Towards holistic goal centered performance management in software development: lessons from a best practice analysis
(SciKA, 2015)
There are strong motivating factors for more effective performance measurement practices in software development. Astute practices in this domain are lauded to improve efficiency and effectiveness. However previous studies ...
Effect of fast pyrolysis conditions on biomass solid residues at high temperatures
(Elsevier, 2015-12-03)
Fast pyrolysis of wood and straw was conducted in a drop tube furnace (DTF) and compared with corresponding data from a wire mesh reactor (WMR) to study the influence of temperature (1000–1400)°C, biomass origin (pinewood, ...
Influence of fast pyrolysis conditions on yield and structural transformation of biomass chars
(Elsevier, 2015-09-19)
Fast pyrolysis of biomass (wood, straw, rice husk) and its major components (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) was conducted in a wire mesh reactor. The aim of this study was to understand the influence of temperature ...
A dislocation-based model for high temperature cyclic viscoplasticity of 9-12Cr steels
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-06-22)
A dislocation-based model for high temperature cyclic viscoplasticity in 9–12Cr steels is presented. This model incorporates (i) cyclic softening via decrease in overall dislocation density, loss of low angle boundary ...
A porosity-based corrosion model for alkali halide ash deposits during biomass co-firing.
(American Chemical Society, 2015-04-24)
This paper presents a physics-based model to describe accelerated corrosion because of alkali-halide-containing deposits, which form on superheater tube walls during biomass co-firing. Increased rates of corrosion during ...
Analysis of shear-induced platelet aggregation and breakup
(Springer, 2015-07-31)
To better understand the mechanisms leading to the formation of thrombi of hazardous sizes in the bulk of the blood, we have developed a kinetic model of shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA). In our model, shear rate ...
