To reach the end user, oil and gas production at the wellhead must be transmitted through the country and distributed to a wide range of customers. This logistical system requires natural gas gathering lines, processing facilities, product storage tanks and lots of other equipment. What results is air pollution caused by industry losses during these operations and the use of continuous or intermit ...

The goal of this project is the formulation a rigid, insulating, low-density wood composite, with physical and thermal properties comparable to fossil fuel derived foams. _x000D_ _x000D_ To achieve energy conservation standards mandated by certification agencies such as Passive House and LEED, high performance buildings require multiple shells of insulation – an inner shell that contains electri ...

Graph analytics is a key component in identifying emerging trends and threats in many real-world applications. Large-scale graph analytics frameworks provide a convenient and highly scalable platform for developing algorithms to analyze large datasets. Although conceptually scalable, these techniques exhibit poor performance on modern computational hardware. Another model of graph computation has ...

Techshot proposes the L4 ArchitectUre for Next-generation Crewed Hardware (LAUNCH), a set of open-source software components that leverages the verified separation kernel of seL4 to create a robust achievable system that can be used to reduce the cost and development time of highly reliable systems like those used on crewed space flight. With over a 25 year history of developing life science paylo ...

A new class of high-performance, low-SWaP computational devices is emerging based on increasingly diverse architectures. This diversity is improving performance, but comes at the cost of increased programming complexity. Each architecture requires variances in programming environment and model, typically distinguished by the type of parallelism supported by the hardware, limiting software portabil ...

RAPID INTENSE HEATING OF COMPOSITE LAMINATES DUE TO DIRECT ENERGY WEAPONS WILL INDUCE STRONG THERMAL GRADIENTS THAT IN TURN PRODUCE DYNAMIC STRESSES IN THE FORM OF WAVE MOTION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP A MINDLIN PLATE FINITE ELEMENT PROGRAM FOR ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR IN A COMPOSITE LAMINATE SUBJECTED TO COMBINED THERMAL/SHOCK AND SIMULATED IN-FLIGHT AERODYNAMIC LOADIN ...

OPTOELECTRONIC SOURCES, INTEGRATED AS MONOLITHIC ELEMENTS ON SILICON VLSI CHIPS, OFFER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES IN THE TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION WITHIN THE CHIP OR BETWEEN CHIPS IN ADVANCED COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THE SPEED OF OPTICAL-INTEGRATED VLSI DEVICES IS EXPECTED TO BE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER THAN EQUIVALENT VLSI WITH METALLIC INTERCONNECTS, DUE TO ABSENCE OF THE RC DELAY INHERENT IN THE METALLIC CONDU ...

CARBON/CARBON COMPOSITES ARE HIGH STRENGTH MATERIALS WHICH WILL BE INCREASINGLY USED IN ADVANCED AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE SYSTEMS. AS MATERIAL PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS BECOME MORE STRINGENT, THE CURRENT PROCESS CONTROL METHODS WILL BECOME INADEQUATE AND MANUFACTURING VARIABILITIES WILL IMPACT ON SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, COST AND RELIABILITY.CURRENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS RELY HEAVILY ON TEMPERATURE AND PRE ...
