The mechanical performance of cordwood

Biosystems Engineering, 2011
Cordwood structures are used by only a few independent builders and to date the only real technical development has existed in North America. However, cordwood structures could help reduce environmental impact because cordwood has very low embodied energy and is able to store carbon dioxide.

Electrospray, Mechanism and Performance

1991
Recent work by Fenn et al. [1–4] has demonstrated the extraordinary potential of electrospray ionization (ES) as an interface for capillary liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Henion et al. [5–7] using a modification of the electrospray method in which the nebulization of the liquid effluent is achieved by a turbulent gas (N2) flow, have also ...

Refractory Performance and Mechanism of Damage

2019
This chapter deals with performance of Refractories in the Cement industry. The factors which determine the performance of Refractory are addressed in details. It shows that although Refractory quality is very important, the refractory performances depend only to a small extent on Refractory quality. The best quality refractory will not perform well if

Performance evaluation of a dead reckoning mechanism

Proceedings. 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Interactive Simulation and Real-Time Applications (Cat. No.98EX191), 2002
A dead reckoning mechanism allows one to reduce network bandwidth utilization considerably. As available bandwith is the key problem for large distributed interactive simulation (DIS) systems, we expect that a dead reckoning mechanism will allow us to increase the number of entities involved in a DIS exercise.

Mechanical performance of wound closure tapes

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1983
On the basis of these in vitro and in vivo studies, Shur-Strips are recommended for wound closure. These tapes have a non-woven microporous structure with an adhesive that aggressively bonds to underlying skin. The level of adhesion of Shur-Strips to the skin can be enhanced by adhesive adjuncts.

Mechanical Performances of Super Sulfated Cements

Key Engineering Materials, 2014
Tested super sulfated cements (SSC) are composed with various amounts of ground granulated blast furnace slag, gypsum or activated gypsum and Portland cement. Our initial results on the optimization of the composition and of the curing conditions of such cements are presented herein.

Accelaration mechanisms for computer performance enhancements

Microprocessing and Microprogramming, 1990
Abstract Acceleration mechanisms are necessary to provide computer users with sufficient processing speed. However, because of the abundance of acceleration mechanisms, it is difficult to discern the relation between these mechanisms. Therefore this paper introduces an overview of acceleration mechanisms, in which acceleration mechanisms for single ...

The Perform and Dependency Mechanisms

1997
This chapter introduces the use of the perform mechanism which provides an alternative method for sending messages. It then presents a practical discussion of the dependency mechanism. This includes what the dependency mechanism is, why you might want to use it, how to construct a dependency and the effect that it has.

Performance-based dynamic contracting mechanism

International Journal of Critical Infrastructures, 2012
Road infrastructure contracting is becoming more complex due to changing transport needs and new technologies. Transportation agencies are struggling with this increased complexity. Around the world, agencies have developed a variety of methods for undertaking outsourcing initiatives known as performance-based contracting and total asset management ...
