Knowledge of the subsurface properties driving subsidence is of key importance in conducting geophysical surveys such as self-potential, magneto telluric, and reflection seismic, as this can help defining the areas with downward water flow, collapsed features at depth, or overburden affected regions. However, accurate and affordable subsurface information is difficult to obtain with currently a...

We have previously predicted multiplicities and transverse momentum spectra for the most central LHC Pb+Pb collisions at √ s N N = 5.5 TeV using pQCD + saturation + hydro (EKRT model) [1, 2]. We now extend these calculations for non-central collisions and predict low-p T elliptic flow. Our model is in good agreement with RHIC data for central collisions, and we show that our extension of the mo...

Floating ice shelves can exert a retentive and hence stabilizing force onto the inland ice sheet of Antarctica. However, this effect has been observed to diminish by the dynamic effects of fracture processes within the protective ice shelves, leading to accelerated ice flow and hence to a sealevel contribution. In order to account for the macroscopic effect of fracture processes on large-scale ...

Appropriate modeling of components and related controllers are very significant in studying dynamic performance of power systems. In this paper, an educational procedure for modeling, simulation, and governor tuning of hydro power plants is presented. Different existing dynamic models of hydro plant components are reviewed. The procedure for calculating the required parameters from real plant d...

the mikkes basin is located at the north center of morocco. it comprises three different zones which represent diversified geologies which shelter a phreatic and confined aquifer in the sais basin and a shallow aquifer in the tabular middle atlas. the springs in the sais phreatic aquifer have suffered a maximum depletion. the springs with a deep or mixed origin are known as low flow variation s...

We describe the detection characteristics of a device the Resonant Coil Magnetometer (RCM) to quantify paramagnetic particles (PMPs) in immunochromatographic (lateral flow) assays. Lateral flow assays were developed using PMPs for the measurement of total prostate specific antigen (PSA) in serum samples. A detection limit of 0.8 ng/mL was achieved for total PSA using the RCM and is at clinicall...

Mathematical models for the electricity portfolio management of a utility that owns a hydro-thermal generation system and trades on the power market often lead to complex stochastic optimization problems. We present a new approach to solving stochastic hydro-storage subproblems that occur when stochastic Lagrangian relaxation is applied to solving such models. The special structure of such hydr...

Iron-peroxide intermediates are central in the reaction cycle of many iron-containing biomolecules. We trapped iron(III)-(hydro)peroxo species in crystals of superoxide reductase (SOR), a nonheme mononuclear iron enzyme that scavenges superoxide radicals. X-ray diffraction data at 1.95 angstrom resolution and Raman spectra recorded in crystallo revealed iron-(hydro)peroxo intermediates with the...

Micro-hydro-electric power is both an efficient and reliable formof clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from small rivers and streams. The micro-hydro project designed to be a run -of-river type, because it requires very little or no reservoir in order to power the turbine. The water will run straight through the turbine and back into t...
