Abstract Free-standing hybrid risers are vertical slender steel pipes that commonly used in the oil and gas industry. These structures subjected to complex hydrodynamic loads results fatigue damage. The tidal forces develop on Freestanding Risers (FSR) with buoyancy cans ( BC ) because of varying outer pipe dimensions investigated this work. study considered riser diameters 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 0.6 me...

In this paper, we present a transfer function representation of a general one-dimensional combustor. The input of the transfer function is a heat rate perturbation of a burner and the output is a flow velocity perturbation at the burner. This paper considers a general combustor model composed of multiple cans with different cross sectional areas, along with a non-zero flow rate. Keywords—Thermo...

Three patients showed dramatic psychic akinesia after recovery from toxic encephalopathy. They had no or only mild motor disorders. The spontaneous psychic akinesia was reversible when the patient was stimulated, as if there was a loss of self psychic activation. Intellectual capacities were normal. Two patients had stereotyped behaviours resembling compulsions. In all patients CT cans showed b...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com on canned and processed foods and beverages. The projected trends in globalization over the next coming years suggest that large scale food production and distribution will be greatly impacted. Since 1990 to 2009 foreign imports for produce have increased three fold in the U.S. according to the 2012 report on “The U.S. Trade Situation for Fruit and ...

At CANS 2008, Mashatan and Stinson suggested a message recognition protocol for ad hoc pervasive networks. The protocol provides a procedure to resynchronize in case of a (possibly adversarial) disruption of communication. We show that this resynchronization process does not provide the functionality intended and in fact enables an adversary to create selective forgeries. The computational effo...

As a result of such efforts, the number of young children with potentially harmful blood lead levels has dropped 85 percent in the last 20 years, as shown in National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Interested in measuring the impact of lead solder's removal from food cans, the Food and Drug Administration funded collection of the...

A 34-year-old man was found down in a parking lot after huffing fifteen cans of Dust-Off. Though lucid during the initial hospital evaluation, the patient experienced a generalized seizure followed by a torsades de pointes arrhythmia and was resuscitated. An echocardiogram revealed left and right ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 25%. This unique outcome of inhalant abuse has...

Overview Description of real life problem Motivation for choosing a multiple objective model Multiple objective model (decision variables, objectives, constraints) Technique used to solve the problem Analysis of results Opinion about the proposed model and solution approach Description of the real life problem We consider a waste incineration plant Input : Waste (cardboard, wood, glass, food wa...

Jeong-Hyun Park et al. 405 ABSTRACT⎯ In this letter, we suggest a postal RFID application model and system architecture that can be used for real-time trace and tracking system implementation of parcel processing and pallet management. This letter also shows the tag recognition performance of parcels and pallets by speed and mounting tag materials such as cans, water, and paper using an impleme...
