Abstract:
AbstractA new homogeneous climate division monthly precipitation dataset [based on full network estimated precipitation (FNEP)] was created as an alternative to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) climate division dataset. These alternative climate division monthly precipitation values were estimated using an equal-weighted average of Cooperative Observer Program stations that contained serially complete time series. Missing station observations were estimated by a procedure that was optimized through testing on U.S. Historical Climate Network stations. Inhomogeneities in the NCDC dataset arise from two principal causes. The pre-1931 estimation of NCDC climate division monthly precipitation from statewide averages led to a significant time series discontinuity in several climate divisions. From 1931 to the present, NCDC climate division averages have been calculated from a subset of available station data within each climate division, and temporal changes in the location of available stations have caused artificial changes in the time series. The FNEP climate division dataset is recommended over the NCDC dataset for studies involving climate trends or long-term climate variability. According to the FNEP data, the 1895–2009 linear precipitation trend is positive across most of the United States, and trends exceed 10% per century across the southern plains and the Corn Belt. Remaining inhomogeneities from changes in gauge technology and station location may be responsible for an artificial trend of 1%–3% per century.

Abstract:
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has gained great attention in the next generation Long-Reach Passive Optical Network (LR-PON) due to its high spectrum efficiency, flexible resource allocation and natural compatibility with Digital Signal Processing (DSP)-based implementation. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a 40Gbit/s direct-detection long reach OFDM-PON system for downstream transmission over 100km standard signal mode fiber (SSMF). By using a simple Least Square (LS) method for the channel estimation, our proposed system achieves high bit rate without the need for chromatic dispersion compensation.

Abstract:
<p>A new proposal of blind channel estimation method for long term evoluation (LTE) based on combining advantages of denoising property of wavelet transform (WT) with blind estimation capability of independent component analysis (ICA) called wavelet denoising of ICA (WD-ICA) was presented. This new method increased the spectral efficiency compared to training based methods, and provided considerable performance enhancement over conventional ICA methods. The conventional blind channel estimation methods based on ICA were performed individually for each orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarrier. To reduce complexity of implementation of WD-ICA method, channel interpolation was used. This method was presented for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) downlink LTE system. WD-ICA method was compared to conventional ICA methods and the Performance was evaluated by calculating normalized mean square error (NMSE) and bit error rate (BER). WD-ICA method as compared to the other known ICA channel estimation methods has lower complexity, lower value of NMSE, and lower value of BER, which indicates the superiority of the proposed method.</p>

Abstract:
Multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) is one of the most attractive method for future broadband wireless systems and long term evolution (LTE) standard. The performance of MC-CDMA systems is greatly deteriorated by carrier frequency offset (CFO) which is due to oscillator instability and Doppler shifts. CFO leads to loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers and introduces intercarrier interference (ICI). Among the numerous ICI cancellation techniques, the proposed receiver phase rotated conjugate cancellation (RPRCC) offers greater ICI reduction compared to other methods. The distributed nature of networks and concurrent transmission from multiple users in uplink, RPRCC needs multiple frequency offset estimation at the receiver. Multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm is the best suited CFO estimation technique in multiuser environment. However the performance of MUSIC algorithm is inferior for closely spaced CFOs. To achieve precise CFO estimation and greater ICI reduction, RPRCC with conjugate weighted MUSIC based CFO estimation is proposed in this paper. The simulation results depict that the ICI power reduction capability and BER performance of the suggested method outperforms the conventional techniques in both properly and closely spaced CFOs.

Abstract:
Collegiate football may provide advertising for universities, attracting larger pools of applicants and leading to more academically qualified student bodies. Football may also build school spirit, reducing attrition and improving long-run graduation rates. This analysis uses data from 2001 to 2004 for available National Collegiate Athletic Association Division-1 institutions to examine the advertising and effectiveness effects of football. Using both general linear model and linear-in-means model estimation procedures, we find strong advertising and effectiveness effects for football in the full sample. Among schools fielding a football team, the impact of Football Bowl Subdivision and winning percentage is muddy; however, the advertising effect of bowl appearances is strong.

