Nondestructive Evaluation Of Aircraft Composites Using Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy, Christopher D. Stoik

Theses and Dissertations

Terahertz (THz) time domain spectroscopy (TDS) was assessed as a nondestructive evaluation technique for aircraft composites. Material properties of glass fiber composite were measured using both transmission and reflection configuration. The interaction of THz with a glass fiber composite was then analyzed, including the effects of scattering, absorption, and the index of refraction, as well as effective medium approximations. THz TDS, in both transmission and reflection configuration, was used to study composite damage, including voids, delaminations, mechanical damage, and heat damage. Measurement of the material properties on samples with localized heat damage showed that burning did not change the refractive …

Appropriating The City: Space, Theory, And Bike Messengers, Jeffrey L. Kidder

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Over the last 30 years, social theorists have increasingly emphasized the importance of space. However, in empirical research, the dialectical relationship between social interaction and the physical environment is still a largely neglected issue. Using the theory of structuration, I provide a concrete example of why and how space matters in the cultural analysis of an urban social world. I argue that bike messengers—individuals who deliver time-sensitive materials in downtown cores of major cities—cannot be understood outside an analysis of space. Specifically, I connect the cultural significance of messenger practices to the emplacement of those practices inside the urban environment.

The Use Of Wastewater And Inorganic Fertilizers As Nutrients Source For Cultivation Of Diatom Nitzschia Palea, Hussain A. Al-Saadi, Thaer I. Kassim, Jennan S. Al-Hassany

Baghdad Science Journal

Two kinds of alternative media (domestic wastewater and inorganic fertilizers) were used for cultivation of diatom Nitzschiapalea (Kuetz.)W. Smith in control conditions (temperature 25°C and light intensity 260 µE/m²/sec). These media were mixed with modified Chu-10 medium. Highest growth rate (0.56 cell/h) and lowest doubling time (13 cell/h) recorded for 50% wastewater supported with Chu-10. Followed, by inorganic fertilizers media formed of 125mg/L N:P:K, 12.5mg/L supper phosphate P2O5, 100 mg/L magnesium sulphate and 10 mg/L sodium silicate, which gives 0.35 cell/h of growth rate, 20.75 h doubling time, 9.75 × 106 cell/ml of cells count and absorption of 0.86 nm. …

They can be differentiated and integrated easily.

Investigation Of Heterogeneity Of Fsw Inconel 718 Coupled With Welding Thermal Cycle, Dong Fang Huang

Theses and Dissertations

In order to develop a better understanding of the property, microstructure evolution and thermal history of FSW Inconel 718's, the strain, strain rate and thermal cycles need to be determined. In order to estimate the strain field of a deformed body, a displacement function needs to be determined. A 3D deformation model was developed to determine the displacement coefficients. A rectangular box created in this model deforms following a linear displacement function. Three orthogonal planes cut this deformed box, which leads to three deformed planes. The shape parameters (L, H, θ¹ and θ²) on the three orthogonal planes can be …

Developing Of Bacterial Mutagenic Assay System For Detection Of Environmental And Food Mutagens V – Using Anticancer Drug Cyclophosphamide, Zahra M. Al-Khafaji, Elham A. Kalaf, Gaith L Al-Azawi

Baghdad Science Journal

G-system composed of three isolates G3 ( Bacillus),G12 ( Arthrobacter )and G27 ( Brevibacterium) was used to detect the mutagenicity of the anticancer drug, cyclophosphamide (CP) under conditions similar to that used for standard mutagen, Nitrosoguanidine (NTG). The CP effected the survival fraction of isolates after treatment for 15 mins using gradual increasing concentrations, but at less extent comparing to NTG. The mutagenic effect of CP was at higher level than that of NTG when using streptomycin as a genetic marker, but the situation was reversed when using rifampicin resistant as a report marker. The latter effect appeared upon recording …

Three Dimensional Mhd Simulationof Comet Hale-Bopp Tail, Salman Zaidan Khalaf, Ahmed Abdul-Razzaq Selman

Baghdad Science Journal

The interaction between comet Hale-Bopp tail with the solar wind is investigated in the present paper using magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulation, which accounts for the presence of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The simulation is based on three-dimensional Lax-Wendroff explicit scheme, providing second-order accuracy in space and time. The ions produced from the nucleus of the comet will add considerable effects on the microstructure of the solar wind, thus severely altering its physical properties. The present simulation focuses on careful analysis of these properties by means of simulating the behavior of the comet Hale-Bopp’s tail at 1 AU from the …

The Effect Of Doping Ratio Of Cu On The Structural Properties Of Cdse Films, E.M.N. Al-Fawad

Baghdad Science Journal

Films of CdSe have been prepared by evaporation technique with thickness 1μm. Doping with Cu was achieved using annealing under argon atmosphere. The Structure properties of these films are investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. Theeffect of Cu doping on the orientation , relative intensity, grain size and the lattice constant has been studied. The pure CdSe films have been found consist of amorphousstructure with very small peak at (002)plane. The films were polycrystalline for doped CdSe with (1&2wt%)Cu contents and with lattice constant (a=3.741,c=7.096)A°, and it has better crystallinty as theCu contents increased to (3&5wt%) Cu. The reflections from [(002), …

Modeling Of Mixing Time For Bioreactors With Self-Inducing Impellers, Alaa K. M.

Baghdad Science Journal

the mixing time is one of the most useful criterions for characterization of the broths mixing intensity and for scaling up of biosynthesis processes. this parameter value depends mainly on the presence of biomass in the broths, mixing system characteristics and operating conditions. For quantifying the influence of these factors on mixing efficiency, this study was carried out for simulated fermentation aerated broths consisted of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMCNa) taking into account the broth's viscosity, rotation speed (rpm) and the stirrer geometry. The experimental results were used in obtaining a correlation to calculate the mixing time for Re <5000, domain of flow regime for which only few data are available from literature. t_m=1.6x10^3xμ^0.43_a/N^1.13X L^0.53 This model offer a good concordance with the experimental results, the average deviation being of 6.6% for CMCNa solutions and can be used for fermentation scaling up.

Glypican-1 Modulates The Angiogenic And Metastatic Potential Of Human And Mouse Cancer Cells, Takuma Aikawa, Chery A. Whipple, Martha E. Lopez, Jason Gunn, Alison Young, Arthur D. Lander, Murray Korc

Dartmouth Scholarship

Cells isolated from many types of human cancers express heparin-binding growth factors (HBGFs) that drive tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis. The heparan sulfate proteoglycan glypican-1 (GPC1) is a coreceptor for HBGFs. Here we show that both cancer cell–derived and host-derived GPC1 are crucial for efficient growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis of human and mouse cancer cells. Thus downregulation of GPC1 in the human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1, using antisense approaches, resulted in prolonged doubling times and decreased anchorage-independent growth in vitro as well as attenuated tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis when these cells were transplanted into athymic mice. Moreover, athymic …
