Ice mass loss from Antarctica is the main source uncertainty in projections of sea level rise. In Antarctica, the rate at which grounded ice discharges into the ocean and raises sea level is largely controlled by ice shelves, the floating extensions of the ice sheet. Ice shelves…
Short-horned grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) were studied in the field as well as in laboratory for their distribution, identification, preferred food plants and feeding damage. These grasshoppers compete for forage with cattle. Examination of the 20 most common grasshopper…
Polymer materials such as Polycarbonate (PC), Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) have numerous applications in transparent armor which includes body and face shield, helmet, windows of the armored vehicle etc. The most challenging part of these applications is to ensure the safety o…
A combined analytical and experimental work is described to demonstrate the application of Laser Ultrasonic techniques for monitoring long term performance (Durability) of thick-section Pultruded FRP composites. Damage is induced in the material using both environmental and mech…
PQuake™ is an integrated digital system that facilitates earthquake damage reconnaissance. It combines digital photography, handheld GPS technology and custom software for a Palm® handheld computer to provide a user-friendly field data collection system. It mitigates the deficie…
This study evaluates the effect of formation damage on horizontal well performance. A computer model in the FORTRAN language is developed in this study. The model describes the fluid flow interaction between the reservoir and the wellbore, taking into account the combined effect…