Abstract:
Abstract. In this paper, a fourth-order Kalman filter (KF) algorithm is implemented in the wireless sensor node to estimate the temperatures of the stator winding, the rotor cage and the stator core in the induction machine. Three separate wireless sensor nodes are used as the data acquisition systems for different input signals. Six Hall sensors are used to acquire the three-phase stator currents and voltages of the induction machine. All of them are processed to root mean square (rms) in ampere and volt. A rotary encoder is mounted for the rotor speed and Pt-1000 is used for the temperature of the coolant air. The processed signals in the physical unit are transmitted wirelessly to the host wireless sensor node, where the KF is implemented with fixed-point arithmetic in Contiki OS. Time-division multiple access (TDMA) is used to make the wireless transmission more stable. Compared to the floating-point implementation, the fixed-point implementation has the same estimation accuracy at only about one-fifth of the computation time. The temperature estimation system can work under any work condition as long as there are currents through the machine. It can also be rebooted for estimation even when wireless transmission has collapsed or packages are missing.

Abstract:
In this study, a deep learning bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) recurrent neural network-based channel state information estimator is proposed for 5G orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The proposed estimator is a pilot-dependent estimator and follows the online learning approach in the training phase and the offline approach in the practical implementation phase. The estimator does not deal with complete a priori certainty for channels’ statistics and attains superior performance in the presence of a limited number of pilots. A comparative study is conducted using three classification layers that use loss functions: mean absolute error, cross entropy function for kth mutually exclusive classes and sum of squared of the errors. The Adam, RMSProp, SGdm, and Adadelat optimisation algorithms are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator using each classification layer. In terms of symbol error rate and accuracy metrics, the proposed estimator outperforms long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network-based channel state information, least squares and minimum mean square error estimators under different simulation conditions. The computational and training time complexities for deep learning BiLSTM- and LSTM-based estimators are provided. Given that the proposed estimator relies on the deep learning neural network approach, where it can analyse massive data, recognise statistical dependencies and characteristics, develop relationships between features and generalise the accrued knowledge for new datasets that it has not seen before, the approach is promising for any 5G and beyond communication system.

There is also the little interest of several of them for mathematical content in General. Considering this reality, noted a need to seek innovations, finding ways to stimulate this learning curriculum component. Over the years, researched some methods and algorithms to multiply and divide natural numbers. Testing several of them over the years, the classroom experience pointed out the Lattice and the Long Division with Estimation as potentially motivating algorithms for arithmetic operations, by format and for simplicity. The aim of this work was to carry out an action research in a class of sixth grade of elementary school, involving the use of these two algorithms, evaluating motivational aspects and learning during the trial. Initially, were applied in that class a test to evaluate the motivation for studying mathematics and a pre-test, where if asked to solve simple issues of multiplication and division of natural numbers, the way each student wanted. After this step, some activities were carried out, using the above algorithms. Finally, we conducted a post-test and was reapplied the test of motivation, which granted the necessary data to the conclusions of the research. The resemblance to the traditional "Tic-Tac-Toe", the Lattice was introduced as a handmade board game, which stimulated competition and generated a lot of interest in most. The long division with estimation already used in most movements, the subtraction, what is a content well assimilated by students in this age group and educational level, since, typically, these students have a better development of thought. So I received a lot of attention from students, who have improved their concepts of orders (units, tens, hundreds), to better carry out the algorithm. Based on the questionnaire assessed the motivation to study mathematics, it was possible to observe not only the improvement of the interest in the various activities involving Mathematical content, but also an increase of confidence and credibility in the relationship between teacher x student. The approach has yielded satisfactory results. This kind of experience can leave as a legacy to students for the abandonment of the initial bad impression you might have regarding the arithmetic and, often, removing the fear and disgust in having to do the math, replacing this feeling of security generated by the domain in a differentiated way to solve problems that require multiplication and division. Moreover this experience can increase the ability of the students to absorb the multiplicative principle, paving the way for it to deepen the learning in this field of knowledge.<br>Em uma das redes p?blicas de ensino em que o autor atua como professor, v?rios alunos chegam ao in?cio do segundo segmento do Ensino Fundamental sem dominar as quatro opera??es aritm?ticas b?sicas e, especificamente, com muitas dificuldades na multiplica??o e na divis?o de n?meros naturais.

