The parameter uncertainty in hydrological modelling has been accorded much attention in the recent past. Parameter uncertainty is a major source of overall model unreliability. In this study, the HydroPSO R package was ...

Fresh porcine spinal cords (N = 5) were obtained at a local abattoir, and intact nerve roots were excised at cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels using a surgical scalpel and fine forceps with a special caution. In total, ...

Electrical power generation from wind is achieved using a number of generator technologies. The main technologies are the Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (SCIG) and Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). In this paper, ...

This paper demonstrates the use of Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (UNII-3), 5.725-5.825GHz, Wi-Fi frequencies, in the IEEE802.11a/n standard in setting up long distance point-to-point links, capable of ...

Based on affordability, small turbines are forced to operate above optimum conditions in order to produce maximum power making them to fail under excessive water jet loading. Performance of Aluminium A356 alloy based Pelton ...

This paper describes performance analysis of a direct drive Axial Flux Permanent Magnet (AFPM) generator developed for small scale wind energy applications. The design process approach began by a field survey intended to ...

Non-Conventional methods have recently been employed in the drilling of materials such as super alloys which are hard to machine using mechanical conventional methods. These materials are mainly used in turbines in the ...

This paper investigates the effect of minor elements on Brinell hardness properties of Al-10Si alloy. This investigation was carried out with the aim of improving the properties of recycled cast Al-Si alloys so as to enhance ...

The adsorption of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solution by charcoal from acacia (Acacia tortilis) tree were studied in a batch adsorption system. Various parameters such as the effect of initial chromium concentrations, ...

A three bladed vertical axis wind turbine with a target performance of 500W was designed and fabricated. The material used was Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP). The study focused on Blade design where a numerical ...
