The arrangement of natural and physical features on the earth’s surface are a few among countless items that govern airborne acoustic transmission at boundary layers. In particular, if waves attributes live concerts open-air theatres, without losing sheen quality, audience should certainly receive unbroken depth performance. Hence, all times, it is advisable to analyse auditory receptiveness, p...

a model capable of predicting the minimum content of aflatoxin m1 (afm1) in iranian while brine cheese has been developed using a chemometric approach to determine the optimum processing conditions. renneting temperature, cut size, stirring time, press time, curd size and saturated brine ph were all regarded as process variables. three-dimensional response surface and contour plots were drawn. ...

Power distribution systems are experiencing higher load levels, unbalanced distributed generation, a wealth of load diversity, and more uncorrelated events than ever before. To provide quantitative information regarding the changes, this paper contrasts the electrical state of the largest Smart Grid residential community in Austin, Texas before and after the proliferation of its PVs and EVs. Th...

This paper deals with modeling of plasma cutting process using artificial neural network (ANN). The objective was to develop an ANN model in order to predict the ten-point height of irregularities (Rz) in terms of three input parameters, cutting current, plate thickness and cutting speed. To this aim, a feed-forward backpropagation ANN was developed and trained using the experimental data. Afte...

The influence of 0-27 g/100g of full-fat soy flour (FFSF), 31-35g/100g of water content and extrusion conditions on the textural characteristics of spaghetti were evaluated. Process was performed with screw speed of 10-40 rpm and water circulating temperature of 35-70. This enrichment resulted in significant differences in mechanical strength and cutting parameter. Based on the mixture surface ...

Abstract An efficient technique to visualize primary and secondary results for combined FEM/BEM models as contours is presented. The technique is based on dividing higher-order surfaces into triangles and on using texture interpolation to produce contour plots. Since results of high accuracy with significant gradients can be obtained using sparse meshes of boundary elements and finite elements,...

The wave concept of group (or energy) velocity is used to predict how errors propagate in three numerical schemes for the solution of the diffusion equation with flow and decay. A five-point filter is used to isolate the long and the saw-tooth gridscale errors. Contour plots are presented which illustrate the markedly different propagation of the long and saw-tooth errors. The energy of long er...

This paper intends to provide an overview of a statistical technique to assess a safety intervention program from a business perspective. A mathematical model is developed for predicting incident rates. The developed model could be used to better predict the allocation and optimization of resources which in turn minimizes the cost of incident prevention. The safety model is obtained using analy...

The fuel optimality of third-body driven plane changes (i.e., plane changes performed by using third-body forces) over one-impulse transfers is investigated numerically and analytically. In particular, the range of third-body driven plane changes that are realizable is shown to be restricted and one impulse must be used in the uncovered regions. However, when third-body driven plane changes are...

An acoustic technique for measuring inhomogeneous stress fields in externally loaded solids is described. This method requires a measurement of transit time of a longitudinal acoustic wave through a stressed thin metal specimen using a small diameter water-coupled acoustic transducer. The transducer is mechanically scanned over the surface of the sample by a computer controlled system to take s...