Pela semelhan?a com o tradicional "Jogo da Velha", a Gelosia foi introduzida como um jogo de tabuleiro artesanal, o que estimulou a competi??o e gerou muito interesse na maioria. J? a divis?o americana usou, na maioria dos movimentos, a subtra??o, que ? um conte?do bem assimilado por alunos nesta faixa et?ria e de escolaridade, uma vez que, normalmente, esses alunos possuem um melhor desenvolvimento do pensamento aditivo. Por isso recebeu muita aten??o dos alunos, que aprimoraram seus conceitos de ordens (unidade, dezena, centena), para melhor desempenhar o algoritmo. Baseado no question?rio que avaliou a motiva??o para estudar Matem?tica, foi poss?vel n?o s? observar a melhora do interesse pelas diversas atividades que envolvem o conte?do de Matem?tica, como tamb?m um aumento de confian?a e credibilidade na rela??o professor x aluno.

Aritm?tica e, por muitas vezes, retirando o medo e repulsa em ter que fazer contas, substituindo este sentimento pela seguran?a gerada pelo dom?nio de uma forma diferenciada de resolver problemas que exigem multiplica??o e divis?o. Al?m disso, tal experi?ncia pode aumentar a capacidade dos alunos em absorver o princ?pio multiplicativo, abrindo caminho para que se aprofunde a aprendizagem neste campo de conhecimento.

Abstract:
A set of observations from a random process which exhibit correlations that decay slower than an exponential rate is regarded as long-range dependent. This phenomenon has stimulated great interest in the scientific community as it appears in a wide range of areas of knowledge. For example, this property has been observed in data pertaining to electronics, econometrics, hydrology and biomedical signals.There exist several estimation methods for finding model parameters that help explain the set of observations exhibiting long-range dependence. Among these methods, maximum likelihood is attractive, given its desirable statistical properties such as asymptotic consistency and efficiency. However, its computational complexity makes the implementation of maximum likelihood prohibitive.This thesis presents a group of computationally efficient estimators based on the maximum likelihood framework. The thesis consists of two main parts. The first part is devoted to developing a computationally efficient alternative to the maximum likelihood estimate. This alternative is based on the circulant embedding concept and it is shown to maintain the desirable statistical properties of maximum likelihood.Interesting results are obtained by analysing the circulant embedding estimate. In particular, this thesis shows that the maximum likelihood based methods are ill-conditioned; the estimators' performance will deteriorate significantly when the set of observations is corrupted by errors. The second part of this thesis focuses on developing computationally efficient estimators with improved performance under the presence of errors in the observations.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a novel method to solve the problem of estimating the carrier frequency set in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. The approach is based on the minimization of the probability of symbol error. Hence, this approach is called the Minimum Symbol Error Rate (MSER) approach. An existing approach based on Maximum Likelihood (ML) is chosen to benchmark the performance of the MSER-based algorithm. The MSER approach is computationally intensive. The thesis evaluates the approximations that can be made to the MSER-based objective function to make the computation tractable. A modified gradient function based on the MSER objective is developed which provides better performance characteristics than the ML-based estimator. The estimates produced by the MSER approach exhibit lower Mean Squared Error compared to the ML benchmark. The performance of MSER-based estimator is simulated with Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) symbols, but the algorithm presented is applicable to all complex symbol constellations.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-94).<br>The USA healthcare industry has recently undergone significant pressure to become competitive and think innovatively due to its increased growth as a percentage of the GDP, which was as much as 14. 1% in 2001. Additionally hospitals are faced with an estimated nursing shortage of 600,000 by 2020, and with an aging patient base that demands better quality at a lower cost. Specifically, hospitals tie up as much as 35% of their budgets in inventory and in the required labour to manage it. Moreover, future improvements will necessarily require a solution beyond statistically sound inventory policies and software packages. The contribution of this thesis is to provide an analysis of "Long Term Value Added Partnerships" and their role in enabling innovative and trust based vendor - hospital inventory supply relationships as a suggestive solution for the healthcare industry. The study included two hospitals leading the way in such relationships with a leading healthcare vendor in the USA market. The conducted literature review helps understand the benefits and implications of attempting to establish long term value added partnerships in the healthcare industry. From describing the pressures and the traditional mindset of hospitals towards inventory practices, the study moves on to explain two inventory management methodologies widely used across different industries, and it finally provides an account of the drivers and potential pitfalls of strategic alliances which are information intensive in nature.<br>(cont.) The research framework is followed by a detailed description of the methodology used while conducting field observations, 47 interviews and data analysis of the visited hospitals. Subsequently the research findings are presented and supported by graphical representations of both the soft and hard data collected. Finally the thesis conclusion is given in the form of a list of recommendations to be adopted by both healthcare vendors and hospitals.<br>by Jorge Miguel dos Santos Fradinho Duarte Oliveira.<br>M.Eng.in Logistics

