The feasibility of using a post harvest sampling time for
fruit testing in Anjou pears was evaluated. The goal was to
determine if a simple and rapid analysis of fruit tissues could be
useful in identifying potentially weak fruit that could be
marketed before the onset of the storage disorder...
This thesis describes a Truck Performance Simulation Model developed
for use in a United States Department of Transportation university
research project entitled "The Energy, Economic and Environmental
Consequences of Increased Vehicle Size and Weight." The performance
of the truck is found by specifying its engine, driveline and tire
characteristics and...
The digital revolution has brought information to every corner of our daily lives. Inexpensive and flexible integrated circuits are needed for this continuing revolution. Silicon technology, the current workhorse of microelectronic industry, is far from inexpensive and flexible. Researchers are taking several different routes to achieve this goal. Amorphous silicon...
This paper presents a study of the distribution of assembly language instructions in two avionics software applications and the development of an information theoretic software complexity metric based on the study. The instructions were grouped into classes , e.g. load and store, arithmetic, jump, compare, etc. As expected the distribution...
The purpose of this research was to evaluate a web-based training program for mentors of distance graduate students enrolled in a distance Master of Science Dietetic Management Program.
