Abstract: The combustion synthesis of carbon nanotubes is reviewed, examining their formation and control in diffusion flames. Much of the initial work in this area employed coflow diffusion flames and ...

Abstract: Analysis of urban metabolism has been established as an appropriate approach for assessing the sustainability of cities. A desirable next step is to use the metabolism as a guide to

Abstract: The first‐order surface pollutant washoff model is examined under noise‐corrupted runoff conditions. Statistics of the pollutant load are derived using the derived probability distribution concept and verified using Monte ...

Abstract: A systems approach is used to model the urban water cycle. A model for analyzing the flows of water, energy, and chemicals and associated greenhouse gas emissions through the urban water infrastructure system is developed. ...

Abstract: This study provides an empirical assessment of energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with high and low residential development. Three major elements of urban development are considered: construction ...

Abstract: A project-based student Enterprise program was established at Michigan Technological University as part of an effort, funded by the National Science Foundation, related to reform of engineering education. The Enterprise ...

Abstract: Eye trauma results in 30,000 cases of blindness each year in the United States and is the second leading cause of monocular visual impairment. Eye injury is caused by a wide variety of ...

Abstract: Given the rising concerns over scarce energy resources and global climate change, life-cycle inventories focusing on energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were developed for the City of Toronto municipal water ...
