the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of nozzle configurations on spray drift and explain the influences using several atomization characteristics (length of spray sheet, spray angle, velocity distribution of flow field, fluctuation of velocity, and droplet size). nozzles manufactured by one company (lechler gmbh, germany) were tested by spraying local tap water in a win...

Under major load earthquakes, reinforced concrete structures designed according to the current codes will experience an inelastic deformation which is difficult predict and control. Performance-based plastic design (PBPD) methodology applied forward in this study. In method, as performance criteria, target drift yield mechanisms are preselected. Based on work-energy balance principle, base shea...

Coherent drift modes and drift wave turbulence is studied in a collisionality dominated high-density helicon plasma. The drift wave instability is identified by comparison of the drift mode density fluctuations characteristics with a linear dispersion relation, which reproduces the experimentally observed bent eigenmode structures due to radial gradients of the collisionality profile. Special a...

Needham (1928) first noted the ‘drift’ of aquatic insects when examining the importance of terrestrial insects as trout food. When using a fine copper wire-meshed net to collect benthos in streams near Ithaca, NY he discovered large numbers of aquatic insects present his samples. Drift attracted more attention from researchers in the 1950’s after Muller quantified drift and compared drift with ...

The apparent angular size of the shadow a black hole in an expanding Universe is redshift-dependent. Since cosmological redshifts change with time - known as redshift drift all redshift-dependent quantities acquire time-dependence, and fortiori so do shadows. We find mathematical description show that amplitude this effect order $10^{-16}$ per day for M87$^{\star}$. While small, we argue its no...

Coherent point drift is a well-known algorithm for solving set registration problems, i.e., finding corresponding points between shapes represented as sets. Despite its advantages over other state-of-the-art algorithms, theoretical and practical issues remain. Among issues, (1) it unknown whether the always converges, (2) meaning of parameters concerning motion coherence unclear. (3) relatively...

Exceptional characteristics of Cloud computing has replaced all traditional computing. With reduced resource management and without in-advance investment, it has been victorious in making the IT world to migrate towards it. Microsoft announced its office package as Cloud, which can prevent people moving from Windows to Linux. As this drift is escalating in an exponential rate, the cloud environ...

The majority of Iran’s area is covered by arid and semiarid climates. In these areas, wind causes more erosion compared to water. Therefore, determination of wind characteristics especially its velocity is very important. One of the simplest methods that can supply researchers with the origin of wind erosion in the shortest time is synthesizing sand rose model and interpretation of aerial photo...

Due to the complexity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) target tracking scenarios, drift caused by occlusion is common and has no suitable solution. In this paper, an occlusion-resistant algorithm based on correlated filter model proposed. First, instead traditional that uses single template matching locate target, we finding optimal match multiple candidates templates matching. Then, in order i...
