Abstract. Via 11 years of high-frequency measurements, we calculated the probability space expected offshore wind-speed ramps, recasting it compactly in terms relevant load-driving quantities for horizontal-axis wind turbines. A statistical ensemble events reduced ramp-parameter (ramp acceleration, mean speed after ramp, upper-level shear) was created to capture variability ramp parameters and ...

We present an adaptive iterative learning based flow imputation algorithm, to estimate missing flow profiles in on ramps and off ramps using a freeway traffic flow model. We use the LinkNode Cell transmission model to describe the traffic state evolution in freeways, with on ramp demand profiles and off ramp split ratios (which are derived from flows) as inputs. The model based imputation algor...

Improvement in airport operations using optimization schemes has been an active research area in the recent years. Particular attention has been given to improve taxiway and runway queue operations. However, once these operations are improved by an efficient taxiway schedule, its execution relies on the planning of ramp-area aircraft movements. An important step in the integration of the taxiwa...

To control the traffic flows near on-ramps and off-ramps, ramp metering installations can be used. We compare on-ramp metering and off-ramp metering, with respect to queue forming and total time spent. Both control measures are used to improve traffic flow on freeways, and both have influence on the route choice of the drivers. Although the two measures are very similar, there are some major di...

objective: the asmari formation is characterised by alternation thick carbonate and marl sequence of the oligocene- miocene in the zagros basin, southwest of iran that were deposited on the shelf of eastern paratethys. methods: this formation is exposed at tang-e-khoshk in the fars subcoastal zone with a thickness of 286 m comprising alternation of medium and thick to massive bedded carbonates,...

Exposure to underwater sound can cause permanent hearing loss and other physiological effects in marine animals. To reduce this risk, naval sonars are sometimes gradually increased in intensity at the start of transmission ('ramp-up'). Here, we conducted experiments in which tagged humpback whales were approached with a ship to test whether a sonar operation preceded by ramp-up reduced three ri...
