Case Study: Modernization Of The Government Highline Canal, Stuart W. Styles, Charles M. Burt, Ram Dhan Khalsa, Robert Norman Oct 1999

Case Study: Modernization Of The Government Highline Canal, Stuart W. Styles, Charles M. Burt, Ram Dhan Khalsa, Robert Norman

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

The Government Highline Canal Modernization Study was completed to evaluate options for reducing the flow rate requirement of the Government Highline Canal during the late Summer and Fall water delivery months. The intent was to develop a design for which Colorado River diversions could be better matched to on-farm demands. The two primary challenges associated with reducing diversions are that (i) at low canal flows many turnouts do not have sufficient pressure, and (ii) it is difficult to schedule diversions to match deliveries. The Government Highline Canal is part of the federal Grand Valley Project in the Colorado River Basin …

Case Study: Modernization Of The Patterson Irrigation District, Stuart W. Styles, Charles M. Burt, Mike Lehmkuhl, John Sweigard Oct 1999

Case Study: Modernization Of The Patterson Irrigation District, Stuart W. Styles, Charles M. Burt, Mike Lehmkuhl, John Sweigard

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

The Irrigation Training and Research Center (ITRC) at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California has been working in conjunction with the Patterson Irrigation District (PID) on modernization of the district facilities. This project is being partially funded by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Mid-Pacific Region. The district is located in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Water supply for the district is pumped primarily from the San Joaquin River. The district utilizes a series of pump stations and canal pools to bring water uphill to supply the lateral canals, which are laid out on the contour. Modernization …

Current Canal Modernization From An International Perspective, Charles M. Burt Oct 1999

Current Canal Modernization From An International Perspective, Charles M. Burt

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Modernization differs from rehabilitation, which simply returns a deteriorated project or structures to their original new state. Rehabilitation by itself typically only perpetuates the vicious cycle of rehabilitation, deterioration, rehabilitation, etc. A modern irrigation design is the result of a thought process that selects the configuration and the physical components in light of a well-defined and realistic operation plan that is based on the service concept. A modern irrigation design is not defined by specific hardware components and control logic. Advanced concepts of hydraulic engineering, irrigation engineering, agronomy, and social science should be used to arrive at the most simple …

Modernization Of The Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District, Charles M. Burt, Dale R. Brogan Oct 1999

Modernization Of The Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District, Charles M. Burt, Dale R. Brogan

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District (DEID) delivers water through closed reinforced concrete pipelines on an arranged schedule. Farmers are not allowed to operate their own turnouts, and individual turnout flow rate changes impact flow rates at all other turnouts on the same pipeline. DEID is in the process of a complete modernization program which will allow the farmers to operate their own turnouts on a very flexible arranged schedule. The modernization includes (i) a new water ordering program, (ii) new turnout designs with pressure regulators and new flow propeller flow meters, (iii) the use of hand held data recorders to document deliveries …

Optical Monitoring And Forecasting Systems For Harmful Algal Blooms: Possibility Or Pipe Dream?, Mark A. Moline, Oscar Schofield, Joe Grzymski, Paul W. Bissett, Gary J. Kirkpatrick, David F. Millie, Collin S. Roesler Oct 1999

Optical Monitoring And Forecasting Systems For Harmful Algal Blooms: Possibility Or Pipe Dream?, Mark A. Moline, Oscar Schofield, Joe Grzymski, Paul W. Bissett, Gary J. Kirkpatrick, David F. Millie, Collin S. Roesler

Biological Sciences

Monitoring programs for harmful algal blooms (HABs) are currently reactive and provide little or no means for advance warning. Given this, the development of algal forecasting systems would be of great use because they could guide traditional monitoring programs and provide a proactive means for responding to HABs. Forecasting systems will require near real-time observational capabilities and hydrodynamic/biological models designed to run in the forecast mode. These observational networks must detect and forecast over ecologically relevant spatial/ temporal scales. One solution is to incorporate a multiplatform optical approach utilizing remote sensing and in situ moored technologies. Recent advances in instrumentation …

Parallel Ac-Ac Converters Using Stationary Master Slave Control, Taufik, F. E. Villaseca Oct 1999

Parallel Ac-Ac Converters Using Stationary Master Slave Control, Taufik, F. E. Villaseca

Electrical Engineering

This study proposes parallel ac-ac converters using Stationary Master Slave Control with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation to achieve voltage regulation and equal current sharing among parallel generators such that it minimizes the total production cost. Development of Pspice model representing the parallel ac-ac converters is presented and then simulated. In addition, computer simulations are also used to perform robustness study on the parallel converters.

Temperature Dependence Of Electrical And Optical Modulation Responses Of Quantum-Well Lasers, T. Keating, Xiaomin Jin, Shun Lien Chuang, K. Hess Oct 1999

Temperature Dependence Of Electrical And Optical Modulation Responses Of Quantum-Well Lasers, T. Keating, Xiaomin Jin, Shun Lien Chuang, K. Hess

Electrical Engineering

We present theory and experiment for high-speed optical injection in the absorption region of a quantum-well laser and compare the results with those of electrical injection including the carrier transport effect. We show that the main difference between the two responses is the low-frequency roll-off. By using both injection methods, we obtain more accurate and consistent measurements of many important dynamic laser parameters, including the differential gain, carrier lifetime, K factor, and gain compression factor. Temperature-dependent data of the test laser are presented which show that the most dominant effect is the linear degradation of differential gain and injection efficiency …

Belief Or 'Belief': Rush Rhees On Religious Belief Language, Todd R. Long Oct 1999

Belief Or 'Belief': Rush Rhees On Religious Belief Language, Todd R. Long

Philosophy

The recent book Rush Rhees on Religion and Philosophy contains a stimulating collection of writin~s by Rush Rhees on a variety of topics in the philosophy of religion. Comprising accounts of personal, religious and moral struggles, these essays provide a refreshing change from the often dry, overly technical approach to philosophy writing. Despite spanning more than thirty years, Rhees' s essays disclose a fairly consistent philosophy .of religion with a clear emphasis. Since he was Wittgenstein's student and long-time friend as well as a literary executor ofWittgenstein's writings, it is not surprising that Rhees's comments on the philosophy of religion …
