IF COAL WATER FUELS (CWF) ARE TO BE USED WITH THE CONVENIENCE AND RELIABILITY OF LIQUID OR GASEOUS FUELS, CHOICES MUST BE MADE IN SLURRY FORMULATION, COAL RANK, DEGREE AND METHOD OF CLEANING, ATOMIZATION TECHNOLOGY, COMBUSTION PARAMETERS, AND SORBENT ADDITIVES. A LABORATORY-SCALE METHOD IS NEEDED FOR TESTING CWF WHERE THE RESULTS CAN BE RELATED TO THE FUEL'S PERFORMANCE IN FULL-SCALE DEVICES. A RE ...

THE ATMOSPHERE CONTAINS MANY NATURALLY OCCURRING AND MANMADE FINE PARTICLES AND AEROSOLS. THESE PARTICLES AFFECTWEATHER, AIR QUALITY AND COMMUNICATIONS. KNOWLEDGE OF THEIRCONCENTRATION, COMPOSITION, DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORT IS IMPORTANT TO THE PREDICTION OF WEATHER, DETECTION AND CONTROL OF POLLUTION, HEALTH MONITORING OF VEGETATION AND ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY. WHILE A METHODS PRESENTLY EXIST FOR ...

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: COMPLETE TESTING OF FIRE-RESISTANCE AND STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PAPER AND PAPERBOARD TREATED WITH ARNOX FIRE RETARDANT, DEVELOP PRODUCTION SCALE APPLICATION METHODS. ARNOX IS A PATENTED CONDENSED PHASE SYSTEM, LOW SMOKE FIRE RETARDANT RENDERS PAPER AND PAPERBOARD ESSENTIALLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE. DECOMPOSITION AND OUTGASSING IS MATERIALLY SLOWED. ASTM TESTS DEMONSTRATE TREATED P ...

OUR EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE WILL BE COMBINED WITH THAT OF EDUCATORS, PHYSICIANS, AND OTHER HEALTH SPECIALISTS TO DEVELOP MICROCOMPUTER EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE UNDER THE TITLE MY GOOD HEALTH. MY GOOD HEALTH IS PLANNED AS A SERIES OF GAMES INTENDED TO STIMULATE SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE PURSUIT OF A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN HEALTH, AND OF WHAT ACTION THEY C ...

THE GROWTH OF GAAS ON SILICON HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A DESIRABLE APPROACH FOR ADVANCE OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES INCLUDING OPTICAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONBETWEEN CIRCUITS AND AS A SOURCE OF LOW-COST GAAS LAYERS FORSOLAR CELL AND DISPLAY APPLICATIONS. PROGRESS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY STRAINS AND DISLOCATIONS INTRODUCED INTO THE GAAS LAYER BY TH ...
