Multi-path planning for hydraulic fluid routing
No full textThesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2018.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-77).In this thesis, I designed, implemented, and optimized an algorithm to solve the circuit-routing problem, optimizing the solution for exact correctness in a low aspect ratio scenario, as opposed to approximate correctness in high aspect ratio scenarios, where topological approaches are typically applied. I applied this algorithm to 3D printed hydraulically actuated robots, though it has additional applications in circuit routing for PCB assembly, FPGA interconnect optimization, fiber optic routing, and other routing applications. The performance of the algorithm is discussed, profiled, and tuned from an algorithmic perspective, with further improvements suggested. The effect of starting conditions on the performance of the algorithm is discussed theoretically and analyzed in real-world performance. Overall, the algorithm is shown to provide exactly correct results and perform adequately over a range of starting conditions useful for 3D printed hydraulic fluid pipes.by Landon Carter.M. Eng
Reaproveitamento de águas residuais, tratadas por fitopurificação, para a irrigação do jardim botânico “o jardim Landon” (Biskra, Argélia). Solução sustentável para preservação de patrimônio material
No full textThe green spaces of the city of Biskra (Algeria) resist the arid climate of the summer season and therefore suffer from water scarcity caused mainly by evaporation and transpiration of the plants. To remedy this problem, the study suggests to reuse the sewage for irrigation after being purified, using constructed wetlands with improved capacity by phytoremediation. As an example of a sustainable solution, it is proposed to apply this technique to the botanical garden of the city of Biskra (Algeria), «le jardin Landon». The design of a Constructed Wetland system is proposed. The Landon Garden was created in 1870 by Count Landon of Longueville, decorated with a variety of flora from the tropics and the Equatorial countries. It is currently considered as national material heritage.Los espacios verdes de la ciudad de Biskra resisten el clima árido de la temporada de verano y, por lo tanto, sufren de escasez de agua, causada principalmente por la evaporación y transpiración de las plantas.

Spatially-localized time dependent solutions including turbulence and their interactions in 2D Kolmogorov flow
No full textIn 2D Kolmogorov flow in small aspect ratio domains, spatially-localized solutions such as kink, traveling or time-dependent kink-antikink pars coexist. However, the conservation of the flow rate in the y direction strongly restrict combination of localized solutions and their positioning. We find that by adding a homogeneous flow U y their positioning is controlled and each of localized solutions including a spatially-localized chaos is isolated. Numerical results suggest that these isolated solutions can be elements constructing a whole flow
Characteristics of overlap region in high-Reynolds number turbulent channel flow
No full textDirect numerical simulation of the fully developed turbulent channel flows have been carried out at the Reynolds number based on the friction velocity and the channel half width, 2000, 4000 and 8000. A hybrid 10th order accurate finite difference scheme in the stream and spanwise directions, and a second-order scheme in the wall-normal direction is adapted as the spatial discretization method. We observed the plateau profiles in the indicator function corresponded to the von Karman constant. Furthermore, second peak of streamwise pre-multiplied spectra were appeared in the same wall normal height, 300 < y+ < 600, in case of Re = 4000. Nevertheless, the effects of the lager than the channel half height scale on the streamwise turbulent intensity are fixed contributions without dependence on Reynolds number. These results suggested that the new streamwise vortexes are formed between buffer layer and outer layer with increasing of Reynolds number
Estudio de valorización energética de los sarmientos de vid para su utilización en una caldera de biomasa en la bodega Alto Landon
No full text[ES] El objetivo de este Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) es la valorización energética de los sarmientos procedentes de la poda de la vid en la Finca Alto Landon situada en el término municipal de Landete (Cuenca).
El sarmiento es una biomasa agrícola leñosa producida anualmente por los viñedos. Este residuo tiene un poder calorífico aprovechable y unas excelentes propiedades fisicoquímicas como biocombustibles sostenible y renovable.
La finca consta de 250 ha de viñedos y una bodega de elaboración de vino. Los residuos procedentes de la poda de las vides son eliminados mediante la quema a pie de campo con los problemas medioambientales y pérdida de recursos que esto genera.
El estudio analizará las diferentes alternativas viables para la recogida del residuo en campo hasta seleccionar la más eficiente tanto técnica como económicamente. Tras la recogida y acondicionamiento del material para su transporte y uso como biocombustible, éste se almacenaría en planta.
Actualmente, la bodega tiene unos requerimientos térmicos que se suplen mediante una caldera de gasoil. La bodega se calefacciona durante varios meses al año para poder realizar algunas fermentaciones, las cuales requieren que la temperatura del vino en los depósitos y las barricas sea más elevada que la temperatura ambiental. El consumo de gasóleo es elevado ya que se trata de una zona fría. El trabajo analiza la viabilidad de sustitución de esta caldera por una caldera de biomasa alimentada con los residuos generados y procesados en la propia finca.[EN] The objective of this Final Degree Project (TFG) is the energy recovery of the branches from the pruning of the vine in the Alto Landon Farm located in the municipality of Landete (Cuenca).
Sarmiento is a woody agricultural biomass produced annually by vineyards. This waste has a usable calorific value and excellent physicochemical properties as a sustainable and renewable biofuel.
The estate consists of 250 ha of vineyards and a wine-making cellar. The residues from the pruning of the vines are eliminated by burning at the foot of the field with the environmental problems and loss of resources that this generates.
The study will analyse the different viable alternatives for the collection of the waste in the field until selecting the most efficient both technically and economically. After the collection and conditioning of the material for transport and use as biofuel, it would be stored at the plant.
Currently, the winery has thermal requirements that are supplied by a diesel boiler. The winery is heated for several months a year to be able to carry out some fermentations, which require that the temperature of the wine in the tanks and barrels be higher than the ambient temperature. Diesel consumption is high since it is a cold area. The work analyses the feasibility of replacing this boiler with a biomass boiler fed with the waste generated and processed on the farm itself.Garrido Sánchez, C. (2020).

Herederos y Pretendientes. Una lectura sociológica (1963-1990), recently published. This paper is the author’s response to criticism raised in the Conference and to published reviews received by this book. First, the author summarized the argument of Herederos y pretendientes. Secondly he responds and takes into account the most important objections against the book’s hypothesis and methodology. Finally the author evaluates the favorable judgments received by the book and suggests the limits of the historian’s task.Fundación Ortega y Gasset-Marañó
Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender.
No full textBACKGROUND
The aims of this bibliometric study were to determine author self-citation trends in high-impact orthodontic literature and to investigate possible association between self-citation and publication characteristics.
METHODS
Six orthodontic journals with the highest impact factor as ranked by 2017 Journal Citation Reports were screened for a full publication year (2018) for original research articles, reviews, and case reports. Eligible articles were scrutinized for article and author characteristics and citation metrics. Univariable and multivariable negative binomial regression was used to examine associations between self-citation incidence and publication characteristics.
RESULTS
Medians for author self-citation rate of the most self-citing authors and self-citations were 3.03% (range 0-50) and 1 (range 0-19), respectively. In the univariable analysis, there was no association between self-citation counts and study type (P = 0.41), article topic (P = 0.61), number of authors (P = 0.62), and rank of authors (P = 0.56). Author origin (P = 0.001), gender (P = 0.001) and journal (P = 0.05) were associated with self-citation counts and in the multivariable analysis only origin and gender remained strong self-citation predictors. Asian authors and females self-cited significantly less often than all other regions and male authors.
CONCLUSIONS
Authors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature
