Teaching planning and decision making in agricultural systems at universities is often theoretically with few practical examples. Regularly there are not enough possibilities to get experience in planning a whole farm business having regard to all enterprises and all kinds of farm planning (production plan, financial plan,...). Making plans of separate parts of the farm without regarding the wh...

in thermal cracking plants, it is desired to apply an optimal temperature profile along the reactor to minimize the operation cost. in this article a simulator is developed by the use of a mathematical model, which describes the static operation of a naphtha thermal cracking pilot plant. the model is used to predict the steady state profiles of the gas temperature and product yields. using a dy...

Researcher: Yoko Kunii Title: Student Pilot Situational Awareness: The Effects of Trust in Technology Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Science in Aeronautics Year: 2006 The purpose of this research was to evaluate the general level of trust in technology in student pilots and then to determine the relationship between pilots’ trust and their situational awaren...

In this paper, we investigate the system performance of a multi-cell multi-user (MU) hybrid millimeter wave (mmWave) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) network adopting the channel estimation algorithm proposed in [1] for channel estimation. Due to the reuse of orthogonal pilot symbols among different cells, the channel estimation is expected to be affected by pilot contamination, which is c...

Energy obtained from renewable sources has increased its participation in the energy matrix worldwide, and it is expected to maintain this tendency. Both in large and small scales, there have been numerous developments and research with the aim of generating fuels and energy using different raw materials such as alternative crops, algae and waste cooking oil. Capparis spinosa seed (containing 3...

This paper describes an investigation into ATC complexity as a contributory factor in changes of safety level. ATC complexity, together with equipment interface and procedural demands comprise the task demands on the controller; subsequent controller activities are mediated by performance shaping factors to create workload. In order to establish a link between ATC complexity, a controller’s sub...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive frequency domain channel estimation method based on a modified Kalman filtering, which requires low pilot overhead, for estimating and tracking time-varying channel in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The proposed frequency domain Kalman filtering channel estimation achieves the minimum pilot overhead by exploiting periodically ins...
