Liquid desiccant system (LDS) seem to be a promising technology. They can be used either as stand alone units or coupled with conventional vapor compression systems (Hybrid liquid desiccant system) for various applications involving dehumidification of air. Hybrid liquid desiccant systems have got more attention due to their higher COPs, lower regeneration temperature and better control over the supply conditions. However, it would be desirable to develop high performance stand alone liquid desiccant systems (SALDS) as they operate primarily on heat and require electricity only for driving the air blowers and liquid pumps. Developing novel designs of the absorber and the regenerator, and new thermodynamic cycles enabling use of SALDS are the prime themes of this book. ····· 10361114051

This kind of Geopolymeric materials possess intrinsic fire resistance due to their rigid 3-D aluminosilicate structure. Geopolymer specimens remains dimensionally stable at high temperature and provides good compressive strength also. The percentage of Na2O and SiO2/Na2O ratio affect development of internal pore structure of Geopolymers and subsequently its performance at elevated temperature. The characterisation of internal pore structure can be made by using simple experimentation like measuring water absorption, apparent porosity and water sorptivity as well as some sophisticated mineralogical and microstructure studies like SEM, XRD, MIP etc. also. This book records a huge experimental observations and explained intricate behavioural aspects of fly ash based geopolymer exposed elevated temperature.

However emissions and cost impacts of PHEVs are strictly connected with the power mix generation used to produce electricity and when their batteries are recharged. Potential effects of a PHEV fleet on the power grid have been analyzed under different charging strategies, obtaining a quantitative estimation of the additional load affecting the transmission grid. The environmental impact of these vehicles is estimated for the State of Ohio as well as for other different countries showing the great importance that generation technologies have on PHEVs final environmental performances. Cost analysis shows how these vehicles can obtain great operation cost reduction due to the decrease of gasoline consumption, proposing this technology as a possible solution for decrease oil dependency of the transport sector. ····· 10361113959

It is recognised that ensuring the stability of both natural and man-made slopes continues to be a fundamental issue in geotechnical engineering. There is no universally accepted method for the prevention or correction of landslides. The comparative performance of the various analyses has been carried out successfully using case studies. A visco-plastic flow model has been proposed to estimate lateral forces on piles used for slope stabilisation. Slope stabilisation due to the presence of a row of piles has been investigated using two distinct lateral load estimations. Eight well-known methods of slope stability analyses have been adopted and computer coded to re-calculate FOS values for a slope reinforced by a row of piles. The book is intended primarily for use in university courses, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The author also expects that the book will serve as valuable reference material for practising engineers. ····· 10361113951
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This monograph presents an artificial neural network (ANN) model for the analysis and assessment of infilled frames subjected to lateral loading. A multilayer feedforward network with backpropagation learning algorithm has been adopted to model the behaviour of infilled frames. Both reinforced concrete and steel frames were considered in the analysis. Based on a parametric study the optimum architecture of the network was arrived at, and it is observed that the trained networks are able to predict the failure loads and displacement of both reinforced concrete and steel infilled frames for all the test patterns satisfactorily. The equations which were formed based on a regression analysis between the predicted results and the actual results showed good agreement with new set of data. Hence, these equations can be used to obtain the actual capacity of the infilled frames. An experimental investigation also has been carried out in this monograph to check the efficacy of the developed model. The monograph focuses on the work carried by the first author at Anna University, Chennai, India as a part of her doctoral study. ····· 10361113949

Flow interference between the structures leads to a very high fluctuation of forces on the structures, structural vibrations, acoustic noise, or resonance, which in some cases can trigger failure, jeopardizing the residents` lives. In engineering, fluid-induced forces, flow structures and vortex shedding frequencies are the major factors to consider in the design of structures. The knowledge of flow around two fluid-dynamically interfering cylinders is insightful for understanding the flow around more structures. This book encompasses the advancement of knowledge in physics of flow around two circular cylinders in a cross flow, including steady and fluctuating fluid forces, surface pressure, Strouhal numbers, flow structures, wake characteristics, flow switching mechanisms, possible interaction mechanisms, instabilities, and correlations between forces, reattachments, phase of vortex-shedding, Strouhal numbers.

Recent studies on pilot-aided channel estimation, show that assuming a parametric channel model can effectively improve the estimate accuracy. The algorithms based on this model perform the frequency response estimation of a multipath environment through the knowledge of the tap-delay parameters. This work focuses on the estimation of the number of delays, required by the tap-delay estimators. For this purpose the state-of-the-art detection scheme is investigated over a static and a dynamic channel. Furthermore, it is compared with an approach based on a simple threshold operation. It`s shown that over the static channel, MDL exhibits a certain robustness against the time observation reduction, while the Threshold algorithm suffers from a signi cant increase in the estimate`s error. Tests over the dynamic channel show a general performances decrement. However MDL average error doesn`t drastically get worse as the Threshold one. The state-of-the-art performances then, are not exceeded, but the noticed problems still leave this topic open. ····· 10361113692

The purpose is to document the temporary changes in hearing encountered for each group member to convince them about the neccessity of protecting their hearing. To realise about the effects to being exposed to intense loud sounds, musicians are compared in terms of their hearing with a non-exposed population composed of twelve subjects who reported normal hearing function.

In the design of fixed offshore structures, as known, they are always attacked by severe environmental loads especially dynamic wave loads which govern the design factor of the platform. In addition, they are found sufficiently rigid to withstand environmental loads in the open sea. However, if soil stiffness under seabed is taken into account, we know that soil layers are not acting as perfectly stiff foundation. Nonlinearity of soil stiffness with its property may affect the global structural stiffness and it is a time-dependent function of total forces at pile head. Therefore, natural frequency of structure becomes nonlinear and it may increase structural response or induce resonance. For design purpose, this book will give distinctively useful ideas to professional design engineers or students who are interested in methodology for modeling of non-linear foundation system of offshore structure.

This distinction is based on the required amount of knowledge about the program`s internal component structure and behavior. Statistics-based fault localization techniques such as Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SFL) use abstraction of program traces (also known as program spectra) to find a statistical relationship between source code locations and observed failures. Although SFL`s modeling costs and computational complexity are minimal, its diagnostic accuracy is inherently limited since no reasoning is used. In contrast to SFL, model-based reasoning approaches use prior knowledge of the program, such as component interconnection and statement semantics, to build a model of the correct behavior of the system. On the one hand, model-based reasoning approaches deliver higher diagnostic accuracy, but on the other hand, they suffer from high computation complexity. ····· 10361113438
