Determination of dynamic forces affecting floating structure in pump station water supply channel

Multiobjective Genetic Algorithms for Pump Scheduling in Water Supply

Seeking cost reduction and energy savings in water supply by improving the operation of pumps is both an obvious as well as a very efficient possibility to consider. Without making changes to the basic elements of a water supply system, remarkable reductions in operation costs can be achieved by optimising the pump scheduling (PS) problem. The UK Water Research Centre (WRC) [1985] estimates the...

the role of thematic structure in comprehending spoken language

in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...

Pump Station Monitoring System

Early determination of toxicant concentration in water supply using MHE.

In this paper, a novel application of state estimation in environmental engineering is presented. The objective is to use on-line estimation techniques including moving horizon estimator (MHE) and extended Kalman filer (EKF) for an early concentration estimation of toxic agent presented in water supply. These estimation techniques (MHE and EKF) can be integrated in an early warning system of se...

Modeling floating supply chains

Manufacturers are establishing smaller supplier network for enhanced cooperation, developmental efficiency and specialization. However, it limits manufacturing flexibility manifested by supplier capacity, disruptive events and customer attitudes. Methodology for modeling flexible assembler-suppliers relationships to manage supply chains in emerging markets is described. Supplier database, decis...
