the existing studies of threshing process of combine harvesters adopt the assumption of constant mass, which is contradictory to the phenomenon of separation of grains and short stalks in actual threshing process. therefore, the characteristics of threshing and separation are not accurately described. aiming at this problem, this study established the tangential-longitudinal threshing and separ...

The growing scarcity of fresh water is driving the implementation of wastewater treatment and water reuse on an increasingly large scale. Various methods have been developed and used for water reuse from wastewater; however, the membrane distillation (MD) process, as a promising separation technology, has recently gained more attention. The MD process is a non-isothermal membrane-based separati...

Most of the HO blind source separation methods developed this last decade aim at blindly separating statistically independent sources, assumed stationary and ergodic. Nevertheless, in many situations such as in radiocommunications, the sources are non stationary and very often (quasi)-cyclostationary (digital modulations). In these contexts, it is important to wonder if the performance of these...
