In present hydrologic practice, it is generally recognized that the shallow overland sheet flow through the upper portions of a watershed is very slow, and that runoff gradually accelerates as it concentrates into gullies and, finally, streams. In this paper, the fractal concept is applied by testing whether a watershed's stream-and-swale system branches in a characteristic pattern that repeats itself into successively finer but similar segments. Commonly used geometric, geomorphologic, hydraulic, and hydrologic equations are combined to reduce the number of parameters. Kinematic wave equations are then developed for the runoff movement in the channels, and integrated to obtain an equation for the time of concentration.

Crossflow microfiltration (CFMF), is a pressure driven membrane process allowing better permeate flux by shearing action of flow. It can remove most of the impurities found In water and wastewater. But there are still major problems to be solved caused by fouling, deposition and internal clogging, which reduce the efficiency of separation. The pulsation cleaning technique is one of the methods used to avoid or minimise these drawbacks. Laboratory scale microfiltration using a clay suspension was carried out to study the effect of the pulsation cleaning technique on overall CFMF performance at various pulsation times of flux. It was found that the higher permeate flux was obtained when the operation of pulsation was more frequent. Also the study performed showed that this technique improved the permeate flux by 80%. © 1991.

SUMMARYA computational technique for obtaining minimum-time trajectories for robot manipulators is described in this paper. In the analysis, limitations to link movements due to design constraints are taken into consideration. Numerical examples based on a two-link planar robot arm shows the feasibility of the technique proposed. A physical explanation for the general characteristics of the observed trajectories is also presented. The importance of appreciating optimal control issues in designing robot manipulators and in planning robot workstation layouts is emphasised.

Laboratory freezing tests were performed on laterally confined samples of lightly overconsolidated fine grained soil, exposed to one-dimensional freezing at a constant temperature gradient. Pore water pressures and temperatures were measured at the perimeter of the specimens at various points along their height, during freezing and thawing. Vertical heave and water in- and outflow in the sample were also recorded. X-ray pictures were taken at various points during freezing to correlate ice lens formation to the measured data. Of particular interest were occurences of high pore water pressures shortly after the freezing front had stabilized. Subsequently cyclic increases and decreases of pore water pressures, and in- and outflow were observed. During thawing sudden temperature increases were accompanied by sudden decreases of pore water pressures. The hydraulic conductivity of the unfrozen fringe was directly determined from the measured pore water pressure and temperature profiles, records of water in- and outflow, and X-ray photographs.

View description>>

Mediation of cellular interactions by protein (lectin)-carbohydrate recognition presupposes the expression of respective surface determinants. Due to the importance of cellular contacts between bone marrow stromal cells, recently shown to express cell surface lectins, and tumor or normal progenitor cells for biosignaling and marrow egress, quantitation of cell surface sugar receptor expression by a panel of chemically glycosylated enzymes (tetrameric E. coli beta-galactosidase) for human leukemia/lymphoma cells was initiated. Cells of the new B lymphoblastoid line Croco II that are partially positive for the CD15-specific epitope expressed receptors for various sugar specificities on their surface, fulfilling an indispensable prerequisite for establishment of glycobiological interactions. Binding studies with increasing neoglycoenzyme concentrations up to saturation in four cases disclosed values for apparent affinity constants in the range of 25-200 nM with 0.25-3 x 10(5) bound probes per cell. The presence of receptors for constituents of carbohydrate chains of cellular glycoconjugates was also ascertained biochemically, namely for beta-galactosides, alpha-mannosides, alpha-fucosides and N-acetylgalactosaminides. Expression of this property was modulated by changes in the culture conditions, as revealed by binding studies with cells, derived from growth in medium containing different serum concentrations. These findings indicate that cell surface sugar receptors of tumor cells warrant further attention with respect to recognitive interactions.

This paper proposes a method of speech analysis using a new stochastic model. This model represents two different kinds of MA parts associated with pseudo‐periodical pulse train input and Gaussian process input. Therefore, the new model describes individually two different production models for voiced and unvoiced sound in the frequency domain and can precisely realize speech production models in comparison with an ARMA model. It has been shown from experimental results that the proposed stochastic model can extract more accurate characteristics of real speech than an ARMA model.

Determination of recombination rate coefficients is achieved through the measurement of gradients in the ionization fraction. © 1991 Springer-Verlag.

