ef{fig15}. The first forward log decrement remain nearly invariant in the excitation frequency range, while the first backward frequency drops a little. egin{figure}[htbp] centering includegraphics[width=8cm]{Fig15.pdf} caption{Mode paramenters} label{fig15} end{figure} Using the sine-swept excitation method, we did both backward and forward excitaions for the test rig, and Fig. ef{fig16:subfig} shows the full spectrum waterfall for the left bearing (Node 10). Using the idenitification method [Li], the first mode parameters are estimated (1B: f=85.3Hz, LogDec=0.726; 1F: 86.3Hz, LogDec=0.442). By comparing the prdicted and measured first forward mode parameters, we can drow conclusion that the force coeffients of bearings are reasonably…
The Festival of Dangerous Ideas has long set the standard for sharing challenging ideas. But what exactly does this term mean? To me, ‘sharing challenging ideas’ means communicating thought-provoking concepts that confront the values and morals of society. Academic George Santayana offers us this wisdom, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In the context of the Australian narrative, nothing has been more pertinent than our relationships and recognition of the…

people consider love to be the ultimate form of happiness while others believe success and wealth to be the key. There are a lot of people who disagree with both sentiments and believe that happiness comes from something else entirely, which we can observe in many forms of literature. One novel in particular, titled Pay It Forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde, describes happiness in many definitions, all of which can be interpreted by the reader. Each character views and experiences happiness in a…
Sports center was now saying any NBA team that has a chance to draft LeBron should because he’s the next superstar. The thing is no team wanted him because they were saying he was too young and wouldn't stand a chance in the NBA. So what he did was he proved that he could stand a chance by carrying his team to the AAU championship and he won it. The week after he won the AAU championship, he got a call from the general manager from the Cleveland Cavaliers they wanted to draft him and be a 6th…
The forward osmosis (FO) process is an emerging separation/desalination process. It is rapid process compared to other membrane processes such as reverse osmosis. The physical phenomenon of forward osmosis (FO) can demonstrated as the motion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane due to difference in osmotic pressure driving force through the membrane. The membrane enables only water molecules to pass through when salt molecules are rejected. The forward desalination technique…
A company purchasing a forward contract is guaranteed the exchange rate agreed upon in the contract regardless of the market exchange rate. Therefore, the expected cost will not be affected if the domestic currency weakens, foreign currency strengthens, or both, resulting in an unfavorable fluctuation. However, companies are also not able to benefit if the domestic currency strengthens, foreign currency weakens, or both resulting in a favorable fluctuation. The cost for a company to hedge…
uncertainty in home currency terms. In this case, the company can hedge FX risk exposure by entering into a short USD/long GBP position in forward or futures contracts. The main advantage of this hedging is that it reduces FX risks and provides certainty on the receipt of the future net income. In particular, hedging can add value if net income received in USD represents a greater proportion of total company’s revenue (Muff et al, 2008). Conversely, if the company expected to meet its future…
Forward panic and paralysed victim According to Collins, ‘A forward panic starts with tension and fear in a conflict situation. This is the normal condition of violent conflict, but here the tension is prolonged and built up; it has a dramatic shape of increasing tension, striving toward a climax.’ (85) He offers situational examples for the reader to observe what actually happens into people's minds. One of them is a military instance from the Vietnam war (83). The soldier is under pressure,…
China went through several periods of turmoil and instability in the 20th century, among them the Great Leap Forward. Many books and articles have been written on this period.
