Another example is the King Dome, in Seattle, Washington, which covers a sports stadium with a thin single shell concrete parabolic dome stiffened with ribs 201 metres (661 feet) in diameter.
The thermal camera overcomes some of the drawbacks of a regular camera; the hooks and the tailhead nadirs of a thin cow diverged from the parabolic shape.
Compact Linear Fresnel Reflectors are CSP-plants which use many thin mirror strips instead of parabolic mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto two tubes with working fluid.
Although the FSDT describes more realistic behavior of thin-to-moderately thick plates, the parabolic distribution of transverse shear stress through the thickness of the plate is not properly reflected, thus the shear correction factor is introduced.
EEJ characteristics have been simulated by assuming a line current (Forbush and Casaverde 1961), a thin-band current with uniform and parabolic modes of latitudinal dependence (Chapman 1951), a "fourth-degree" current distribution (Fambitakoye and Mayaud 1976), and a "thick" current distribution incorporating latitude and height dependence (Onwumechili 1967).
The more prominent hooks and the tailhead depressions of a thin cow tended to diverge from the parabolic shape.
Field-flow fractionation is a family of analytical separation techniques [139, 140], in which the separation is carried out in a flow with a parabolic profile running through a thin channel.
For example, the diffusion of a gas through a thin transparent tube is described by a parabolic equation subjected to a nonlocal initial condition very close to the one mentioned above, see [9].
The hypothesis tested was that the body shape of a fatter cow is rounder than that of a thin cow and, therefore, may better fit a parabolic shape.
A parabolic deformable mirror with a piezoelectric thin film was studied and controlled based on an in-plane actuation strategy by Maji et al. [12] and the active control precision proved to reach the micron level.
