A Roof of One\u27s Own: Widow Walking in the Anthropocene
A nonfiction work that explores widow\u27s walks in a time of climate change on the coasts. This piece walks the lines between speculative fiction and lyrical essay
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Plaintiff, vs. Stowe-Pharr Mills, Inc., d/b/a Pharr Yarns, Defendant.
Broadband microwave waveguide window Patent
Broadband microwave waveguide window to compensate dielectric material fillin
IUS solid rocket motor contamination prediction methods
A series of computer codes were developed to predict solid rocket motor produced contamination to spacecraft sensitive surfaces. Subscale and flight test data have confirmed some of the analytical results. Application of the analysis tools to a typical spacecraft has provided early identification of potential spacecraft contamination problems and provided insight into their solution; e.g., flight plan modifications, plume or outgassing shields and/or contamination covers
Finite element formulation for transient heat treat problems
The macrothermomechanical behavior of materials subjected to rapid thermal or mechanical loading such as occurs in most heat treatments is described. The equations are developed for Lagrangian, Eulerian, and intermediary kinematic descriptions and are independent of the constitutive laws and the equation of state; they can be solved numerically for a specified material and boundary conditions. The coupled transport effects between dissipation and energy are included. The conventional linearized stability approach indicates the numerical procedure to be stable, with certain restriction on the time step size
Soil Properties and their Influence on Grassland Production under Low Input and Organic Farming Conditions
End of project reportThis project set out to identify soil properties that most influence grassland production under low mineral nitrogen input conditions. Sixteen farms were selected in Counties Limerick and Clare and the soil sampled. Soil physical and chemical characteristics and soil biological aspects involved in the carbon and nitrogen cycles were studied in the laboratory. Nutrient additions to farms as well as the nature of grazing by livestock (numbers, types of grazing animals, grazing practices), grassland management, and production from the farms were recorded
Mm-wave power meter mount
E-band thermistor mount and a technique for adjusting a temperature compensating thermistor to provide an electrically balanced bridge are used for measuring RF power in the mm-wavelength. The mount is relatively insensitive to temperature effects that cause measurement errors in single ended circuits
