the objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. given the increasing demand for higher steel surface quality, more rapid production, and thinner steel plates, more attention has been directed toward the parameter of temperature in cold rolling as a means of achieving the above objectives...

Nomenclature AoA = Angle of Attack CDF = Cumulative Distribution Function CoG = Center of Gravity CoV = Coefficient of Variation DLR = Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luftund Raumfahrt (German Aerospace Center) hb = ratio of vehicle bottom height to vehicle height hb2 = height parameter, s. Appendix A H = height of vehicle KS = Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance L = length of vehicle L/Dmax = maximum lift-to-d...

Sacral marker and pelvis reconstruction methods have been proposed to approximate total body center of mass during relatively low intensity gait and hopping tasks, but not during a maximum effort vertical jumping task. In this study, center of mass displacement was calculated using the pelvic kinematic method and compared with center of mass displacement using the ground-reaction force-impulse ...

In this work we study L-band and X-band interferometric phase center location in boreal forest in order to assist height retrieval with POLinSAR methods. We complement interferometric L-band and X-band dataset with an accurate LIDAR measured terrain and canopy height model. The LIDAR measured model allows to calculate ground and treetop phase estimates and reveal the radar measured phase center...

Abstract In continuous casting of steel, the strand is cooled in upper part secondary cooling zone with water sprayed by nozzles towards surface. The accumulates nip lower roll a pair, forming pool which then drains off ends roll. present work, open channel hydraulics was applied for computation height between and slab casting. differential equation describing change spatially varied flow incre...

Many observers and scholars argue that primary elections contribute to ideological polarization in U.S. politics. We test this claim using congressional elections and roll call voting behavior. Many of our findings are null. We find little evidence that the introduction of primary elections, the level of primary election turnout, or the threat of primary competition are associated with partisan...

Planning of object manipulations is dependent on the ability to generate, store, and retrieve sensorimotor memories of previous actions associated with grasped objects. However, the sensorimotor memory representations linking object properties to the planning of grasp are not well understood. Here we use an object rotation task to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the nature of these ...

OBJECTIVE We compared vibration-induced ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (OVEMPs) with the visual vertical during whole-body roll tilt and eccentric rotation in healthy subjects and patients with unilateral vestibular loss, to determine which test was most sensitive in discriminating impaired utricle function. METHODS OVEMPs and the visual vertical were measured in 11 patients and...
