Granular flow in a rotating drum is studied by experiments and by Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The particulate phase is modelled based on the Continuum Eulerian Approach (CEA) in the simulation. The particulate phase CEA prediction using the common Gidaspow granular kinetic viscosity or the Syamlal-O’brien granular kinetic viscosity fails to predict the measured dynamic angle o...

This paper will describe the design and implementation of PadMaster, a real-time improvisation environment running under the NextStep operating system. The system currently uses the Mathews/Boie Radio Drum as a three dimensional controller for interaction with the performer. PadMaster splits the surface of the drum into virtual programmable pads which can be grouped into scenes so that the beha...

A soft-sphere discrete particle model was used to simulate mixing behavior of solid substrate particles in a slow rotating drum for solid-state fermentation. In this approach, forces acting on and subsequent motion of individual particles can be predicted. The (2D) simulations are qualitatively and quantitatively validated by mixing experiments using video and image analysis techniques. It was ...

We examined the patterns of habitat-specific mortality for newly settled red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) using an experimental mesocosm approach. Experiments were designed to analyze prey vulnerability and fish rearing-type (wild-caught or hatchery-reared) in estuarine habitats of varying structural complexity including marsh (Spartina alterniflora Loisel), oyster reef (Crassostrea virginica Gme...

Closed field” magnetron (CFM) sputtering offers a flexible and high throughput deposition process for optical coatings and thin films required in display technologies. CFM sputtering uses two or more different metal targets to deposit multilayers comprising a wide range of dielectrics, metals and conductive oxides. Moreover, CFM provides a room temperature deposition process with high ion curre...

The present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of Liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers Babolroud, Tajan and Gorganroud. Accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using Graphite Furnace Atomic Abso...

To compare energy expenditure during and after active and handheld video game drumming compared to walking and sitting. Ten experienced, college-aged men performed four protocols (one per week): no-exercise seated control (CTRL), virtual drumming on a handheld gaming device (HANDHELD), active drumming on drum pads (DRUM), and walking on a treadmill at ~30% of VO2max (WALK). Protocols were perfo...

x Today I know that everything watches, that nothing goes unseen, and that even wallpaper has a better memory than ours. It isn't God in His heaven that sees all. A kitchen chair, a coat-hanger a half-filled ash tray, or the wood replica of a woman name Niobe, can perfectly well serve as an unforgetting witness to every one of our acts. – The tin drum, Gunter Grass 14.1 Hierarchical Representat...
