Given a family of discrete shocks φ of a monotone scheme, we prove that the discrete shock profile with rational shock speed η is asymptotically stable with respect to the l1 topology ‖ · ‖1: if u0 − φ ∈ l1, then ‖un − φ·−nη‖1 → 0 as n → ∞ under no restriction conditions of the initial data to the interval [inf φ, supφ]. The asymptotic wave profile is uniquely identified from the above family b...

UNLABELLED PCMA (profile consistency multiple sequence alignment) is a progressive multiple sequence alignment program that combines two different alignment strategies. Highly similar sequences are aligned in a fast way as in ClustalW, forming pre-aligned groups. The T-Coffee strategy is applied to align the relatively divergent groups based on profile-profile comparison and consistency. The sc...

Variable speed operation of wind turbines presents certain advantages over constant speed operation. Basically, variable speed wind turbines use the high inertia of the rotating mechanical parts of the system as a flywheel; this helps to smooth power fluctuations and reduces the drive train mechanical stress. Also, variable speed systems could lead to maximise the capture of energy during parti...

The amplitude of an EMG and the temporal pattern can be used when considering if an EMG profile is normal or not. In the method described in this paper a gain factor of the complete EMG profile was determined and then the profile normalised with this gain factor. This normalised individual profile was then compared with a standard profile, predicted on the basis of walking speed. Deviating prof...

Wind energy has become a main challenge of conventional relic fuel energy, chiefly with the flourishing operation of multi-megawatt sized wind turbines. Though, wind with sensible speed is not sufficiently sustainable all over to construct an inexpensive wind farm. The probable site has to be systematically investigated at least with respect to wind speed profile and air density. Modelling and ...

Assume a single reaction-diffusion equation has zero as an asymptotically stable stationary point. Then we prove that there exist no localized travelling waves with non-zero speed. That is, if [lim inf |x|→∞ u(x), lim sup|x|→∞ u(x)] is included in an open interval of zero that does not include other stationary points, then the speed has to be zero or the travelling profile u has to be identical...

This paper describes methodology to calculate required motor power rating for elevator and lift application. Switched reluctance motor an excellent candidate for traction applications contributes more in low speed-high torque application. Quality of lift is analyzed by its smoothness, without any jurg. Torque production in motor during acceleration and deceleration decides Smoothness of lift. I...

A high-speed three-wave polarimeter-interferometer diagnostic has been developed on the Madison symmetric torus reversed field pinch to provide simultaneous measurement of electron density and poloidal magnetic field profile evolution. With increased digitizer bandwidth, polarimetry noise due to aliasing and cross-talk is minimized, and time response improved. System performance is demonstrated...
