Measurements of the Flow in Backshroud/Casing Clearance of Precessing Centrifugal Impeller by Yoshiki Yoshida, Yoshinobu Tsujimoto, Hideo Ohashi, Akira Saito, Shin Ishizaki

“…It was shown that the fluid force moment can become rotordynamically destabilizing for small forward precessing motion as originally found by Ohashi et al. The effects of leakage flow in the backshroud/casing clearance and a gap between impeller side plate and casing at the impeller outlet are clearly shown, and the discussions are also made based on the unsteady velocity and pressure measurements.…”

The Chronology of the Levantine Middle Palaeolithic Period in Retrospect by Ofer Bar-Yosef, Liliane Meignen

“…During the last 20 years, in the context of new interdisciplinary research projects in the Near East, significant changes have emerged in our ideas about the origin and early evolution of Modern Humans. Most of these changes are the result of the development and application of dating techniques such as TL and ESR but no less have the advent of lithic technological studies contributed refinements in the classical tripartite scheme of the Levantine Middle Palaeolithic. …”

Multiple Depots Vehicle Routing Problem in the Context of Total Urban Traffic Equilibrium by Dongxu Chen, Zhongzhen Yang

“…Under the total traffic equilibrium, the multidepot VRP is changed to GDAP (the problem of Grouping Customers + Estimating OD Traffic + Assigning traffic) and bilevel programming is used to model the problem, where the upper model determines the customers that each truck visits and adds the trucks’ trips to the initial OD (Origin/Destination) trips, and the lower model assigns the OD trips to road network. …”

Nonstationary First Threshold Crossing Reliability for Linear System Excited by Modulated Gaussian Process by Rita Greco, Giuseppe Carlo Marano, Alessandra Fiore, Ivo Vanzi

“…A widely used approach for the first crossing reliability evaluation of structures subject to nonstationary Gaussian random input is represented by the direct extension to the nonstationary case of the solution based on the qualified envelope, originally proposed for stationary cases. The most convenient way to approach this evaluation relies on working in the time domain, where a common assumption used is to adopt the modulation of stationary envelope process instead of the envelope of modulated stationary one, by utilizing the so-called “preenvelope” process. …”
