prior experimental and theoretical background of the banki water turbine has been briefly presented. theoretical values of unit quantities have been compared with published experimental data as well as data obtained in the hydraulic lab at the university of tehran; from which, shortcomings of the existing theory in predicting the turbine performance has been highlighted. factors responsible for...

Abstract Objective The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has prompted one of the most extensive and expeditious genomic sequencing efforts in history. Each viral genome is accompanied by a set metadata which supplies important information such as geographic origin sample, age host, lab at sample was sequenced, integral to epidemiological public health direction. Here, we interrogate some shortcomings within ...

As the coverage area of conventional identity & access management solutions is limited by an organization’s boundaries, several approaches for Federated Identity Management (FIM), i.e., cross–organizational identity and user data exchange, have emerged. In this paper we demonstrate that even the most important FIM standards have several shortcomings in common which are prejudicial to early FIM ...

This paper presents the beginnings of a framework for formal testing of the causes of the current limited quality of HMM (Hidden Markov Model) speech synthesis. This framework separates each of the effects of modelling to observe their independent effects on vocoded speech parameters in order to address the issues that are restricting the progression to highly intelligible and natural-sounding ...
