  • The iterative thermal emission Monte Carlo method for thermal radiative transfer

    Creator:
    Long, Alex R.
    Abstract:
    For over 30 years, the Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method has been used to solve challenging problems in thermal radiative transfer. These problems are typically optically thick and di ffusive, as a consequence of the high degree of "pseudo-scattering" introduced to model the absorption and reemission of photons from a...

  • Water Efficiency for Urban Landscapes in Semi-Arid Environments

    Creator:
    Martinson, Richard W.
    Abstract:
    Urban landscape water use is increasingly a focus of water conservation efforts. This is especially true in the arid and semi-arid regions of the western United States where increased demand, environmental concerns, and extended periods of drought have created chronic water shortages. However, until recently, little attention has been paid...

  • Design considerations for a miniature atmospheric engine with a magnet-actuated autonomously-reciprocating in-cylinder regenerator for portable power production

    Creator:
    Yarger, David J.
    Abstract:
    Driven by the need for high energy-density power sources, demand has stimulated the development of small-scale engines. A small-scale engine with a fuel supply could replace batteries and utilize higher energy-density liquid hydrocarbon fuels; such an advance could deliver a new age of portable devices. Currently, operable small-scale engines exist;...

    Rue, Emily A.
    Abstract:
    Polyphenolic compounds found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, are an integral part of the human diet. Within polyphenols, proanthocyanidins are referred to as condensed tannins and encompass procyanidins, propelargonidins and prodelphinidins. Among these, procyanidins are the largest group. Recent interest in these compounds is related...
