Abstract:
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) was one of the most prolific British composers of the twentieth century, yet his operas are virtually unknown in the standard operatic repertoire. Singers and teachers of singing are often challenged in finding operatic arias composed in the English language, because the standard operatic repertoire simply does not have as many works originally written in English as are found in Italian, German, or French. If there are arias from Vaughan Williams’ operas that are accessible to the young singing voice, they should not remain unknown. This study was executed

Abstract:
Dust accumulation on photovoltaic (PV) modules and its effect on their performance are of high concern for regions with a high rate of dust, low frequency and intensity of rain. In this thesis, the effect of dust on PV modules is investigated with respect to dust concentration and spectral transmittance. The measured spectral transmittance of the dust sample shows spectral attenuation effect that varies at different wavelengths. This effect is explained by the particle size distribution of the dust samples: At shorter wavelengths more light is scattered due to the effect of the smaller particl

Abstract:
Erosion of gas turbines operating in sandy or dusty environments can result in serious damage to the engine components, particularly the compressor unit. This phenomenon is a result of the ingestion of the sand particles into the engine and their consequent abrasive impacts on the blade surfaces. In order to understand the mechanism of sand ingestion and the resulting performance degradation, a general methodology has been developed for predicting the trajectories of particles, the erosion rates and blade profile changes, with predictive capabilities for performance degradations within more ge

An experimental investigation has been carried out to determine the aerodynamic performance of an annular S-shaped duct representative of that used to connect the compressor spools of aircraft gas turbine engines. Measurements of both the mean flow and turbulent structure have been obtained using both 5 hole pressure probes and a3 component Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA) system. The measurements indicate that development of the flow within the duct is complex and significantly influenced by the combined effects of streamwise pressure gradients and flow curvature.

An experimental and theoretical analysis of the effects of ion bombardment on Schottky diodes is presented. The experimentally observed shifts in diode performance are compared to the conditions of ion exposure. These experiments show that Schottky diodes exposed to ion beams show decreases in effective barrier heights and ideality factors, as well as increased incidence of premature reverse breakdown. The change in barrier height is found to be proportional to the energy of the individual ions and the total number of ions delivered to the surface. A numerical simulation of the damage process

Ventilation systems for a nuclear plant must have a very high reliability and effectiveness. In this application, fluidic devices have advantages which electro-mechanical and pneumatic devices lack. Fluidic devices will not easily wear out, they have a relatively fast response and in some cases they may be cheaper than an equivalent conventional device. Most importantly, they have fewer moving parts (usually none) so are inherently reliable, so long as the fluidic design is effective. So vortex amplifiers (VXA) are ideal for active ventilation systems where access for maintenance is problemati

In an effort to build on that sacrality, sometimes religious cultures bring theatre to these spaces, which, in turn, tend to alter the nature of the theatrical event.
