Traffic Signing For Local Areas, Herpicc

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

One of the most important responsibilities of local street and highway departments is to provide the driving public with adequate, appropriate signs to permit safe travel over unfamiliar roads. Unfortunately, this responsibility is frequently neglected or, at best, under-emphasized. The most common excuse used to justify this neglect is inadequate funding, which is undoubtedly true. What is equally true, however, is that resurfacing roads and streets is more politically popular than re-signing them, even though resurfacing leads to increased speeds, which in turn can lead to increased accident experience on improperly or inadequately signed facilities.

Fish1d 2.1 User’S Manual, M. A. Stettler, P. E. Dodd, M. S. Lundstrom

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

FISH1D is a computer program that solves the one-dimensional Poisson equation for electrostatic Fields In Semiconductor Heterostructures. The program will print or plot the electrostatic potential, electric field, electron and hole densities, dopant density, ionized dopant density, and other quantities of interest versus position at an applied bias voltage (assuming zero current). A capacitance or sheet carrier concentration versus voltage analysis may also be performed. While FISH1D was originally written for the ternary AlxGa1_xAs, it has been modified to simulate CdxHg1_xTe, ZnSe, GexSi1_x, and Si as well, and the program can be readily modified to analyze other semiconductors through the …

Disc: A Method For Dynamic Intelligent Scheduling And Control Of Reconfigurable Parallel Architectures, F. J. Weil, L. H. Jamieson, E. J. Delp

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This work studies the use of intelligence-guided control of reconfigurable parallel processing systems. A reconfigurable architecture is one that can be partitioned into several independent virtual parallel machines operating in either SIMD or MIMD mode. Reconfigurable systems, while allowing great flexibility, present many scheduling and control problems. Scheduling tasks on such a system is an exponential time problem. Therefore, in an effort to achieve reduced, task execution time without incurring unacceptable scheduling costs, an expert system is used to apply heuristics to approximate an optimal schedule. When the execution time of a task is not known a priori, conventional scheduling …

Quantitative Effects Of Iron Chelators On Hydroxyl Radical Production By The Superoxide-Driven Fenton Raction, Jean Blair Smith, Joanne C. Cusumano, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Iron bound to certain chelators is known to promote the conversion of superoxide radicals (O2) to hydroxyl radicals (HO') by the superoxide-driven Fenton reaction. The production of HO' by various iron chelates was studied using the reaction of dimethyl sulfoxide and HO' to produce methane sulphinic acid. Methane sulphinic acid was quantified by use of a simple colorimetric assay and used to determine the amounts of HO' produced. Superoxide was generated from 200 M hypoxanthine and 0.05 U/ml xanthine oxidase in the presence of 0-100 M iron and 100 M of each chelator. The results of this preliminary investigation illustrate …

Effect Of Oxygen Concentration On The Formation Of Malondialdehyde-Like Material In A Model Of Tissue Ischemia And Reoxygenation, Steven C. Salaris, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

This study was conducted to explore the functional relationship between oxygen concentration during tissue reoxygenation after ischemia and the extent of postischemic lipid peroxidation, an indicator of reoxygenation injury. Excised rat liver or kidney tissue was rendered ischemic for 1 h at 37°C, minced into 1 mm3 fragments, and then reoxygenated for 1 h in flasks of buffered salt solution containing various amounts of oxygen. Production of malondialdehyde-like material (MDA) was measured to indicate lipid peroxidation. MDA production was minimal at oxygen tensions less than 10 mmHg, increased sharply from 10 to 50 mmHg, and plateaued at approximately 100 mmHg. …

Lethal Hydroxyl Radical Production In Paraquat-Treated Plants, Charles F. Babbs, Jo Ann Pham, Ronald C. Coolbaugh

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Bipyridinium herbicides, including paraquat and diquat, are believed to act by generating highly reactive, oxygen-centered free radicals within chloroplasts when treated plants are exposed to sunlight. This hypothesis has not yet been confirmed by direct chemical measurements of specific free radicals. We studied paraquat-treated plants using a new method able to detect and quantify formation of highly reactive and deleterious hydroxyl radicals (HO*), in which dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is used as a molecular probe. DMSO is oxidized by HO* to form the stable, nonradical compound, methane sulfinic acid, which can be easily extracted from plant tissue and measured spectrophotometrically. Initial …
