In this paper we discuss two issues, the inter-comparison of four mixed layer mesoscale parameterizations and the search for the eddy induced velocity for an arbitrary tracer. It must be stressed that our analysis is limited to mixed layer mesoscales since we do not treat sub-mesoscales and small turbulent mixing. As for the first item, since three of the four parameterizations are expressed in...

We studied the effects of vibration exposure on the peripheral nerve system by measuring and comparing motor nerve conduction velocity, sensory nerve conduction velocity and residual latency in 236 vibrating tool operators and 30 normal controls of the same age-distribution. In addition, thresholds of pain and vibratory sense were examined and subjective complaints were also determined by quest...

The conventional velocity scan can be computationally expensive for large-scale seismic data sets, particularly when the presence of anisotropy requires multiparameter scanning. We introduce a fast algorithm for 3D azimuthally anisotropic velocity scan by generalizing the previously proposed 2D butterfly algorithm for hyperbolic Radon transforms. To compute semblance in a two-parameter residual...

The objective of this study was to specify the effects of centrifugation and different surface of soybean lecithin-based extender on post-thaw Sperm quality of Ghezel ram semen. Semen samples were gathered from 5 mature Ghezel ram two/week for 3 weeks. After initial evaluation, the approved semen samples were pooled together and split into equal parts in Falcon tubes. Three samples were combine...

In this paper a novel the artificial neural networks are used for both residual generation and residual analysis for fault diagnosis of robust manipulators. A Multilayer Perception (MLP) is employed to reproduce the dynamics of the robotic manipulator. Its outputs are compared with actual position and velocity measurements, generating the so-called residual vector. The residuals, when properly ...

The tube flocculator is used to study how fluid shear levels affect the settling properties of a flocculated alum-kaolin suspension. FReTA is employed to quantitatively compare the effects of varying fluid shear and hydraulic residence time on the sedimentation velocity distributions and the post-sedimentation residual turbidities of flocculated suspensions formed in the tube flocculator. Resul...

Since fields in the heavy quark effective theory are described by both a velocity and a residual momentum, there is redundancy in the theory: small shifts in velocity may be absorbed into a redefinition of the residual momentum. We demonstrate that this trivial reparameterisation invariance has non-trivial consequences: it relates coefficients of terms of different orders in the 1/m expansion a...

The latency time, which is the residual vibration of afine actuator and track eccentricity, has been the aim for direct pull-in in optical disk system. Modified velocity profiles of the coarse actuator and control inputs of the fine actuator have been proposed for the minimum residual vibration. Generally, there exists eccentricity due to mismatch of the disk center and the axis of a spindle mo...
