This study presents a designing process for refurbishing of a 32 MW rotor-generator damaged coupling. The reason of rotor damage was being hit by the quivers of an explosion. The original coupling was union with the rotor formed after a machining process on a mono block forged rotor. In some areas imposed damages caused the breaking off and detachment of some parts in the coupling flange. Becau...

We present the construction of a pseudorandom generator, that we call the Bit-Search Generator (BSG), based on a single input sequence. The construction is related to the so-called Self-Shrinking Generator which is known for its simplicity (conception and implementation-wise) linked with some interesting properties. After presenting the general running, we give a description of the BSG by using...

(b) Usually (in practice), the k used for signing is not generated completely at random, but by using a pseudorandom generator. Again, in practice, people use a simple “pseudorandom” generator such as the linear congruential generator. A linear congruential generator LCG, on input a seed s0 outputs a sequence (s1, s2, . . . , sn) such that si = asi−1 + b(mod q). (where a and b are assumed to be...

Introduction Spike noise is a term used to describe broadband electrical interference in an MRI system. The result of spike noise can be seen in k-space as a bright dot. After the image reconstruction processing, the spike noise produces an undesired corduroy or wavy pattern over the magnetic resonance image. Typical sources of spike noise include unclosed door, a failed receiver channel, elect...

In this work, the development of a point-of-care (PoC) system to capture aerosol from litres of air directly onto a microfluidic lab-on-chip for subsequent analysis is addressed. The system involves an electrostatic precipitator that uses corona charging and electrophoretic transport to capture aerosol droplets onto a microfluidic air-to-liquid interface for downstream analysis. A theoretical s...

tio 2 nanoparticles (nps) might be considered as the most important photosensitizer due to high photocatalytic and sonocatalytic efficiency, low toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, low cost and high chemical stability. tio 2 -nps normally tend to aggregate in physiological medium and which results to decreased cell viability and inducing expression of stress-related genes. thus dispersion and...
