Aerodynamic characterization of a Griffith-type transonic, laminar-flow airfoil
… of Illinois’ Transonic Wind Tunnel Facility on a Griffith-type transonic airfoil to evaluate the effectiveness of its laminar flow qualities and boundary-layer flow-control characteristics in the transonic regime. Airfoil surface and wake pressure data were acquired to characterize the aerodynamic …

Sir Richard Griffith's Three Valuations of Ireland 1826-1864
… between 1852 and 1864. Commonly known as ‘Griffith’s valuation’ – in deference to its architect and compiler Sir Richard Griffith (17861874) – it lists the occupier and his/her immediate landlord of every property in midnineteenth century Ireland as well as the acreage of the holding, its …

The Solution of Hypersingular Integral Equations With Applications in Acoustics and Fracture Mechanics
… waves by moving objects and the study of dynamic Griffith crack problems has necessitated a computationally efficient technique for solving such equations.</p> <p>Fracture mechanic studies are performed using the aforementioned techniques. We focus our studies on problems addressing the Stress …

The relationship between the crushing strength of brittle materials and the size of cubical specimens tested
… over the range one inch to five inches. The Griffith crack theory of failure gives the following result: P = k.c -0.5 Where P is the compressive strength in pounds per square inch. 2c is the length of cracks in the material. k is a constant. Thus, depending upon the relationship between c and …

Modernized Approach For Generating Micro-Layering And Macro-Heterogeneous Structures In Porous Media For Use In Transmitted-Light Method Flow Visualization Experiments
… and even irrigation efficiency for agriculture. Griffith, et al. (2011) developed an approach where constructed reproducible “geologically realistic” sand configurations are deposited in sand-filled experimental chambers or cells for light-transmitted flow visualization experiments. This method …

Do committees make a difference? : an examination of the viscosity of legislative committees in the British House of Commons
… of bill committee work since that of John Griffith in 1974. It analyses 139 bill committees and report stage debates over a ten year period in great detail and supplements this with a series of interviews with Members of Parliament and parliamentary officials.The thesis finds that the …

Boundary Value Problems in Rectilinearly Anisotropic Thermoelastic Solids
… are the type that arise due to the presence of a Griffith crack (or cracks) in an anisotropic thermoelastic solid. The thermoelastic field, in such materials, when the infinitesimal theory is employed, is governed by a set of elliptic partial differential equations. The general solution of these …

Nilmanifolds: complex structures, geometry and deformations
… answering a question mentioned in the book of Griffith and Harris. On our way we prove Serre Duality for Lie algebra Dolbeault cohomology and classify complex structures on nilpotent Lie algebras with small commutator subalgebra. MS Subject classification: 32G05; (32G08, 17B30, 53C30, 32C10)

Computational Analysis of Asphalt Binder based on Phase Field Method
… is Classic Fracture Mechanics first proposed by Griffith, which needs to clearly depict the crack front conditions and may cause complex cracking topologies. PFM describes the microstructure using a phase-field variable which assumes positive one in the intact solid and negative one in the crack …

The development of information literacy at the University of Cape Town
… literacy programs are discussed and the Griffith University information literacy blueprint is adopted as a standard for comparison. Further studies are suggested on the investigation of information literacy policies. The research results suggest that a high standard of information …

Development of a high throughput 3D perfused liver tissue bioreactor
… that has previously been described by the Griffith lab. In order to support this microenvironment, the reactor needs a pumping system, reservoirs and a controller. Previously, these have all been stand-alone components. This work focuses on the development of a new, integrated culture …

The Cinematic Treatment of <i>Tableaux Vivants</i> in D.W. Griffith’s <i>Broken Blossoms</i>
<p>D.W. Griffith's (January 22, 1875–July 23, 1948), one of the iconic American film directors of early silent cinema, felt his film <em>Broken</em> <em>Blossoms (1919)</em> to be his one art film and is considered to be an exemplary film in <em>Tableaux Vivants</em><a title="">[1]</a> usage. When …

More than a river: using nature for reform in the progressive era
… Neihardt, William Ellsworth Smythe, and Francis Griffith Newlands revealed how progressives looked to nature as a tool of social reform. Each of these men understood the American environment in multiple contexts. Nostalgia and romanticized Missouri River history activated themes of empire, race, …
