Comparison and development of hurricane electrical power system damage models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)This document summarizes work done at Los Alamos national lab on Hurricane damage prediction, specifically, to the electrical power grid. An older, heuristic model is compared with a new automated heuristic method and a ... -
Compact oscillating heat pipe and development of fuzzy copper or wicking structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A central processing units (CPU) calculation speed is limited by the heat it produces. As the number of transistors and the clock speed of CPUs increase they become more powerful, but they also generate more heat which ...
