An in-situ experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of tropical storm on the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) loads in Litopenaeus vannamei rearing ponds. White spot syndrome virus loads, heterotrophic bacteria, Vibrio and water quality (including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, NH4-N, and NO2-N) were continually monitored through one tropical storm. The WSSV loads d...

geometric and material nonlinear behavior of slender webs in i-column girders having stocky flanges under the action of combined lateral and axial loads is investigated. interaction curves corresponding to the application of compressive and shear loads at buckling and ultimate stages for both web plates and column sections are plotted. in addition, the effects of flange and web slenderness rati...

results the results showed that the highest compressive force exerted on the back was equal to 4002 n and the lowest force 1425 n. moreover, 76% of the tasks were reported to have the highest compressive force greater than the recommended limit; 72% of the tasks had an li 1 - 3 and 28% of them had an li less than 1. there was a weak direct correlation between compressive force and rwl. backgrou...

in the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. the cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axisymmetrically on the boundary surfaces. m...

this paper deals with the design and evaluation of a robust controller for static var compensator (svc) in remote industrial power systems to enhance the voltage profile for three-phase single cage induction motor (scim) loads. the controller design is based on h∞ theory to deal with uncertainties arising in industrial network modelling. the performance of the h∞ controller has been evaluated e...

The three-phase power transformer in the transmission or distribution substations represents one of essential devices on electric networks. Losing this devise cause a disconnection utility to large number electrical loads. robust protection system must be designed protect device during abnormal operations. A complete for poly-phase Karbala networks (East substation) is modeled and simulated, ad...

The design and performance of higher order mode (HOM) dampers for the SPEAR 2 RF system is presented. The SPEAR beam had experienced occasional periods of instability due to transverse oscillations which were driven by HOMs in the RF cavities. A substantial fraction of this RF energy was coupled out of the cavity into the waveguide connecting the cavity to the klystron. This waveguide was modif...

A method for accurately measuring the drag associated with a protuberance on an aircraft has been devised and implemented in a wind tunnel using a C-130 model. The C-130 aircraft has been heavily modified for various different configurations and the impact that these modifications have had on the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft has not been well documented. This paper describes a method...

This paper presents a strong technique for removing redundant loads from programs. The first part of the paper describes an algorithm for detecting memory redundancies (based on Simpson’s SCC value numbering algorithm [34]) and two frameworks for subsequently removing the redundant operations from the code (one based on available expressions [14] and the other on lazy code motion [23, 17]). The...

Abstract An assessment of fragility objects built (constructed) in urban environment to deliberately imposed abnormal actions (loads) is considered. The under analysis are explosions, vehicular impacts and fires that can be by acts terrorism sabotage as well such highly random events car crashes into structures due unintentional roadway departures. assessed means mathematical models known funct...
