An additional pMOST was introduced in the design as a drain load at the output of nMOST source follower.
Expressed more explicitly, this can be described as maintaining a center drain loading rate of 0.010094 m3/s per cell (160 gpm), which correspond to unit loading rates of 16.3 lperm2 per cell (0.40 gperft2 per cell).
The ratio of (expressed as percentage) of center drain loading rate to total flow rate (R = 7.5%, 12.5%, and 20.1%.) was defined to establish a relationship between R and vortex strength or size.
Each case had its own unique weir flow rate and center drain loading rate values that combined to a total flow rate resulting in 15-min hydraulic retention time (HRT) for the MCR.
Over the study period, 81.7% and 92.4% of watershed and subsurface tile drain DOC loading, respectively, occurred during 20% of the time, typically during winter and spring high flow events.
Discussing the Diaspora Challenge with TechCrunch, CcHub CEO Bosun Tijani referenced Africa's brain drain, "We have loads and loads of people outside the continent, in the US and Europe, who are doing really well," he said.
The centrifuge data show that drained cyclic loading does not degrade anchor capacity, and may be beneficial provided the cyclic loading involves a history of lower level cyclic loading that densifies the sand.
It is assumed that any contained water is fully drained during loading and it has no role in the compressibility process of the composite.
Using specially designed equipment, consolidated-undrained and drained physical loading tests were conducted on a model ground with the artificially cemented clay to measure the footing settlement, specimen surface displacement, and pore water pressure after each step load.
The bearing behavior of monopod buckets under drained monotonic loading in very dense and medium dense sand is investigated in this study by means of numerical simulation with the finite element method.
