The present work proposes an artificial neural network (ANN) to analyze vertical axis wind turbines of the Savonius type. These are appropriate for low velocities due their starting torque. Nevertheless, efficiency is too low. In order improve efficiency, several modifications analyzed. First all, innovative blade profile biologically inspired proposed. After that, influence parameters such as ...

Wind energy is a resource that abundant, environmentally friendly, and renewable, therefore it has the potential to be developed. Savonius vertical axis type suitable for application in low wind speed conditions. The turbine good self-starting so able rotate rotor even though low, besides torque produces relatively high. This study aims determine how differences OR affect performance of turbine...

Abstract As an important class of aggregation operators, the notion overlap functions was first presented in 2009 order to be considered for applications image processing context. Later, many other researches arised bringing some variations those different purposes. Here, our main goal is defining on lattices and discuss how a weakned version it, named quasi-overlaps, works when continuity elim...

the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...

In this paper, we propose a novel ICP variant that uses a histogram in conjunction with multiple closest points to detect the overlap area between range images geing registered. Tentative correspondences sharing similar distances are normally all within, or all outside, the overlap area. Thus, the overlap area can be detected in a bin by bin batch manner using a histogram. Using multiple closes...

In this paper a new bucket configuration for a Savonius wind generator is proposed. Numerical analyses are performed to estimate the performances of the proposed configuration by means of the commercial code COMSOL Multiphysicsr with respect to Savonius wind turbine with overlap only. Parametric analyses are performed, for a fixed overlap ratio, by varying the slot position; the results show th...

aim : we described two case reports of aih/ssc overlap syndrome and reviewed literatures regarding this issue.   background : aih is a chronic hepatitis of unknown aetiology characterized by continuing hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation. aih overlap syndromes have been reported with other autoimmune diseases. patients and methods : according to the classification criteria for ssc, we cond...

My talk is divided into five parts. In the first part the relevance of the chiral fermion issue to fundamental particle physics and to numerical QCD will be explained. In the second part the basic ideas of the overlap construction will be reviewed. In the third part I shall focus on the algebraic (as opposed to kinematic) meaning of the overlap. In the fourth part I shall discuss in greater det...
