On frequency-dependent damping coefficients in lumped-parameter models of human beings

Assessment of nitrate contamination of groundwater using lumped-parameter models

In this paper, lumped-parameter models (LPMs) were developed and utilized to simulate nitrate concentration in the groundwater of Gaza City and Jabalia Camp (GCJC) in the Gaza Coastal Aquifer (GCA) in Palestine. In the GCJC area, nitrate levels exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L NO3-N (45 mg/L NO3) in many wells. Elevated nitrate concentrations in the groundwater of GCJC area...

J5.4 Use of Weather Radar with Lumped Parameter Hydrologic Models

Lumped parameter hydrologic models are frequently used for operational streamflow forecasting in the United States. With the deployment of the Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR88D), many hydrologists will use radar-rainfall data as input to these models. WSR-88D precipitation products can be used in a variety of ways (Shedd and Fulton, 1993; Lindsey, 1993). In this paper, we examine ...

Speaker Dependent Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients

This paper aims at speaker recognition based upon a novel set of features. Feature extraction is a crucial phase of the speaker recognition process and a proper feature set can influence it dramatically. Many well-known features are not suitable for the speaker recognition as those merge the specifics of the individual voices to make them universal. Therefore, we need features accentuating the ...

On cloning human beings.

The purpose of this paper is to show that arguments for and against cloning fail to make their case because of one or both of the following reasons: 1) they take for granted customary beliefs and assumptions that are far from being unquestionable; 2) they tend to ignore the context in which human cloning is developed. I will analyze some of the assumptions underlying the main arguments that hav...
