Our estimates of reduced power for PV-modules with ash concentrations are comparable to airborne dust settling scenarios tested and based on empirical data, where significant losses are described (Appels et al., 2012, Beattie et al., 2012, Jiang et al., 2011).
When the particle loading was increased to 1.0 vol.%, the nanofluids of oleic acid-prepared Cu powders settled and clogged the test setup.
We developed a benthic standard monitoring unit for recruitment of fishes (SMURF) to sample fishes that settle in coral rubble and tested it on three fringing reefs on the west coast of Barbados, West Indies.
However, they were unable to capitalise due to a handling error and both sides settled down to testing out the opposition down the middle.
The density, settling test and compressive strength of the blended slurries were determined in accordance with API standards.
Ultimately, of course, whether directional selectivity plays a role in whisker stimulus encoding must be settled by directly testing whether rodents can use the direction of vibrissa motion as a sensory cue at different moments during tactile exploration.
The applications are numerous and show a great variety: help for diagnosis, data reconstruction, performance demonstration, probe design and inspection parameters settling, virtual testing etc.
Trials were conducted only if the female whose call was going to be presented was out of sight of the test male, if the test male was settled and not engaged in potentially distracting activity (e.g., feeding, grooming others), and if no disturbing noise could be heard.
A phenomenological model describing continuous thickening has been previously developed with primary inputs being the material properties, (compressive yield stress and hindered settling function) derived from routine laboratory batch settling and filtration tests.
Job done then; the issue of the rights and wrongs of PSA testing is now settled and will gently fade away.
