The engineering design process and the advancement of future computer-aided-design systems need new design aids to be used during the conceptual design phase. This design phase is where information gathering and understanding of the problem are developed, analyzed and broken into small more manageable elements. These elements consist of customer...
People interested in economic development in rural communities are often faced with the need to estimate impacts of economic changes or to forecast population, employment, business activity, or public service demands.
An economic "tool" that is often used to assist in this task is the "multiplier." This circular is designed...
Most of the period of my visit was spent working in the turbulence
section of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics. Brief visits were made
to the Institute of Oceanology, Academy of Sciences in Moscow, to some
departments of Moscow State University, and to one department of the
Institute of Oceanology...
Bacteria found in clarified ovine rumen fluid are capable of degradation of high-energy explosives such as RDX (Hexahydro-1,3,-trinitro‐1,3,5‐triazine) and HMX (Octahydro‐1,3,5,7‐tetranitro‐1,3,5,7-tetrazocine).
Today, considering the sustainability of the nuclear technology in the energy mix policy of developing and developed countries, the international community starts the development of new advanced reactor designs. In this framework, Oregon State University (OSU) has constructed, a system level test facility to examine natural circulation phenomena of importance...
Abstract In this work, we study the transient behavior of homogenized models for solute transport
in two-region porous media. We focus on the following three models: (1) a time nonlocal, two-equation
model (2eq-nlt). This model does not rely on time constraints and, therefore, is particularly
useful in the short-time regime,...
Powdery mildew of hop (Podosphaera macularis) may cause economic loss due to reductions in cone yield and quality.
Quantitative estimates of crop damage from powdery mildew remain poorly characterized, especially the effect of late season
disease management on crop yield and quality. Field studies in Washington State evaluated cone yield,...
