An Evaluation of errors in US energy forecasts: 1982–2003
(Elsevier, 2006-12)
Planners, policy-makers, and the private sector rely on energy forecasts to help make policy and investment decisions. In the US,
the federal Department of Energy (through the Energy Information Administration and its ...
Numerical study of an evaporating meniscus on a moving heated surface
(Journal of Heat Transfer, 2006-12)
The present study is performed to numerically analyze an evaporating meniscus bounded
between the advancing and receding interfaces on a moving heated surface. The numerical
scheme developed for analyzing interface motion ...
Empirical models for Dark Matter Halos. I. Nonparametric Construction of Density Profiles and comparison with Parametric Models
(American Astronomical Society - The Astronomical Journal, 2006-12)
We use techniques from nonparametric function estimation theory to extract the density pro-
files, and their derivatives, from a set of N-body dark matter halos. We consider halos generated
from ΛCDM simulations of ...
A Probabilistic approach to optimal orchard management
(Elsevier, 2006-11-13)
The formal study of orchard management in which an orchard is viewed as a jointly
determined ecological-economic system is still in its infancy. Therefore, in this paper, we
propose a new way of looking at the problem ...
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Monitor Telescope Pipeline
(Wiley InterScience: Astronomische Nachrichten, 2006-11)
The photometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a multi-step process which involves data from
three different telescopes: the 1.0-m telescope at the US Naval Observatory (USNO), Flagstaff Station, ...
Do deaf individuals see better
(Elsevier, 2006-11)
The possibility that, following early auditory deprivation, the remaining senses such as vision are enhanced has been met with much excitement. However, deaf individuals exhibit both better and worse visual skills than ...
Organizing for radical innovation: an exploratory study of the structural aspects of RI management systems in large established firms
(Blackwell Publishing, Ltd. The definitive version is available at http://www.blackwell-synergy.com, 2006-11)
To escape the intense competition of today's global economy, large established organizations seek growth options beyond conventional new product development that leads to incremental changes in current product lines. Radical ...
A Study of detonation evolution and structure for a model of compressible two-phase reactive flow
(Taylor and Francis, Ltd, 2006-10-25)
A two-phase model of heterogeneous explosives, due to Baer and Nunziato, is examined computation-
ally by a new numerical approach that is a modification of the standard Godunov scheme. The approach
generates well-resolved ...
Electro-optical transfer function preferences for LCD TVs: The effect of display brightness and surround illumination on preferred gamma
(Society for Information Display, 2006-09)
Recent commercial liquid-crystal-display (LCD) televisions are larger and brighter than traditional televisions, thus impacting the viewing conditions in which they are viewed. These changes in viewing conditions may require ...
Isomeric and concentration effects of C4-cosurfactants on four-component microemulsions investigated by neutron spin-echo and small-angle scattering
(Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing Limited, 2006-08-24)
Neutron spin-echo spectroscopy and small-angle scattering measurements were performed to determine how the isomeric structure and concentration of C4-cosurfactants (i.e. butyl alcohols) influence structure and dynamics in ...
