Aluminum Secondary Electron Yield, Jr Dennison, Phillip Lundgreen

Browse all Datasets

Accurate modeling of spacecraft charging is essential to mitigate well-known and all-too-common deleterious and costly effects on spacecraft resulting from charging induced by interactions with the space plasma environment. This paper addresses how limited availability of electron emission and transport properties of spacecraft materials—in particular secondary electron yields—and the wide range measured for such properties pose a critical issue for modeling spacecraft charging. It describes a materials charging database being developed, which when used in concert with the strategies outlined herein for best practices for establishing optimized materials properties for spacecraft charging models and specific mission requirements and how these …

Influence Of Processing Parameters On Internal Porosity And Types Of Defects Formed In Ti6al4v Lattice Structure Fabricated By Selective Laser Melting, Hala Ahmed Salem, Hanadi G. Salem

Faculty Journal Articles

Ti6Al4V lattice structures were fabricated using selective laser melting with a wide range of processing parameters, namely laser power and scan speed, in order to study their effect on strut diameter and internal porosity morphology. Hence, identifying the optimum processing condition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM) were used to investigate the influence of these parameters on the strut size and internal porosity within the struts. The results show that at low laser power conditions the strut size decreased with increasing the scan speed. At intermediate laser power (200 W) the strut size decreased until it reached 2400 …

Congruence And Therapy: The Real Relationship Inventory (Rri), Jean F. Ndzana

Showcase of Graduate Student Scholarship and Creative Activities

I am interested in looking at the process of psychotherapy, and how specific under-represented groups (that are already reluctant to entering therapy), experience this process and the genuineness of the therapist. I am interested in exploring concerns that are parallel to the initial concern that brought the person for counseling, and how such processes, if unexplored, that can damage therapeutic alliance, and result in poor therapy outcome. The ultimate goal is not to get people in therapy, but to deliver successful therapy.

The years just before and during the Civil War marked the high point of Bryant's influence on public affairs, which had grown steadily since the Evening Post had upheld the democratic Jacksonian revolution of the 1830s. A founder of the Free Soil Party in 1848 and the Republican Party in 1856, Bryant was lauded in 1857 by Virginia anti-slavery leader John Curtis Underwood, who wrote to Eli Thayer, "What a glory it would be to our country if it could elect this man to the Presidency-the country not he would be honored & elevated by such an event."