A correlation analysis is conducted to identify explanatory variables that capture predictable sources of delay and influence run times for use in a regression model. A regression model is proposed utilizing the following explanatory variables: rolling historical average, congestion window, meets, passes, overtakes, direction, arrival headway, and departure headway to predict train run times. The performance of the proposed regression model is compared against a baseline simple historical averaging technique for a two year period of actual train operational data. The proposed regression model, though subject to specific limitations, offers substantial improvements in accuracy over the baseline technique and is recommended as justifying further exploration by the railroad to ultimately enable more accurate train schedules with subsequent improvements in railroad capacity, customer service, and asset utilization.<br>by Kunal Bonsra and Joseph Harbolovic.<br>M.Eng.in Logistics

Abstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-222).<br>This dissertation presents empirical findings related to two aspects of long-range planning: scenario planning as a planning method and cognition of planners. Long-range planning situations are encountered when designing public infrastructures (e.g. transportation systems) as well as developing strategies for corporate enterprises (e.g. firms' supply chains), due to the long implementation times and/or long lives of the invested assets. Such investments tend to have high stakes, face extreme uncertainty about the future environment they encounter, and have an open-systems nature as the implementation and operation of assets affects and is affected by the actions of many and diverse stakeholders. Three research questions pertaining to these aspects are answered in this work as three stand-alone studies. The first study (Chapter 2) examines the effects of scenario planning on long-range investment decisions made by field experts. The results of three field experiments show that experts systematically change their investment decisions and/or their confidence in them after evaluating the investments in a scenario. Field experts are also more likely to invest in flexible strategies after being exposed to multiple scenarios. The second study (Chapter 3) presents an extensive and an abridged version of the scenario creation process. Instead of seeing scenario-creation as an art, this research provides two versions of a more engineered scenario-creation process, and demonstrates their application in two separate field studies. Both versions of the process are presented with detailed instructions and rationale for performing each step. This study also provides clear definitions of the terms used in the process description and grounds them in the organizations literature. The third study (Chapter 4) explores the relationship between a manager's perceptions and beliefs about future environment, and the strategies s/he recommends. Using a prospective research design, this study first tests three hypotheses about general characteristics of managerial cognition. A closer look at different cognitive types in this data reveals unsuspected patterns in strategic thinking of managers of different types. A typology of managerial cognition is built using this inherent variation. Inductive analysis shows that managers of different cognitive types envision strikingly different types of strategies.<br>by Shardul Sharad Phadnis.<br>Ph.D.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M. in Technology and Policy)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2010.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 103-108).<br>Human Systems Integration (HSI) is the interdisciplinary technical and management processes for integrating human considerations within and across all system elements. The goal of this research is to develop a better understanding of how the costs of doing HSI work within a program can be estimated. The research is divided into two parts. In the first part, problem formulation, literature from several relevant domains is first reviewed. Next a descriptive case study is conducted on the development of the Pratt and Whitney F 119 engine. It examines activities done to support HSI up to engineering and manufacturing development and concludes that, among other factors, HSI in requirements are a major driver of effort. This conclusion leads to work on the integration of HSI into the counting of requirements for an existing systems engineering cost model. In the second part of the research, implementation and validation, two workshops are conducted to assess how HSI considerations are addressed in real-world requirements engineering. The first workshop tests existing requirements counting guidelines, identifies weakness, and suggests improvement. The second workshop applies the Wideband Delphi method to generate consensus between stakeholders in order to deliver a quantitative estimate of HSI effort. The workshop also demonstrates that stakeholders perceive functional and nonfunctional requirements as driving effort in similar ways, a conclusion that challenges a widely-held belief that nonfunctional requirements are less significant than functional ones.

