Driving and the Built Environment: Effects of Compact Development on Motorized Travel, Energy Use, and CO2 Emissions examines the relationship between land development patterns and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the United States to assess whether petroleum use, and by extension greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, could be reduced by changes in the design of development patterns. The report estimates the contributions that changes in residential and mixed-use development patterns and transit investments could make in reducing VMT by 2030 and 20 ....etc

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method (first developed for systems engineering) that examines potential failures in products or processes. It may be used to evaluate risk management priorities for mitigating known threat-vulnerabilities.

FMEA helps select remedial actions that reduce cumulative impacts of life-cycle consequences (risks) from a systems failure (fault).

By adapting hazard tree analysis to facilitate visual learning, this m ....etc

Effects of Organizational Culture on Employee Morale

INTRODUCTION

Every Organization has a culture. It has its own cultural forms that constitute the expected, supported and accepted way of behaving. These norms are mostly unwritten and tell employees the way things really are. These influence everyone's perception of the business from the chief executive to the lowest rank. Employees from all cadres of any organization contribute to the success or failure of the organization, to the norms by ac ....etc

Pulse Shape Improvement in Core-Type High-Voltage Pulse Transformers With Auxiliary Windings
High-voltage pulsed power technologies are rapidly emerging as a key to efficient and flexible use of electrical power for many industrial applications. One of the most important elements in high-voltage pulse-generating circuit technology is the transformer, generallyused to further increase the pulse output voltage level. However, its nonideal behavior has significant influence on the output pulse shape.The most attractive winding configurati ....etc

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) is an intense energy field that can instantly overload or disrupt numerous electrical circuits at a distance. Modern high technology microcircuits are especially sensitive to power surges, and the possible vulnerability of U.S. civilian computer systems to the effects of EMP has been discussed in the media. EMP can be produced on a large scale using a single nuclear explosion, and on a smaller, non-nuclear scale using a device with batteries or chemical explosives. Several nations, including reported sponsors of ter ....etc

The effects of phase noise in COFDM
The reception of a COFDM signal is analyzed in this article taking the particular case that phase noise has been added to the signal. The distinguished errors found are : common phase error and inter-carrier interference. using a pair of weighting functions, the effects of this distortions is removed from the signal.

How is phase noise introduced
Phase noise is the random perturbation of the phase of the steady sinusoidal waveform and practically all oscillators are affected by this. The ....etc

I. Introduction
Current U.S. military transformation strategy centers on information dominance, network-centric warfare, and expeditionary operations. Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom demonstrated a spectacular evolution of capability in these key areas. Certainly, adversaries learned from Saddamâ„¢s poor decision to face American forces head-on and will increasingly employ asymmetric attacks to defeat U.S. forces in the future. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons represent one of the most likely and potentially devastating opp ....etc
