An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of screw speed, inclination angle and variety on the required power, and conveying capacity of a screw conveyor. The experiment was designed with four levels of screw speed (600, 800, 1000, and 1200 rpm), five levels of inclination angle (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80°), and three levels of variety (Alikazemi, Hashemi, and Khazar). The Length, diame...

At same time, on this line, all must be feed-through ones. dimensions and principles operation mechanism shown. main mechanisms conveyor string conveyors, cutting pressure roller...

This paper presents an easy-to-adapt, discourse-aware framework that can be utilized as the content selection component of a generation system whose goal is to deliver descriptive texts in several turns. Our framework involves a novel use of a graph-based ranking algorithm, to iteratively determine what content to convey to a given request while taking into account various considerations such a...

Metaphors pervade our language because they are elastic enough to allow a speaker to express an affective viewpoint on a topic without committing to a specific meaning. This balance of expressiveness and indeterminism means that metaphors are just as useful for eliciting information as they are for conveying information. We explore here, via a demonstration of a system for metaphor interpretati...

In this paper we present a content planning system which takes into consideration a user's boredom and cognitive overload Our system applies a constraint-based optimization mechanism which maximizes a probabilistic function of a user's beliefs, and uses a representation of boredom and overload as constraints that affect the possible values of this function Further, we discuss two orthogonal pol...
