Single-phase heat transfer enhancement techniques in microchannel and minichannel flows
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)The single-phase heat transfer enhancement techniques are well established for conventional channels and compact heat exchangers. The major techniques include flow transition, breakup of boundary layer, entrance ... -
Single-phase liquid friction factors in microchannels
(American society of mechanical engineers (ASME), 2005-06)The validity of friction factor theory based upon conventional sized passages for microchannel flows is still an active area of research. Several researchers have reported significant deviation from predicted values, ... -
Single-phase liquid heat transfer in microchannels
(American society of mechanical engineers (ASME), 2005-06)The development of advanced microchannel heat exchangers and microfluidic devices is dependent upon the understanding of the fundamental heat transfer processes that occur in these systems. Several researchers have ... -
The six faces model: Technology management in the effective implementation of change
(World scientific, 2005)Organizational fitness is often achieved by making changes in business operations. These changes frequently involve the use of a new technology. The effective implementation of change is aided by examining the benefits ... -
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, ... -
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: search Algorithm and follow-up observations
(American Astronomical Society - The Astronomical Journal, 2008-01)The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey has identified a large number of new transient sources in a 300 deg2 region along the celestial equator during its first two seasons of a three-season campaign. Multi-band ... -
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: technical summary
(American Astronomical Society - The Astronomical Journal, 2008-01)The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) has embarked on a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) using repeated five-band (ugriz) ... -

Small-period electromagnet wigglers for free-electron lasers
(American Institute of Physics, 1985-09-15)A new configuration for wiggler magnets compatible with free-electron laser (FEL) deployment is described and demonstrated experimentally. The configuration is simple and inexpensive to fabricate and allows for continuous ... -
Social, ethical and legal issues of data mining
(2003)Specifically, the social, ethical, and legal implications of DM are examined through recent case law, current public opinion, and small industry-specific examples. there are many issues concerning this topic. Therefore, ... -
Solid-state array cameras
(Optical Society of America, 1972-05)Over the past few years there has been growing interest shown in the rapidly maturing technology of totally solid-state imaging. This paper presents a synopsis of developments made in this field at the Westinghouse ATL ... -
A soluble linear Schiff-base coordination polymer containing eight-coordinate zirconium (IV)
(The American Chemical Society: Macromolecules, 1985-07)The first soluble linear Schiff-base heavy-metal coordination polymer has been synthesized via the condensation of 1,2,4,5-tetraaminobenzene and tetrakis(salicylaldehydato)zirconium(IV) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide. The (N, ... -
Solvent effects on the kinetics of simple electrochemical reactions. Further examination of metal ethylenediamine and ammine redox couples.
(Elsevier: Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, 1985-09-10)The dependence of the kinetics of Co(en)33+/2+ exchange (en=ethylenediamine) at mercury electrodes upon the nature of the solvent is discussed further by examining the preexponential factors, Acorr, as well as double-layer ... -
Some flow-equivalent planar and non-planar graphs
(Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam, 2001-09-28)We find three non-planar graphs which are flow-equivalent to planar graphs. It is also shown that some non-planar graphs are not flow-equivalent to any planar graph. -
Spatial and temporal patterns of water flow generated by suction-feeding bluegill sunfish Lepomis macrochirus resolved by Particle Image Velocimetry
(The Company of Biologists, 2005-05-24)The suction-feeding fish generates a flow field external to its head in order to draw prey into the mouth. To date there are very few empirical measurements that characterize the fluid mechanics of suction feeding, p ... -
Spatial and temporal variation in calcium and aluminum in northern hardwood forest floors
(Springer: Water, Air and Soil Pollution, 2005-01)Acid rain results in losses of exchangeable base cations from soils, but the mechanism of base cation displacement from the forest floor is not clear, and has been hypothesized to involve mobilization of aluminum from the ... -
Spatial averaging in the beam of a piston transducer
(Elsevier Science, 2001-05)This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the spatially averaged free-field responses of phase-sensitive and phase-insensitive receivers centered in the beam of a harmonically excited piston transmitter. The responses ... -
Spatiotemporal organization of coupled nonlinear pendula through impurities
(American Physical Society, 1998-11)We study the effect of impurities introduced into a lattice and their ability to control the dynamical behavior of arrays of coupled nonlinear chaotic oscillators. In particular we show that under certain conditions a ... -
Specializations of the body form and food habits of snakes
(Oxford University Press: American Zoologist, 1983)Viperid snakes have stouter bodies, larger heads, and longer jaws than snakes in other families; there are no major differences between the two subfamilies of vipers in these features. A suite of morphological characters ...
