Potholes Ahead: Impact of Transient Link Blockage on Beam Steering in Practical mm-Wave Systems

The practical realization of beam steering mechanisms in millimeter wave communications has a large impact on performance. The key challenge is to find a pragmatic trade-off between throughput performance and the overhead of periodic beam sweeping required to improve link quality in case of transient link blockage. This is particularly critical in commercial off-the-shelf devices, which require...

Monitoring for Transient Pressures in Pipelines

A change in the flow rate in a full pipeline will cause a change in the pressure within that pipeline. These changes are given careful attention in the well-designed pipeline; however, in the past it has been difficult to accurately measure these transient pressures after the pipeline is constructed and placed in service. Transient pressures exceeding the structural strength of the pipeline wil...

Draft manuscripts: Authors may post the final drafts of their work on open, unrestricted Internet sites or deposit it in an institutional repository when the draft contains a URL/link to the bibliographic record of the published version in the ASCE Library or Civil Engineering Database. ”Final draft” means the version submitted to ASCE after peer review and prior to copyediting or other ASCE pr...

Pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE).

Pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) has become a popular green extraction method for different classes of compounds present in numerous kinds of matrices such as environmental, food and botanical samples. PHWE is also used in sample preparation to extract organic contaminants from foodstuff for food safety analysis and soils/sediments for environmental monitoring purposes. The main paramete...