Abstract:
The circular cylinder pipe is extensively used for the supplement of the gas. The leakage of this gas induces the catastrophic problem when it leases into open area in the city without any monitoring. A correlation method has been mostly used for the detection of the leakage. It is needed a good coherence and an efficient energy transmission to the external sensors for the reliable estimation of the correlation. This paper investigated theoretically the propagation of the acoustic wave of the circular cylinder pipe containing the gas in a pipe for the development of the leakage monitoring system. The acoustic wave is propagated through the waveguide of the circular pipe with the characteristics acoustically coupled by the gas contained in a cylinder and the shell. However, as a special case, the acoustic waves in a metal pipe containing gas are corresponded closely to the uncoupled in-vacuo shell waves and to the rigid-wall duct fluid waves. In this case, the dominant acoustic energy can be estimated at the frequencies in which coincidence between the shell modes and the acoustic modes occurs. In the paper, the characteristics of the dominant waves are theoretically investigated and analyzed experimenttally with a long steel pipe. The measured data is clearly analyzed by the continuous wavelet transform and by spectral density analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus of this paper is on the verification and validation of the numerical solutions of flow due to an infinitely long oscillating wall with periodic cavities. The wall was allowed to oscillate sinusoidally with the fluid initially at rest. This wall motion set up an interesting pattern of vortex entrainment and ejection from the cavity. The problem was numerically modeled with a commercial CFD code, FLUENT v 6.2.16. To circumvent the need for a moving mesh, a reference frame attached to the wall was used. For numerical uncertainty estimation, the Grid Convergence Index (GCI) method was used for both temporal and spatial resolutions at a Reynolds Number (based on the cavity height) of 200. The spatial grid resolution study was done at different time-steps (in the oscillation cycle) on the cross-streamwise velocity on a plane connecting the two open edges of the cavity (lip of the cavity). For this parameter, a local mesh size was used to calculate the GCI with 20, 40 and 80 node points. With the cavity at rest, low GCI percentages (less than 1%) were observed on this parameter for the fine grid solution. As the cavity began to accelerate, some discrete points on the cavity lip plane showed higher GCI percentages (some even as high as 100%); the higher uncertainties were associated with very small velocities (close to zero). The numerical uncertainty on the shear stress on the lower wall as well as on the mass efflux from the cavity over an oscillation cycle were also estimated using the GCI and were observed to be very low numbers (global variables). Validation was done by comparing the results to (1) The Stokes’ second problem and (2) a few similar experimental and numerical results published in the literature.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, we are presenting a novel approach to estimate fatigue levels of train conductors, by analyzing the speech signal. An independent neural network joined with a Markov Model, will output the probability density, which illustrates the likelihood of the result of the first step to be accurate. Vigilance research has shown that, for most operators engaged in attention-intensive and monotonous tasks, retaining a constant level of alertness is almost impossible. Sleeping disorders, reduced hours of rest and disrupted circadian rhythms amplify this effect and lead to significantly increased fatigue levels. Increased fatigue levels manifest themselves in alterations of speech metrics, as compared to alert states of mind. To make a decision about the level of fatigue, we are proposing an alertness estimation system which uses speech metrics to generate a fatigue quotient indicative of the fatigue level. A speech pre-processor extracts metrics such as speech duration, word production rate and speech intensity from a continuous speech signal and uses a Fuzzy Logic algorithm to generate the fatigue quotient at any moment in time when speech is present. However, the nature of human interaction introduces levels of uncertainty, which make fatigue level recognition difficult. In other words, even with a perfectly trained neural network and Fuzzy Logic algorithm, we cannot make definite conclusions about the level of alertness. The reason being, that there is no guarantee that the estimated level of alertness is robust for a certain amount of time and didn’t come from drinking half a cup of coffee. Moreover, coming up with a perfect model of speech-fatigue (i.e. input-output) for humans, to train the Fuzzy algorithm is almost impossible. For this reason the study of “Risk and Uncertainty” is an integral part of this research. Motivated by the distinction between “risk” (randomness that can be fully captured by probability and statistics) and “uncertainty” (all other types of randomness), we propose a fine taxonomy: fully reducible, partially reducible, and irreducible uncertainty, that can explain some of the key differences between long term alertness and a short term change of state that makes the operator alert. An experimental study is conducted where a hyper articulated speech signal with three different levels of simulated fatigue is analyzed by the algorithm and a probability density function is assigned to the fatigue quotient to take the risk and uncertainty into account and make the overall result more reliable.

