One of the most important factors for appropriate performance of subsurface drainage systems is having adequate discharge for drains. For this purpose, knowledge about effect of drainage parameters change on drain discharge is essential in subsurface drainage systems. In this article, using change all of the drainage parameters by EnDrain software, changes of drains discharge has been investiga...

We report on the intermittent dynamics of the free surface of a cohesive granular material during a silo discharge. In absence of cohesion, one observes the formation and the growth of a conical crater whose angle is well defined and constant in time. When the cohesion is involved the free surface exhibits a complex dynamics and the crater, resulting from a series of individual avalanches, is n...

Plasmas are ideal for producing reactive species (radicals, ions) for modifying surface properties to achieve desired mechanical or chemical functionality. Two of the most technologically (and commercially) important applications of plasmas are etching/deposition for microelectronic fabrication and functionalization of polymers. Among these applications, capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) source...

OBJECTIVE We systematically tested the capability of the Convolution Kernel Compensation (CKC) method to identify motor unit (MU) discharge patterns from the simulated and experimental surface electromyogram (sEMG) during low-force contractions. METHODS sEMG was detected with a grid of 13 x 5 electrodes. In simulated signals with 20 dB signal-to-noise ratio, 11+/-3 out of 63 concurrently acti...

Plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) at atmospheric pressure becomes a promising technology. The objective of the present work is to develop technique for deposition of thin films with desired properties on paper surface by means of atmospheric pressure discharge. The depositions were carried out by the means of surface discharge at atmospheric pressure. The films were deposited f...

Plasma processing in vacuum is widely applied in optical patterning, formation of microand nanostructures, deposition of films, etc. on the material surface (Orlikovskiy, 1999a; Soifer, 2002). Surface–plasma interaction raises the temperature of the material, causing the parameters of device features to deviate from desired values. To improve the accuracy of microand nanostructure fabrication, ...

2014 The pure-hydrogen discharges in surface-plasma sources with a semiplanotron electrode configuration are described. In short pulse (10-3 s) mode the extracted Hemission density was up to 1.1 A/cm2 at cathode discharge current density 60 A/cm2. The multi-slit short pulse extraction delivered the Houtput with current of up to 1 A. In the long pulse (0.6 s) mode the Hyield was 0.15 A at discha...

Anti-pollution flashover of insulator is important for power systems. In recent years, haze-fog weather occurs frequently, which makes discharge occurs easily on the insulator surface and accelerates insulation aging of insulator. In order to study the influence of haze-fog on the surface discharge of room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, an artificial haze-fog lab was established. Based...
