A high-performance electromagnetic vibration energy harvester based on ring magnets with Halbach configuration
This paper proposes and studies a ring-shaped architecture with Halbach configuration for electromagnetic vibration energy harvesters.The proposed transducer consists of three ring magnets with a linear Halbach array that concentrates its magnetic field in the inner space of the mechanism where a single vertically-centered concentric coil has been
Risks and reliability assessment of construction processes
Improving the reliability of the implementation of construction schedules for a complex of structures (where the level of quality, timing, and costs is taken into account) can be achieved by creating reserves: time and resources.The reserve of time, the main types of technical, labor, and material resources due to the creation of special structures
Recent changes in the phytoplankton community of Soda Lake Chitu, Ethiopia, in response to some environmental factors
While scientific information on the spatial variation of soda lake Microalgae is important to limnological studies, little information was reported from the Ethiopian Rift Valley Lake, Lake Chitu.This study aimed to understand the spatial distribution of the dominant Microalgae taxa in Lake Chitu, Ethiopia.The collection of samples and in situ meas