Abstract:
The increasing request for pollutant emissions reduction spawned a great deal of research in the field of combustion control and monitoring. As a matter of fact, newly developed low temperature combustion strategies for Diesel engines allow obtaining a significant reduction both in particulate matter and NOx emissions, combining the use of high EGR rates with a proper injection strategy. Unfortunately, due to their nature, these innovative combustion strategies are very sensitive to in-cylinder thermal conditions. Therefore, in order to obtain a stable combustion, a closed-loop combustion control methodology is needed. Many works demonstrate that a closed-loop combustion control strategy can be based on real-time analysis of in-cylinder pressure trace, that provides important information about the combustion process, such as start of combustion, center of combustion and torque delivered by each cylinder. Nevertheless, cylinder pressure sensors on-board installation is still uncommon, due to problems related to unsatisfactory measurement long term reliability and cost. This paper presents a newly developed approach that allows extracting information about combustion effectiveness through the analysis of engine vibrations. In particular, the developed methodology can be used to obtain an accurate estimation of the indicated quantities of interest combining the information provided by engine speed fluctuations measurement and by the signals coming from acceleration transducers mounted on the engine. This paper also reports the results obtained applying the whole methodology to a light-duty turbocharged Common Rail Diesel engine.

Abstract:
The relationship between the pressure drag of a Tayler-Couette flow over rough structures including semi-sphere shaped, conically-shaped and painting irregularly distributed on a wall surface was investigated experimentally. A concentric cylinder device composed of an inner test cylinder and an outer cylinder was employed. The 2-dimensional roughness height of painting surfaces are measured by inline profile measuring instrument, and the roughness curve and the probability density function (PDF) of 2-dimensional roughness height can be obtained at the same time. Then, the 3-dimensional roughness surface can be modeled by the “Set of Multi dispersed Cone Model” which is characterized by the PDF of 2-dimensional peak heights. The PDF of 3-dimensional roughness can be calculated based on bayesian estimation method. After that, the total friction irregular roughness surface can be estimated by summing the contribution of cones composing the SMCM. For the verification of estimation, the estimated value was compared with the measured friction. As a result, it was found that prediction results of five cylinders with sand-grain type roughness by present estimation method agree very well with experiment results, except for one cylinder with relatively smooth and long wave length wavy.

