Abstract: Radial turbines are used predominantly for turbo-charges where the geometry is frequently compromised to favor low fabrications costs. Theoretical as well as experimental investigations have shown ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel method of mapping the task space onto the joint space. This map divides the joint space into patches (disjointed regions) and an n ways accessible region ...

Abstract: The Circle of Willis (CoW) is a ringlike structure of blood vessels found at the base of the brain. Its main function is to distribute oxygen-rich arterial blood to the cerebral mass. In a ...

Abstract: Inflow cutoff, or turning off water inflow to an irrigated field based on water advance location downfield, is commonly used by irrigators as a means of reducing tail discharge (runoff) during surface irrigation of forage ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors propose a global–local methodology for optimizing the short-term operation of hydroelectric plants. The authors determine the tradeoffs between minimizing the daily release from the plant and ...

Abstract: Over the past decade, water-centric research has increasingly taken into consideration the interactions between the water cycle and the social, economic, and biogeophysical processes that drive watershed dynamics. In ...
