In order to transfer voice or some other application requiring real-time delivery over a packet network, we need a de-jitter buffer to eliminate delay jitters. An important design parameter is the depth of the de-jitter buffer since it influences two important parameters controlling voice quality, namely voice-path delay and packet loss probability. In this paper, we propose and study several s...

the manning roughness coefficient is an important parameter in the design and evaluation of furrow irrigation. despite its importance, estimation of this parameter for surface irrigation is very difficult, particularly in furrow irrigation. in this study, an evalue model was used to estimate the manning roughness coefficient in furrow irrigation. the model was based on volume balance and develo...

[1] A period parameter tc and an amplitude parameter Pd determined from the very beginning of P wave are important for earthquake early warning (EEW), yet their dependence on source mechanism, focal depth and epicentral distance has not been fully studied. After the devastating Mw7.9 Wenchuan earthquake, hundreds of M4-6 earthquakes occurred with diverse focal mechanisms and depth range of 2–20...

Turning of hardened steels using a single point cutting tool has replaced the cylindrical grinding now as it offers attractive benefits in terms of lower equipment costs, shorter set up time, fewer process setups, higher material removal rate, better surface quality and elimination of cutting fluids compared to cylindrical grinding. In order to obtain desired surface quality by machining, pr...

Automatic anaesthesia using electroencephalographic assessment of depth was described by American authors in 1951 and 1954. A first paper (Soltero, Faulconer and Bickford, 1951) dealt with ether vaporization in a closed circuit with spontaneous respiration. A second communication (Kiersey, Faulconer and Bickford, 1954) was concerned with thiopentone anaesthesia during spontaneous respiration an...

Film calibration is time-consuming work when dose accuracy is essential while working in a range of photon scatter environments. This study uses the single-target single-hit model of film response to fit the calibration curves as a function of calibration method, processor condition, field size and depth. Kodak XV film was irradiated perpendicular to the beam axis in a solid water phantom. Stan...

We have measured the temperature dependence of the microwave surface impedance Zs5Rs1ivm0l of two c-axis oriented MgB2 films employing dielectric resonator techniques. The temperature dependence of the magnetic-field penetration depth l determined by a sapphire dielectric resonator at 17.9 GHz can be well fitted from 5 K close to Tc by the standard BCS integral expression assuming the reduced e...