Abstract:
Abstract The present paper presents some experimental and numerical modeling of the Newtonian and viscoelastic flows in bifurcated configurations of pipes, for stationary and non-permanent regimes. The main purpose of this study is to select an optimal design of the pipes ramifications, for minimizing the local pressure losses and to improve the efficiency of fluid transportation. The method is based on the transformation of the flow field obtained with particle image visualization technique, for different Reynolds numbers. Based on experimental results will be established optimum geometry of the ramifications. The results will be used as the boundary conditions for numerical modeling. The experimental measurements were performed into a closed circuit of pipes, with different diameters, consisting of a centrifugal pump supplied by a tank, sensors for estimating the pressure losses and devices for measuring the flow rate. It is detailed presented in a dedicated paragraph. The main pipe is connected to a transparent bifurcation with branches at different angles from the main pipe axis. The measurements illustrate that the flow has different aspects, depending on the bifurcation’s angle. The numerical simulations are performed with Fluent CFD based on the volume numerical method, to obtain the Navier-Stokes solutions for the Newtonian model in the laminar or turbulent flow conditions. A pre-processor has been used to create the geometry of the bifurcation and to generate the mesh. The 3D-flow domain contains 944390 volumes, tetrahedral hybrid. It was obtained the numerical solutions of the fluid flow in branching pipes for the Reynolds numbers from 1000 up to 40000. The governing equations were assumed from the k-ε model for turbulence flow, the equation of continuity, equation of fluid motion, and the transport equation. Finally, some conclusions and references are presented.

Abstract:
In 2006, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles adopted the final San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), initiating a broad range of programs intended to improve the air quality of the port and rail yard communities in the South Coast Air Basin. As a result, the Technology Advancement Program (TAP) was formed to identify, evaluate, verify and accelerate the commercial availability of new emissions reduction technologies for emissions sources associated with port operations, [1]. Container drayage truck fleets, an essential part of the port operations, were identified as the second largest source of NOx and the fourth largest source of diesel PM emissions in the ports’ respective 2010 emissions inventories [2, 3]. In response, TAP began to characterize drayage truck operations in order to provide drayage truck equipment manufacturers with a more complete understanding of typical drayage duty cycles, which is necessary to develop emissions reduction technologies targeted at the drayage market. As part of the broader TAP program, the Ports jointly commissioned TIAX LLC to develop a series of drayage truck chassis dynamometer test-cycles. These cycles were based on the cargo transport distance, using vehicle operational data collected on a second-by-second basis from numerous Class 8 truck trips over a period of two weeks, while performing various modes of typical drayage-related activities. Distinct modes of operation were identified; these modes include creep, low-speed transient, high-speed transient and high-speed cruise. After the modes were identified, they were assembled in order to represent typical drayage operation, namely, near-dock operation, local operation and regional operation, based on cargo transport distances [4]. The drayage duty-cycles, thus developed, were evaluated on a chassis dynamometer at West Virginia University (WVU) using a class 8 tractor powered by a Mack MP8-445C, 13 liter 445 hp, and Model Year (MY) 2011 engine. The test vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art emissions control system meeting 2010 emissions regulations for on-road applications. Although drayage trucks in the San Pedro Bay Ports do not have to comply with the 2010 heavy-duty emissions standards until 2023, more than 1,000 trucks already meet that standard and are equipped with diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology as used in the test vehicle. An overview of the cycle evaluation work, along with comparative results of emissions between integrated drayage operations, wherein drayage cycles are run as a series of shorter tests called drayage activities, and single continuous drayage operation cycles will be presented herein. Results show that emissions from integrated drayage operations are significantly higher than those measured over single continuous drayage operation, approximately 14% to 28% for distance-specific NOx emissions. Furthermore, a similar trend was also observed in PM emissions, but was difficult to draw a definite conclusion since PM emissions were highly variable and near detection limits in the presence of DPF. Therefore, unrepresentative grouping of cycle activity could lead to over-estimation of emissions inventory for a fleet of drayage vehicles powered by 2010 compliant on-road engines.