In many parts of the world, particularly in humid tropical regions, residual soils are abundant. In this paper the suitability of a residual lateritic soil as a construction material is investigated, with respect to its strength and compaction characteristics. In comparison with other typical construction fills available in Southeast Asia, compacted lateritic soils produce excellent shear strengths and CBR values. However, the brittleness and tensile cracking of this compacted material become enhanced on the dry side of the optimum moisture content, or if excessive compaction is imparted. Nevertheless, at a moisture content of 2% wetter than the optimum, the tensile mode of failure is suppressed and the lateritic fills become ideally suited for the construction of high embankments and impervious dam cores. © 1991 Chapman & Hall.

This paper is concerned with the influence of fly ash (pozzolanic) on the stabilization of a dispersive soil commonly found in northeast Thailand. The effect of various proportions of fly ash on the rate of erosion, dispersiveness, strength and frictional properties and the compaction and consolidation characteristics, are discussed. It is noted that in general the addition of fly ash not only inhibits erosion and dispersiveness but also contributes to a significant improvement in strength and deformation characteristics. Nevertheless, excessive quantities of fly ash (8%) generate diminishing returns and in fact promote segregation (erosion) of the stabilized soil again due to insufficient cohesion. Mineralogical studies based on X-ray diffraction analysis indicate that the reduction in the rate of erosion of the blended soil is associated with fine particle flocculation. The long term properties, however, are directly linked with the self-hardening nature of fly ash which contributes to time-dependent strengthening of the stabilized soil. © 1991 The Geological Society.

View description>>

This paper is concerned with the laboratory properties of a geotextile-reinforced compacted soft marine deposit with respect to its compaction, compressive strength, and time-dependent settlement characteristics. Two different geotextiles, namely, Polyfelt TS-500 (nonwoven) and Cardon SG PP 150 (woven) have been investigated. It was observed from the experimental study that a nonwoven geotextile contributes very differently as compared to a woven geotextile when placed within soft clay soils. This is because of the fact that the nonwoven Polyfelt fabric allows better drainage (dissipation of pore pressures) in comparison with the woven Cardon geotextile, particularly at high moisture contents. The compactibility of the reinforced sample is affected by the moisture content, number of fabric layers, and the type of geotextile. With the presence of geotextiles, the compressive strength of the soil is dictated not only by the internal mode of failure induced in the samples, but also by the spacing and the drainage capacity of the geotextile layers.

A new model for deep-bed filtration that considers the presence of medium size gradations and the variation of influent concentration with time is proposed. In formulating the model, the rate of filtration is assumed to be either enhanced or retarded by the deposited particles, and the increase in the headloss necessary to maintain a given flow is estimated from the Kozeny equation. Simulated filter performance based on the model was found to agree with pilot plant data on the filtration of clarified effluent from a water treatment plant.

Effects of four rates of lime applications to maize grown in 12 strongly acidic soils of southern Nigeria belonging to Ultisol and Inceptisol orders were studied under greenhouse conditions. Five of these soils (A1 saturation, 26%-33%; Ca saturation, 3%-16%) showed marked responses to lime with % relative yield (percentage of maximum yield) ranging from 5 to 73, 2 soils (A1 saturation, 1% and 5%; Ca saturation, 52% and 59%) showed no response (about 95% relative yield) and the remaining 5 soils (A1 saturation, 15%-28%; Ca saturation, 10%-31%) showed marginal responses (79% to 90% relative yield). Percent relative yield was highly correlated with initial soil values of % A1 saturation (r = 0.923), 0.02M CaCl2 soluble A1 (r = 0.906), % Ca saturation (r = 0.806) and exchangeable Ca (r = 0.729) and poorly correlated with soil pH (r = 0.559). Overall, A1 saturation, soluble Al, Ca saturation and exchangeable Ca values corresponding to 90% relative yield were 27%, 13 mg/L, 21% and 0.7 cmol(+)/kg, respectively. On an individual soil basis, near maximum yield was obtained when liming reduced the soil Al saturation to 25% and increased Ca saturation to 28%. No increase in yields was obtained by liming beyond pH 5.5. © 1991, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.

In DNA isolated from proliferating human lymphoblastoid CCRF-CEM cells which had been pulse-labeled by exposure to [3H]thymidine for periods from 30 s to 10 min, single-stranded regions were analyzed by caffeine-gradient elution from benzoylated DEAE-cellulose. Two classes of structural defect were evident. Some replicating DNA exhibited single-stranded regions of approximately 200 nucleotides, while most newly incorporated radioactivity was associated with DNA containing single-stranded regions from 900 to approximately 4000 nucleotides. The distribution of thymidine-derived radioactivity did not suggest sequential or preferential labeling of these DNA fractions as the incorporation time was varied. The findings may be correlated with recent proposals regarding the structural basis of eukaryotic DNA replication. © 1991.

