This paper presents visual analysis tools intended to aid researchers and policy makers by producing a visual representation of air traffic density and, by taking into account the required aircraft separation minima, the conflict probability. The tools support visualization of time-varying air traffic density over an area of interest using different time granularity. This visual analysis platfo...

This work aims to design photoelectrochemically rechargeable Zn-air batteries with improved energy and power density, energy efficiency and cycle life. Our plan is to solve the bottle-neck problem associated with air electrocatalysts by developing novel nanocarbon-inorganic hybrid materials for oxygen reduction and/or evolution with high efficiency and durability. Also, we are pursuing active a...

air pollution in industrial and urban areas is one of the most important problems of environment which endangers humans' health; an example of these pollutants is the suspended particles in the air that with the increase of 10 in the air, the rate of mortality increases by 1 to 3 precent. this study was done during three seasons by determining ten sampling stations in each season and according ...

This paper utilizes the wavelet packet transform to study the effects of decreasing the number of slots per pole per phase on the harmonic behavior of the working flux density in the air gap. A surface mounted PM motor is used as an example. The original design contains 6 PM poles and 36 stator slots with three phase winding embedded. The rotor is redesigned to have 4, 8, and 12 poles mounted o...

The rotor power losses in magnetic bearings are due to eddy currents, hysteresis, and windage. The influence of air gap magnetic flux density and air gap thickness is not well understood at this time. This paper presents measured results in two magnetic bearing radial configurations with a laminated rotor. The rotor power losses were evaluated by measuring the rundown speed of the rotor, in air...

multiple coupled circuit modeling of squirrel-cage induction motors, or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of the faulty induction motors. this paper extends the above-mentioned model to a saturable model including variable degrees of the saturation effects using an appropriate air gap function and novel techniques for lo...

The effect of charge on the rotational dynamics of the molecular probe coumarin 314 (C314) at air/water interfaces covered with the negatively charged surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was investigated using femtosecond time-resolved second harmonic spectroscopy. The out-of-plane orientational time constant at the highest SDS surface coverage of 100 A2 per molecule is 383 +/- 9 ps. The ro...

Stress and anxiety levels were measured in 10 air traffic control specialists (ATCS) at two low traffic-density towers in Fayetteville (FYV), Ar, and Roswell (ROW), NM, and in 24 flight service (FS) specialists at those airports and at Okalhoma City (OKC), Ok. Physiological measurements consisted of heart rate and urine biochemical analysis for 17-ketogenic steroids, epinephrine, and norepinep...

Routing is a critical issue in mobile ad hoc networks. The routing algorithm must take into account the specific properties of the network such as its topology, the mobility of the nodes and their number. In this paper, we present a simulation-based study of the performances of our innovative routing protocol named NoDe-TBR (Node Density TBR) that takes into account the actual node density dist...
