This study aimed to develop new statistical models for evaluating the specific ampere draw (SI) based on rock brittleness index in rock sawing process. A variety of rocks, including carbonate and granite, were cut by a fully instrumented laboratory-sawing rig with two different types of circular diamond saws. Laboratory tests were performed at different depths of cut and feed rates. Multiple cu...

Recently, Inner permanent magnet (IPM) synchronous machines have been introduced as a possible traction motor in hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and traction applications due to their unique merits. In order to achieve maximum torque per ampere (MTPA), optimization of the motor geometry parameters is necessary. This paper Presents a design method to achieve minimum volume, MTPA and minimum ...

The base electrical unit, the ampere, was defined in 1960 and its realization was carried out by means of a Pellat-type balance. This experiment was typically difficult, time consuming and the achieved uncertainty was close to 8.10. As a result, in practice, the realization of electrical units does not start with ampere of which the representation requires the volt and the ohm. Two discoveries ...

This study developed a real-time remote monitoring system (RTRMS) to receive the vibration frequency of bridge pier. The system included a front station and a middle station. A multi-hop wireless routing is employed to transmit the data from the front to the middle station. The front station includes a receiver equipped to receive the vibration frequency, and a wireless sensor network to transm...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a conserved cellular fuel gauge previously implicated in aging. In this issue, Lu et al. (2011) describe how age-related deacetylation of Sip2, a subunit of the AMPK homolog in yeast, acts as a life span clock that can be wound backward or forward to modulate longevity.

In this thesis, we study degenerate Monge-Ampere equations over projective manifolds. The main degeneration is on the cohomology class which is Kähler in classic cases. Our main results concern the case when this class is semi-ample and big with certain generalization to more general cases. Two kinds of arguments are applied to study this problem. One is maximum principle type of argument. The ...

The Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP; Payne, Cheng, Govorun, & Stewart, 2005) is an important tool in implicit social cognition research, but little is known about its underlying mechanisms. This paper investigates whether, as the name implies, affect-based processes really underlie the AMP. We used a modified AMP that enabled us to separate the influence of affective and nonaffective proce...

The High Resistance Compensation Method (HRCM) was developed to measure the electrode potentials of high resistance electrodes. It is essentially similar to the classical Poggendorff compensation method, but instead of an ampere-meter, the pH-meter was introduced as an indicator of complete compensation. The method was applied to measurements of the electrode potentials of a single crystal ruti...
