Spillways are a requirement for dams' safety, mainly preventing dam over-topping in ood cases. A common spillway solution involves plunging jets which dissipate a considerable energy ow in the plunge pool. Dissipation has to occur in a controlled manner to ...
This paper presents a method to create fish-like robots with tensegrity systems and describes a prototype modeled on the body shape of the rainbow trout with a length of 400 mm and a mass of 102 g that is driven by a waterproof servomotor. The structure of ...
This paper studies the worldwide applicability of solar water disinfection (SODIS) technology through a novel parameter: the SODIS potential. This parameter is defined as the inverse ratio between the required exposure time to achieve a four log disinfecti ...
Fuzzing is one of the most popular and effective techniques for finding software bugs. To detect triggered bugs, fuzzers leverage a variety of sanitizers in practice. Unfortunately, sanitizers target long running experiments-e.g., developer test suites-not ...
This review presents an update describing binary and ternary semiconductors involving interfacial charge transfer (IFCT) in composites made up by TiO2, CuO, Ag2O and Fe2O3 used in microbial disinfection (bacteria and viruses). The disinfection mechanism, ...
A design of a wave pool for surfing is defined in this work. The geometry is designed in order to optimize the relatively small area available for the project. The bathymetry is suited to the different levels of surfers. A wave generation system composed o ...
The turbulent plunging jet of a nearly incompressible fluid into a stagnant fluid is of great importance in many practical applications, especially for the engineering of hydropower. As an example, the dynamic load exerted by the impact of turbulent high-v ...
In several machine learning tasks for graph structured data, the graphs under consideration may be composed of a varying number of nodes. Therefore, it is necessary to design pooling methods that aggregate the graph representations of varying size to repre ...
The 130 m high Ilarion Dam is built on the Aliakmon River in northern Greece. The dam has two spillways with ski jumps at their ends and a plunge pool to cushion the impact of the jets. This pool has suered signicant scouring during several oods in recent ...
Introduction: Today, inertial measurement units (IMU) provide promising solutions for swimmers’ motions analysis [1-3]. However, most studies focused on few parameters, often during strokes of front crawl style [4]. For swimming training session monitoring ...
