Standard electronic drum pads are equipped with one piezoelec­ tric sensor that converts stick strikes to electronic pulses which are measured and used to trigger pre-recorded samples or other sounds. Advanced models can measure the amplitude of this pulse and adjust the volume of the resultant sample or even select a different sample en­ tirely. The state of the art electronic drums are equipp...

– Mixing of two fractions of a granular material in a slowly rotating two-dimensional drum is considered. The rotation is around the axis of the upright drum. The drum is filled partially, and mixing occurs only at a free surface of the material. We propose a simple theory of the mixing process which describes a real experiment surprisingly well. The dependence of the mixing time on the drum fi...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether nausea or gastric dysrhythmia, including tachygastria, which was determined by electrogastrography (EGG), were observed during optokinetic motion sickness in healthy Japanese volunteers. Twelve volunteers (9 men and 3 women) participated in the study. The subjects were asked to sit in a chair with their heads positioned in the center of a dru...

The water level of boiler drum is one of the crucial control parameters for any process industry which reflects the control of mainly boiler load and feed water indirectly. If the level exceeds the limits, boiler water carryover into the superheater or the turbine may cause damage resulting in extensive maintenance costs. If the level is low, overheating of the water wall tubes may cause tube r...

Stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope ratios in otoliths were used to assess the degree of connectivity between early life and adult habitats of red drum Sciaenops ocellatus in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Young-of-the-year (YOY) red drum were sampled over a 3 yr period from major estuaries along the Texas coast, and otolith δ13C and δ18O were quantified to determine whether chemical t...

Abstract The article describes the procedure for performing international bilateral comparisons of national measurement standards units gas volume and flow in Ukraine Moldova. were carried out within COOMET Project 684/MD/16 “Pilot field flow”. list reference that took part is indicated. range flow, which out, from 0.5 m3/h to 50 m3/h. For 1 m3/h, a drum-type meter was used, 2 performed using r...

In this paper we describe the most important concepts of the belief revision system DRUM and show its use in model-based diagnosis. DRUM works directly on (logical) models and uses neither connicts nor justi-cations. The system description plus observations are seen as integrity constraints, while the inferred facts as well as assumptions about behavioral modes are revised whenever they connict...
