Advanced engine study program

A design and analysis study was conducted to provide advanced engine descriptions and parametric data for space transfer vehicles. The study was based on an advanced oxygen/hydrogen engine in the 7,500 to 50,000 lbf thrust range. Emphasis was placed on defining requirements for high-performance engines capable of achieving reliable and versatile operation in a space environment. Four variations on the expander cycle were compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of each were assessed. Parametric weight, envelope, and performance data were generated over a range of 7,500 to 50,000 lb thrust and a wide range of chamber pressure and nozzle expansion ratio

Social Media

For this project I definitely had a lot of ideas floating around in my head but I struggled to get them down on paper. I think because I have a lot of opinions on this topic that criticize many of my peers, it made me want to say what was on my mind but I wanted to say it well. This was a great paper to write because social media is a topic that is so relatable to people my age. This made it so interesting to read articles and talk about social media usage. This paper really made me think about how people I know use social media and how I use it, and I realized that I don\u27t just want to be another profile

The Role of the Attorney in Estate Administration

Estate administration is the process by which the affairs of a decedent are settled. During the course of administration of an estate, property owned by a decedent is collected and inventoried, debts and taxes are paid, and property is distributed to those having a right to succeed to it. Controversy has surrounded estate administration in recent years. 2 Critics of the process have advised the public to avoid probate because of allegedly high fees and unreasonable delays in settling estates; 3 the legal community has responded with various reform proposals. 4 The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Bar Association (ABA) proposed a Uniform Probate Code (U.P.C.) which several states have adopted. 5 Unfortunately, the critics, reformers, and defenders of the estate administration process have had access to little empirical data to buttress their positions. This Article presents the findings of an empirical study of estate administration undertaken to fill that void.

The Demography of Probate Administration

This article is the second in a series of articles reporting the results of a multi-jurisdiction study of estate administration. Specifically, this article focuses on the frequency and types of administration proceedings utilized by decedents\u27 estates; the extent to which fluctuations in testacy rates among states are attributable to various state-specific advantages provided estates left by testate decedents and variables such as age and sex of decedent; and the size and composition of estates undergoing administration proceedings. The data that provide the basis for this article were gathered in 1976. The authors provide an organized presentation of data that will enable advocates and commentators to support their respective positions
