abstract background: the pressure of consumption spots in eater supply systems is one of the most important hydraulic parameters can be used in optimized management of water distribution networks. since the pressure has some different effects on various parameters of the network management including its hydraulic functions, reliability, stability and leakage, its control is of great importance ...

Air-bearing-based spacecraft simulators are widely used to develop and verify spacecraft control techniques required by modern spacecraft applications. To create a spacelike environment with ground spacecraft simulators, the effects of gravity should be minimized. For a spherical air-bearing system with 3 rotational degrees of freedom, the center of rotation of the spacecraft simulator should b...

Most of the existing concrete dams are subjected to cracking. These cracks are caused by various factors such as construction practices, curing, loads and volume change of mass concrete which reduce the efficiency, failure or instability of concrete dams. Using fracture mechanics as a new method to estimate stability and durability of concrete dams is recommended in scientific publications in w...

Covert brain activity related to task-free, spontaneous (i.e. unrequested), emotional evaluation of human face images was analysed in 27-channel averaged event-related potential (ERP) map series recorded from 18 healthy subjects while observing random sequences of face images without further instructions. After recording, subjects self-rated each face image on a scale from "liked" to "disliked"...

In this article, the entire energy embodied in a sewage system has been estimated. The concepts of LCC, LCA and EE have taken into consideration. estimation is calculated from moment extracting raw materials, through its transportation, to making final product. choice materials production technology an important aspect here. This article considers construction procedure gravity gravity-pump sys...
