The objective of this research project was to increase the density, strength, and stiffness of two low to medium-density diffuse-porous hardwood species. Wood used in this study was processed using a method of wood densification known as “Viscoelastic Thermal Compression” (VTC). The VTC process is a three phase treatment which...

Ultra high temperature (UHT) processing can extend shelf life of milk to several months without refrigeration, which is more convenient and energy saving than pasteurized milk. However, the poor acceptance caused by "cooked" flavors limits its marketing growth, especially in United States. Ohmic heating, which has a more uniform and...
The structural and stress changes in molybdenum/amorphous silicon (Mo/a-Si)
EUV reflecting multilayers during annealing at 316°C were studied. The amorphous
interlayers, with an Mo:Si stoichiometry of 1:2, grew during annealing. The residual
stresses in each component of the multilayer also changed significantly. Through high
resolution electron microscopy, selected area electron...
This study determined the independent effects of various homogenization cycles and
precipitation treatments on the elevated temperature workability and the final ambient
temperature mechanical properties of AA2024 aluminum alloy and on the T3 tensile
properties of 2014 aluminum alloy as well as T6 tensile properties of 2618 and 2618 (Curich)...
