The energy recovery and utilization of high-pressure brine are the key to reduce cost. Reducing flow rate method (RFM) was put forward firstly adapt pump as turbine (PAT) a wide range operating conditions in this paper. In order validate advantages new method, three different designs PAT were obtained, respectively, based on methods, which were, selection design curved RFM. Based numerical exte...

ABSTRACT: Due to the development of spatial resolution, spectral resolution and multi-image tasking of high-resolution satellite images, the generation of digital surface model (DSM) from high-resolution satellite images becomes an important and practical application. Nowadays, different image matching approaches such as global matching and semi-global matching has been developed to obtain dens...

BACKGROUND Initial stability of the implant is, in effect, one of the fundamental criteria for obtaining long-term osseointegration. Achieving implant stability depends on the implant-bone relation, the surgical technique and on the microscopic and macroscopic morphology of the implant used. A newly designed parabolic screw-type dental implant system was tested in vivo for early stages of inter...

BACKGROUND The development of evidence-based guidelines is a key step in ensuring that maternity care is of a universally high standard. To influence patient care national and international guidelines need to be interpreted and implemented locally. In 2011, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists published guidelines for the management of reduced fetal movements (RFM), which can b...

Human listeners are able to concentrate on listening to one voice amidst other conversations and background noise, but not all of the neural mechanisms for this process are understood. There is growing evidence in normal-hearing subjects that the medial olivocochlear (MOC) auditory efferent system is involved in the detection of signals in noise, such as speech sounds, by modulation of cochlear...

The Gaofen-1 (GF-1) and Gaofen-6 (GF-6) satellites have acquired many GF-1 GF-6 wide-field-view (WFV) images. These images been made available for free use globally. WFV rational polynomial coefficients (RPCs). In practical applications, RPC corrections of need to be completed using the function model (RFM). However, can accuracy satisfy application requirements? To address this issue, a geomet...

Association rules have been developed for years and applied successfully for market basket analysis and cross selling among other business applications. One of the most used approaches in association rules is the Apriori algorithm. However the Apriori algorithm, has long known for its weaknesses that generate enormous amount of rules and alreadyknown facts. In this study, we integrate the RFM a...
