Determining The Geometry Of Mass-Flow Bins - Some Important Considerations, Peter Arnold Jan 2013

Determining The Geometry Of Mass-Flow Bins - Some Important Considerations, Peter Arnold

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

It has taken some time to obtain general acceptance but in recent times, at least in Australia, competent designers of mass-flow bins use techniques based on the traditional concepts of Jenike to determine the appropriate geometry for mass-flow hoppers to handle bulk solids reliably. While the traditional Jenike design concepts may appear straightforward experience dictates that some important considerations need to be exercised during the design process, especially when handling the more difficult bulk solids, to ensure that the final bin construction performs to expectations. Some of the important considerations that this paper will highlight include: • Appropriate bulk solids …

Ice core data are combined with RACMO2 regional climate model (RCM) output (1958-2010) to develop a reconstruction of the Greenland ice sheet net snow accumulation rate (Ât(G)) spanning years 1600-2009. Regression parameters from RCM output regressed on 86 ice cores are used with available cores in a given year resulting in the reconstructed values. Each core site’s residual variance is used to inversely weight the cores’ respective contributions. The interannual amplitude of the reconstructed accumulation rate is damped by the regressions and is thus calibrated to match that of the RCM data. Uncertainty and significance of changes is measured using …

A Personalized Hybrid Recommendation System Oriented To E-Commerce Mass Data In The Cloud, Fang Dong, Junzhou Luo, Xia Zhu, Yuxiang Wang, Jun Shen

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Personalized recommendation technology in Ecommerce is widespread to solve the problem of product information overload. However, with the further growth of the number of E-commerce users and products, the original recommendation algorithms and systems will face several new challenges: (1) to model user’s interests more accurately; (2) to provide more diverse recommendation modes; and (3) to support large-scale expansion. To address these challenges, from the actual demands of E-commerce applications (as Made-in-China website), a personalized hybrid recommendation system, which can support massive data set, is designed and implemented in this paper by using Cloud technology. Hereinto, the recommendation algorithms are …
