A REVIEW OF WATER QUALITY POLICIES IN RELATION TO PUBLIC GOOD BENEFITS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IN RURAL IRELAND

A review of water quality policies in relation to public good benefits and community engagement in rural Ireland

This paper examines current recreational water use in the rural landscape in Ireland and reviews current EU policies and national regulations aimed at protecting water Figurines quality and the wider environment under agri-environmental schemes.Specifically, we review policy instruments that protect water for recreational use, their impacts and the

A Porous Media Model for the Numerical Simulation of Acoustic Attenuation by Perforated Liners in the Presence of Grazing Flows

In this paper, a novel model is proposed for the numerical simulation of noise-attenuating perforated liners.Effusion cooling liners offer the potential of being able to attenuate combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines.However, the acoustic attenuation of a perforated liner is a combination of a number of interacting factors, resulting in

Optimization-Based Discontinuous Observation Strategy for Micro-Doppler Signature Extraction of Space Cone Targets

In order to obtain relatively complete micro-Doppler (m-D) signatures of space precession cone targets, at least one precession period of dwell time is always required.In practice, most of the space cone targets do precession with a relativity low frequency (i.e., 0.5-1 Hz), which means second-level dwell time is necessary.However, second-level dwe

Control of Different-Axis Two-Wheeled Self-Balancing Vehicles

This paper investigates the controls of straight running and turning of a different-axis two-wheeled self-balancing (DATWSB) vehicle.The inverted pendulum system (IPS) with Collections gyroscopic effect is used to describe the uncertainty caused by the working conditions.Based on the generalized coordinate systems, the nonlinear mathematical model
