Like many other species of diadromous fish, the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is threatened by entrainment at hydropower intakes and resultant injury mortality during passage through turbines. Historically, physical screens have been installed to prevent access but these are not wholly effective can incur high costs construction maintenance, especially when regulations require screen retrofi...

In modern power system, the switching devices are generally used in combination with unbalanced reactive loads which produces current related Power Quality (PQ) problems by making source currents distorted and unbalanced. Usually a STATCOM is installed to support electricity networks that have a poor power factor and often poor voltage regulation. A Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) op...

The two species, scission/reforming Vasquez-Cook-McKinley (VCM) model was formulated to describe the coupling between the viscoelastic fluid rheology and the kinetics of wormlike micellar assembly and deformation-induced rupture. The model self-consistently captures the nonlocal effects of stress-induced diffusion and has been studied in various limits for a number of canonical flow fields incl...

This paper presents a novel networking architecture designed for communication intensive parallel applications running on clusters of workstations (COWs) connected by high speed networks. This architecture permits (1) the transfer of selected communication-related functionality from the host machine to the network interface coprocessor, and (2) the exposure of this functionality directly to app...

Hard disk drives (HDDs) used for data servers are exposed to various vibrations. These vibrations mainly caused by the cooling fan that controls temperature inside server. The vibration affects positioning accuracy of magnetic heads read/write digital data. This is an obstacle obtaining high transfer rates. To compensate vibration, control system must have higher frequency bandwidth as spectra ...

Despite acute inflammation by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) during vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), clearance of Candida fails to occur. The purpose of this study was to uncover the mechanism of vaginal PMN dysfunction. Designs included assessing PMN migration, proinflammatory mediators, and tissue damage (by analysis of the activity of lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) in mice susceptible (C3...

Abstract The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is an X-ray science facility at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. LCLS-II project (an upgrade to LCLS) in its final stages, and the LCLS-II-HE (High Energy) another enabling higher energy operation. An electron beam accelerated using superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities built into cryomodules. It planned build twenty-five modules tot...

Zanetti, V, Carling, C, Aoki, MS, Bradley, PS, and Moreira, A. Are there differences in elite youth soccer player work rate profiles congested vs. regular match schedules? J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 473–480, 2021—Official international tournaments which players participate can involve very schedules. Yet, no information regarding physical technical performance during (noncongested) cycles is av...

This paper presents the architecture of a DVB-S2 receiver prototyping environment that is based on software defined radio techniques. DVB-S2 comprises the newest European standard for broadband satellite communications. The software defined radio approach enables the adaptation of the receiver to different operational modes e.g. CCM, VCM, ACM, and the support of multiple services. The prototypi...
