In cooperative communication systems, different terminals collaborate to form a virtual-multiple antenna array system and exploit the spatial diversity to achieve a better performance. It can be generally categorized into amplify-andforward protocol and decode and-forward protocol. Among the various cooperative communication protocols which have been proposed in the past decades, the slotted co...

This report contains the Proceedings of the joint CARE-HHH-APD, CARE ELAN, and EUROTEV-WP3 Mini-Workshop on ‘Electron Cloud Clearing Electron Cloud and Technological Consequences’, “ECL2”, held at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, 1-2 March 2007). The ECL2 workshop explored novel technological remedies against electron-cloud formation in an accelerator beam pipe. A primary motivation for the worksho...

The cyclic loading performance of bamboo double-jointed components different column base connection types was investigated through reversed tests and finite element analysis. Test results indicated that the connections played an important role in failure modes engineered columns: for encased steel plate connection, main mode tensile fracture scrimber section at bottom cladding plate; a slotted-...

This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting torque will decrease. To improve starting torque, rotor slots are coated with HTS materials. Using HTS material vary the rotor resistance to great extends in starting step and t...

This paper addresses an experimental investigation in the hydrodynamic behavior of a modified slotted sieve tray. Slotted sieve tray (Push valve sieve tray) is a sieve tray that the push valves have been utilized on the tray deck to eliminate liquid gradients and non-uniformity of liquid distribution on the tray. The air-water system was used in an industrial scale experimental rig with an inte...

Steel pallet rack (SPR) beam-to-column connections (BCCs) are largely responsible to avoid the sway failure of frames in the down-aisle direction. The overall geometry of beam end connectors commercially used in SPR BCCs is different and does not allow a generalized analytic approach for all types of beam end connectors; however, identifying the effects of the configuration, profile and sizes o...
