Abstract: This paper describes the specifications recommended by the authors for buying linepipe in grades up to X-70 for wet, sour service. The linepipe is tested to verify that it is resistant to ...

Abstract: Perchlorate

Abstract: An investigation of interconnect fatigue in photovoltaic systems has led to the development of useful reliability-design and life-prediction algorithms presented here. Experimental data gathered in ...

Abstract: The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy’s (FE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), in partnership with private industries, is leading the development and demonstration ...

Abstract: Vein grafts are subject to increased tensile stress due to exposure to arterial blood pressure, which has been hypothesized to induce endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) injury. ...

Abstract: A dynamic simulation of a PEMFC hybrid system has been developed in a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to study the component interactions between a diesel fuel processor, a PEMFC system, a ...

Abstract: The Circle of Willis is a ring-like structure of blood vessels found beneath the hypothalamus at the base of the brain. Its main function is to distribute oxygen-rich arterial blood to the ...

Abstract: This paper describes the developments and application of a laser-based instrument used to experimentally load test bridges. The instrument is used to quickly and unobtrusively measure bridge girder deflections under static ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the mechanical properties of the axillary pouch of the inferior glenohumeral ligament in the directions perpendicular (transverse) and parallel ...
