MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH RISKS EMANATING FROM CONTAMINANTS IN DRINKING WATER REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF THE IMPACTS OF WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS ON HOUSEHOLD WATER BILLS. FACTORS AFFECTING HOUSEHOLD WATER BILLS VARY SYSTEMATICALLY FROM PLACE TO PLACE. BY MODELING THESE FACTORS IT IS POSSIBLE TOPREDICT IMPACTS FROM IMPLEMENTING CONTAMINANT REMOVAL MEASURES. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH FOCUSES ON: 1) IMPROVEMENTS ...

THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A ROBOTIC SYSTEM TO FILAMENT WIND COMPLEX SHAPES WITH ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS IS EXAMINED. COMMERCIALLY AVAILABEL FILAMENT WINDING MACHINES ARE EXPENSIVE AND LIMITE-SYMMETRIC FAMILIES OF SHAPES. THEY REQUIRE THE MANDREL (WRAPPING FORM) TO ROTATE AS A MEANS OF DISPENSING THE FILAMENT. AN EFFICIENT, COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TOWIND COMPLEX SHAPES IS TO MOUNT THE FORM TO A BASE ...

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 ...
