Subgrade Resilient Modulus For Pavement Design And Evaluation, Woojin Lee, Nihal C. Bohra, Adolph G. Altschaeffl, Thomas D. White

JTRP Technical Reports

The main goal of this study was to develop a set of testing procedure for resilient modulus and to provide a set of resilient modulus data on typical Indiana soils. Soils tested were five cohesive soils and one granular soil. Resilient modulus tests were performed in the laboratory on a fully automated repeated-load triaxial equipment according to AASHTO T 274-82.

A set of correlations was developed between the resilient modulus and the unconfined compression test results for normal and thawed subgrade conditions, based on the test results on the specimen sampled from existing subgrades. Freeze-thaw and post compaction water content …

Multiobjective Design Of Service Routes, J. R. Wright, Jin-Yuan Wang

JTRP Technical Reports

The purpose of this research has been the design of a computer-based decision support system for use in the design of service routes on the Indiana intrastate highway system. The following work has been completed for this purpose:

1) Acquisition of a 1:100,000 scale DLG data representation of the entire state transportation network.

2) Reclassification of those data with the aid of a computer-based interactive data filter and participation by DOT maintenance personnel from 6 districts.

3) Development of several route design algorithm components designed specifically for addressing the problem of routing snow and ice control vehicles for INDOT.

4) …

Guide To Revenue Calculations: Local Option Highway User Tax 1992, Jon D. Fricker

Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Publications

This guide is provided to explain the output generated by the computer programs, and to suggest ways in which the results can be adapted to specific LOHUT proposals before a County Council. HERPICC neither endorses nor opposes passage of a LOHUT. The revenue projections it provides are intended to be an aid to well-informed decision-making on the part of a county’s citizens and its County Council.

The Impact Of Adjustable Speed Drive Heat Pumps On Distribution Transformers, Kevin G. Karagory

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Electric utilities, by encouraging the use of high efficiency heat pumps, have increased the amount of power electronics in the residential sector. This report examines the impact that an adjustable speed drive heat pump has on the electric distribution transformer. Using a PSpice model of the components and ANSIDEEE Recommended Standard C57.1 10-1986, the transformer capability to supply a nonsinusoidal load current to the residence is established.

Oxidative Mechanisms In Arterial Distension Injury: Observations Relevant To Restenosis After Angioplasty, Charles F. Babbs, Yuan Zhong

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

Background: To explore the hypothesis that tissue iron and reactive oxygen species, including superoxide (O2), mediate acute inflammatory and late hyperplastic responses to vascular injury, we studied experimental overdistension of normal carotid and femoral arteries in dogs. Experimental design: Arterial segments isolated in situ were distended with Ringer solution at 2 atmospheres pressure. In initial experiments the arteries were excised immediately after distension and immersed in diaminobenzidine solutions containing Mn++ ions to initiate histochemical reactions for O2. In other experiments distended arterial segments were reperfused with arterial blood in the presence or absence of the iron chelator, deferoxamine, or the …

A Practical Approach To Ll(K); Llm(N), Terence J. Parr, Henry G. Dieb

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In terms of recognition strength, LL techniques are widely held to be inferior to LR parsers. The fact that any LR (k) grammar can be rewritten to be LR (I), whereas LL(k) is stronger than LL (I), appears to give LR techniques the additional benefit of not requiring k-token lookahead and its associated ovehead. In this paper, we suggest that LL(k) is actually superior to LR (1) when translation, rather than acceptance, is the goal. Further, a practical method of generating efficient LL(k) parsers is presented. This practical approach is based on the fact that most parsing decisions in a …

Coding Multiway Branches Using Customized Hash Functions, H. G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

In most modem languages, there is a construct that allows the programmer to directly represent a multiway branch based on the value of an expression. In Pascal, it is the case statement; in C:, it is the switch and in Fortran-90 the SELECT. However, it is quite common that the efficiency of these constructs is far worse than one might reasonably expeat. This paper discusses the construction and use of customized hash functions to consistently improve execution speedl and reduce memory usage for such consuucts. Performance results are given, including some that lead to the suggestion that adding a population …

A Study Of Numerical Integration Techniques For Use In The Companion Circult Method Of Transient Circuit Analysis, Charles A. Thompson

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Circuit transient analysis packages such as SPICE and EMTP are very widely used, but detailed information on the internal structure and error characteristics for these software packages is lacking. Both SPICE and EMTP rely on numerical integration to approximate the transient response of circuit elements. The numerical integration methods used in the packages are not necessarily the most accurate approximations to the actual response of a circuit. The study of these numerical integration methods and their error characteristics is the focus of this thesis. Comparisons are made between several methods in terms of accuracy and stability as well as algorithm …
