Implementation of CAE at UDC: A Pioneer Approach
This paper describes the initiation and implementation of Computer Aided Engineering at the department of electrical engineering of the University of the District of Columbia, using state-of-the-art...
An Integrated Network Laboratory for Undergraduate Data Acquisition and Data Processing
The University of Wyoming College of Engineering has recently installed an integrated laboratory of 10 networked personal computers for undergraduate student use. These machines have been...
Adaptation of ANSI Standards for Communications Testing in the Connectionless Environment
American National Standards (X 3.102 and X 3.141) establish a uniform means for specifying, assessing and comparing performance of data communications systems and services from the point...
Local Area Network Communications Testing
This paper presents the philosophy developed for benchmark communications testing in networks typical of CAD/CAM environments. Implementation of the test philosophy in a connectionless...
Planning and Implementation of a Heterogeneous Tri-Campus Computer Network
In 1988, Fairleigh Dickinson University received a grant from the New Jersey Department of Higher Education for the establishment of a Tri-Campus Computer Network to link all it's...
Performance Testing of Wide Area Networks
Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS) has developed a software measurement system to support the ANSI standards X3.102 and X3.141. This system is being used to evaluate data communication...
CAD and Video Teleconferencing Network Development
The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences is developing a prototype network to demonstrate the integration of a variety of services and methods for fulfilling Navy shipbuilding requirements....
Computer Networking Needs in Engineering Technology
This paper deals with the planning and implementation of a local area network at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in the new $13 million Engineering Technology and Applied Science...
Risk of Waterborne Infectious Illness Associated with Diving in the Point Loma Kelp Beds, San Diego, CA
There is considerable interest in estimating the risk of bacterial and viral illness (i.e., disease, infection) associated with scuba diving in the Point Loma kelp beds located within...
Risk Assessment for TCE and Related Chemicals Based on Multi-Component, Multi-Media Transport Models
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is known to undergo anaerobic transformation and produces daughter products including dichloroethene, and vinyl chloride which have been known as possible carcinogenic...
Modeling of Gaseous Emission from Landfills and Other Area Sources
Several dispersion models based on the Gaussian equation are evaluated to assess their relative utility in modeling emission dispersion from an area source, such as a landfill. The VAPOR...
Decision Framework for Assessment of Leaking UST's
A computer-based environmental planning tool, designed to help mitigate the environmental problems associated with leaking underground storage tanks (UST) is presented in this article....
Analysis of Model Uncertainty Using Bayesian Monte Carlo
Bayesian Monte Carlo analysis combines Bayesian inference with standard Monte Carlo techniques to provide improved estimates of the uncertainty in water quality model parameters and results....
Longterm Response of Lakes to Acidic Deposition
The longterm response of lakes in the northeastern United States to different levels of acidic deposition was predicted by using a lumped parameter hydrologic/biogeochemical model, the...
Evaluation and Selection of RBC Models for Design of Domestic Wastewater Facilities
