Influence Of Blood Flow And Vasoactive Drugs Upon Tissue Temperature Distributions In Local Hyperthermia Therapy, Charles F. Babbs Dec 1994

Influence Of Blood Flow And Vasoactive Drugs Upon Tissue Temperature Distributions In Local Hyperthermia Therapy, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Effective local hyperthermia for cancer requires selective elevation of intratumoral temperature without overheating of surrounding normal tissues. Temperature elevation depends upon the balance between absorbed power density, which heats the treated tissue, and blood perfusion, which cools it. Selectivity can be achieved by manipulations of vascular physiology to increase blood cooling of normal tissues or to decrease blood cooling of tumor tissue. Creation of a favorable normal-to-tumor blood flow ratio is possible because the small blood vessels supplying most tumors are structurally and functionally different from the microvasculature of normal tissues. Normal arterioles dilate in heated tissues to raise local …

An Overview Of Flexible Ac Transmission Systems, P. Asare, T. Diez, A. Galli, E. O'Neill-Carillo, J. Robertson, R. Zhao Dec 1994

An Overview Of Flexible Ac Transmission Systems, P. Asare, T. Diez, A. Galli, E. O'Neill-Carillo, J. Robertson, R. Zhao

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

FACTS or "flexible AC transmission systems" is a term that has been suggested for the use of solid state devices to control bulk power flow in transmission systems. The Electric Power Research Institute supported this idea, and many researchers have invested efforts on the value and potential of FACTS. At this time, it appears that the main value of FACTS lies in improving transmission capability; increasing the flexibility of power flow control (e.g., for wheeling or for economic dispatch); for controlling voltage (and var flow); and possibly additional advantages in lower voltage systems (e.g., distribution systems). This report is an …


Development Of A Highway Safety Management System For Indiana: Phase 1, Omar Farooq, Kumares C. Sinha, John Nagle, Dwayne Stanley James, Yi Jiang Dec 1994

Development Of A Highway Safety Management System For Indiana: Phase 1, Omar Farooq, Kumares C. Sinha, John Nagle, Dwayne Stanley James, Yi Jiang

JTRP Technical Reports

This report presents the work plan for the development of a highway safety management system for Indiana. It identifies major activities and responsibilities for the development and implementation of a formal, statewide, interactive safety decision-making process. The safety management system of Indiana is perceived as a continuous process of considering all opportunities to improve highway safety in all phases of highway planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation. The primary emphasis is on coordination of activities at various levels and on the development of a common information data base that can be used for selecting and implementing effective highway safety strategies …


A Prototype Computational Phantom To Create Digital Images For Research And Training In Diagnostic Radiology, Charles F. Babbs Nov 1994

A Prototype Computational Phantom To Create Digital Images For Research And Training In Diagnostic Radiology, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Research in the processing, compression, transmission, and interpretation of digital radiographic images require the testing and evaluation of a wide variety of images, varying both in format and in spatial resolution. If receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis or a related method is used to evaluate the performance of observers using novel vs. conventional displays, large numbers of test images containing known abnormalities are required. This report describes a convenient, inexpensive, and reproducible source of test images, having any desired resolution and containing precisely defined abnormalities of unlimited subtlety. The images are generated by computing x-ray transmission through mathematically defined, three …


Keeping Food Safe During Emergencies, Jo Carol Chezem, Wilella D. Burgess, April C. Mason Nov 1994

Keeping Food Safe During Emergencies, Jo Carol Chezem, Wilella D. Burgess, April C. Mason

Historical Documents of the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service Archive

Disasters can come in many forms, including tornadoes, fires, floods, and snowstorms. In any of these emergency situations, two problems commonly arise. The first is a lack of incoming supplies. The second is damage to gas and electrical power systems. This publication discusses how to handle foods before, during, and after an emergency to keep them safe and to avoid food poisoning.


Resonant Tunneling Through Quantum Dot Arrays, Guanlong Chen, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta, Guanhua Chen, William A. Goddard Iii Sep 1994

Resonant Tunneling Through Quantum Dot Arrays, Guanlong Chen, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta, Guanhua Chen, William A. Goddard Iii

Birck and NCN Publications

We apply the Hubbard Hamiltonian to describe quantum-dot arrays weakly coupled to two contacts. Exact diagonalization is used to calculate the eigenstates of the arrays containing up to six dots and the linear-response conductance is then calculated as a function of the Fermi energy. In the atomic limit the conductance peaks form two distinct groups separated by the intradot Coulomb repulsion, while in the band limit the peaks occur in pairs. The crossover is studied. A finite interdot repulsion is found to cause interesting rearrangements in the conductance spectrum.

Selected Topics On Demand Side Management, S. Alyasin, L. Chung, D Gotham, D. Hu, B. Kwon, J. Lee, A. Mok, A. Risal, R. Sasaki May 1994

Selected Topics On Demand Side Management, S. Alyasin, L. Chung, D Gotham, D. Hu, B. Kwon, J. Lee, A. Mok, A. Risal, R. Sasaki

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Each year in the graduate course on "Economic Dispatch and Control of Integrated Power Systems," the students prepare a term project which is assembled into a report. This year, the assigned topic relates to demand side management. This topic appears to be especially timely and, because it relates to the revenue derived by the electric utility. The term demand side management (DSM) refers to modification of power system demand by some means in order to obtain better load factor characteristics. The study of DSM has many unresolved issues - many stem from the fact that the electric utility industry is …

Institutional Issues Related To The Application Of Intelligent Vehicle Highway Systems Technologies To Commercial Vehicle Operations In Indiana, James G. Kavalaris, Kumares C. Sinha

JTRP Technical Reports

The study focused on potential barriers and opportunities to implementing Intelligent Vehicle-Highway System (IVHS) technologies to Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) in Indiana. Specific concepts included: (1) Automatic payment of tolls while driving at mainline speeds; (2) Pre-Clearance of vehicles and drivers past weigh stations; (3) "One-Stop-Shopping" for licenses, registrations, and permits; and (4) Transparent state borders. The study reviewed existing laws and policies applying to commercial vehicles operating in Indiana; prepared an inventory of the agencies responsible, their existing procedures, their physical facilities, and their human resources used to implement these regulations; itemized present impediments preventing the implementation of IVHS-CVO …
