Abstract: AbstractThe average predictability time (APT) method is used to identify the most predictable components of decadal sea surface temperature (SST) variations over the Southern Ocean (SO) in a 4000-yr unforced control run ...

Abstract: In most assembly tasks involving mating of parts, industrial robots are not equipped with special compliant devices such as a remote center compliant hand. It is useful to know how the mating ...

Abstract: Experiments have been done subjecting ashes from industrial-scale FBC boilers to sulphating conditions in an oven for up to 105 days. These show that sulphation by itself causes agglomeration ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the digital implementation and experimental evaluation of two adaptive controllers for robotic manipulators. The first is a continuous time model reference adaptive ...

Abstract: With growing understanding of the differences between solid residues from the fluidized bed combustion of petroleum coke and of coal, the significance of fuel-derived and sorbent-derived components ...

Abstract: An experimental system for single-phase gas flow in microtubes has been developed. The effects of viscous heating and compressibility on the flow and temperature field were studied for a wide ...
