Mass transfer processes were evaluated in an artificial, non-uniform porous medium with a power law distribution of diffusion rate coefficients obtained from physical characterization of solute and porous medium. Breakthrough curves of several pulse experiments conducted at different velocities were compared (1) to analytical expressions for concentrations at mass transfer...
More efficient methods are needed for the in-situ evaluation of mass transfer parameters which describe the movement of solutes through aquifer material. The objective of this study was to develop a method for estimating diffusion rate and capacity coefficients using a single-well, "push-pull" tracer test. The method consists of the...
Frequency domain design of deconvolution filters is
studied using Fast Fourier Transform. Filters for both the
spike and the Gaussian reflector wavelet are obtained. True
deconvolution filters are infinitely long IIR filters,
and frequency domain analysis is an effective way of
finding its optimum finite length approximation for an
arbitary...
This study modified certain existing techniques used in the
determination of the radiation exposure to various anatomical structures
of the gastro-intestinal tract during fluoroscopic examinations.
Monitoring films were attached directly to the patient during the
routine upper gastro-intestinal examination, instead of placing the
films on the panel of the fluoroscope....
Stale flavor development has been recognized as a defect of
stored dry milk powders for several years. Recently, stale flavor
development has been found to occur upon storage of sterilized concentrated
milk, and is recognized as the principal limiting factor to
commercial utilization of this process (Seibert, 1963).
Some attempts...
The effects of bicycle exercise on specific anthropometric and
physiological measures were observed in two test subjects (S1 and S2)
over a twelve week exercise period. The two subjects, one male (S1)
and one female (S2) participated in a graduated bicycle exercise program.
Body weight, body measurements, circulatory function tests,...
