Abstract After data collection and entry, survey data need to be prepared for analysis and analyzed. The data preparation stage involves three important components: data formatting, data editing, and computation of survey weights. The data analysis stage involves the choice of relevant statistical tools according to t…

NASAs Orbital Debris Engineering Model was designed to calculate orbital debris fluxes on spacecraft in order to assess collision risk. The newest of these models, ORDEM 3.0, has a number of features not present in previous models. One of the most important is that the populations and fluxes are now broken out into ma…

Homogeneous charge compression ignition engines have the potential for low emissions and better efficiency. This benefit is due to its low temperature constant volume combustion where the diesel cycle moves closer to Otto cycle for the same compression ratio. Numerical investigations are carried out on a direct inject…

Finding an accurate ab initio approach for calculating the electronic properties of transition metal oxides has been a problem for several decades. In this paper, we investigate the electronic structure of the transition metal monoxides MnO, CoO, and NiO in their undistorted rock-salt structure within a fully iterated…

I consider a special atomic scattering problem where the target atom has distinct "soft" and "hard" excitation modes. I demonstrate that in this problem the integration out of "short-distance" (or "high-energy") physics may occur automatically in the regular perturbative calculations, i.e., it may occur without any cu…

This thesis was carried out in the frame of the BIOCOR ITN European project, in close collaboration with the industrial partner RSE S.p.A. (Italy). Copper alloys commonly used in cooling systems of power plants may be affected by biocorrosion induced by biofilm formation. The main objective of this work was to study t…

The widespread use of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) in a variety of technologies and consumer products inevitably causes their release into aquatic environments and final deposition into the oceans. In addition, a growing number of ENM products are being developed specifically for marine applications, such as antifo…

We demonstrate the expansion and collapse of surface-grafted zwitterionic polymer brushes in water caused by the addition of urea. We hypothesize that at low urea concentrations, this is an effect of an ion–dipole interaction between urea and the polymer, and at high urea concentrations, an effect of a change in water…

Purpose. Relevant to the bridges, which are operated, is to determine the actual parameters of natural modes, which actually allow the identification of the design as a dynamic system. It is proposed to determine these parameters for the results of dynamic tests to analyze them in the developed computational and analy…

The risk of pipeline failure is a measure of the state of knowledge of the pipeline; improved knowledge of the pipeline reduces the uncertainty and therefore can reduce the associated risk. Specifically for corrosion defects, the knowledge of the number and size of defects is often obtained using in-line inspection to…
