A Study Of The Feasibility Of Developing Low-Chromium Stainless Steel., Ziad Abed Khalaf Jan 1981

A Study Of The Feasibility Of Developing Low-Chromium Stainless Steel., Ziad Abed Khalaf

All ETDs from UAB

Stainless steels represent approximately 2% of the total steel production in the United States. However, because of the key role they play in most of the major industries, they have a technological and economic importance far greater than their percentage of total production indicates.There are 38 standard grades of stainless steels and numerous proprietary variations. Presently, more than 170 different kinds of alloys are recognized as belonging to the family of stainless steels, and each year new alloys and modifications of existing alloys appear. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the annual total production of stainless steels …

Models For Calculating Residual Voltage Of Induction Motors., Hanh Trong Dao Jan 1981

Models For Calculating Residual Voltage Of Induction Motors., Hanh Trong Dao

All ETDs from UAB

Induction motors are commonly used in driving auxiliary equipment in coal-fired power plants. An external source of power must be connected to the auxiliary system for starting a turbine-generator. After the generator speed is increased to synchronous speed and synchronized with the power system, the power to the generator auxiliary is then supplied from the generator itself. Therefore, circuit switching must be used to transfer the auxiliary power supply from one source to another source. Such switching may possibly cause inrush currents to the motors to be large enough to cause motor damage. The reason for the high inrush currents …

Modeling The Muscle Relaxation Response To Succinylcholine For The Purpose Of Controller Design., Ralph Gilbert Ritchie Jan 1981

Modeling The Muscle Relaxation Response To Succinylcholine For The Purpose Of Controller Design., Ralph Gilbert Ritchie

All ETDs from UAB

Many surgical procedures require muscle relaxation as part of the anesthesia. The reduction in muscle tone resulting from the administration of muscle relaxants renders the surgical field more accessible. Presently, muscle relaxation is commonly achieved and maintained by repeated bolus injections, by continuous infusion of muscle relaxants at a constant rate, or by a combination of these. The dosage of the drug is usually determined by relatively simple clinical guidelines, such as patient weight, height, and girth. The level of relaxation is often monitored by observing the evoked response (twitch) to periodic peripheral nerve stimulation (Katz & Katz, 1975).Present procedures …

A Fundamental Frequency Data Acquisition System (Ffdas)., Donald J. Stilwell Jan 1981

A Fundamental Frequency Data Acquisition System (Ffdas)., Donald J. Stilwell

All ETDs from UAB

The human voice contains many frequencies, but the human listener perceives the lowest frequency in the harmonic series, the fundamental frequency (FO), as the pitch of the speaker’s voice at any given instant in time. Fundamental frequency in human speech conveys linguistic (semantic, syntactical, and lexical) information, as well as paralinguistic (sex, age, and emotional state) content. Variations in FO identify major clause and phrase boundaries, and are used to indicate syllable stress. Stressed syllables, for example, are usually of higher frequency than unstressed syllables and of greater duration. Because speakers cannot adjust loudness and pitch period completely independently, as …

Heat Transfer From A Liquid To Gas Bubbles During Formation And Translation Of The Bubbles Through The Liquid., Charles P. Rogers Jan 1980

Heat Transfer From A Liquid To Gas Bubbles During Formation And Translation Of The Bubbles Through The Liquid., Charles P. Rogers

All ETDs from UAB

A preliminary investigation revealed that a significant amount of heat transfer does occur when gas bubbles form and translate through a relatively warm liquid. Therefore, a more detailed experiment was conducted to investigate this heat-transfer phenomenon.A heat exchanger was constructed which used warm tap water as the liquid and cool compressed air to form the bubbles. The compressed air was injected through small orifices at rates varying from 100 to 600 cubic feet per hour. The temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing liquid and gas varied from zero to 10° Fahrenheit for the water and from zero to 60° …

Chester Holcombe: The Christian Gentleman In Victorian America., Paige Wainwright Mcwilliams

All ETDs from UAB

Some historians have focused recently on the transformation of America from rural agrarian society to modern, urban industrial state. Robert Wiebe called the social response to this transition a search for order. The difficulty in applying this concept to historical interpretation is that the connection between the flow of history and the influence of private human motivations can be easily reduced to simplistic stimulus-response reactions.
