High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! K-77 was a "Project 651" (also known by its NATO reporting name of Juliett-class) cruise missile submarine of the Soviet Navy. Her keel was laid down in the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard in Gorky on 31 January 1963. She was launched on 11 March 1965, and commissioned on 31 October 1965 into the Northern Fleet.K-77 was built later in the Juliett class, so her hull was conventional steel and her battery was of the conventional lead-acid type, rather than the austenitic steel and silver-zinc batteries used in the first Julietts. K-77 was also used as the set for the motion picture K-19: The Widowmaker, starring Harrison Ford and Liam Neeson. Данное издание не является...

This book introduces an analytic procedure that estimates the amount of traffic congestion (vehicle hours of delay) that is caused by different types of accidents that occur on urban freeways, as well as a model for prediction of real-time accident information such as how long an accident will affect traffic congestion and to the extent of the traffic congestion. The first part describes a method to separate the non-recurrent delay from any recurrent delay that is present on the road at the time and place of a reported accident, in order to estimate the contribution of non-recurrent delay caused by the specific accident. Since a number of estimated delay results were censored by time and/or space boundary conditions, an approach based on...

Speckle noise is an inherent nature of ultrasound images. In this research a compounding method based on wavelet shrinkage denoising (WSD) is studied. Wavelet shrinkage denoising is adopted not only because the noise can be effectively removed in wavelet domain, but also because the decomposition- reconstruction process could successfully divide the radio-frequency (RF) signals into several subsignals, which can be envelope detected and then summed up to form the compounded image. Hence the denoising advantage of WSD is achieved along with speckle suppression of compounding method. In addition, because the contrast noise ratio (CNR) is a function of the weighting coefficients, optimal weighting is obtained via differentiating the CNR to...

Cognitive Radios promise to be a major shift in wireless communications based on developing a novel approach which attempt to reduce spectrum scarcity that growing up in the past and waited to increase in the future. Since formulating stages for increasing interest in wireless application proves to be extremely challenging, it is growing rapidly. Initially this growth leads to huge demand for the radio spectrum. The novelty of this approach needs to optimize the spectrum utilization and find the efficient way for sharing the radio frequencies through spectrum sensing process. This research describes the fundamental cognitive radio system aspect based on design and implementation by connecting between the theoretical and practical issue....

In many cases, the way we say something tells more about our feelings and attitudes than what we actually say. This is especially true in emotional situations and under the impact of mental stress. Since emotions and stress affect speech behavior, it must be possible to draw conclusions on a speaker's emotional state from characteristic properties of the recorded voice. Speech monitoring is a promising workload assessment technique wherever an individual is responsible for other people's safety, indicating degraded performance due to work overload. Other fields of application include detection improvements for automated speech recognition and emotional speech synthesis. This book deals with the selection and evaluation of appropriate...

Spray drying produces engineered powders in one step from liquid feeds with applications across numerous industries. One major problem in spray drying is potential deposition of particles on the internal wall of the spray chamber. Such a problem can be severe if the operating parameters for a particular new feed is not known or if modifications are to be made in existing operations. The first part of this book introduces a rapid systematic approach to optimize the operation of a spray dryer. A new concept is introduced to reduce deposition via dryer wall surface energy manipulation. A second approach in reducing wall deposition and also as a good modeling tool for spray drying is Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation of the...

New design procedures in structural engineering require better understanding and modelling of nonlinear behaviour of structures and components. The structural response under strong dynamic loads is highly unpredictable and then difficult to model. It becomes critical when analysing protection systems, due to the strong non-linearities exhibited by common seismic devices. Real-Time Substructuring Test (RTST) is an outstanding strategy for modelling nonlinear systems as it allows testing critical components at full-scale under realistic loading conditions. This work analyses the applicability of RTST in the assessment of protection systems for seismic mitigation. A complete set of closed-form expressions to describe the dynamics of the...

The corrosion behaviour of several stainless steels and some pure metals has been investigated in water solutions with dissolved ozone. Dissolved ozone increases the redox-potential of solutions to about +1200 mV vs. SCE and the corrosion potential of stainless steel to the transpassive region. The corrosion rate of stainless steels increases as the amount of alloying elements increases. The corrosion of stainless steels is mainly general but also peeling of oxide layers and pitting was also observed. As the pH of the solution is decreased, the corrosion rate of higher alloyed steels increases at higher pH than lower alloyed steels. Dissolved ozone increases the thickness of the oxide layers greatly up to 260 nm and greatly changes the...

The water fuel cell is a purported perpetual motion machine invented by American Stanley Allen Meyer (August 24, 1940 – March 21, 1998). He claimed that an automobile retrofitted with the device could use water as fuel instead of gasoline. The fuel cell purportedly split water into its component elements, hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen was then burned to generate energy, a process that reconstituted the water molecules. According to Meyer, the device required less energy to perform electrolysis than the minimum energy requirement predicted or measured by conventional science. Данное издание не является...

The monograph is devoted to frequency-domain methods of investigation of multivariable [also called multi-input multi-output (MIMO)] control systems in the presence of stochastic signals. Experts engaged in control engineering are interested in statistical methods because real control systems are often subjected to random disturbances. Many important statistical methods of classical feedback control that are based on frequency-domain concepts have not been adequately extended to multivariable case. This especially concerns the methods of statistical linearization, as well as joint statistical and harmonical linearization, which allow one to investigate the dynamics of control systems containing essential nonlinearities. The goal of this...

Ziel der Stochastischen Simulation ist nicht die Optimierung, sondern das Finden einer guten und robusten Losung mit den dazugehorigen Parametern und Toleranzen. Bei einer Optimierung liegt die Losung meist in einem kritischen Bereich und das System ist oft anfallig gegen kleine Storungen von aussen und Toleranzen. Die Stochastische Simulation baut auf einem grundsatzlich anderen Ansatz auf, der in den folgenden Kapiteln vorgestellt und erklart wird.
