Adaptive Vector Control of Induction Motor Based Inverse Dynamic Dynamometer
No full textEnhancement of the electrical machines performance with different applications requires the comprehensive study and investigations into the electrical drive systems dealing with industrial loads. Identification of the electrical motors performance characteristics and their drive systems under various loading conditions necessitates a programmable dynamometer drive system with desired dynamic characteristics to emulate the real working conditions in the laboratory environment. One of the basic challenges in such systems is to consider the effect of uncertainties and parameters variations on the dynamometer drive system performance. In this paper, the emulation of the industrial loads profile has been carried out through inverse dynamics method and by utilizing a dynamometer which is based on the adaptive model of a vector-controlled induction motor. Simulation results are presented to verify the enhanced dynamic response of the dynamometer system through the proposed method
COORDINATED LOCATION, DISTRIBUTION AND INVENTORY DECISIONS IN SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK DESIGN: A MULTI-OBJECTIVE APPROACH
No full text<p>This research presents an integrated multi-objective distribution model for use in simultaneous strategic and operational food supply chain (SC) planning. The proposed method is adopted to allow use of a performance measurement system that includes conflicting objectives such as distribution costs, customer service level (safety stock holding), resource utilisation, and the total delivery time, with reference to multiple warehouse capacities and uncertain forecast demands. To deal with these objectives and enable the decision makers (DMs) to evaluate a greater number of alternative solutions, three different approaches are implemented in the proposed solution procedure. A detailed case study derived from food industrial data is used to illustrate the preference of the proposed approach. The proposed method yields an efficient solution and an overall degree of DMs satisfaction with the determined objective values.</p>This paper provides a simple formulation for facility location problem considering Iranian case study in the FMCG companies
Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis of Nasiri Flash Flood Disaster Event on the 1st August 2012
Get PDFNasiri lays in the Luhu village, Huamual district, West Seram Regency, Maluku province. Nasiri experienced in flash flood on August 1st, 2012 which had never happened before. There was no rainfall station and water level recorder at that time. It is rather difficult to find out the cause and yet Nasiri River was only 8 meters wide. The research started with identifying base flow, soil characteristics, learning flood video record, routing the river reach, finding the nearest rainfall station, and also interviewing some peoples there. Field data area was complemented with satellite radars. AutoCAD 2007, IFAS 2.0.1.2, Geostudio 2004, ArcGIS 10.2, HEC-HMS 4.2.1, and HEC-RAS 5.0.3 were used to perform simulations of the natural river with and without precipitation calibration, and also with and without landslide dam in the river. HEC-RAS was subject to perform 2 (two) dimensional flood routing. The result was fairly satisfying. Nasiri watershed was experiencing in flash flood caused by 2 (two) landslide dams which collapsed in 2 (two) different times. The first landslide dam was 7.55 meters high which collapsed at 09:52 (UTC+9) with 83.58 m3/s of peak discharge. The second landslide dam was 8.91 meters high which collapsed at 14:24 (UTC+9) with 54.16 m3/s of peak discharg
Density modulo 1 of a sequence associated to some multiplicative functions evaluated at polynomial arguments
No full textWe study density modulo 1 of the sequence with general term ∑ m≤n f (G(m)) where f is the strongly multiplicative function of the form f (n) = ∏ p|n (1 − ν(p) p) and ν is a multiplicative function for which there exists a real number 0 < r ≤ 1 such that 1 ≤ |ν(p)| ≤
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Warning Time Analysis of Nasiri River Flash Flood due to Several Possible Natural Dam Break Events
Get PDFFlash flood disasters caused by natural dam break have already occurred several times in Indonesia which contributes so much life loss and material damage. This research was aimed to study threat level on flash food disasters on the possibility of the locations where the natural dam was formed by the landslide on the river cliffs at the watershed. The flash flood in Nasiri River on August 1st, 2012 would be used for the model in this research. Therefore, hydrology and hydraulic simulations would be conducted on the process of natural dam break at specified altitudes which were predicted to occur in five locations along the Nasiri River. Several big rain event data sets that could occur on specified years from the previous studies would be used to obtain rain event with the hydrological model. Natural dam break was modeled with HEC-HMS 4.1. The hydraulic simulation used the dynamic flow model in the HEC-RAS 5.3 software. The natural dam collapse would be approached by considering the event that has existed around the study location, and also the local geological condition. The result showed that for all the natural dam break scenarios, it could be concluded that the storage filling time was in the time range of 2 hours 26 minutes up to 5 minutes. The flood travel time was ranged from 27 minutes to 2 minutes. The available warning time was quite short, which was less than 3 hours; therefore the need of early warning system’s facilities and infrastructure are absolutely necessary as one of mitigation effort for flash flood disaster in Nasiri Village
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
