Abstract: Although canal control automation has been generally disregarded in the irrigation modernization projects in Spain, regulation reservoirs formed part of most projects. Recent projects combining storage reservoirs with ...

Abstract: Ultrasonic atomization is a very convenient method to produce sprays of very small droplets. Resulting droplet size distributions are very narrow and the mean diameter is essentially only ...

Abstract: An adaptive control algorithm applicable to nonminimum phase, discrete, linear, time invariant systems is presented. This algorithm does not require solving a Bezout identity at each sampling ...

Abstract: 2-yr-long daily gridded field of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Atlantic centered for the year 2013 is projected onto orthogonal components: its mean, six harmonics of the year cycle, the slow-varying contribution, ...

Abstract: There is renewed interest in developing calibration methods for gates operating in submerged conditions in irrigation canals. In the present study, a new method based on a generalization of the standard energy-momentum ...

Abstract: Forcespinning is a novel method that makes use of centrifugal forces to produce nanofibers rapidly and at high yields. To improve and enhance the forcespinning production method, a 2D computational forcespinning inviscid ...

Abstract: Current civil engineering education should address the need to provide a broad vision, develop the higher-order skills of future civil engineers, enable them to adopt emerging technologies, and formulate innovative solutions ...

Abstract: Although current structural design philosophy privileges the notion of structural regularity, contemporary architecture includes building irregularities. Often, conventional structural design is forced on nonconventional ...
