Analysis Of Natural Convection In A Low Gravity Environment, Ethan Mattor, William W. Durgin, Peter Blonznalis, Richard Schoenberg Jan 1992

Analysis Of Natural Convection In A Low Gravity Environment, Ethan Mattor, William W. Durgin, Peter Blonznalis, Richard Schoenberg

Office of the Provost Scholarship

Natural convection inside a spherical container was studied experimentally with two apparatuses at low buoyancy levels. The data generated by these experiments, plotted nondimensionally as the Nusselt versus Rayleigh numbers, gives correlations for Rayleigh numbers between 103 and 108, a range which was previously untested. These results show that natural convection has significant effects at a Rayleigh number of 10>sup>3 and higher, although the behavior of the Nusselt number as the conduction limit is approached is still unknown for a spherical geometry.


Computational Investigation Of Slot Blowing For Fuselage Forebody Flow Control, Scott M. Murman, Yehia M. Rizk, Russell M. Cummings, Lewis B. Schiff Jan 1992

Computational Investigation Of Slot Blowing For Fuselage Forebody Flow Control, Scott M. Murman, Yehia M. Rizk, Russell M. Cummings, Lewis B. Schiff

Aerospace Engineering

This paper presents a computational investigation of a tangential slot blowing concept for generating lateral control forces on an aircraft fuselage forebody. The effects of varying both the jet width and jet exit velocity for a fixed location slot are analyzed. This work is aimed at aiding researchers designing future experimental and computational models of tangential slot blowing. The primary influence on the resulting side force of the forebody is seen to be the jet mass flow rate. This influence is insensitive to different combination of slot widths and jet velocities over the range of variables considered. Both an actuator …


Strategies For Effective Risk Communication Under Sara Title Iii: Perspectives From Research And Practice, Richard C. Rich, W. David Conn, William L. Owens Jan 1992

Strategies For Effective Risk Communication Under Sara Title Iii: Perspectives From Research And Practice, Richard C. Rich, W. David Conn, William L. Owens

City and Regional Planning

Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 requires that planning and emergency response agencies be able to communicate with the public in nonemergency situations in order to help citizens understand the risks they face from hazardous materials and to secure citizen participation in designing responses to chemical emergencies. Both research and reports from the field indicate that, with notable exceptions, most Local Emergency Planning Committees created for this purpose are making little or no effort at proactive communication. As a result, citizens are not being educated effectively about the hazards they face and are not acting …

Integrating Communication Skills And Planning Techniques, Hemalata C. Dandekar, Gerald R. Clark Jan 1992

Integrating Communication Skills And Planning Techniques, Hemalata C. Dandekar, Gerald R. Clark

City and Regional Planning

Practitioners have long stressed the need to teach professional commumcations skills to planning students. This paper describes ten years of experience in teaching a course in which communications skills and techniques of gathering and analyzing information are taught concurrently while investigating a problem of importance in the community. The course involves an ongoing collaboration, a "marriage of convenience," between an academic and a planner, casting city/county planning staff as clients for students This has proven useful for pedagogy and has had some positive impact on the community.


Broad-Crested Weir Application On 15,000-Acre Farm, Stuart W. Styles Jan 1992

Broad-Crested Weir Application On 15,000-Acre Farm, Stuart W. Styles

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Growers in California have been subjected to increasing pressure to account for water used on the farm due to limited water supplies and increasing energy costs. Water measurement capability provides for equitable distribution of assigned costs and enables effective water management to be accomplished. Broad-crested weirs are proven water measurement devices, especially when applied to on-farm applications. The broad-crested weirs and published data were developed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Phoenix, Arizona. This paper is a discussion of an application of these weirs.


Pleistocene Terrestrial Vertebrates From Near Point San Luis, And Other Localities In San Luis Obispo County, California, George T. Jefferson, Harry L. Fierstine, John R. Wesling, Teh-Lung Ku Jan 1992

Pleistocene Terrestrial Vertebrates From Near Point San Luis, And Other Localities In San Luis Obispo County, California, George T. Jefferson, Harry L. Fierstine, John R. Wesling, Teh-Lung Ku

Biological Sciences

Terrestrial vertebrate remains were recovered from sediments that lie on remnants of the lowest marine wave-cut platform between Point Buchon and Point San Luis. Uranium series ages of these samples, which range from 83 to about 49 ka suggest a correlation to late Pleistocene climatic and eustatic events associated with marine oxygen isotope substage 5a, and establish a maximum age of ≈80 ka for the occurrence of terrestrial mammal fossils. The Point San Luis area assemblage appears typical of the late Pleistocene regional vertebrate paleofauna fauna from west-central California. Five mammalian taxa are added to the Pleistocene record from San …

New Combinations In Gnaphalium (Asteraceae: Inuleae), G. Ledyard Stebbins, David J. Keil Jan 1992

New Combinations In Gnaphalium (Asteraceae: Inuleae), G. Ledyard Stebbins, David J. Keil

Biological Sciences

Because of extensive morphological intermediacy, plants formerly distinguished at the species level as Gnaphalium beneolens, G. microcephalum, G. thermale, and G. wrightii are treated as intergrading races of the widespread G. canescens. The new combinations, G. canescens subsp. beneolens, G. canescens subsp. microcephalum and G. canescens subsp. thermale are made.


On Capacity Modeling For Production Planning With Alternative Machine Types, Robert C. Leachman, Tali F. Carmon Jan 1992

On Capacity Modeling For Production Planning With Alternative Machine Types, Robert C. Leachman, Tali F. Carmon

Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering

Analyzing the capacity of production facilities in which manufacturing operations may be performed by alternative machine types presents a seemingly complicated task. In typical enterprise-level production planning models, capacity limitations of alternative machine types are approximated in terms of some single artificial capacitated resource. In this paper we propose procedures for generating compact models that accurately characterize capacity limitations of alternative machine types. Assuming that processing times among alternative machine types are identical or proportional across operations they can perform, capacity limitations of the alternative machine types can be precisely expressed using a formulation that is typically not much larger …


Empirical Models Of Debt-Rescheduling With Sovereign Immunity, Robert B. Avery, Eric O'N. Fisher Jan 1992

Empirical Models Of Debt-Rescheduling With Sovereign Immunity, Robert B. Avery, Eric O'N. Fisher

Economics

The purpose of this chapter is to review the literature on empirical models of debt-rescheduling in international financial markets. The discussion focuses primarily on the statistical techniques that have been developed. These fall into two areas: discriminant-analysis and probabilistic-choice models. We also present other methods that might prove useful in future empirical research in this area. In particular, we discuss debt-rescheduling from the point of view of an explicitly dynamic economic analysis. This chapter is divided into three sections. In the first section, we review the applied literature on international debt-rescheduling. We focus primarily on empirical studies and give only …

Materials Engineering

This paper discusses and shows applications of optical emission spectroscopy techniques and methods to monitor plasma emissions during semiconductor processing. A brief discussion of the instrumentation that was used and the software to control the instrumentation is presented. Optical emission spectroscopy techniques discussed include chemical species identification in plasma etching, process fingerprinting, contamination detection, endpoint analysis/control, and sputter/deposition plasma monitoring.
