A three-wave interaction model with quadratic nonlinearities and linear growth/decay rates is used to investigate the occurrence of drift-wave turbulence driven by pressure gradients in the edge plasma of a tokamak. Model parameters are taken from a typical set of measurements of the floating electrostatic potential in the tokamak edge region. Some aspects of the temporal dynamics exhibited by ...

These are two monosyllable, closed-set speech tests. They are supplied as books of the stimulus pictures and a response sheet for photocopying. The test material is pre-recorded onto a CD with a calibration tone and six different orderings of the test words. Speech-shaped noise is recorded onto the second channel for testing in noise. It is envisaged that the typical set-up for carrying out the...

Micro-burst traffic is not uncommon in data centers. It can cause packet dropping, which results in serious performance degradation (e.g., Incast problem). However, current solutions that attempt to suppress micro-burst traffic are extrinsic and ad hoc, since they lack the comprehensive and essential understanding of micro-burst’s root cause and dynamic behavior. On the other hand, traditional ...

one of the main problems in micro irrigation system is inappropriate combination and in some cases inappropriate performance of filters and sand tanks in central control systems which cause reduction in efficiency of system and increasing of operating costs. this study evaluates affect the amount of algae on the performance of disc filters sand tank in research farm deputy of soil and water and...
