Analytical solutions have been obtained for both conservative and non-conservative forms of one-dimensional transport and transport-dispersion equations applicable for pollution as a result of a non-conservative pollutant-disposal in an open channel with linear spatially varying transport velocity and nonlinear spatially varying dispersion coefficient on account of a steady unpolluted lateral i...

Individuals regulate the transmission of shock to the head during running at different stride frequencies although the consequences of this on head-gaze stability remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine if providing individuals with visual feedback of their head-gaze orientation impacts tibial and head accelerations, shock attenuation and head-gaze motion during preferred speed...

The acceleration statistics of sheared and rotating homogeneous turbulence are studied using direct numerical simulation results. The statistical properties of Lagrangian and Eulerian accelerations are considered together with the influence of the rotation to shear ratio, as well as the scale dependence of their statistics. The probability density functions (pdfs) of both Lagrangian and Euleria...

BACKGROUND Australian football (AF) is a highly intermittent sport, requiring athletes to accelerate hundreds of times with repeated bouts of high-intensity running (HIR). Players aim to be in peak physical condition for finals, with anecdotal evidence of increased speed and pressure of these games. PURPOSE However, no data exists on the running demands of finals games, and therefore the aim ...

In this paper, we describe a complete development platform that features different innovative acceleration strategies, not included in any other current platform, that simplify and speed up the definition of the different elements required to design a spoken dialog service. The proposed accelerations are mainly based on using the information from the backend database schema and contents, as wel...

The water masers in NGC4258 delineate the structure and dynamics of a sub-parsec-diameter accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. VLBA observations provide precise information about the positions in the plane of the sky and the three-dimensional velocity vectors for the maser emission, but the positions along the line of sight must be inferred from models. Previous measurements placed ...

Introduction In March, 1964, Sandia Corporation, Albuquerque, New Mexico, in conjunction with Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL), Allentown, Pennsylvania, undertook to design and build an onboard monitoring and recording system for application at high accelerations. This system was to be used to monitor the acceleration of vehicles when it was not possible to hardwire or transmit the data, such ...

This paper confronts three conundrums. First, does the relationship between aid and growth fade over time when aid is successful? Second, why are aid inflows neglected in the literature on growth acceleration (or episodes). Third, why is country vulnerability overlooked in the same literature? Our purpose is to address these puzzles, and in doing so two hypotheses are formulated and tested. Fir...

Given the increased use of accelerometers in movement analysis, validation of such inertial sensors against conventional 3D camera systems and performance comparisons of different sensors have become important topics in biomechanics. This paper evaluates and compares linear acceleration trajectories obtained from two different accelerometers and derived from Vicon position data for an upper lim...

The operation of four – channel microprocessor controlled recorder to be used in combination with ENDEVCO piezoelectric force and acceleration sensors has been described in the present study. The purpose of the equipment is to record the data obtained in the course of bruise testing for fruit and vegetables with high water content. The data from four sensors are recorded with 12 bits resolution...
