double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with al2o3-water is numerically investigated. two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. the equations are solved using simpler algorithm. the results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the richardson number...

Double sampling plan is an examination with a certain parameter, so it cannot decide about manufactured products whose portion parameter ( ) is not certain. The main goal of this survey is to introduce double variable plan when  is indefinite to examine manufacturing products when concerned characteristics are normally distributed. Plan parameters are achieved by an optimization manner. Sum of ...

abstract. in recent years several studies have shown that  control charts with adaptive schemes or double sampling plans detect both small and moderate shifts in the process mean more quickly than the traditional shewhart  chart. in the classical double sampling  chart, the difference between two points were placed in the central region of first stage was not considered. in this study, a new co...

A detection method based on sensitization of a squared double differentiated signal is developed which discriminates the turbulent zones from laminar zones quite accurately. The procedure adopts a variable threshold and a variable hold time of the order of the Kolmogorov time scale. The output file so generated, includes all the information for further analysis of the turbulent signal.

In this paper we develop a robust controller based on variable structure systems (VSS) control theory for the stabilization of a class of Underactuated Mechanical Systems. This controller is based on a noncollocated partial feedback linearization of the underactuated system with a particular choice of the additional control for which the design is made using the sliding mode approach. Simulatio...

A modified Ronchi interferometer using two identical gratings is described. This instrument is very suitable for the measurement of small, zonal aberrations, since the shear can be changed continuously by rotating one grating with respect to the other, while the direction and magnitude of the tilt between the sheared wavefronts can be varied by adjusting the distances of the two gratings from t...

sperm selection techniques have became an important tool to improve sub fertile ejaculates. the main aim of this study was to assess the dynamics of motile sperm subpopulations of ejaculates from subfertile stallions subjected to density gradient centrifugation (dgc) involving a double layer colloid [dgc2], before and after storage for 24 and 48 hours. ejaculates from eight stallions with ferti...
