The relationship of precipitation in the western United States to variations in the outgoing long-wave radiation field over the tropical Pacific : the role of the mid-latitude circulation

Creator:: Twining, David S.
Abstract:: The relationship between the outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) field over the tropical Pacific and wintertime monthly precipitation for the western U. S. is investigated, using the mid-latitude upper-air circulation as an intermediary. Principal components (PC's) of the 500mb monthly averaged height field over the NE Pacific and western North America...

Continuum mechanics methods applied to root growth and the penetration of soil by roots

Creator:: McCoy, Edward L.
Abstract:: The principles of continuum mechanics provide a consistent framework for the derivation of mathematical statements describing transport of water and solute, and growth in plant tissue. These derivations are based upon the explicit consideration of the tissue as a mathematical continuum composed of a cell wall matrix, water, and solute...

Biodegradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its breakdown products by propane and iso-pentane grown Mycobacterium vaccae and Graphium sp. : cometabolism, inhibition, kinetics, and modeling

Creator:: Martínez-Prado, Maria Adriana
Abstract:: Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 and Graphium sp. were studied to evaluate their ability to cometabolize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its metabolites after growth on two different alkanes, propane and iso-pentane. Both cultures were capable of cometabolizing MTBE and the metabolites, tert-butyl formate (TBF) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA). MTBE, TBF, and...

A study of adiabatic and diabatic flow boiling in parallel microchannels and fractal-like branching microchannels

Creator:: Daniels, Brian J.
Abstract:: A one-dimensional numerical model has been developed to study diabatic and adiabatic flow boiling in microchannels. This model accounts for developing flow effects and variable property effects. The model uses correlations for void fraction and two-phase multipliers found in the literature. The model has been used to study the performance...

A composite-beam finite element for seismic analysis of wood-framed buildings

Creator:: Lee, Chyuan-shen
Abstract:: A computer program called SAPWOOD which possesses the capability of performing linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic response including seismic excitation for wood-framed buildings with semirigid connection systems is presented in this study. Program SAPWOOD is a modification of the program NONSAP by adding new elements such as a linkage...

Deterministic and stochastic behaviors of a piecewise-linear system

Creator:: Mha, Ho-Seong
Abstract:: The (nonlinear) response behavior of a piecewise-linear system is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic excitations in this study. A semi-analytical procedure is developed to predict the system behavior by evaluating the joint probability density functions of the Fokker-Planck equations of the stochastic piecewise-linear system under random excitations via a...
