Crystal River Properties is a privately owned small business started in 2011 whose sole revenue stream relies upon rental income from company owned small multifamily (duplex and triplex) real property assets. In order for the business to expand, additional properties need to be acquired to increase revenue. Current real-estate market conditions make it financially impractical to purchase new construction properties. The most feasible alternative is to consider pre-existing properties which, if not done correctly, could expose the company to considerable financial risk. This project will research and identify methods to select prospective existing rental income properties with the greatest potential for maximum, sustainable net income based on operations and maintenance costs, marginal revenue, turnover rate and vacancy rates. The underlying objectives will used to best meet the expectations of the potential occupant segment of stakeholders. Assessment criteria will be based upon price (anticipated return on investment), location, size, age, type of construction, property condition (recent renovations), insurance and tax rates, lessons learned from past property procurements and risk analysis considerations. Consolidated results of gathered information and research will be packaged into a step-by-step user guide for income property acquisition. The guide will available in electronic PDF and hard copy format. The methodology depicted in the guide will enable a thorough evaluation of property selection alternatives against likely risks and key success criteria providing the tools necessary to acquire additional business assets in the most economical fashion while simultaneously exposing the company to the least amount of financial risk.Table of Contents

Synthesis and investigation of properties of barium titanate doped with ferromagnetic materials for use in spin field effect transistorsKulkarni, Kapildev (2004-05)The fundamental aspect of this research was to synthesize nano particles of certain materials and to investigate their properties related to potential use in spin-field effect transistor (Spin-FET). Barium titanate was doped with ferromagnetic material and nano particles of this material were synthesized using a sol-gel process. Sol-gels were characterized for their size and shape using an atomic force microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Composition of these compounds and the distribution of dopents were investigated using x-ray fluorescence and the scanning electron microscope. Dielectric properties were measured using high precision impedance, capacitance, and resistance (LCR) meter. Barium titanate, when doped with ferromagnetic materials, becomes ferroelectric material. Ferroelectric materials have finite polarization even in the absence of an applied electric field, which can be exploited for their use as source/drain in spin-FET. The sintering temperature and pH of the sol-gel solution play important roles in determining the dielectric constants, particle size and distribution of dopent in barium titanate. It was found that iron has advantage over nickel and cobalt as a dopent, as it has high electrical susceptibility.

Petrophysical property modeling of Umiat Field, a frozen oil reservoirLevi-Johnson, Obioma I.; Hanks, C. L.; Mongrain, J.; McCarthy, P. J.; Dandekar, A. (2010-08)Umiat field, a frozen oil reservoir, is situated in the folded and thrust-faulted Cretaceous sedimentary rocks at the leading edge of the Brooks Range foothills of northern Alaska. The main oil reservoirs are between 500-1400 feet deep and in permafrost. The main oil-producing zones in the Umiat field are the Grandstand shoreface sandstones. Statistical analyses of the porosity and permeability of the Upper and Lower sands indicate that the sands have distinct petrophysical characteristics. A plot of cumulative flow capacity versus cumulative storage capacity (i.e. Modified Lorenz Plot) defined the flow structures of the Upper and Lower sands in Umiat well # 9. The observed heterogeneities can be correlated with very fine-grained sediments observed in the conventional core of the interval. A petrophysical property model of Umiat field was built consistent with the existing data and geologic knowledge about the reservoir. This model will be used in the future to test various production strategies for Umiat field. Based on this model, the estimated oil in place is 1.2 billion stock tank barrels and the associated gas is 84 billion standard cubic feet.

Synthesis and characterization of mechanical properties of a novel bioceramic composite material for biological applicationsLadegard, Jillian; Zhang, Jing; Severin, Kenneth P.; Chen, Cheng-fu (2010-08)Bioceramics are used in a wide range of human skeletal repair and restoration applications as a synthetic bone substitute. 45S5 Bioglass, a bioactive ceramic, exhibits poor mechanical properties limiting the potential of the material and preventing its use in major load bearing applications. This investigation evaluated the synthesis and mechanical properties of a 45S5 Bioglass composite reinforced with different weight percentages of multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The material was analyzed using an X-Ray Diffractometer and a scanning electron microscope to determine the crystal structure, microstructural homogeneity, and surface texture of the composite material. The material was evaluated during the synthesis process to observe the evolution of the composite. Samples were sintered at 1000°C and 850°C to determine the effect of the sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of the composite. Once synthesized, the material was tested using the Vickers hardness indentation test to determine the mechanical properties of the ceramic, as defined by hardness and fracture toughness values. Hardness of the composite decreased with increasing nanotube concentration for all samples. A maximum fracture toughness value of 47.6 GPa·m¹/² corresponded to the addition of 1 weight percent multi-wall carbon nanotubes in the composite samples sintered at 1000°C. All of the composite samples sintered at 850°C reported lower fracture toughness values than the pure bioglass samples indicating that sintering temperature affects bonding between the composite components. These results prove that a Bioglass-multi-wall carbon nanotube composite has the potential for use as a synthetic material to restore function in load bearing bones
