Performance characteristics of rotating, non-capillary heat pipes.

A growing body of empirical work has documented the superior performance characteristics of exporting plants and firms relative to non-exporters. Employment, shipments, wages, productivity and capital intensity are all higher at exporters at any given moment. This paper asks whether good firms

studies have been published reporting Internet backbone traffic usage and characteristics. At MCI, we have implemented a high-performance, low-cost monitoring system that can capture traffic and perform analyses. We have deployed this monitoring tool on OC-3 trunks within internetMCI’s backbone and also

The PMs used in the chamber tests had mass median diameters (MMDs) larger than 10 m, whereas the PM emitted from the oil pipe cleaning system for the field tests had MMD smaller than 10 m. The co-located TSP and PM10 sampler testing

Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the result of intense practice extended

In this paper, we report on a systematic medium-scale (up to sixty nodes) measurement of packet delivery in three

The reliability and performance characteristics of a replicated file can be controlled by appropriately choosing

Abstract approved (Major professor) The local system of production, processing and distribution of fluid milk in the Portland-Vancouver market is under challenge. This challenge has originated in technological and institutional develop-ments which allow fluid milk to move longer distances. These deve-lopments, in turn., have resulted in distortions of the production-proces sing-distribution complex. Consequently, the structure of the fluid milk industry is changing. Local producers continue to supply the major portion of milk for local use; however, the production areas are undergoing a process of change. Raw milk from distant areas is now moving many miles to the metropolitan paarket. Processed packaged milk is being sold at even greater distances from centralized processing plants. Even with a growing population the number of pro-cessing plants has been materially reduced. Milk producers have tended to become fewer andlarger. In addition, the shift from home delivery to store distributionis continuing.
