Evolution Of Turbine Blade Deposits In An Accelerated Deposition Facility: Roughness And Thermal Analysis, James Edward Wammack

Theses and Dissertations

During the operation of a gas turbine, ingested contaminants present in the air form deposits on the surfaces of the turbine blades. These deposits grow over time, resulting in an increasingly rough surface. This gradual increase in roughness results in several negative consequences, among which is an increase in the rate of heat transfer to the blade which shortens blade life. This thesis presents research in which deposits were evolved on three different turbine blade coupons and their evolution was studied. A trend in roughness change over time was discovered. Also, an attempt was made to find the effect of …

Method And Apparatus For Creating Circuit Redundancy In Programmable Logic Devices, Praveen K. Samudrala, Srinivas Katkoori, Jeremy Ramos

USF Patents

A method for reducing circuit sensitivity to single event upsets in programmable logic devices, involves identifying single event upset sensitive gates within a single event upset sensitive sub-circuit of a programmable logic device as determined by the input environment and introducing triple modular redundancy and voter circuits for each single event upset sensitive sub-circuit so identified.

Head-Mounted Display By Integration Of Phase-Conjugate Material, Jannick Rolland, Yonggang Ha, Ricardo Martins

UCF Patents

This invention has incorporated projective optics and phase conjugate material thus eliminating the requisite use of an external phase conjugate material to provide a see-through head mounted projective display. A key component of the invention is the use of optical imaging technology in combination with projective optics to make this revolutionary technology work. In previous head mounted projective displays the phase conjugate material had to be placed in the environment to display images, but in this invention one is not limited to the use of an external phase conjugate material but further extends its use to outdoor see-through augmented reality …

Pratiques Cliniques Des Physiothérapeutes Dans Le Traitement De Travailleurs Souffrant De Maux De Dos Aigus Et Subaigus, Régis Blais, Stéphane Poitras, Bonnie Swaine, Michel Rossignol

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les maux de dos représentent une part importante des lésions indemnisées par la Commission de la Santé et Sécurité du Travail du Québec (CSST). Les physiothérapeutes sont couramment engagés dans la prise en charge de ce problème, mais on ne peut évaluer l'efficacité de leur approche thérapeutique puisqu'on en connaît mal la constitution.

Ce projet visait principalement à 1) décrire prospectivement les interventions pratiquées par les physiothérapeutes auprès de travailleurs indemnisés par la CSST suite à un mal de dos aigu ou subaigu et 2) identifier les facteurs associés à ces choix d'interventions.

Une enquête prospective a été réalisée auprès …

Comparison Of The Use Of Single And Multiple Oxidants On The Generation Of Particulate Matter In Water Distribution Systems Derived From Groundwater Sources Containing Hydrogen Sulfide And Dissolved Organics, Rochelle J. Minnis

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Due to increasingly stringent regulations, concerns about disinfection byproduct formation, and the need for improved control of distribution system water quality, there has been a shift towards the use of alternative disinfectants and oxidants in the production of drinking water. Technologies that modify water chemistry, such as hydrogen peroxide, UV irradiation, chlorine and/or chloramines may result in the generation of mineral and organic precipitates. Turbidity provides an indirect measure of the presence of particles by evaluating the light scattering properties of water. Turbidity levels are currently not monitored or regulated in treated groundwater.

An important water quality parameter that influences …

Predicting Obesity From Four Eating Behaviors, Tovah Yanover

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Obesity is a growing problem in the United States. Research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of obesity is vital. One past study examined four eating behaviors in relation to obesity: eating beyond satiety, snacking, night eating, and feeling hungry within three hours of eating. Only eating beyond satiety was associated with obesity. The present study examined these same eating behaviors while correcting some of the flaws of the previous study. Using a cross-sectional design, university undergraduates reported on the frequency of the above-named eating behaviors. Current weight and height were collected. Multiple regression analyses determined that eating beyond satiety …

Model Evaluation Based On The Distribution Of Estimated Absolute Prediction Error, Lu Tian, Tianxi Cai, Els Goetghebeur, L. J. Wei

Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series

The construction of a reliable, practically useful prediction rule for future response is heavily dependent on the "adequacy" of the fitted regression model. In this article, we consider the absolute prediction error, the expected value of the absolute difference between the future and predicted responses, as the model evaluation criterion. This prediction error is easier to interpret than the average squared error and is equivalent to the mis-classification error for the binary outcome. We show that the distributions of the apparent error and its cross-validation counterparts are approximately normal even under a misspecified fitted model. When the prediction rule is …

An Automated Three-Dimensional Unstructured Mesh Generation Algorithm For Groundwater Modeling, James Edward Greer

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis describes a new method to create three-dimensional finite element meshes using the horizons to mesh algorithm. The algorithm uses available geologic data and user-defined inputs to guide the mesh generation process. This new approach allows for material layer pinch outs and many different layer refinement options to create well-formed elements that better represent hydrogeologic formations. Two case studies are presented that demonstrate the application of the algorithm's options and capabilities. A graphical interface for the algorithm was developed in the Groundwater Modeling System.
