Whirling disease has spread rapidly throughout the United States the past 20 years, but predicting its impacts to trout populations has been problematic. Using a database that contained mark-recapture information for 384,938 trout during the years 1980-2007, a before-after control-impact study design was used to analyze data from infected river sections and non-infected reference sections on si...

We review recent computational results for hexagon patterns in nonBoussinesq convection. For sufficiently strong dependence of the fluid parameters on the temperature we find reentrance of steady hexagons, i.e. while near onset the hexagon patterns become unstable to rolls as usually, they become again stable in the strongly nonlinear regime. If the convection apparatus is rotated about a verti...

in this paper, exact solution for two-plane transverse vibration analysis of axial-loaded multi-step timoshenko rotor carrying concentrated masses is presented. each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertia. forward and backward frequencies and corresponding modes are obtained using transfer matrix method (tmm). the effect of the angular velocity of spin,...

Myxobolus cerebralis is a cnidarian-myxozoan parasite that causes salmonid whirling disease. M. cerebralis alternates between two hosts: (1) a vertebrate salmonid and (2) an invertebrate oligochaete, Tubifex tubifex. There is no successful treatment for salmonid whirling disease. MyxSP-1 is a M. cerebralis serine protease implicated in whirling disease pathogenesis. We hypothesized that short-i...

The paper deals with the electromagnetic forces in induction machines when the rotor is in cylindrical whirling motion, symmetric conical whirling motion or combination of them. These motions describe the eccentric movements of the rigid rotor in induction machines. The time stepping finite element analysis is used for solving the magnetic field, and the forces are calculated from the air gap b...

Genetic studies are recognized increasingly as important for understanding naturally occurring disease dynamics and are used to predict host genetic diversity and coevolutionary processes and to identify species composition in ecological communities. Tubifex tubifex, the definitive host of the whirling disease parasite Myxobolus cerebralis, comprises 6 known lineages that vary widely in parasit...

The major objectives of this paper are to clarify the influence of a whirling motion on the electrical characteristics of a rotating electric machine and to propose a method to control the whirling motion under mechanical resonance. First, it is shown that the hysteretic jump phenomena exist in the rotating speed and the power consumption of the motor due to the whirling motion around the natur...

A nite element based method has been developed for computing time-averaged uid-induced radial excitation forces and rotor dynamic forces on a two-dimensional centrifugal impeller rotating and whirling in a volute casing. In this method potential ow theory is used, which implies the assumption of irrotational inviscid ow. In comparison with other analyses of uid-induced impeller forces, two main...

The paper deals with the electromagnetic forces in induction machines when the rotor is performing eccentric motion with respect to the stator. The studied eccentric motions of the rigid cage rotor are cylindrical circular whirling motion, symmetric conical whirling motion and the combination of these two basic modes of eccentric motions. The multi-slice, time stepping finite element analysis i...