Abstract:
During the process of petroleum production and transportation, equipment such as pumps and chokes will cause shear effects which break the dispersed droplets into smaller size. The smaller droplets will influence the separator process significantly and the droplet size distribution has become a critical criterion for separator design. In order to have a better understanding of the separation efficiency, estimation of the dispersed-phase droplet size distribution is very important. The objective of this paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the effect of shear imparted on oil-water flow by centrifugal pump. This paper presents available published models for the calculation of droplet size distribution caused by different production equipment. Also detailed experimental data for droplet size distribution downstream of a centrifugal pump are presented. Rosin-Rammler and Log-Normal Distributions utilizing dmax Pereyra (2011) model as well as dmin Kouba (2003) model are used in order to evaluate the best fit distribution function to simulate the cumulative droplet size distribution. The results confirm that applying dmax Pereyra (2011) model leads to Rosin-Rammler distribution is much closer to the experimental data for low shear conditions, while the Log-Normal distribution shows better performance for higher shear rates. Furthermore, the predictions of Modified Kouba (2003) dmin model show good results for predicting the droplet distribution in centrifugal pump, and even better predictions under various ranges of experiments are achieved with manipulating cumulative percentage at minimum droplet diameter F(Dmin).

Abstract:
Two-phase slug flow pattern is one of the most common flow patterns present in many industries, therefore its study becomes relevant. The aim of this work was to develop an automated computational program to determine the bubble gas velocity associated to gas-liquid two-phase slug flow by using video digital image processing technique. In order to obtain the images for the analysis, experiments were carried out using a pipe bench for air-water two-phase flow. The experimental facility is located in Simon Bolivar University, in Venezuela. The system has three pipes with different internal diameters and can be rotated around its axis and fixed at any inclination angle from horizontal to vertical flow. The tests were run in a horizontal pipeline of 0.03175m of internal pipe diameter and 8m long. For slug flow visualization a high speed camera Kodak Ektapro 4540mx imager was used. The camera was located in an x/D relation corresponding to 249 from the pipe inlet, ensuring the complete development of the flow. The camera allowed a maximum acquisition velocity of 4500 frames per second. The superficial velocity range was 0.16–1.79m/s and 0.16–1.26m/s for air and water, respectively. To summarize, 165 tests were performed and 1320000 images were analyzed with 20 flow rate combinations. The computational application was validated by comparing it with the velocities measured manually over selected images. Results obtained were compared to several correlations such as Bendiksen [1], Cook &amp; Behnia [2] and Wang et al. [3].

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the behavior of a long list of economic variables during episodes of recovery from an economic collapse. A set of stylized facts is proposed so as to depict what in this work is called \saygrowth recoveries. Through different estimation techniques, it is inferred under which conditions and policies the likelihood of experiencing a growth recovery increases. The results of the paper indicate that collapses tend to occur in countries with high dependence on natural resource rents, macroeconomic mismanagement, low levels of democratic accountability and rule of law and high levels of conflict. Recoveries, on the other hand, tend to be longer than collapses and are more likely to occur in contexts of: improved external conditions, less natural resource rents, balanced fiscal accounts, where the exchange rate corrects but within a more fixed exchange rate regime and a more restricted financial account, and where there are: rebounds in private consumption, increases in international trade and improvements on property rights.
