We show that by directly correlating the cluster kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich (KSZ) flux, the cluster peculiar velocity power spectrum can be measured to ∼ 10% accuracy by future large sky coverage KSZ surveys. This method is almost free of systemics entangled in the usual velocity inversion method. The direct correlation brings extra information of density and velocity clustering. We utilize thes...

This chapter provides an overview of the flow in the sliced cylinder under various conditions, and compares the numerical output with laboratory results and the linear theory by Beardsley (1969) in order to verify the accuracy of the numerical model. This chapter is based on results presented by Griffiths & Kiss (1999) (hereafter GK99); Griffiths was responsible for all the laboratory results a...

laboratory experiments were performed to determine the effect of various scarification treatments at four temperature regimes on germination of licorice seeds . a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. germination counts were made every day for 2 weeks. at 50c, none of the chemically and mechanically scarified and non scarified seeds germinated. at 15, 25, and 350...

berthing force is a critical dynamic lateral force in the design of berthing structures, having equal relevance when compared to seismic forces. besides, the construction cost of berthing structures is very high which can be optimized by calculating precise design berthing energy on fender and selecting optimum fender system. in the present study, design berthing energy of bulk carriers having ...
