For efficient use of water, accurate measurement of flow in (field/laboratory) channels is required for many water resource projects. The present work is aimed to study the flow characteristics of a twin plate weir (two sharp-crested plates are placed one behind the other at some distance) under free and submerged flow conditions. Experiments are performed with four spacing of the twin plate we...

We study the parsing complexity of Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) in the formalism of Vijay-Shanker and Weir (1994). As our main result, we prove that any parsing algorithm for this formalism will necessarily take exponential time when the size of the grammar, and not only the length of the input sentence, is included in the analysis. This result sets the formalism of Vijay-Shanker and We...

In the present study, experimental investigations about the hydrodynamics of the conical cap tray (ConCap tray) have been carried out. The ConCap tray is an innovative and novel type of cap trays. The effect of the different weir height (2.5, 5 and 7 cm) on the weeping, entrainment and the total pressure drop for the ConCap tray was measured, compared and correlated. The hydraulic experiments w...

The effect of the outlet weir height on sieve tray performance is described in this paper. The studies were made to investigate the effect of the outlet weir height on sieve tray mass transfer efficiency and hydraulic performance. Tests were conducted in the 1.22 m diameter section of the Fractionation Research, Inc. (FRI) low-pressure column. Sieve trays with nominal hole areas of 14%, 13%, an...

The purpose of this study is to know clinical factors underlying either a single surgery or repetitive surgeries, required to treat superior oblique muscle palsy. Retrospective review was made on 246 consecutive patients with idiopathic (n = 212) or acquired (n = 34) superior oblique muscle palsy who underwent surgeries in 8 years at one institution. Idiopathic palsy included congenital and dec...

Background: The fissures in lung enhance uniform expansion. These fissures may be complete, incomplete or absent. A detailed knowledge of variations of classical and accessory fissures is necessary for proper radiological interpretation. It is a guide to cardiothoracic surgeons performing segmental lung resections, lobectomies to have an uncomplicated perioperative outcome. So, the cadaveric st...

The purpose of this research is examining the performance rectangular broad and sharp crested weirs in terms cavity index discharge coefficient. For purpose, a computational fluid dynamics CFD code FLUENT applied. Firstly, verified by applies on experiments work Hagre et al 1994 results show excellent agreements between Hager 1994. Secondly applied both weirs. demonstrate that have lower coeffi...

An experimental campaign is undertaken in order to investigate the hydraulic features of a vertical drop shaft, also considering the influence of a venting system consisting of a coaxial vertical pipe, projecting within the drop shaft with different plunging rates. Three different flow regimes are observed: a “weir flow” for very low head values, where the flow profile is subject to the atmosph...

Discharge behavior at side weirs is significantly influenced by the water surface profile along weir crest. In past century, different approaches were developed to describe this and associated discharge coefficients. However, application of these methods practical problems poses a particular challenge, as complex three-dimensional funnel formed due reduction, leading significant uncertainties i...
