Ozone generation is a problem associated with indoor air cleaners that utilize a corona to ionize particles. This experimentation utilized a negative corona and investigated the effect that external electrode wire heating ...

An analytical tool is developed that is capable of predicting both present and future transportation policy impact on urban air quality. The Transportation Air Pollution Analysis Procedure (TAPIP) combines a versatile ...

Single-mode optical fiber has been widely used not only in long-haul, high speed digital communication systems but also in sensing applications because of its inherent immunity to electromagnetic interference, low transmission ...

This thesis is an historical social analysis of the Southern textile industry of 1880 to 1940, the industry which brought about the industrialization of the South. The initial class relationship institutionalized between ...

Systems are developed to fulfill certain requirements. Several system design configurations usually can fulfill the technical requirements, but at different equivalent life-cycle costs. The problem is how to manipulate and ...

We describe an adaptive filter system that is able to switch between adaptive filter algorithms in order to produce fast convergence and low mean Square error (MSE). The switching system employs two adaptive filters for ...

Several rainfall-runoff models were investigated in order to select a precipitation excess generator for an implicit flood routing scheme for the James River. The Maury River basin was chosen for testing the model. Because ...

Grass clippings may be recycled onto nearby areas of turf as an alternative to disposal of clippings in landfills. In May, 1991, two field studies were initiated to evaluate grass clippings as a nitrogen (N) source for ...

Free jets are naturally unstable. As a result the jet which is initially laminar becomes turbulent. During this transition process, large-scale structures are formed and fluid is "induced" to join the jet from the surroundings. ...

The objective of this study was to use MAP technology to produce safe, shelf-stable, high quality, hard grated cheeses not requiring preservatives or refrigeration during distribution and sale. Initially, a challenge ...
