2006 Safety Belt Usage Survey In Kentucky, Kenneth R. Agent, Eric R. Green
2006 Safety Belt Usage Survey In Kentucky, Kenneth R. Agent, Eric R. Green
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
The objective of this study was to establish 2006 safety belt and child safety seat usage rates in Kentucky. The 2006 survey continues to document the results after enactment of the original “secondary enforcement” statewide mandatory safety belt law in 1994 and the change to “primary enforcement” which was enacted in 2006. Data were collected at 200 randomly selected sites spread across Kentucky. Data from the individual sites were combined into a statewide percentage considering roadway functional classification, geographic region, and vehicle miles traveled. The data show that the usage rate in 2006 (67.2 percent) was slightly higher than that …
Order And Disorder, Entropy In Math, Science, Nature And The Arts, Sol Neeman Ph.D., Arie Maharshak
Order And Disorder, Entropy In Math, Science, Nature And The Arts, Sol Neeman Ph.D., Arie Maharshak
Engineering Studies Faculty Publications and Creative Works
Often, science and engineering students have difficult time in viewing certain concepts in their holistic form. An example for such a concept is the concept of Entropy. Although it originated from the field of thermodynamics, the relation between order and disorder is a profound one and manifests itself in various fields, sometimes unrelated, such as math and science, nature and the arts. In the discipline of physics, the amount of disorder in a system has been quantified by the concept of Entropy. In the area of information theory it provides a quantitative measure of the amount of compression that may …
Evaluation Of Kentucky’S “Buckle Up Kentucky: It’S The Law And It’S Enforced” 2006 Campaign, Kenneth R. Agent, Eric R. Green, Ronald E. Langley
Evaluation Of Kentucky’S “Buckle Up Kentucky: It’S The Law And It’S Enforced” 2006 Campaign, Kenneth R. Agent, Eric R. Green, Ronald E. Langley
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
The objective of this report was to document the results of the “Buckle Up Kentucky: It’s the Law & It’s Enforced” 2006 campaign in Kentucky. The campaign involved a combination of earned media, paid media, and enforcement. The earned media started about five weeks prior to Memorial Day 2006 and continued through the enforcement periods. Two separate paid media campaigns and enforcement periods were conducted. One dealt specifically with pickups while the other was a general campaign for all drivers. The pickup media campaign started four weeks prior to Memorial Day and lasted two weeks followed by a one-week enforcement …
Transient Dynamics And Structure Of Optimal Excitations In Thermocapillary Spreading: Precursor Film Model, Jm Davis, De Kataoka, Sm Troian
Transient Dynamics And Structure Of Optimal Excitations In Thermocapillary Spreading: Precursor Film Model, Jm Davis, De Kataoka, Sm Troian
Jeffrey M. Davis
Linearized modal stability theory has shown that the thermocapillary spreading of a liquid film on a homogeneous, completely wetting surface can produce a rivulet instability at the advancing front due to formation of a capillary ridge. Mechanisms that drain fluid from the ridge can stabilize the flow against rivulet formation. Numerical predictions from this analysis for the film speed, shape, and most unstable wavelength agree remarkably well with experimental measurements even though the linearized disturbance operator is non-normal, which allows transient growth of perturbations. Our previous studies using a more generalized nonmodal stability analysis for contact lines models describing partially …
Theoretical Analysis Of The Effect Of Insoluble Surfactant On The Dip Coating Of Chemically Micropatterned Surfaces, N Tiwari, Jm Davis
Theoretical Analysis Of The Effect Of Insoluble Surfactant On The Dip Coating Of Chemically Micropatterned Surfaces, N Tiwari, Jm Davis
Jeffrey M. Davis
Microfluidic flow on chemically heterogeneous surfaces is a useful technique with applications ranging from selective material deposition to the self-assembly of nanostructures. The recent theoretical analysis by Davis [Phys. Fluids 17, 038101 (2005)] of the dip coating of a pure fluid onto vertical, wetting stripes surrounded by nonwetting regions quantified the experimentally observed deviations from the classical Landau-Levich result due to lateral confinement of the fluid by chemical surface patterning. In this present work, the analysis of dip coating of these heterogeneous surfaces is extended to a liquid containing an insoluble surfactant. Using matched asymptotic expansions based on lubrication theory …
