This work employs the rod chain model of Wang et al. (2006) to study the motion of discrete flexible fibers. Results are presented for both individual fibers and a stochastic distribution of fibers to study the variations ...

This report gives all conjugacy classes of the super symmetric groups HR3 and VR3

There are 9 conjugacy classes of faithful representations of S4 in the general linear group of 4x4 matrices over GF(2). This report lists the representations belonging to class 4.

During film-hole cooling, relatively cold air is extracted from the compressor of a gas turbine engine and forced through the turbine airfoils in order to lower their surface temperatures. To investigate the effects of ...

Accurate position information is needed for a robot's guidance and control systems. Therefore, the navigation system is foundational for a robot's interactions with the world. This thesis explores a biologically inspired ...

With technology and a larger-than-ever population, the society demand for energy has achieved records in the last few years. Currently, large-scale fossil fuel power plants, ranging in the hundreds of MW’s, produce most ...

There are 9 conjugacy classes of faithful representations of S4 in the general linear group of 4x4 matrices over GF(2). This report lists the representations belonging to class 1.

As the demand for electric power grows and regulations on power plant operation become stricter, the size, and therefore complexity, of new power plant units is increasing while the intricacies of the multiple simultaneous ...

Information theory is a well developed field, but does not capture the essence of what information is. Shannon Information captures something in its definition of improbability as information. But not all improbable ...

Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a recent promising imaging modality with the goal of generating accurate 3D maps of relative stopping power (RSP) with respect to water. Since the early developments of this imaging ...
