There is growing concern about climate change impacts on local government areas.In Australia, the federal carbon tax (from 1 July 2012) will also increase costs for local councils.This paper evaluates what carbon mitigation (i.e.energy, water, and waste management) actions have been implemented by metropolitan Adelaide councils (n=14) and why (or w
In this article, we study a diffusive prey-predator model with flexcon reverse osmosis water storage tank modified Leslie-Gower term and Michaelis-Menten type prey harvesting, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions.Treating the prey harvesting parameter as a bifurcation parameter, we obtain the existence, bifurcation and stability of
Served as a core component, the performance of the hydraulic transformer (HT) directly affects the energy-saving performance of the common pressure rail (CPR) system.The pressure reduction process of HT is accompanied by an expansion of the plunger cavity, which can result in a steep pressure drop and lead to cavitation under certain working parame
In a previous paper the authors compared the AC-AC converters, useful for the frequency click here regulation in hydroelectric microplants varying the power dissipated in ballasts loads, with the new proposal consisting in a bridge three-phase rectifier using diodes with a serial switch with the load that is switched with symmetric angle.The paper
