Spurred by the question of the maximum allowable energy for the operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we have progressed in the understanding of the thermo-electric behavior of the 13 kA superconducting bus bars interconnecting its main magnets. A deep insight of the underlying mechanisms is required to ensure the protection of the accelerator against undesired effects of resistive tran...

According to the Polish Labour Code &elpar;Ustawa, 1974) employers are legally obligated to provide workers with information about occupational health and safety risks. Maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) and the results of determining chemical compounds in workplace air are used for assessing occupational exposure and risk. A computer-assisted system STER, developed in the Central Institute...

In section Three numerical examples, there are some errors due to wrong simulation. Thus we correct the results of the section in the following. In Example 1, the result of Table 1 is incorrect. The corrected maximum allowable bound of c when a = 1.1 is 10.78. Thus, our result in Example 1 gives smaller bound than the result of Yue [8], 23.9674. However, our work may give lower controller gain ...

Space travel induces many deleterious effects on the flight crew due to the '0' g environment. The brain experiences a tremendous fluid shift, which is responsible for many of the detrimental changes in physical behavior seen in astronauts. It therefore indicates that the brain may undergo major changes in its protein levels in a '0' g environment to counteract the stress. Analysis of these glo...

The maximum likelihood estimator MLE for the survival function ST under the proportional hazards model of censorship is derived and shown to di er from the Abdushukurov Cheng Lin estimator when the class of allowable distributions includes all continuous and discrete distributions The estimators are compared via an example The MLE is calculated using a Newton Raphson iterative procedure and imp...

Several exponential-time differencing (ETD) schemes are introduced into the method of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to solve the resulting stiff stochastic differential equations in the limit of small mass, where emphasis is placed on the handling of the fluctuating terms (i.e., those involving the random forces). Their performances are investigated numerically in some test viscometric fl...

The impact of the mismodelling in the Earth’s geopotential coefficient C22 on the detection of the general relativistic Lense-Thirring and gravitomagnetic clock effects is investigated. The systematic error induced on the Lense-Thirring LAGEOS experiment amounts to almost 1%. Regarding the gravitomagnetic clock effect, the systematic error induced on the satellite’s azimuthal location is 1-2 or...

Inside the framework of Analytical Quality by Design, a model-based approach has been developed and used to identify operating conditions (control method parameters) related composition flow rate mobile phase for liquid chromatographic determination with preset quality characteristics. The starts defining these desired characteristics intended chromatogram (proper resolution consecutive peaks s...
