Construction and evaluation of an airshed-episode model for air resource management

Creator:: Reiquam, Howard Edward, 1931-
Abstract:: A mathematical model of the atmosphere in an airshed is developed, which relates pollutant source distributions and intensities to the volume of air available for dispersion and to pollutant concentrations or air quality standards. It can be used as a tool for obtaining an answer to an air resource management...

A Beta-Gamma Radioxenon Detection System using Ultra-Bright Inorganic Scintillators and Solid State Detectors

Creator:: Czyz, Steven A.
Abstract:: The atmospheric detection of four radioxenon isotopes (131mXe, 133mXe, 133Xe, and 135Xe) released during a nuclear detonation is a key tool utilized by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) to identify clandestine nuclear weapon testing activity. These radioxenon isotopes all decay via the near-simultaneous release of an electron and a...

Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

Creator:: Gomez, R. Antonio
Abstract:: Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

Assessing Mass Diffusion Modeling in Premixed Flames

Creator:: Fillo, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Implementing multicomponent diffusion in numerical combustion studies is computationally expensive due to the challenges involved in computing diffusion coefficients. As a result, mixture-averaged diffusion treatments or simpler methods are used to avoid these costs. However, the accuracy and appropriateness of the mixture-averaged diffusion model has not been verified for three-dimensional...

Experimental analysis of task prioritization training for a group of university flight technology students

Creator:: Hoover, Amy L.
Abstract:: Task prioritization performance was evaluated for pilots who participated in a concurrent task management (CTM) training course and pilots who did not. CTM is the process by which pilots selectively attend to high priority tasks and shed non-priority tasks. Twenty seven pilots enrolled in a university flight technology program were...

Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

Creator:: Kang, Jian
Abstract:: The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

Determinants of electrical energy demand for a state; methodology and system simulation

Creator:: Devine, Warren D.
Abstract:: The determinants of electrical energy demand for the State of Oregon are represented in a mathematical model. This model is structured to operate in parallel with a computer simulation model of the state and is utilized independently to investigate electrical energy consumption during various scenarios of economic activity and energy...

Airborne sampling of particles emitted to the atmosphere from Kraft paper mill processes and their characterization by electron microscopy

Creator:: Augustine, Frank Edward
Abstract:: A high volume sampling system, employing Nuclepore filters and designed for sampling particulate in the plumes from industrial sources using a light aircraft, is described. The effluent of kraft paper mills was sampled using this system and then analyzed by electron microscopy. Size distributions of particles were obtained at several...

Energy-Efficient Resource Management Techniques for Cloud Data Centers

Creator:: Dabbagh, Mehiar
Abstract:: Energy consumption has become a great deal for cloud service providers due to financial as well as environmental concerns. Studies show that cloud servers operate, most of the time, at only between 10% and 50% of their maximal utilizations. These same studies also show that servers that are kept ON...
