This paper presents the determination of a concentration at the minimum bubble velocity (CMV) for different types of frothers, such as straight and branched alkyl chain aliphatic alcohols, 1,ω-diols, poly(propylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol) alkyl ethers, n-alkyltrimethylammonium bromides, commercial frothers and others. The values of terminal rise bubble velocity were reviewed from the ...

Motor control neuroscientists measure limb trajectories and extract the onset of the movement for a variety of purposes. Such trajectories are often aligned relative to the onset of individual movement before the features of that movement are extracted and their properties are inspected. Onset detection is performed either manually or automatically, typically by selecting a velocity threshold. ...

In this paper we compare two different models that can be used to describe velocity profiles of a handwritten stroke. The theoretical analysis and performance comparison on the fitting data figures and the mean square error clearly reflects the superiority of the delta lognormal model over the minimum jerk model to describe the velocity profile characterizing rapid movements.

Minimum quench energy and normal zone propagation velocity are measured on short YBa2Cu3O7− coated conductors in self-field at temperatures ranging from 40 to 77 K. The sample is cooled via a cryocooler with a cryostat pressure of 10−4 Pa, creating a nearly adiabatic environment. A normal zone is created by pulsing a heater that is attached to the sample surface with a thin layer of alumina-fil...

A series of tests were conducted to determine the velocities necessary for lead air gun pellets (calibers .177 and .22) and caliber .38 lead bullets to perforate skin. Human lower extremities were used. Caliber .177 air gun pellets weighing 8.25 grains required a minimum velocity of 101 m/s (331 ft/s) to perforate skin. The energy per area of presentation ratio E/a was 1:86 m X kg/cm2. Caliber ...

in order to study the fluidization behavior of grains, a laboratory fluidized bed dryer (fbd) was designed and developed. forward blade centrifugal fan with 1.5 kw electric motor, was selected to be used based on the highest pressure loss calculated at minimum fluidization condition and airflow rate at terminal velocity of the selected grains (paddy, soybean, millet and barley). the dryer was c...
