Nitrous Oxide Fluxes from a Commercial Beef Cattle Feedlot in Kansas
(2014-03-10)
Emission of greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide (N2O), from open beef cattle feedlots is becoming an environmental concern; however, research measuring emission rates of N2O from open beef cattle feedlots has been ...
Experimental research on the effects of water application on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle feedlots
(2014-04-30)
The effect of water application (e.g., through rainfall or sprinkler system) on emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), from pen surfaces of open-lot beef ...
The Balance Score Card for the Design and Validation Instrumens to Measure the Academic Teachers´s Achievement and Performance
(2012-07-04)
The evaluation of faculty work is critical for the university accreditation. Moreover, particularly sensitive to this related tendency of faculty work evaluation; it is necessary to go beyond the knowledge factor and ...
Numerical analysis of the straightening process of thin plate structures by elastic FEM based on the inherent strain method
(2012-12)
Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ...
Remote sensing of temperature changes in Panama canal watershed from landsat
(2010-09)
La temperatura de superficie es un factor central, como variable de control en los estudios de cambio climático, balance de calor y modelos climáticos. El conocimiento de la temperatura de superficie es importante para ...
Development of a neural network model to predict distortion during the metal forming process by line heating
(2013-01)
In order to achieve automation of the plate forming process by line heating, it is necessary to know in advance the deformation to be obtained under specific heating conditions. Currently, different methods exist to predict ...
Project-based learning and use of the CDIO Syllabus for geology course assessment
(2014-07-06)
This study provides an overview of the development of hard and soft skills from project-based curriculum planning, and suggests ways to evaluate them in the context of engineering education and their importance in the ...
Analysis and prediction of welding distortion in complex structures using elastic finite element method
(2012-07)
The Elastic Finite Element Method based on the inherent strain theory is used to predict the welding distortion of ship structures. In addition, a method to predict welding distortion of complex structures by using elastic ...
Matriz "Importance performance analysis" de atributos criticos de satisfaccion de clientes en ciencia y tecnologia y medidas correctivas frente a la acreditacion institucional
(2013-10)
La satisfacción del alumno es un pilar del marketing universitario. En un momento, particularmente sensible relacionado al mercado universitario, a la acreditación institucional y a la imagen que emerge de las diferentes ...
Morphological Characterization of Brazilian Organ Clays Using AFM and SEM Studies
(2013-05)
A combination of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) techniques was used to characterise the morphology of Brazilian montmorillonites before and after intercalation of some organic compounds. ...
