The aim of this study is to analyze the reliability modeling indices and to study the mechanical system of a thermal power plant. The reliability of a system, equipment and a product is very important aspect of quality for its consistence performance over its expected life span. In fact, uninterrupted service and hazard free operation is an essential requirement of large complex systems like el...

The LFV charged lepton decays µ → e+γ, τ → e+γ and τ → µ+γ and thermal leptogenesis are analysed in the MSSM with seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation and soft SUSY breaking with universal boundary conditions. The case of hierarchical heavy Majorana neutrino mass spectrum, M 1 ≪ M 2 ≪ M 3 , is investigated. Leptogenesis requires M 1 > ∼ 10 9 GeV. Considering the natural range of values ...

The clinical feasibility of 2D elastography methods is hindered by the requirement that the operator avoid out-of-plane motion of the ultrasound image during palpation, and also by the lack of volumetric elastography measurements. In this paper, we develop and evaluate a 3D elastography method operating on volumetric data acquired from a 3D probe. Our method is based on minimizing a cost functi...

We systematically investigate constraints on the parameters of the supersymmetric type-I seesaw mechanism from the requirement of successful thermal leptogenesis in the presence of upper bounds on the reheat temperature TRH of the early Universe. To this end, we solve the flavour-dependent Boltzmann equations in the MSSM, extended to include reheating. With conservative bounds on TRH, leading t...

12. Remarks: On January 26. 2000 a design change was initiated to resolve certain thermal design issues. This design change will result in a greater ability of the waste packages to eject heat after closure of the potential repository, thereby maintaining the two thermal requirements. The first requirement is protective of the fuel cladding, and the second requires that sections of the rock pil...

The management of residues from thermal waste treatment is an integral part of waste management systems. The primary goal of managing incineration residues is to prevent any impact on our health or environment caused by unacceptable particulate, gaseous and/or solute emissions. This paper provides insight into the most important measures for putting this requirement into practice. It also offer...

First, we investigate the static non-Abelian Kubo equation. We prove that it does not possess finite energy solutions; thereby we establish that gauge theories do not support hard thermal solitons. This general result is verified by a numerical solution of the equations. A similar argument shows that " static " instantons are absent. In addition, we note that the static equations reproduce the ...

The thermal conductivity of superconducting MgB 2 was studied in both the superconducting and normal state region. The latter is almost equally determined by the electronic-and the lattice thermal conductivity. In the superconducting state, however, the lattice thermal conductivity is larger. The electronic thermal conductivity below T c was derived from the experimental data considering the Ba...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Physical dormancy (PY)-break in some annual plant species is a two-step process controlled by two different temperature and/or moisture regimes. The thermal time model has been used to quantify PY-break in several species of Fabaceae, but not to describe stepwise PY-break. The primary aims of this study were to quantify the thermal requirement for sensitivity induction by de...

abstractin this study, the tensile force requirement, to separate the grain paddy was measured. the velocities of grain paddy it 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mm/min, and force requirement to failure stem at 100, 300, and 500 mm/min velocities was measured by using instron device. the data was analyzed using a completely randomized design. the results showed that velocity had a significant effect...
