the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of nozzle configurations on spray drift and explain the influences using several atomization characteristics (length of spray sheet, spray angle, velocity distribution of flow field, fluctuation of velocity, and droplet size). nozzles manufactured by one company (lechler gmbh, germany) were tested by spraying local tap water in a win...

Coherent drift modes and drift wave turbulence is studied in a collisionality dominated high-density helicon plasma. The drift wave instability is identified by comparison of the drift mode density fluctuations characteristics with a linear dispersion relation, which reproduces the experimentally observed bent eigenmode structures due to radial gradients of the collisionality profile. Special a...

Needham (1928) first noted the ‘drift’ of aquatic insects when examining the importance of terrestrial insects as trout food. When using a fine copper wire-meshed net to collect benthos in streams near Ithaca, NY he discovered large numbers of aquatic insects present his samples. Drift attracted more attention from researchers in the 1950’s after Muller quantified drift and compared drift with ...

The apparent angular size of the shadow a black hole in an expanding Universe is redshift-dependent. Since cosmological redshifts change with time - known as redshift drift all redshift-dependent quantities acquire time-dependence, and fortiori so do shadows. We find mathematical description show that amplitude this effect order $10^{-16}$ per day for M87$^{\star}$. While small, we argue its no...

The majority of Iran’s area is covered by arid and semiarid climates. In these areas, wind causes more erosion compared to water. Therefore, determination of wind characteristics especially its velocity is very important. One of the simplest methods that can supply researchers with the origin of wind erosion in the shortest time is synthesizing sand rose model and interpretation of aerial photo...

Traditional approaches to data mining are based on an assumption that the process that generated or is generating a data stream is static. Although this assumption holds for many applications, it does not hold for many others. Consider systems that build models for identifying important e-mail. Through interaction with and feedback from a user, such a system might determine that particular e-ma...

What is genetic drift? Say you have a population of 5,000 people. That makes 10,000 copies of each gene. Imagine a gene where 3,000 of those copies are of one particular allele or type. In the next generation, there won’t necessarily be exactly 3,000 copies again. There may be 3,050 or 2,960 copies instead. Some gametes get randomly picked out of all the possible gametes that could have been us...

A study of the generation of zonal flows and zonal magnetic fields by finite beta drift waves and kinetic drift-Alfvén waves is presented. The analysis is a generalization of recent investigations of the modulational instability for zonal flow generation by electrostatic drift waves to finite beta drift waves and kinetic drift-Alfvén waves. The drift wave driven unstable zonal flows/fields are ...
