In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal
heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless,
this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water.
Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the
water volume transport necessary to remove this...
A mathematical model of the atmosphere in an airshed is developed, which relates pollutant source distributions and intensities
to the volume of air available for dispersion and to pollutant concentrations
or air quality standards. It can be used as a tool for obtaining
an answer to an air resource management...
Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), primarily indium doped tin oxide, have been widely used in numerous fields since decades ago, such as solar cells, displays, OLEDs and ‘smart windows’ etc. Owing to the scarcity of indium, there is a great demand for new alternative materials. Metal/insulator/metal (MIM) diodes are a critical...
Level of aspiration plays a part in achievement motivation which
supports teaching/learning in motor performances. In the past,
females reported poorer ability in performances, set lower levels of
aspiration, and had lesser achievement motives than males (Crandall,
1969; Stein & Bailey, 1973; Sumner & Johnson, 1949). Some researchers
found there...
The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a rare member of the seabird family Alcidae that breeds in coastal areas of Alaska and Beringian Russia. The species belongs to the genus Brachyramphus, an unusual seabird taxon in which all three extant species nest non-colonially, situating their nests up to 75 km...
This thesis will discuss two critical components of a digital system -- domino logic styles and flip-flops. In today's microprocessors, both domino logic and flip-flops are essential to high-performance and low-power design. Two new domino logic styles are presented and analyzed, Double Edge Triggered (DET) and Double Data Rate (DDR)...
Current observations were obtained at three locations forming
a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen
days of data were selected from each series so that nearly
simultaneous observations were used in the analysis.
Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to
performing a least squares...
This thesis describes the transport properties observed in thermally treated graphite oxide (GO), which holds promise as an economical route to obtaining graphene. Graphene is a material consisting of a single atomic plane of carbon atoms and was first isolated as recently as 2004. Several isolation techniques have been investigated,...