In this study, we propose, based on the hypothesis of O'Melia-Ali and the use of the effective medium approximation theory, a new transient-state model and examine the effect of the media pore size distribution on filter performance. From the simulation results based on six different pore size distribution functions, it is clear that the pore size distribution plays an important role in determining the removal efficiency as well as headloss development

Laboratory experiments were carried out with pilot-scale experimental unit of Coarse Media Slow Sand Filter (CMSSF). A 2.7 m high filter column with a diameter of 0.56 m was operated with the filter media size of 1-2 mm and media depth of 1.0 m at filtration rates of 0.5 and 0.2 m3/m2h. This was connected to a circular concrete fish tank with a diameter of 1.16 m. The performance of CMSSF was compared with the 1.5 m × 1.0 m × 1.0 m Biological Filter (BF) operated at a filtration rate of 1.92 m3/m2h which was connected to 8 fish tanks. Experimental results showed that CMSSF has comparatively higher removal efficiency than BF for turbidity, total phosphorous, nitrogen and organic carbon. This study is an initial attempt to introduce CMSSF as a treatment unit in a recirculating aquaculture system which would be an economical solution to improve the water quality and production in aquaculture.

The range of ▿ ∧ (u ∧ B) is determined for an axisymmetric poloidal incompressible B and incompressible u, by solving ▿ ∧ (u ∧ B) = ▿ ∧ v for u, assumed to be confined to within a surface of revolution. Two constraints on V are shown to be necessary for the existence of solutions, viz that the integral of rç/|B| must vanish on each flux surface, and that the integral of v1 around any dosed field line must vanish. The construction of the general solution proves that the constraints are sufficient conditions, providing also that the second derivative, with respect to the poloidal flux function, of the volume contained by flux surfaces does not vanish. The general solution is stated for the homogeneous case, v = 0. For the particular case of poloidal v1 an integral property of the solution u is established.

The steady currents driven in a spherical plasma by a rotating magnetic field via the Hall effect are studied analytically. The total field is shown to be symmetric across the origin. Integral relationships are obtained between Ohmic dissipation, angular momentum and the oscillating axial current density. The topology of the sum of a Hill's vortex field and a rotating field is documented. Analytical solutions for the driven current are obtained by expansion for the limits corresponding to small rotation frequency, to small number density, to large rotating-field magnitude, to small resistivity, and to small rotating-field magnitude combined with very small resistivity. The latter solution, relevant to the reactor limit, indicates that, with control of the vertical field magnitude, an MHD equilibrium can be generated with total current any fraction of the currentcorresponding to synchronous rotation of the electrons. Oscillating currents sufficient to drive the synchronous current are determined.

This paper discusses the system for automatic design of the parallel/pipelined VLSI architecture based on the signal processing algorithm. A new design language is introduced into the proposed system. The language is defined so that the time variable used in the signal processing algorithm can easily be described. The system has a high modularity, and the modules can be combined into a hierarchical structure. By this scheme, the algorithm with a high complexity can easily be described. The algorithm inputted to the system may contain a backward time‐flow of the delayed data as well as a complex hierarchical structure, which makes it difficult to execute the data‐flow graph obtained directly from the algorithm by the parallel/pipelined structure. From such a viewpoint, this paper adopts the following procedure. The data‐flow graph is derived from the given algorithm. A sufficient parallelism and a highly efficient pipelined mechanism are extracted from the obtained graph. Then the parallel processing architecture is designed. As an example, a parallel/pipelined architecture is designed for a simple adaptive signal processing algorithm. The result is compared with the traditional design examples, and it is shown that the efficient data‐flow architecture is derived. Copyright © 1991 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., A Wiley Company

With a family of ideal radiation patterns, the theory for designing high-efficiency phase-correcting FZP (Fresnel zone plate) antennas is presented. The optimum 3-dB beamwidth of the feed pattern as a function of F/D (focal length/diameter) of the plate, the relation between the phase efficiency of the antenna and the number of subzones used in each full-wave zone, and the total efficiency limits of various versions are given. It is found that the maximum efficiency of a practical FZP antenna is usually less than 70%. The theory has been employed in designing a four-layer experimental FZP reflector antenna, and good agreement between the theoretical expectation and the measured value is obtained.

With the arrival of high power direct broadcasting satellites, there is an increasing demand for low-cost, environmentally unobtrusive antennas. An interesting candidate in this respect is the improved Fresnel zone plate, on which research is being carried out at the University of Bradford in colaboration with Mawzones Ltd. In this paper, a theoretical study on the focal field distributions of the simple Fresnel zone plate (FZP) antenna and its phase-correcting versions is reported.
