The transport worthiness of suspension springs and discharge lo0p in hermetic compressors under impact conditions has been analysed by analytical and computational simulation. The equations represent static behaviour to consider the maximum stresses arising from the impact loads. The problem is divided into two parts. The discharge loop is analysed by linear one-dimensional finite elements in 3...

Pollutants discharged from stormwater pipes can cause water quality and ecosystem problems in coastal bayous. A study was conducted to characterize sediment and nutrients discharged by small and large (< 20 cm and >20 cm in internal diameters, respectively) pipes under different rainfall intensities (< 2.54 cm and > 2.54 cm, respectively). Results showed that large pipes had greater discharge t...

It is essential to understand sediment and nutrient sources and their spatial and temporal patterns to design effective mitigation strategies. However, long-term data sets to determine sediment and nutrient loadings are scarce and expensive to collect. The goal of this study was to determine seasonal patterns of suspended sediment (SS), total N (TN), and total P (TP) concentrations and loadings...

Cyanobacterial blooms in western Lake Erie have recently garnered widespread attention. Current evidence indicates that a major source of the nutrients that fuel these blooms is the Maumee River. We applied a seasonal trend decomposition technique to examine long-term and seasonal changes in Maumee River discharge and nutrient concentrations and loads. Our results indicate similar long-term inc...

amir kabir dam was built in varian strait, at 23 km north of karaj in 1961. the dam is multipurpose and its maim aims are the spring floods control, supplying potable water for tehran city, producing electricity and providing irrigation water. different pollutants which discharge to the river finally enter to the dam reservoir. determining the pollution loads of the dam sub-catchments can help ...

For estimating suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in rivers, turbidity is generally a much better predictor than water discharge. Although it is now possible to collect continuous turbidity data even at remote sites, sediment sampling and load estimation are still conventionally based on discharge. With frequent calibration the relation of turbidity to SSC could be used to estimate suspende...

Shoulder joint-related motor cortex cells show continuously graded changes in activity, centered on a preferred movement direction, during active arm movements in 8 directions away from a central starting position (Georgopoulos et al., 1982). We demonstrate here that many of these cells show similar large continuously graded changes in discharge when the monkey compensates for inertial loads wh...

The design of a power buffer to mitigate the negative impact of constant power loads on voltage stability as well as enhancing ride-through capability for the loads during upstream voltage disturbances is examined. The power buffer adjusts its front-end converter control so that the buffer-load combination would appear as a constant impedance load to the upstream supply system when depressed vo...
