Various factors contribute to the degree of accuracy of the adjusted parameter (coordinate), one of which is the choice of adjustment model. Adjustment models seeks to eliminate (accounts) for the presence of random errors present in a given observations. The choice is critical for surveyors and other spatial analysts for optimal positioning and mapping projects since different adjustment models will yield different level of accuracy of spatial information generated irrespective of the quality...

This thesis is here retyped with modern fonts from the original scanned document. As a part of the study of oxy-Cope systems in this laboratory, some examples of triple bond participation in these reactions have been investigated. In general, the experimental results indicate that acetylenes and allenes participate readily in cyclic six membered transition states and that triple bond participation in electrocyclic reactions leads to increased rates in comparison with the corresponding olefinic...

The first installation of a Ljungström air preheater on a commercial boiler reduced fuel consumption by as much as 25%, and in modern utility boilers the Ljungström air preheater contributes up to 20% of the overall boiler efficiency while representing only 2% of the total investment. Therefore, in this paper an analysis is shown on how operation parameters of an regenerative air preheater can be optimized in order to increase its efficiency and consequently the overall efficiency of a steam...

ABSTRACT An 11M3 Chinese- type fixed dome biogas plant, designed and constructed at the National Center for Energy Research and Development, University Of Nigeria, Nsukka was characterized through measurement of its actual volume and intensive three (3) weeks kitchen performance tests. Results of the measurement of the plant showed that its actual volume is 11.0M3. Anaerobic digestion of cow dung using the plant was carried out. The plant was found to utilize 2000kg of the waste with 4000kg of...

In 1962, the ophthalmologist Adolph Franceschetti described a peculiar fundus affection, which he termed Fundus flavimaculatus, at an ophthalmological refresher course held in Hamburg. Subsequently in 1963, in collaboration with Jules Francois from Ghent, he reported 28 cases of this disorder to the French Ophthalmological Society. Ten years later in a thesis, B. Puech stated that Stargardt disease and fundus flavimaculatus were identical disorders with clinical, electrophysiological, and...

Bahia’s backwoods ridges belong to a mountain range called “Serra do Espinhaço” which historically are explored by regular or clandestine mining companies. Since the beginning of 2010’s decade, the abundance of wind has attracted companies interested in the use of it for energy generation. Nevertheless, these ridges also are part of recharging zones that supplies important water reservoirs in Brazilian’s semiarid and Caatinga’s region. The ridges riches awoke interest in some...

Land cover information based on remote sensing imagery is effective information for land use management. The use of Sentinel-2 imagery is considered to be able to provide better information on land cover because it has a spatial accuracy of 10 meters. Convolutional Neural Networks is one of the deep learning methods that can be used for image interpretation in order to obtain image classification results which will later obtain information about land cover. PCA-CNN (Principal Component...

This article aims to highlight the impacts of a social debt of the Sobradinho-BA dam that left 12,000 families disappropriated, around 70,000 people and 8,619,000 were from rural families (IPEA, 2018).

This study goal is to explore changes of the temperature field during storms operating in the East Sea under the influence of cold air over time. Studies on wave–current interaction have focused mainly on tropical cyclones, while less attention has been paid to other weather systems (Gong et al, 2018). Strong winds in coastal areas can cause dramatic changes in water level and currents, which influence wave height and direction, thereby increasing hazardous conditions (Sun et al, 2018). Wave...
