Combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the design of experiments (DOE) methods, as a mixed approach in modeling was proposed so that to simultaneously benefit from the advantages of both modeling methods. The presented method was validated using a coal hydraulic classifier in an industrial scale. Effects of operating parameters including feed flow rate, solid content and baffle le...

Infective endocarditis is a potentially life threatening condition. It is associated with high mortality and morbidity resulting mostly due to cardiorespiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a modality of treatment used to support hypoxic respiratory failure especially in patients who are already on mechanical ventilation. Continuous renal replacement therapy is added mainly f...

The implementation of nature-based solutions that involve natural processes to mutually decrease flood risk and protect ecosystems can be an answer the demand for resilient management (FRM). As example a solution, polders have potential deliver those benefits; however, need innovation is observed in field redefining, combining, reformulating existing approaches improve welfare wellbeing individ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a phenomenon in which cracks propagate through the porous medium due to high pore fluid pressure. Hydraulic fracturing appears in different engineering disciplines either as a destructive phenomenon or as a useful technique. Modeling of this phenomenon in isothermal condition requires analysis of soil deformation, crack and pore fluid pressure interactions. In this paper...

The Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Meier-Leibnitz (FRM II) is actively participating in the worldwide efforts on developing high-density uranium fuels order to reduce enrichment of used high flux research reactors. This work part a parameter study define possible compatible FRM II core designs for conversion. As first step, code-to-code verification performed and experimental data validation....

Object detection in aerial images is a critical and essential task the fields of geoscience remote sensing. Despite popularity computer vision methods detecting objects, these have been faced with significant limitations such as appearance occlusion variable object sizes. In this letter, we explore conventional neck networks by analyzing information bottlenecks. We propose an enhanced network t...

While the literature takes a neutral to optimistic view of cooperation between riparian countries Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece on Flood Risk Management (FRM), floods in Maritsa Basin have been increasing over last decade. Considering inherently political nature transboundary rivers, this article investigates role power FRM using an adapted hydro-hegemony conceptual framework. Interviews with act...

Finite-length impulse response (FIR) filters occupy a central place many signal processing applications which either alter the shape, frequency or the sampling frequency of the signal. FIR filters are used because of their stability and possibility to have linear-phase but require a high filter order to achieve the same magnitude specifications as compared to infinite impulse response (IIR) fil...
