Mono-Size Distribution Index (MSDI): A new criterion for the quantitative description of size distribution

A New Index for Quantitative Assessment of ‎Distribution Network Resilience in the Presence of Distributed ‎Generations

Resilience is defined as the system ability to keep an acceptable performance level against a sever disturbance and to return to a stable condition in a suitable time. Occurrence of inconvenient weather conditions and natural disasters, which are growing in number and severity during the last years, has always led to damages and wide outage throughout the distribution network. Therefore the ass...

A New Approach for Determination of Neck-Pore Size Distribution of Porous Membranes via Bubble Point Data

Reliable estimation of the porous membranes neck-pore size distribution (NPSD) is the key element in the design and operation of all membrane separation processes. In this paper, a new approach is presented for reliable of NPSD of porous membranes using wet flow-state bubble point test data. For this purpose, a robust method based on the linear regularization theory is developed to extract NPSD...

Size and Size Distribution Characterization

The use of classical, or time-averaged, light scattering methods to characterize the size and size distribution of macromolecules in dilute solutions or particles in dilute dispersions is discussed. The necessary scattering relations are presented systematically, starting with three cases at infinite dilution: the scattering extrapolated to zero angle, the scattering at small angle, and the sca...

Mean Drop Size and Drop Size Distribution in a Hanson Mixer-Settler Extraction Column

Novel Tools for Analyzing Proportional Size Distribution Index Data

—Proportional size distribution (PSD) indices are convenient measures for numerically summarizing size structure of fish populations. Several novel methods for analyzing PSD index data were examined as a means for potentially improving inferences of size structure: generalized linear mixed modeling, calculation of location quotients, and simultaneous construction of 100(1 a)% confidence interva...

A new parametrization of the rain drop size distribution

This paper revisits the problem of nding a parametric form for the rain drop size distribution (DSD) which 1) is an appropriate model for tropical rainfall, and 2) involves statistically independent parameters. Using TOGA/COARE data, we derive a parametrization which meets these criteria. This new parametrization is an improvement on the one that was derived in [3], using TRMM ground truth data...
