E4ST : modeling, simulation and benefit-cost analysis tools for power system planning and policy analysis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)This dissertation explains the detailed mathematic formulation of E4ST. It then presents a validation exercise by comparing the model’s predictions against actual outcome data from the North American Eastern Interconnection. -
Early stage crystallization of a flexible linear polymer
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05) -
Ebb and flow : hybrid narrative filmmaking and collaborative art practice
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Econometric techniques for freight demand modeling and management
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Econometric modeling can serve as a useful tool for transportation planning as it is able to estimate a variety of demand metrics which can be used to assess and support the implementation of demand management strategies. ... -
Ecotopian architecture : pursuit of a new typology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Research into the Hudson Valley region led to assembling a list of the closed military bases throughout the state of New York. Plattsburgh Air Force base, closed in 1995, was chosen as the site for a fictional and futuristic ... -
Edits based categorization of crowd sourced document corpora with application to Wikipedia
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)Currently, most hierarchies are constructed based on document contents, which can be computationally challenging and memory intensive. More importantly, not all contents can be acquired due to memory capacity or privacy ... -
Effect of acoustically-induced pressures on the permeability of a bullfrog urinary bladder
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-05) -
Effect of different colored background lighting on led glare perception
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-08) -
Effect of electron irradiation on wear resistance of filled PTFE composites
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Effect of endpin pads of lower string instruments on the amplitude of vibration of contact surfaces and the perception of musical performance
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Effect of heat and short-wavelength visible radiation on phosphor-embedded LED encapsulant
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)It was found that the epoxy with phosphor sample temperature is the key factor in determining the degradation. Epoxy samples with and without embedded phosphor when subjected to heat have a constant degradation rate. ... -
Effect of hydrophobic residues on amyloid formation under steady shear and at interfaces
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-08)A surprisingly large number of proteins of different shapes, sizes, and functions are capable of undergoing fibrillization transformations in which protein monomers become unstable and begin to combine in a crystalline ... -
Effect of large ground deformation on buried HDPE pipelines
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12) -
Effect of load frequency on trans-endplate transport of nutrients to the intervertebral disc
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)There exists a strong correlation between disc degeneration and low back pain. The augmentation of nutrient transport through non-invasive treatment protocols has clinical significance. Results of this study show that it ... -
Effect of patterned surfaces on thermal impedance reduction
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)COMSOL was used to simulate how these structures will enhance the heat transfer from the heat source and predict heat transfer enhancement. Proof of concept experiment was performed using patterned surfaces and ... -
Effect of porosity on the oxygen reduction reaction in PEM fuel cell cathode electrodes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Effect of power quality on energy consumption for typical loads
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)For years, terms like losses, power quality, power stability, etc. have dominated research in electrical power systems. The stated is owed majorly to the social and financial implications of ignoring these phenomena. Voltage ... -
Effect of processing parameters on the ductility of high-carbon steel wire
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)High-carbon steel (or patent) wire is an indispensable technology in many industries. Great effort has been expended to improve the strength of patent wire by strain hardening through cold drawing. The largest challenge ... -
Effect of soil compressibility on sand response to liquefaction and lateral spreading
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-12) -
Effect of some factors on the visual scaling of color differences
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1973)Four different types of visual scaling of color differences were compared: rank order, scaling in reference to a freely established standard in the same color, scaling in reference to a previously established unit of color ...
