Microbial Diversity Associated with Single Cell Protein Produced from a Brewery Wastewater Pilot Plant
Background: Brewery wastewater typically contains large untapped amounts of useful dissolved carbon measured as Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) that can be utilized for protein production for fish feed in the form of Single ... -
Predictive Bio-Computational Wear Modeling for Joint Replacements
Polyethylene wear has long been a topic of concern for the longevity of joint replacement systems as bearing failure is the leading cause for the need of revision surgery. Experimental simulations are costly and time ... -
Quasiparticle Spectrum of 2-d Dirac Vortices in Optical Lattices
Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC's) in a honeycomb optical lattice are described by a nonlinear Dirac equaton (NLDE) in the long wavelength, mean field limit [1]. The bipartite structure of the lattice appears as pseudospin ... -
Development of a Directionally Independent Roller Measurement Value
Continuous Compaction Control (CCC) and Intelligent Compaction (IC) rollers promise large potential improvements for earthwork construction. CCC rollers provide a spatial measure of soil properties (e.g., stiffness) over ... -
Model for the envelopes of spin waves in magnetic film feedback rings, A
Experimental observation of spin wave envelopes(SWE) in magnetic thin films necessarily occurs in non-conservative systems. The generation of time-stable results is realized by approximating conservation through active ... -
ADMIRE : Autonomous Dam Monitoring with Integrated Real-time Evaluation
Dams have a large impact on public safety in the United States. Dam failures are far reaching and may result in loss of property, loss of life, and loss of water storage. Despite this fact, dam inspections occur infrequently ... -
Statistical shape model for probabilistic studies of the lumbar spine, A
Introduction: Computational modeling of the spine has become a promising option for evaluating the performance of new spinal implants and procedures before they are used in patients. Most models in the literature only ... -
Study of Microalloy Precipitation in Hot Charged Slabs
As the demand for high strength and toughness of steel increases, the alloy design for HSLA grades is constantly being modified and tailored to available processing configurations. The effects of microalloy precipitation ... -
TestbedProfiler v2: An Improved Validation Tool for Wireless Sensor Network Testbed Deployment
A key aspect of deploying a wireless sensor network (WSN) is understanding the degree of connectivity between the individual nodes that comprise the network. Towards that end, we present the second incarnation of ... -
Hydrogen Peroxide Dynamics in an Agricultural Headwater Stream: Evidence for Significant Biological Production
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is known to play key roles in aquatic systems, including metal redox cycling and degradation of organic matter into bioavailable forms. Detailed knowledge of the cycling of H2O2 in natural waters ... -
Using Circuit-Level Power Measurements in Household Energy Management Systems
The first requirement for any intelligent household energy management system is to be able to accurately measure energy usage in the home. Measuring energy usage is not difficult; however we must decide what to measure. ... -
Technique for Large-Scale EBSD Mapping of Polycrystalline Silicon
The use of the electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique to create maps of polycrystalline materials is generally limited to areas less than a square millimeter. In order to map larger areas, steps must be taken ... -
Mineralogy and its contribution to anisotropy and kerogen stiffness variations with maturity in the Bakken Shales
The understanding of the controls on anisotropy and stiffness of the soft components (kerogens and clays) of organic-rich shales is important in developing methods for indirect and in-situ detection of maturity. Mineralogy ... -
Quantum Many-body Tunneling of Bose-Einstein Condensates
Consider the tunneling of a many-body wavefunction through a potential barrier. Specifically we examine quantum many-body tunneling of ultracold bosons in one dimensional optical lattice potentials. Such systems are described ... -
Microstructure-Mechanical Property Relationships for Ni-Ti-Pt High Temperature Shape Memory Alloys
Within the past decade, NASA has been developing high temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) for use as simple, robust, and lightweight solid-state actuators. Shape memory alloys (SMAs) as actuators are considered ... -
Predicted response of microstructure, distortion, and residual stress in carburized steels cooled via oil and high intensity quenching
Heat treatment simulations provide a new capability to understand and predict complicated responses, where thermal, mechanical, and microstructural effects are coupled. Simulations using DANTE® compared the response of ... -
Transformation of the U.S.-ROK Alliance : balancing American strategic flexibility and South Korean modernization, The
Even though the bilateral security alliance between South Korea and the United States is a product of Cold War it remains strategically significant for Korean and Northeast Asian stability. The alliance is currently changing ... -
Robust Optimization of NURBs Metamodels for Engineering Design
Engineering design is generally characterized as an activity where a designer compares alternative solutions to an engineering challenge in order to meet some required level of performance. Almost invariably this involves ... -
New Route to Sulfonic Acid Functional Polymers
A new route to sulfonic acid functional polymershas been developed, where a protected sulfonic acid moiety is used to carryout a controlled and directed sulfonation of poly(aryl ethers). These polymers have a variety of ... -
Coalbed Methane Produced Water Organic Matter Characterization: Contribution, Origin, and Potential Impact on Membrane Treatment Technologies
Coalbed methane (CBM) is an unconventional gas source with large worldwide reserves. CBM wells are screened along coal seams, where water is produced to release pressure and allow methane to desorb from the coal surface ...
