In many Mediterranean countries, users store water resources in private tanks, which are typically located on rooftops. These local reservoirs are generally connected directly to the water distribution network (WDN). This installation scheme causes a disconnection of the WDN from the users, and thus, the users’ water supply is no longer linked to their consumption, which changes the network ope...

Background. There have been many studies on partial weight support walking training. However, most studies have been performed in treadmill settings, not in actual walking environments. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate the effect of partial weight support ground walking training on the temporal and spatial gait parameters of chronic stroke patients. Methods. This study was designed...

The active-pressurization of cryogenic propellant tanks for the launcher application was analyzed in this study. Therefore, ground experiments, numerical simulations and analytical studies were performed with the following important results: In order to minimize the required pressurant gas mass, a higher pressurant gas temperature is advantageous or the application of helium as pressurant gas. ...

Although predation by non-native alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) on lake trout fry (Salvelinus namaycush) has been documented, whether or not emergent lake trout fry innately recognize alewives as predators is unknown. This study investigated the behavior of post-emergent, free-swimming lake trout fry in the presence of alewives. Study objectives were to determine (1) if fry respond to the prese...

Stirred tanks are widely used in process industries for blending of singleand/or multiple-phase fluids, which often involves mass and/or heat transfer, chemical reactions, etc. Deep knowledge of flow field in the stirred tank is necessary to carry out these unit operations efficiently. As a result, extensive investigations of the flow in stirred tanks have been conducted over the past several d...
