Abstract: The roll stabilization of a ship with servo-operated fins is analyzed as a system problem from the viewpoint of a control engineer. The preliminary design of a roll-damping system for a ...

Abstract: The factors that are considered in analyzing technical solutions and the tools used to obtain technical solutions have changed for construction engineers over the past 30 years. This paper discusses these changes and their ...

Abstract: A method has been developed that can photoreduce polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) to biphenyl with great speed and efficiency, as well as at relatively low cost. This process uses light, most likely of the visible wavelengths, ...

Abstract: Electrophoresis of clay particles from dilute suspensions is an innovative technology to seal leaks in operating surface impoundments that does not require removal of impoundment contents, exposure of workers to contaminants, ...

Abstract: A technique for remediating and protecting ground-water and drinking-water wells from contamination is presented. A ground-water remediation well design is proposed in which ground water is drawn into the well bottom, ...

Abstract: Abstract. Four approximate models are presented and used to predict the transient response of a solid to heating/cooling (adsorption/desorption) driven by stepwise constant, cyclic surface temperature (species concentration) ...

Abstract: This article assesses the risk to life for the Natomas Basin, a low-lying, rapidly urbanizing region in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California. Using an empirical method, the loss of life is determined for a flood ...
