This thesis brings together under one cover a survey
of the history of the real number e along with a study
of the present state of its theory and calculation.
The objectives of this investigation were to determine the effect
of pulverization on the strength, durability and swell characteristics
of a lime stabilized clay soil. Samples were prepared with three different
gradations which represented the pulverization of the soil.
Maximum clay lump sizes of 3/4", 1/2" and passing #4 sieve...
It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...
Knot Theory: In Imitation of Lewis Thomas is a collection of 14, 1200-word essays written in the style of Lewis Thomas, a physician who regularly contributed to The New England Journal of Medicine. His 1200-word column, "Notes of a Biology Watcher," ran from 1971 - 1980. The resulting compilations collectively...
As drop-on-demand (DOD) applications continue to gain ground in desktop inkjet-printing, 3D printing, fluid mixing, and other areas the demand for higher frequency operations are beginning to push against the current physical boundaries in DOD technology. The current research is exploring the possibility of controlling drop volume and velocity at...
