 | Dynamic templating as a result of cathodic hydrogen gas production is suggested as a possible mechanism for the formation of tube-like corrosion products on an unlined cast iron pipe in a drinking water distribution system. Mounds of corrosion product, with protruding tubes and freestanding tubes, were observed within a single 30 cm section of piping. Internal morphologies for all shapes were texturally complex although mineralogically simple, composed of two iron ... |

| NASA and private launch providers have a need to understand and control ignition overpressure blast waves that are generated by a solid grain rocket during ignition. Research in accurate computational fluid dynamics prediction of the launch environment is underway. A clearer picture is emerging from empirical data which more precisely categorizes all the dissipative mechanisms present in droplet-shock interactions. In this dissertation, water droplets and their effects due to vaporization ... |

The good will and gratitude expected after liberating a population will not last unless U.S. forces take steps to relieve the people of those destabilizing conditions. These include, in addition to lack of security, loss of power, inadequate potable water, poor waste management, food shortages, and job loss. In the aftermath of MCO in both Iraq and Afghanistan, opportunities were missed to ... |

| This thesis seeks to determine if the U.S. Military's conduct of counterinsurgency (COIN) operations requires the assignment of combat sustainment and support units as the main effort. In assigning these units this new decisive role, the military maximizes their intrinsic organizational advantages in non-kinetic stability operations. Such stability operations encompass what is decisive in defeating an insurgency. However, the design of current combat power analysis tools is not applicable for ... |
