The following pages describe the experimentation and analysis of two different fuels in GM's high compression ratio, turbocharged direct injection (TDI) engine. The focus is on a burn rate analysis for the fuels - gasoline ...

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a widely used transport protocol in today's multimedia applications. TCP was originally designed for wired networks, and its performance is highly degraded in networks with stochastically ...

Laboratory experiments were performed to study the combined effects of double-diffusion and rotation on an oceanic intrusion. Intrusions are driven across density-compensated fronts by the divergence of the double-diffusive ...

This thesis explores the effects of droplet size on droplet intrusion in sub-surface oil spills. Laboratory experiments were performed where glass beads of various sizes, which serve to simulate oil droplets in deepsea oil ...

The effects of Earth encounters on the physical properties of near-Earth objects (NEOs) have been shown to be significant factors in their evolution. Previous studies have examined the effects of these encounters on ...

Electricity generation from wind power is increasing worldwide. Wind power can offset traditional fossil fuel generators which is beneficial to the environment. However, wind generation is unpredictable. Wind speeds have ...

Continuous-time sigma-delta (CT-Sigma Delta) modulators have recently received great attention in the academia as well as in the industry. Despite the improved understanding of the operation of CT-Sigma Delta modulators, ...

Astronauts on the International Space Station must perform mission critical space telerobotics tasks consistently despite restricted and slam shifted sleep and circadian schedules and long session durations, which all ...
