989)
The objective of this thesis is to model the strength losses due to corrosion of steel in concrete bridge girders and to develop an analytical procedure for evaluation of the effects of reinforcement corrosion on bridge ...
