The model equations are refined to expand its failure prediction capabilities. The electron temperature is re-defined solely as a function of the electric field, and the defect generation rate is more closely aligned with ...

Software metrics represent an application of conventional computer science to itselfin an attempt to quantify the complexity of software systems. Many of the conventional metrics proposed in academia and industry find their ...

In this thesis, I have presented a new configuration for supersonic aircraft fuselages. I first demonstrated that the commercial Fluent code provides mesh converged, valid results for supersonic flows around various ...

This study argues that while these communities are increasingly using the internet to communicate and organize, expertise that new members gain from the internet is not truly ‘valid;’ because expertise in these communities ...

With a need for greener fuels, research into production of biofuels is essential. Isobutanol out preforms ethanol in key metrics such as engine compatibility, energy density, and gasoline blending. Current biofuel strategies ...

Evaporation of water is ubiquitous, found in a multitude of natural processes and industrial applications. While scientific studies of water evaporation have been performed for over a century, there exists continued interest ...
