Irrigation-Canal - Simulation Model Usage, Charles M. Burt, Gregory Gartrell Jul 1993

Irrigation-Canal - Simulation Model Usage, Charles M. Burt, Gregory Gartrell

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

Unsteady canal-simulation model usage requires serious investments of time and personnel. The reasons for deciding to invest in a model, as well as reasons not to invest, are discussed. For most cases, it is better to invest in the improvement of an existing model than the writing of a new model. Many excellent models are available, although very few can be considered user-friendly for the average design engineer. Unsteady flow-simulation models are not recommended for real-time control, but are key tools for the study of various control scenarios. Canal models can simulate an actual canal, but the user must input …

We Speak In The First Person, Danne W. Polk

Between the Species

Submitted by Danne W. Polk of the Philosophy Department, Villanova University, these reflections are the cumulative result of a thought experiment in which the 38 students in an Ecofeminism course were asked to imagine that if nonhuman beings could speak to us and we could understand their languages, what would they say?

Cal Poly Model Canal, John B. Parrish, Iii, Charles M. Burt Jul 1993

Cal Poly Model Canal, John B. Parrish, Iii, Charles M. Burt

BioResource and Agricultural Engineering

The Cal Poly Model Canal, located at the Water Delivery Facility. Irrigation Training and Research Center, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Calif., was built to accommodate the study and promotion of automated downstream control. Being a large, fully functional scale model of a canal, it was used to collect data for use by the Irrigation Canal System Hydraulic Modeling Task Committee of the ASCE Irrigation and Drainage Division. The data was used by Task Committee members to help evaluate numerical models for simulation of unsteady free-surface flow. The Model Canal and the collected data are discussed. This paper …

Copper Association With Iron Sulfide Magnetosomes In A Magnetotactic Bacterium, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Anthony J. Garratt-Reed, Afshin Abedi, Richard B. Frankel Jul 1993

Copper Association With Iron Sulfide Magnetosomes In A Magnetotactic Bacterium, Dennis A. Bazylinski, Anthony J. Garratt-Reed, Afshin Abedi, Richard B. Frankel

Physics

Greigite (Fe3S4) and pyrite (FeS2) particles in the magnetosomes of a many-celled, magnetotactic prokaryote (MMP), common in brackish-to-marine, sulfidic, aquatic habitats, contained relatively high concentrations of copper which ranged from about 0.1 to 10 atomic per cent relative to iron. In contrast, the greigite particles in the magnetosomes of a curved magnetotactic bacterium collected from the same sampling site did not contain significant levels of copper. The ability of the MMP to biomineralize copper within its magnetosomes appeared to be limited to that organism and dependent upon the site from which it was collected. …

Reduced Bandwidth For Remote Vehicle Operations, Timothy E. Noell, Fred W. Depiero Jun 1993

Reduced Bandwidth For Remote Vehicle Operations, Timothy E. Noell, Fred W. Depiero

Electrical Engineering

Oak Ridge National Laboratory staff have developed a video compression system for low-bandwidth remote operations. The objective is to provide real-time video at data rates comparable to available tactical radio links, typically 16 to 64 thousand bits per second (kbps), while maintaining sufficient quality to achieve mission objectives. The system supports both continuous lossy transmission of black and white (gray scale) video for remote driving and progressive lossless transmission of black and white images for remote automatic target acquisition. The average data rate of the resulting bit stream is 64 kbps. This system has been demonstrated to provide video of …

The Naval Reserve Civil Engineer Corps Environmental Engineering Program, William A. Heine, Samuel A. Vigil Jun 1993

The Naval Reserve Civil Engineer Corps Environmental Engineering Program, William A. Heine, Samuel A. Vigil

Civil and Environmental Engineering

The Navy is engaged in a national effort to bring its shore facilities into compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal environmental regulations. This work is being completed by civil service employees, consultants, and contractors under the supervision of Navy Civil Engineer Corps officers. To supplement these active duty and civilian resources, the Reserve Division of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (RDNAVFAC) has identified Reserve officers with substantial environmental engineering skills who are being assigned to assist Navy shore activities all over the world in this essential task. The Naval Reserve Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) is composed of over …
