Nonuniform Sediment Transport Modeling at Grays Harbor

A depth-averaged two-dimensional nonuniform sediment transport model is applied to the beaches adjacent to Grays Harbor, WA, USA to test the model skill in predicting nearshore morphology change. The model considers bed material hiding, exposure, sorting, stratification, bed-slope effects, avalanching, non-erodible bed surfaces, and transport due to asymmetrical waves, Stokes drift, roller and ...

Many real-world planning problems require generating plans that maximize the parallelism inherent in a problem. There are a number of partial-order planners that generate such plans; however, in most of these planners it is unclear under what conditions the resulting plans will be correct and whether the planner can even nd a plan if one exists. This paper identiies the underlying assumptions a...

Surface Finish

Q.1. What factors govern the selection of a particular cleaning process for metallic surfaces Ans. Selection of cleaning process is mainly influenced by (a) Type of contaminants (b) Degree of cleanliness required (c) Composition of metal (d) Condition of metal (e) Thickness of rust and scale (f) Allowable metal loss (g) Surface finish tolerances (h) Shape and size of workpieces (i) Production r...

In this paper, we present a novel technique for modeling, checking, and enforcing temporal constraints in workkow processes containing conditionally executed activities. Existing workkow time model-ing proposals either do not discriminate between time constraints that apply to disparate execution paths, or they treat every execution path independently. Consequently, superruous time constraint v...
