This study is concerned about the effects of brine discharge into the Arabian Gulf and desalination plants location also. The major concern is the Arabian coastline of the Gulf countries which started from Kuwait whole way to United Arab Emirates. Different scenarios for desalination plant and brine discharge management in the Arabian Gulf are discussed using mass balance computations. The Arabian

Experiments on dry face turning offunctionallygraded heat treatable steel are conducted. The workpieces have a hardened zone of approx. 60 HRC and a non-hardened zone of approx. 30 HRC. PCBN tools are used with different feeds, cutting speeds and depths of cut. Measurements of residual stresses in the surface layer reveal compressive stresses in the hardened zone and tensile stresses in the non-ha

In modern industrialised society prepared meals and eating out of home is an increasing phenomenon. This develops new business opportunities for food manufacturers, since they need to create more convenience to the consumers through food that can be prepared and served quickly. However, the new food products require increased quality and safety and thereby more controlled distribution. The issue i

Injection into the MAX IV Storage Rings will not make use of a conventional local injection bump with dipole kickers. Instead, pulsed multipole injection will be applied. Previously, it was foreseen to use a pulsed sextupole magnet similar to what KEK had originally designed for the PF ring. But after seeing encouraging results with a prototype nonlinear kicker magnet developed for BESSY-II, pulse

The performance of a turbo code is dependent on two properties of the code: its distance spectrum and its suitability to be iteratively decoded. Both these properties are dependent on the specific interleaver used in the turbo-coding scheme. This paper describes a strategy for interleaver design that includes a criterion for the performance of iterative decoding. This criterion is based upon corre

With the use of alkaline membrane fuel cells (AMFCs) there is a possibility to utilize low temperature fuel cell technology without the need of scarce and expensive noble metal catalysts. With this technology there is, however, a need to enhance the stability and ionic conductivity of anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) before AMFCs can be a viable alternative to the more studied proton-exchange membr

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is discussed as a strategy for institutional improvement of teaching and learning. Engagement in SoTL could be an individual enterprise focusing external networks including conference presentations and journal publications. This strategy could lead to development and improved teaching for the individual but not necessarily contribute to the developme

Dissipation of acoustic waves may be an efficient heating mechanism forthe lower and middle chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The basic idea isthat turbulent motions at the top of the solar convection zone generateacoustic waves which propagate upwards and dissipate in the lower andmiddle chromosphere, transporting energy into the higher layers. Butstill the question remains if this amount of energy

In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to array interpolation for the sectorized array processing of a uniform circular array. While other approaches do not fully consider the influence of out-of-sector signals on the in-sector response, our approach explicitly addresses this issue. By controlling the out-of-sector response, our interpolated array demonstrates a significantly improved a

A three-terminal ballistic junction (TBJ) is a device in which three quantum point contacts are coupled via a ballistic region. Previous studies have shown that the TBJs exhibit a novel electrical property which has potential applications in nanoelectronics. Here, based on our recent theoretical and experimental investigations, we will demonstrate that various nanoelectronic devices can be fabrica

This paper presents a combined experiment and identification procedure, well suited to obtain low-order dynamic models of a patients’ response to continuous drug administration. The experiment requires no a priori information and is of very short duration. The identification method provides both a parametric low-order model, and an estimate of the parameter error covariance. It has been demonstrat

Planning and implementing an open-loop, business-wide national pool system for transport packaging (trays and pallets) is a complex process. This research project is focusing on the driving forces in the development and decision processes. During 1992-1999, a group of logistics specialists within the Swedish food supply chains took part in a development process, which included much learning and ne

Achieving rapid, intuitive, and error-free robot setup and instruction is a challenge. We present our work towards an assistive infrastructure for robot setup and instruction that attempts to address it. In this paper, we describe the ongoing development of a system that automatically generates multimodal dialogue interaction from product and process ontologies. The prototype currently generates t

Abstract Recent years have seen a number of competing theories of concepts within philosophy of mind, supplanting the classical definitionist and imagist accounts: among them, Jerry Fodor's informational atomism, Jesse Prinz's proxytypes theory, and -- of course -- Peter Gärdenfors' (2004) conceptual spaces theory (CST). On the whole there has been little empirical investigation into the competing
