Creator:: Rector, David R.
Abstract:: In this work, a method for solving the differential form of the radiative transfer equation was implemented into an existing three-dimensional thermal-hydraulic computer program known as TEMPEST. The method used was the P-l approximation, where the angular distribution of the radiation intensity is represented by a truncated series of spherical...

Creator:: Maunder, Cary R.
Abstract:: A distinct characteristic of legged locomotion is its periodic nature. This periodic motion, in the form of a periodic orbit, has been the target of many walking and running control strategies. The spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) has become a popular model of sagittal plane locomotion, exhibiting behavior characteristic of...

Creator:: Kuffner, Tom A.
Abstract:: This thesis reports on research conducted to determine the information which should be included in a mechanical design history. This is part of a larger research effort aimed at developing a computer tool for storing and replaying mechanical design history information. Three question-asking protocols were conducted to determine what information...

Creator:: Ocana, Juan Carlos
Abstract:: This thesis presents a discussion of the main materialistic theories proposed to explain the process of development among the indigenous population of Latin America. Four theoretical approaches are presented and discussed. The first one deals with the social group referred to as peasants. The second one explains the process of...

Creator:: Molina-Cruz, Adolfo
Abstract:: Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments, (2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...

Creator:: Masters, Keith R. W.
Abstract:: Lumber drying accounts for about 70 percent of sawmill energy requirements. Significant recovery of energy used to dry lumber would result in significant energy recovery for the mill. This is desirable because of today's high cost of energy. The objective of this study was to recover some of the energy...
