This thesis examines discharge capacity reduction in pressurized pipelines in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It aims to quantify the effects of gas pockets on capacity and identify if gas pockets influence the pressurized wastewater system in Rotterdam. The document provides background on causes of capacity reduction in pressurized pipelines and methods to detect gas pockets. It then describes the wastewater system in Rotterdam and selects two pumping stations and their pipelines for analysis. Hydraulic models of the selected systems are developed. The results of analyzing the models are then presented to determine if and how much gas pockets reduce capacity in the systems. The thesis confirms gas pockets can significantly reduce capacity and that management of air valves in pressurized

Abstract The Normalized Least Mean Square error (NLMS) algorithm is most popular due to its simplicity. The conflicts of fast convergence and low excess mean square error associated with a fixed step size NLMS are solved by using an optimal step size NLMS algorithm. The main objective of this paper is to derive a new nonparametric algorithm to control the step size and also the theoretical performance analysis of the steady state behavior is presented in the paper. The simulation experiments are performed in Matlab. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm as superior performance in Fast convergence rate, low error rate, and has superior performance in noise cancellation. Index Terms: Least Mean square algorithm (LMS), Normalized least mean square algorithm (NLMS)

El documento describe el contexto escolar y situación de los alumnos de un grupo de 4to grado en una escuela primaria rural. La mayoría de los alumnos provienen de familias de bajos recursos y con pocos años de educación. Presentan dificultades en comprensión lectora y pensamiento matemático. El aula cuenta con recursos básicos. De acuerdo a pruebas, el tipo de inteligencia dominante es la visual-espacial y el estilo de aprendizaje auditivo. Se identificaron líderes positivos y negativos
El documento describe las diferencias entre las tecnologías del pasado y las tecnologías modernas en varias áreas como la comunicación, el transporte, la medicina y los dispositivos electrónicos. Antes se usaban métodos como señales de humo, palomas mensajeras y cartas para comunicarse, mientras que ahora se usan teléfonos celulares, correo electrónico, redes sociales y video llamadas. Del mismo modo, los medios de transporte, barcos, aviones y vehículos de antes eran más primitivos que sus contrapartes modernas.
29 An Intercultural Study of Refusal Strategies in English between Jordanian ...Yasser Al-Shboul
This document summarizes a study that investigated the similarities and differences in refusal strategies used by Jordanian and Malay postgraduate students in English. Data was collected using a modified Discourse Completion Test where situations requiring refusal were read aloud and participants responded verbally. Responses were analyzed based on refusal strategy frequency and type. Key findings were that both groups used similar strategies like excuses and explanations most frequently. However, Jordanians used indirect strategies more often than Malays. Additionally, Jordanians expressed gratitude less when refusing equals or lower status individuals. The study aimed to contribute to understanding intercultural communication between these groups.
The document discusses the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and compares it to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Some key points:
- DCT provides better energy compaction than DFT, making it useful for image/signal compression applications. It transforms a signal from the spatial domain to the frequency domain.
- DCT is a real-valued transform derived from DFT, but is more computationally efficient as it avoids redundant complex calculations for real input data.
- The one-dimensional and two-dimensional DCT transforms are defined. DCT has properties like separability and invertibility like DFT.
- DCT coefficients represent the signal's frequency content, with low frequencies concentrated in
