Protocols for Accelerating Laboratory Weathering and Measurements of Degradation of Polymer-Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites

August 3, 2015

Author(s)

Li Piin Sung, Tinh Nguyen

Polymer nanocomposites containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are increasingly or potentially will be used in many large-volume industries. These advanced composites are exposed to severe mechanical and environmental stresses, such that, during

Author(s)

Garretson Ian C. , Kevin W. Lyons, Mahesh Mani, Swee K. Leong, Matthew Carter D. , Ann Simmons E. , Karl Haapala R.

Industrial uses of natural resources are increasing at an alarming rate. Engineering and decision support tools are needed for analyzing and curbing industrial consumption of resources. Further, assessment methods to measure and indicate continuous

Using Neutron Radiography to Quantify Water Transport and the Degree of Saturation in Entrained Air Cement Based Mortar

August 3, 2015

Author(s)

Catherine Lucero, Dale P. Bentz, Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Jason Weiss

Air entrainment is commonly added to concrete to help in reducing the potential for freeze thaw damage. It is hypothesized that the entrained air voids remain unsaturated or partially saturated long after the smaller pores fill with water. Small gel and

Evaluation of ASCE 7-10 Wind Velocity Pressure Coefficients on the Components and Cladding of Low-rise Buildings Using Recent Wind Tunnel Testing Data

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Dat Duthinh

In the USA, wind loads for building design are specified in a publication of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE 7). The current version, ASCE 7-10, relies on wind tunnel tests that date back 30 to 50 years. In recent decades, many more test

Framework for Cloud Usability

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Brian C. Stanton, Mary F. Theofanos, Karun P. Joshi

Organizations are increasingly adopting cloud-based services to meet their business needs. However, due to the complexity and diversity of cloud systems it is important to evaluate the user experience using within a framework that encompasses the

Human Generated Passwords - the Impacts of Password Requirements and Presentation Styles

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Paul Y. Lee, Yee-Yin Choong

The generation stage of the user password management lifecycle is arguably the most important yet perilous step. Fulfilling minimum length and character type requirements while attempting to create something memorable can become an arduous task, leaving

Localization and Number of Au Nanoparticles in Optically Indexed Cells by FIB Tomography

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Aric W. Sanders, Kavita M. Jeerage, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay, Alexandra Curtin

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are gaining importance as therapeutic chemical delivery vehicles, medical diagnostic tools, phototherapeutic and contrast enhancement agents. GNPs are uniquely suited for these biological uses because of their chemical stability

What 4,500+ people can tell you  Employees' Attitudes toward Organizational Password Policy Do Matter

August 2, 2015

Author(s)

Yee-Yin Choong, Mary F. Theofanos

Organizations establish policies on how employees should generate, maintain, and use passwords to authenticate and gain access to the organizations information systems. This paper focuses on employees attitudes towards organizational password policies

Effect of fire prevention programs on accidental and incendiary wildfires on tribal lands in the U.S.

August 1, 2015

Author(s)

Karen L. Abt, David Butry, Jeffrey P. Prestemon, Samuel Scranton

Humans cause more than 55 % of wildfires on lands managed by the USDA Forest Service and U.S. Department of the Interior, contributing to both suppression expenditures and damages. One means to reduce the expenditures and damages associated with these

Evaluating Texture Compression Masking Effects using Objective Image Quality Assessment Metrics

August 1, 2015

Author(s)

Wesley N. Griffin, Marc Olano

Texture compression is widely used in real-time rendering to reduce storage and bandwidth requirements. Recent research in compression algorithms has explored both reduced ﬁxed bit rate and variable bit rate algorithms. The results are evaluated at the
