Carbon dioxide capture is a key issue in climate change mitigation. For decades the removal of carbon dioxide has been an essential step in many industrial processing operations such as the synthesis of ammonia, natural gas purification, and oil refining. In this study, a rotating packed bed has been designed for absorption of carbon dioxide from an air stream. The rotating packed bed is a comp...

This study investigates the relation between walking speed and the distribution of peak plantar pressure and compares a traditional ten-region subsampling (10RS) technique with a new technique: pedobarographic statistical parametric mapping (pSPM). Adapted from cerebral fMRI methodology, pSPM is a digital image processing technique that registers foot pressure images such that homologous struct...

A new approach to flow control in high speed communication networks is proposed where the flow control problem is modeled as a dynamic system with time delay. The m&ain advantage is that it can I assure stability of system as well as maintaining certain throughput of the cammunication chann,tA. Inside the controller, there is a term which predicts the future backlogs in the system. The controll...

A new approach to ow control in high speed communication network is proposed where the problem of ow control within a virtual circuit is modeled as a dynamic system with time delays and disturbances. In the proposed ow controller design, we apply: (1) a modiied Smith predictor to predict the backlog in each channel along a virtual circuit; (2) fuzzy CMAC neural networks to predict the time-vary...

An experimental study of simultaneous multi-point measurements in the flow and acoustic fields of a Mach 1.75 cold air jet is presented. A series of four optical deflectometer (OD) probes were used for the flow field measurements, and eight microphones arranged on a circular arc recorded the far-field pressure in the direction of peak emission. In addition, some of the OD probes were positioned...
