This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...

We study the low-temperature transport properties of Bi2Se3 thin films grown by magnetron sputtering. A positive magnetoresistance resulting from the weak antilocalization (WAL) effect is observed at low temperatures. The observed WAL effect is two dimensional in nature. Applying the Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka theory, we have obtained the dephasing length. It is found that the temperature dependence...

In this paper a novel method for computing the radiation pattern and also the input impedance of a planar rectangular micro-strip antenna array with consideration of mutual coupling and mutual impedance is presented. Each two triangles with a common edge make an Edge element or RWG. Any such edge element is considered as an infinitesimal dipole. The electrical currents over each dipole can be c...

We propose and investigate a novel method for the controlled coupling of two Josephson charge qubits by means of a variable electrostatic transformer. The value of the coupling capacitance is given by the discretized curvature of the lowest energy band of a Josephson junction, which can be positive, negative, or zero. We calculate the charging diagram of the two-qubit system that reflects the t...

in this research, the effect of wood species and particle size on mechanicalproperties of wood plastic composites (wpc) made of fir (abies alba) and beech(fagus orientalis l.) sawdust and high density polyethylene (hdpe) wereinvestigated. wood plastic composite (wpc) were made with 30% hdpe in abatch process at 185˚c, at two particle sizes of 40 mesh and 80 mesh. maleicanhydride polypropylene (...

Exchange coupling across the cyanide bridge in a series of novel cyanometalate complexes with CuII-NC-MIII (M = Cr and low-spin Mn, Fe) fragments has been studied using the broken-symmetry DFT approach and an empirical model, which allows us to relate the exchange coupling constant with sigma-, pi-, and pi*-type spin densities of the CN- bridging ligand. Ferromagnetic exchange is found to be do...

The NMR spin-spin coupling constants (SSCCs) across the H-bond in proteins are sensitive to the electronic structure of the H-bonded system, i.e., the N-H‚‚‚OdC group in proteins. The spin-spin coupling mechanism across the H-bond involves a strong electric field effect, steric exchange interactions, and some weak covalent effects (transfer of electronic charge). The electric field effect is re...

Since male primates are bigger and stronger than females, they are by default considered dominant. When in a cohesively grouping ape (but not in its loosely grouping relative), females often appear dominant to males, the static image of female weakness is maintained and female dominance is attributed to high, species-specific co-operation among several females against single males. In this pape...
