  • Effect of hydrous ethanol on crankcase oil dilution

    Creator:
    Khalifa, Gamaleldin A.
    Abstract:
    Adequate lubrication is of the utmost importance in internal combustion engines. Low temperature operation with low-proof alcohol may create some operational problems if alcohol and or water accumulates in the crankcase oil. Condensates of unburned alcohol and water may be blown into the crankcase oil with blow by gases. The...

  • Principal component analysis of low resolution energy spectra to identify gamma sources in moving vehicle traffic

    Creator:
    Keillor, Martin E.
    Abstract:
    A system intended to detect, classify, and track radioactive sources in moving vehicle traffic is under development at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). This system will fuse information from a network of sensor suites to provide real time tracking of the location of vehicles emitting gamma and/or neutron radiation. This...

  • Right-hook crash causality at signalized intersections

    Creator:
    Jannat, Mafruhatul
    Abstract:
    A Right-hook (RH) crash is a common type of bicycle-motor vehicle crash that occurs between a right-turning vehicle and through-moving bicycle at an intersection. At signalized intersections, RH crashes can occur at the onset of the green or during the latter portion of the green phase. In spite of the...
