One of the initial steps to set up operations in a new plant or for a new product is selection of equipment. But before one proceeds to select the equipment that is essential for manufacturing and assembling the designed ...

A patent has the potential of providing tremendous wealth to its owner. The owner can prevent all others from using, making or selling the patented item throughout the United States for as long as 17 years. However, the patent is worthless unless...

The National Board of Fire Underwriters reports that lightning is the chief cause of farm fires. Thirty-seven percent of fires resulting from known causes are started by lightning. Each year lightning kills 400 people, ...

Electricity is a safe and convenient source of energy for heat, light and power in your home and on your farm, provided it is distributed in correctly sized and properly protected conductors. Good wiring systems are safe ...

gelation process of reduced graphene oxide was developed and utilized for self-assembling Al and Bi2O3 into macroscale structures with enhanced energetic performance and handling safety. The process successfully reduced graphene oxide sheets into r...

difficult due to independent segregation in meiosis. Alternatively, the use of binary bacterial artificial chromosomes (BiBACs), large insert cloning vectors, can maintain and transfer up to 300 kps, but are also subject to random integrations. Therefore...

Modal logic is a family of logics for reasoning about relational structures, broadly construed. It sits at the nexus of philosophy, mathematics, software engineering, and economics. By modeling a target domain as a relational ...

Phase retrieval and phaseless reconstruction for Hilbert space frames is a very active area of research. Recently, it was shown that these concepts are equivalent. In this thesis, we make a detailed study of a weakening ...

The search for conditions for the consistency of maximum likelihood estimators in nonlinear mixed effects models is difficult due to the fact that, in general, the likelihood can only be expressed as an integral over the ...

Gene expression is the required process in eukaryotes in which DNA is transcribed into pre-mRNA, spliced to produce "mature" mRNA and translated into proteins. Inaccuracies in splicing events are receiving more attention ...

obtained using bovine c dna microarrays. Of the 17,692 probes on the arrays, 606 unique genes and 32 sequences not matching any known genes were identified as differentially expressed with a cut off false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05. Seventeen gene...

With a massive budget deficit and an ever-increasing national debt, while Congress and the President almost shut down the federal government over funding for Planned Parenthood in 2011, defense spending seems to be nearly ...

We present a new identification scheme which is based on Legendre symbols modulo a certain hidden prime and which is naturally suited for low power, low memory applications.
