Hurricane Storm Surge Simulations Comparing Three-Dimensional With Two-Dimensional Formulations Based On An Ivan-Like Storm Over The Tampa Bay, Florida Region, Robert H. Weisberg, Lianyuan Zheng Dec 2008

Hurricane Storm Surge Simulations Comparing Three-Dimensional With Two-Dimensional Formulations Based On An Ivan-Like Storm Over The Tampa Bay, Florida Region, Robert H. Weisberg, Lianyuan Zheng

Marine Science Faculty Publications

We provide a dynamics‐based comparison on the results from three‐dimensional and two‐dimensional simulations of hurricane storm surge. We begin with the question, What may have occurred in the Tampa Bay, Florida vicinity had Hurricane Ivan made landfall there instead of at the border between Alabama and Florida? This question is explored using a three‐dimensional, primitive equation, finite volume coastal ocean model. The results show that storm surges are potentially disastrous for the Tampa Bay area, especially for landfalls located to the north of the bay mouth. The worst case among the simulations considered is for landfall at Tarpon Springs, such …


The Thermoelectric Properties Investigation Of X0.05Mo3Sb7-YTeY (X=Mn, Fe, Ni, Co; Y=1.5, 1.6, 1.7), Tim Holgate Dec 2008

The Thermoelectric Properties Investigation Of X0.05Mo3Sb7-YTeY (X=Mn, Fe, Ni, Co; Y=1.5, 1.6, 1.7), Tim Holgate

All Theses

With ever increasing energy costs, dwindling resources, and terms with the prefix 'green' filling headlines, the need for environmentally friendly energy sources has never been greater. Since the mid-20th century researchers have been pursuing greater efficiency in thermoelectric materials. Thermoelectric materials achieve energy conversion via the Seebeck effect (heat to electric power) and the Peltier effect (electricity to cooling power). Presented herein are the measured electrical and thermal transport properties and phenomenal analysis of the Ir3Ge7-type system: X0.05Mo3Sb7-yTey (X=Mn, Fe, Ni, Co; y=1.5, 1.6, 1.7) where 'X' are interstitially …

Mesenteric Panniculitis With Pedal Edema In A 33-Year-Old Pakistani Man: A Case Report And Literature Review., Abdul M Zafar, Muhamad A Rauf, Tabish Chawla, Gule Khanda Dec 2008

Mesenteric Panniculitis With Pedal Edema In A 33-Year-Old Pakistani Man: A Case Report And Literature Review., Abdul M Zafar, Muhamad A Rauf, Tabish Chawla, Gule Khanda

Department of Radiology

Introduction:Mesenteric panniculitis is a rare pathology of unknown etiology characterized by inflammation and fibrosis in the mesentery. Its protean clinical and radiological manifestations make it a diagnostic challenge. There is no established treatment available for its management. The clinical outcome is inconsistent, with the prognosis ranging from complete resolution without any treatment to rapid progression culminating in death. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old Pakistani man presented with vague abdominal pain, an ill-defined epigastric mass and bilateral pedal edema. A detailed review of his history and laboratory investigations did not point to any diagnosis. The Patient underwent an exploratory laparotomy based …


Warunki Jakości Usług Bankowych, Małgorzata Szumska Dec 2008

Warunki Jakości Usług Bankowych, Małgorzata Szumska

Studia i Materiały Wydział Zarządzania Uniwersytet Warszawski

Zarządzanie jakością w ostatnim czasie stało się ważnym zagadnieniem w procesie zarządzania przedsiębiorstwem, szczególnie w sektorze usług finansowych, jako znaczący czynnik przewagi konkurencyjnej. Śledzenie funkcjonowania systemu jakości pozwala na wychwycenie i zapobieganie błędom, co ma służyć poprawie jakości pracy w organizacji. Błędy powstające w procesie pracy wpływają na jakość usług, a tym samym na jakość obsługi klienta i w konsekwencji na wizerunek firmy, a także na wzrost kosztów związanych z dokonywaniem poprawek i wzrost ryzyka operacyjnego. W artykule zaprezentowano, jak ujmuje te tematy literatura. W rozdziale szóstym są przedstawione dwa rodzaje błędów popełnianych przez pracowników operacyjnych: błędy funkcjonalne oraz błędy. …


Doskonalenie Pracy Własnej Skutecznym Narzędziem Osiągnięcia Sukcesu Przez Menedżerów Przyszłości, Izabela Orzoł Dec 2008

Doskonalenie Pracy Własnej Skutecznym Narzędziem Osiągnięcia Sukcesu Przez Menedżerów Przyszłości, Izabela Orzoł

Studia i Materiały Wydział Zarządzania Uniwersytet Warszawski

Celem pracy jest określenie skuteczności sposobów postępowania menedżerów przyszłości oraz warunków ich sukcesów w nowoczesnym przedsiębiorstwie. W pracy dokonano głębokich studiów literaturowych oraz analizy danych uzyskanych z badań przeprowadzonych przez amerykańskie czasopismo Family Business Magazine w 2006 r., dotyczących największych firm rodzinnych na świecie. Na podstawie tych danych określono skuteczność sposobów postępowania menedżerów przyszłości oraz warunki ich sukcesu. Praca składa się z dwóch części: teoretycznej i empirycznej. W pierwszej części przed- stawiono pojęcie menedżera i jego funkcje, uwarunkowania sukcesu menedżera przyszłości, doskonalenie pracy własnej menedżerów przyszłości oraz sylwetkę i ich wyzwania. W części empirycznej przedstawiono skuteczność sposobów postępowania menedżerów na …

Effects Of Shielding Adenoviral Vectors With Polyethylene Glycol On Vector-Specific And Vaccine-Mediated Immune Responses, Eric A. Weaver, Michael A. Barry Dec 2008

Effects Of Shielding Adenoviral Vectors With Polyethylene Glycol On Vector-Specific And Vaccine-Mediated Immune Responses, Eric A. Weaver, Michael A. Barry

Nebraska Center for Virology: Faculty Publications

Many individuals have been previously exposed to human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5). This prior immunity has long been known to hinder its use for gene therapy and as a gene-based vaccine. Given these immunogenicity problems, we have tested whether polyethylene glycol (PEG) can blunt immune effects against Ad5 during systemic and mucosal vaccination. Ad5 vectors were covalently modified with 5-, 20-, and 35-kDa linear PEG polymers and evaluated for their ability to produce immune responses against transgene antigen products and the vector itself. We show that shielding Ad5 with different-sized PEGs generally reduces transduction and primary antibody responses by the …
