The revised draft follows release of an original draft supplemental EIS in 1999 and a final proposed EIS in 2000. Environmental Defense and other conservation organizations submitted extensive comments on each of these documents dated June 24, 1999 and October 10, 2000. Included with these comments were extensive expert reports and supplemental documents. Except for the minor revisions to these...

Wave energy converters(WECs) integrated into floating breakwaters or, more generally, their designs also used as wave absorbers can provide a space- and cost-sharing solution to enhance the efficiency of coastal protection. In this study, hydrodynamic performances an oscillating buoy(OB)-type single-pontoon breakwater(SPFB) water column(OWC)-type dual-pontoon breakwaters(DPFB) are evaluated, re...

in the present study application of x-ray computed tomography as a nondestructive technique for estimation of some qualitative parameters of pomegranate fruit was studied. for this purpose, three local cultivars of pomegranate fruit of fars province, iran that included; rabab malas, rabab torsh and khani kazeroon were used. the x-ray ct images of pomegranate fruits were prepared using ct-scan d...

The aim of the present study was to determine reference values and predictive variables for respiratory impedance (Zrs) by the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in subjects aged>65 yrs. The investigation involved a prospective study of nonsmoking subjects, with normal forced expiratory volumes. The Zrs parameters, which included average resistance between 4-16 Hz (R4-16), average resistance be...

One main challenge of air distribution in classrooms is to guarantee ventilation performance under different usage conditions. In this study, the indoor climate summer and winter conditions with occupancy densities classroom presented. Thermal condition measurements a half-size were performed test room four suppliers: wall-grilles, ceiling diffusers, perforated duct displacement ventilation. Th...

This is a skeletal and opinionated description of paper writing. Take from it the good things, and disregard the bad things. 1 First Draft The hardest thing about writing a paper (in my experience) is getting a first draft written. In particular, if there are proofs, the hard part means getting some draft of a proof written down on paper, not necessarily with every detail included. It is not ne...
