Optimizing antenna gain with a metamaterial filter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Metamaterials are man-made structures, usually designed by placing electromagnetic resonators, such as split ring resonators (SRRs), in a periodic array. Metamaterials also exhibit lensing properties, and, when placed next ... -
Plasma and Monte Carlo modeling of a psuedospark x-ray source
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)A pseudospark x-ray source, for application in portable medical imaging, has been simulated at the University of Missouri. This device would allow for deployment in many venues such as emergency rooms, doctors' offices, ... -
Removal of disinfection by-product precursors by activated carbon and MIEX(R)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The objective of this research was to investigate NOM removal with activated carbon and MIEX(R). Hydrophilic (HPI), hydrophobic (HPO), and transphilic (TPI) NOM was fractionated and subsequent DBP formation from these ... -
Speed-based safety analysis for work zones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Speed is one of the characteristics of traffic flow that affect accident rates and severity near work zones. Approximately 25% fatal crashes in work zones involved high speed. In speed-related work zone traffic safety ... -
Surface characterization and measurements of adhesion force between graphite clustered particles and Hastelloy X surface using an atomic force microscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This work reports preliminary results on the determination of the adhesion forces between a graphite cluster probe and Hastelloy X samples having ... -
Testing the pressure transient flow-force for spool-type two-way valves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)An analysis is presented of the flow force acting on a two-way valve using the equilibrium condition of the piston and the equilibrium condition of fluid in the control volume. Three types of flow forces are identified: ... -
Total hemispherical emissivity of very high temperature reactor (VHTR) candidate materials : Hastelloy X, Haynes 230, and Alloy 617
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)An experimental system was constructed in accordance with the standard ASTM C835-06 to measure the total hemispherical emissivity of structural materials of interest in Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) systems. The ...
