The problem of downward continuation of potential fields is
being considered. The basic approach involves computation in real
space using a power series expansion. The computation of the derivatives
required for evaluating the series is carried out on the basis of
two approximation methods, viz. (1) polynomial method, and
(2)...
The continuation of conductive temperature fields is being
considered. The continuation of a field involves the extrapolation of a
field known over a limited domain to an adjacent domain in such a way
that it satisfies the heat conduction differential equation and other
imposed constraints. Continuations forward in time and...
In the construction of a cab-over-engine semi tractor, Freightliner
Corporation of Portland, Oregon uses brackets to make the connection
between the front leaf spring mounts, bumper, front hinges
for the tilt-cab and the longitudinal frame rails. One bracket is used
on each side. The integrity of these brackets is essential...
This report presents the off-design analysis of various
wood-fired combined-cycle power plants using a computer
model to simulate plant performance. The combined-cycle
systems investigated are characterized by having a woodfueled
combustor, an indirect-fired gas turbine, and a
Rankine steam cycle. This work was conducted as part of a
larger biomass...
This investigation was designed to determine the effectiveness
of video-tape feedback as a technique to modify some selected behaviors
of untrained prospective elementary teachers. Four verbal
and four nonverbal behaviors were considered; they were: teacher
questioning, teacher telling, teacher distractive verbal, teacher
allowing for pupil verbal, teacher constructive nonverbal, teacher...
