Design of primary settling tank has historically been done more empirically than rationally. The main reason for this is a lack of understanding of what pollutants primary settling tank are capable of removing. Inlets should be designed to dissipate the kinetic energy or velocity head of the mixed liquor. They should be able to distribute the flow equally in vertical and horizontal directions. ...

This study deals with one of frequently encountered tasks in process industry – accurate water level control. Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control is often used for this purpose. Since control parameters of PID controller are fixed and tank system is inherently nonlinear, PID controller should not be used on wider level range. Therefore this study analyzes the effectiveness of water l...

The signaling of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is the host's first line of defense against microbial invasion. The mitochondrion is emerging as a critical platform for antiviral signal transduction. The regulatory role of mitochondria for TLR signaling remains to be explored. Here, we show that the mitochondrial outer-membrane protein MARCH5 positively regulates TLR7 signaling. Ectopic expression ...

In china, atmospheric storage tanks are not included in the management of special equipment, and therefore they are not required to be inspected compulsorily. There is larger difference between China and developed countries on atmospheric storage tank inspection technique than the other techniques on the inspection of pressure vessels. It is widely believed that the strength worsening and perfo...

In this paper, I describe the application of genetic programming to evolve a controller for a robotic tank in a simulated environment. The purpose is to explore how genetic techniques can best be applied to produce controllers based on subsumption and behavior oriented languages such as REX. As part of my implementation, I developed TableRex, a modification of REX that can be expressed on a fix...

we prove the existence of steady 2-dimensional flows, containing a bounded vortex, and approaching a uniform flow at infinity. the data prescribed is the rearrangement class of the vorticity field. the corresponding stream function satisfies a semilinear elliptic partial differential equation. the result is proved by maximizing the kinetic energy over all flows whose vorticity fields are rearra...

in this paper‎, ‎we prove a multiplicity result for some biharmonic elliptic equation of kirchhoff type and involving nonlinearities with critical exponential growth at infinity‎. ‎using some variational arguments and exploiting the symmetries of the problem‎, ‎we establish a multiplicity result giving two nontrivial solutions‎.

Stange, generalizingWard’s elliptic divisibility sequences, introduced elliptic nets, and showed an equivalence between elliptic nets and elliptic curves. This note relates Stange’s recursion for elliptic nets and the Coxeter group F4.
