Spray ignition experiments for biodiesel surrogates

Hotard, Carson (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)

This report documents the experimental and numerical work conducted in determining the combustion characteristics of C9 and C10 esters as surrogates for modern biodiesel fuels (BDFs). A novel instrumented constant volume ...

Spraying techniques for large scale manufacturing of PEM-FC electrodes

Hoffman, Casey J. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)

Stability analysis and synchronization of cross-coupled oscillator circuits

Ge, Xiaoqing (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-05)

Stability analysis of closed-loop super-critical pressure systems

Smith, Walter Castro (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)

The current study investigates the mechanisms governing flow induced stability of super-critical pressure fluid systems. Super-critical pressure fluid systems have been investigated as a mechanism for heat extraction from ...

Stability of plane poiseuille flow and plane couette flow over a layer of elastic medium

Cheng, Thomas L. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1977-12)

The stability of plane Poiseuille flow of an incompressible viscous fluid between a rigid plate and a layer of incompressible isotropic elastic solid is studied. Two distinct modes of instability are found. The interfacial ...

Stabilizing technologies, configuring an armed social self : firearms in postauthoritarian, postwar Guatemalan democracy

Diaz-Torres, Camar (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2007-08)

Stable organometallic derivatives of carbon dioxide and reactions of indenyl ruthenium alkyls with triphenylphosphine and carbon monoxide

Dery, Mary E. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1989-05)

Stage acoustics for musicians : a multidimensional approach using 3D ambisonic technology

Guthrie, Anne (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-05)

In this research, a method was outlined and tested for the use of 3D Ambisonic technology to inform stage acoustics research and design. Stage acoustics for musicians as a field has yet to benefit from recent advancements ...

Stained slides scanning based on LED illumination

Zhang, Jiaxiang (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2010-05)

Star field simulator design

Reynolds, Asiah (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)

As star trackers are evolving to become the primary on-board calculating devices for the attitude determination of spacecraft, the need for developing and testing these technologies in laboratories is becoming increasingly ...

States and stem cells : science, policy and ethics in state stem cell initiatives

Mitchell, Ross B. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08)

Static analysis and program transformation for secure computation on the cloud

Dong, Yao (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-12)

This dissertation presents an approach to analyze and transform Java programs to operate over encrypted data. The approach makes use of partially homomorphic encryption and a trusted client. We propose two systems, JCrypt ...

Static and dynamic elastic strain engineering of low-dimensional optically active ceramics

Wang, Yiping (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)

I explored both static van der Waals epitaxial strain engineering and phase transition induced dynamic strain pathways that could enable a much broader horizon of the elastic strain engineering field. By taking advantage ...
