Abstract: Participatory modeling is commonly applied in climate change adaptation research to integrate stakeholder knowledge, beliefs, values, and norms into modeling processes. However, participation is not neutral, and current ...

Abstract: Archimedes screw generators (ASGs) are beginning to be widely adopted at low-head hydro sites in Europe due to their high efficiency, competitive costs, and low environmental impact. ASGs are particularly appropriate for ...

Abstract: Crusher run is a type of construction aggregate produced in a quarry by breaking down the rock to various sizes using a mechanical crusher. Scalping is an essential process for a quarry to produce a series of crusher run ...

Abstract: Previous hydraulic studies of Archimedes screw power generators (ASGs) have been mostly at laboratory scale. The validity of scaling up models based on these studies for application in field-scale ASGs has been a major ...

Abstract: Three laboratory-scale Archimedes screw generators were tested for their power production. They were tested at different inclination angles corresponding to their lengths in order to maintain a constant head for each screw. ...

Abstract: In this study, the incylinder soot and NOx trade off was investigated in a compression engine by implementing premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) coupled with low temperature combustion (LTC) for selected regimes ...

Abstract: There is essentially no experimental data on Archimedes screw pump performance available in the literature that is sufficiently detailed for model validation. Experiments were conducted on a laboratory scale (0.3-m diameter) ...

Abstract: A unique automated planetary boundary layer (PBL) retrieval algorithm is proposed as a common cross-platform method for use with commercially available ceilometers for implementation under the redesigned U.S. Environmental ...

Abstract: We explore the use of generalized polynomial chaos (GPC) expansion with stochastic collocation (SC) for modeling the uncertainty in the noise radiated by a plate subject to turbulent boundary layer (TBL) forcing. The SC ...
