Link Foundation Fellowship Report
(2008-09)
Peak hour electricity demand is associated with wholesale electricity prices that are sometimes more than 10
times higher than in off-peak periods. During these high-demand periods congested transmission lines and
insufficient ...
Storage of Captured Anthropogenic CO2 in Ocean Sediment
(2007)
An essential problem of CO2 capture and storage technologies is finding sufficiently large geologic
depositories to store the captured anthropogenic CO2. Additionally, due to the subsurface temperature
profile of ...
Electrification, Economic Development and Poverty Alleviation: Examining the Role of Macro-factors in Sri Lanka
(2007)
Access to modern energy services is central to enhancing rural incomes, reducing
poverty and achieving the Millennium Development Goals; however, it is not sufficient
in and of itself (Barnes 1988; Barnes & Floor 1996; ...
Dynamics of Wave-Current Boundary Layers over very Rough Boundaries
(2007)
In this study, acoustic profiling techniques are used to resolve the two-dimensional spatial structures
of the oscillating boundary layer in a phase-averaged sense over a wave orbital amplitude. The principal
objective ...
Final Report for the Link energy Fellowship
(2009)
A sustainable energy future is critical for environmental and strategic reasons.
Fossil fuel use has increased greenhouse gas emissions, and continued consumption could
adversely change global climate. In addition, the ...
Optimizing the Performance of White Light-emitting Diodes for Energy-efficient Lighting
(2009)
Over the past decade, high-brightness monochromatic (colored) LEDs have been replacing
traditional incandescent light sources in certain niche applications such as traffic signals and
“EXIT” signs. LEDs are able to save ...
Optimization of Long Range Electron Transfer for Solar Energy
(2006)
Organic photovoltaics have the potential to become an accessible form of
alternative energy production because of their ease of manufacture via traditional printing
techniques and consequent low cost.1
However, the ...
Advances in In-Situ Calibration of Attitude and Doppler Sensors for Precision Oceanographic Submersible Navigation
(2005)
This paper reviews the development and experimental evaluation of three techniques
for estimating the alignment matrix of Doppler sonars, which are commonly used for
precision navigation of oceanographic submersibles, ...

An error threshold criterion for singular value decomposition modes extracted from PIV data
(2009-10-01)
Singular value decomposition (SVD) is often
used as a tool to analyze particle image velocimetry (PIV)
data. However, experimental error tends to corrupt higher
SVD modes, in which the root mean square velocity value
is ...
