Inverse Transient Analysis (ITA) is a powerful approach for leak detection of pipelines. When the pipe transient flow is analyzed in frequency domain the ITA is called Inverse Frequency Response Analysis (IFRA). To implement an IFRA for leak detection, a transient state is initiated in the pipe by fast closure of the downstream end valve. Then, the pressure time history at the valve location is...

introduction: tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. the exact etiology of tinnitus is not fully understood, although some researchers believe that the condition usually starts in the cochlea. the aim of this study was to determine the potential contribution of outer hair cell dysfunction to chronic tinnitus, by application of distortion-product evoked otoacoustic emission (...

superconductor fault current limiter (sfcl) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. this paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  appropriate location and type of the limiters in a hv substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. study system is simulated by...

background: transient gene expression (tge) gained popularity over the last decade as a rapid method for the production of milligram to gram quantities of recombinant proteins for preclinical studies in biophama industry. thereby, the optimization of the tge technique for chinese hamster ovary (cho) as the dominant host for the production of biotherapeutics is of great interest to reach the val...

This paper concerns some stability properties of higher dimensional catenoids in Rn+1 with n ≥ 3. We prove that higher dimensional catenoids have index one. We use δ-stablity for minimal hypersurfaces and show that the catenoid is 2 n -stable and that a complete 2 n -stable minimal hypersurface is a catenoid or a hyperplane provided the second fundamental form satisfies some decay conditions.

The paper presents a brief historical overview of the field of the measurement of diffusion in zeolites. The focus will be on macroscopic measurements, i.e. when diffusion through entire crystals is studied. While this may appear to be a simple task, we will see that there are difficulties in obtaining reliable results. Two case studies, the volumetric/piezometric experiment and the Transient A...
