TWO unique models, the Lam-Bremhorst low Reynolds number turbulence model (LBLR) and a multiple airflow regions model (MARM), were compared in describing the distribution of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a simulated swine grower pen used in a previous experimental study (Brannigan and McQuitty, 1971), The results from this comparative study indicate that the LBLR model's ability to predict airflow pa...

This work studies the fluid dynamics of solids in splash zone fluidized bed furnaces, with focus set on back-mixing and entrainment order to enhance understanding prediction flow bottom region furnace. Experimental results show establishment a also for runs absence dense bed. A simple model assuming ballistic trajectories ejected is shown satisfactorily estimate rate. The flux non-backmixed sol...

abstract stepped spillways are of most important hydraulic constructions to dissipation energy of water flow. these constructions are used in opening channel to transfer water from upper level to lower level. because of considerable effect of steps on flow dissipation energy and also the resulted developments in construction of roller competed concrete rcc, the mentioned constructions have draw...

Neurospora crassa has been systematically investigated for circadian entrainment behavior. Many aspects of synchronization can be investigated in this simple, cellular system, ranging from systematic entrainment and drivenness to masking. Clock gene expression during entrainment and entrainment without clock genes suggest that the known transcription/translation feedback loop is not alone respo...

Entrainment is a factor in dialogue that affects not only human-human but also human-machine interaction. While entrainment on the lexical level is well documented, less is known about how entrainment affects dialogue on a more abstract, structural level. In this paper, we investigate the effect of entrainment on dialogue acts and on lexical choice given dialogue acts, as well as how entrainmen...

The Southern Ocean is of outsized significance to the global oxygen and carbon cycles with relatively poor measurement coverage due to harsh winters and seasonal ice cover. In this study, we use recent advances in the parameterization of air-sea oxygen fluxes to analyze 9 years of oxygen data from a recalibrated Argo oxygen data set and from air-calibrated oxygen floats deployed as part of the ...
