Using a computer-controlled resonant-bar apparatus at frequencies near 5 kHz, we determined the temperature-dependent (86-732 K) Young's modulus of a ceramic
To test their ability to fight high-rise fires, the Louisville Fire Department had to simulate one. And to do that, they needed the help of the National
This paper investigates the influence of quantization on 3D surface characterization by carrying out an analysis of surface parameter changes on a range of real
Translational tables now form a vital pan in three-dimensional surface topography systems. In some systems typically. one translational table is used to provide

We have measured at low temperatures the current through a submicrometer superconducting island connected to nornal metal leads by ultrasmall tunnel junctions
The nonadiabatic nature of low-speed combustion and fire, in which strongly exothermic reactions produce large temperature variations but only mild pressure
Quantitative OH concentrations and primary soot particle sizes have been determined in the soot oxidation regions of axisymmetric diffusion flames burning
Integrated models of soot production and oxidation are based upon experimental results obtained in steady, laminar flames. For successful application of these
In order to design robust and stable zone fire modeling algorithms, the numerical properties of computer arithmetic and modeling differential equations must be

A set of upholstered chairs constructed from five different fabric/foam combinations was subjected to a variety of ignition sources suggested by fire statistics
Experiments in idealized two-layer fire environments have demonstrated that concentrations of carbon monoxide and other gaseous combustion products can be
A radiometric model has been developed to assess the effects of angular truncation, finite size of the detector, and angle response characteristics of the
The paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the performance effects resulting from the installation of a liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger (LLSL-HX)
The glide-matching study presented in Part 1 was a laboratory investigation which demonstrated the evaporator performance in detail. However, since it was not
The primary approach industry has taken to fill the void resulting from the elimination of the most important CFCs (i.e., R11 and R12) has been to develop other

The effect of the fire size on radiative heat loss fraction and combustion efficiency was examined by an analysis of scale for pool flames with varying diameter
Invariant tori of solutions for nonlinearly coupled oscillators are generalizations of limit cycles in the phase plane. They are surfaces of aperiodic solutions
