Thrust Chamber Modeling Using Navier-Stokes Equations: Code Documentation and Listings
A copy of the PHOENICS input files and FORTRAN code developed for the modeling of thrust chambers is given. These copies are contained in the Appendices. The listings are contained in Appendices A through E. Appendix A describes the input statements relevant to thrust chamber modeling as well as the FORTRAN code developed for the Satellite program. Appendix B describes the FORTRAN code developed for the Ground program. Appendices C through E contain copies of the Q1 (input) file, the Satellite program, and the Ground program respectively
Spacelab system analysis: A study of the Marshall Avionics System Testbed (MAST)
An analysis of the Marshall Avionics Systems Testbed (MAST) communications requirements is presented. The average offered load for typical nodes is estimated. Suitable local area networks are determined
Spacelab system analysis: A study of communications systems for advanced launch systems
An analysis of the required performance of internal avionics data bases for future launch vehicles is presented. Suitable local area networks that can service these requirements are determined
Neutrino Dimuon Production and the Strangeness Asymmetry of the Nucleon
We have performed the first global QCD analysis to include the CCFR and NuTeV
dimuon data, which provide direct constraints on the strange and anti-strange
parton distributions, and . To explore the strangeness
sector, we adopt a general parametrization of the non-perturbative functions satisfying basic QCD requirements. We find that the
strangeness asymmetry, as represented by the momentum integral , is sensitive to the dimuon data provided the
theoretical QCD constraints are enforced. We use the Lagrange Multiplier method
to probe the quality of the global fit as a function of and find
. Representative parton distribution sets spanning this
range are given. Comparisons with previous work are made.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures; expanded version for publicatio
Isolation of microsatellite loci in the Capricorn silvereye, Zosterops lateralis chlorocephalus (Aves : Zosteropidae)
The Capricorn silvereye (Zosterops lateralis chlorocephalus
) is ideally suited to investigating the genetic basis of body size evolution. We have isolated and characterized a set of microsatellite markers for this species. Seven out of 11 loci were polymorphic. The number of alleles
detected ranged from two to five and observed heterozygosities between 0.12 and 0.67. One locus, ZL49, was found to be sex-linked. This moderate level of diversity is consistent with that expected in an isolated, island population
Demonstrating the feasibility of standardized application program interfaces that will allow mobile/portable terminals to receive services combining UMTS and DVB-T
Crucial to the commercial exploitation of any service combining UMTS and DVB-T is the availability of standardized API’s adapted to the hybrid UMTS and DVB-T network and to the technical limitations of mobile/portable terminals. This paper describes work carried out in the European Commission Framework Program 5 (FP5) project CONFLUENT to demonstrate the feasibility of such Application Program Interfaces (API’s) by enabling the reception of a Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) based application transmitted over DVB-T on five different terminals with parts of the service running on a mobile phone
