The DOCS is a collection of articles, administration manuals and clinical scoring form. This collection is available for clinicians and researchers to use with patients who are recovering consciousness. This collection includes the manual and rating forms(s) from the DOCS-23 and the updated version, the DOCS-25.
The E-Science Working group designed a survey in 2013 to investigate how researchers at Northwestern University manage data and to help determine researchers’ needs or requirements for data storage, preservation and sharing.
The 21 question survey looked at several areas involving data and data management, including the types and size...
Acoustic emission (AE) testing was used to identify the source of audible “bangs” generated during opening and closing of a large, double-leaf rolling-lift bascule bridge. The data were analyzed using a combination of well-established AE
techniques, including first hit analysis (FHA), planar location analysis, and linear location analysis. The FHA...
This report includes the findings of acoustic emission (AE) tests on the Fremont tied arch bridge in Portland Oregon conducted by research engineers from the Infrastructure Technology Institute of Northwestern University on March 24th, 1997.
This technical report shows the findings of acoustic emission and strain gage monitoring tests conducted by research engineers of Infrastructure Technology Institute from Northwestern University on April 18, 1997 in Sacramento, California.
Current bridge condition determination is based almost entirely on the use of visual inspection. This approach to bridge inspection provides data that is subjective and not traceable. Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is a tool that in actuality is little used on bridges, but could eliminate much of the subjectivity of the...
A remote global monitoring system is being operated on a 65 year old lift bridge in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin. The system uses both strain gages and clinometers to continuously monitor the "health" of the fracture critical components of the bridge. Ruggedized miniaturized data loggers are locally mounted on the structure...
This report shows the results of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, and provides additional information on the nature of the ultrasonic indications in the north east trunnion shaft.
Despite a relatively mature technology for its control, corrosion caused by stray current from electrified rapid-transit systems costs the United States approximately $500 million annually. Part of that cost is the result of corrosion of the electrified rapid-transit system itself, and part is the result of corrosion on neighboring infrastructure...
The purpose of this comparative field qualification is to demonstrate the new Kelunji EchoPro
hybrid ACSM system and its performance relative to the eDAQ and eko Motes systems. These three
systems are installed at a test site in Sycamore, IL, adjacent to an active quarry. Data for this report was...
