Surfactants are used in engineering systems for reducing surface tension of fluids, especially water. However, it is not known how their viscosities affect nucleate boiling. The purpose of this research is to determine the viscosities of various surfactant solutions and elucidate the effect of viscosity on nucleate boiling

Most of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based security and privacy solutions for VANETs use pseudonyms where each vehicle gets multiple identities to improve privacy significantly.

PI Anatoly Streltsov
Propagation of electromagnetic waves in the inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma and interactions between these waves and energetic electrons inside the radiation belt are among the most important and interesting problems of modern geophysics.

PI Robert Thomas
The use of Electronic Flight Bags (EFB) is increasing in aviation. The purpose of this research is to investigate if the use of an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) during flight courses has an impact on flight student performance. Flight students will be given a series of instrument approaches to fly with paper instrument charts and with an EFB.

This research collaboration with the National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast Office Tampa Bay aims to develop an ingredients-based methodology to help improve forecasts of first-strike cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in summer thunderstorms across Central Florida. Results will be used to construct a new forecast tool that will aid NWS forecasters in protecting the region’s life and property from these dangerous lightning events.

We are developing a methodology for studying the ways in which extreme environmental events and climatic anomalies can affect human and national security considerations.

PI Todd Smith
For this study, data will be collected from aircraft maintenance technicians and A&P mechanics from both private and public organizations and the military. A zero-inflated Poisson regression analysis will be completed to examine these factors. Researchers will identify risk and protective factors related to demographic variables, work exposures and organizational variables.

OneSky Flight supports the technology needs of five established private jet brands: Flexjet, Sentient Jet, SkyJet, PrivateFly, and Sirio. One key function required by these businesses is fleet optimization. The ultimate goal for the OneSky Optimization project is to create a new optimizer that works across all of the OneSky brands.
