The non-overflow concrete sections of the dam include a 225 foot long power intake section on the United States side and a 223-foot long power intake section on the Mexico side. Maximum height of the dam is 254 feet with crest elevation of the spillway section at elevation 1086.4 feet above mean sea level. This report provides a complete record of foundation conditions encountered during construction of the Amistad Power Plant. Information will be valuable when evaluating (1) necessary remedial action required to prevent or repair any failures resulting from foundation deficiencies, (2) contractor claims related to foundation conditions or alleged change of conditions, and (3) planning and design of future comparable construction projects.
Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Liquid Coldplate Design Design and Manufacturing Liquid Cooled Heat Sinks for Electronics Cooling written by Clifford N. Hayner (II) and published by . This book was released on 2014-07 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of electronics cooling has routinely encountered the high heat flux removal that cannot be handled by air cooling systems. The design and application of liquid cooled cold plates is an important aspect of being able to provide cooling for these high heat flux technologies. The intent of this book is to provide the reader with the approach to designing and implementing liquid cold plates. The book will describe the methods to designing liquid cold plates. The fundamental theory behind the heat transfer and fluid mechanics occurring in the cold plates is presented. A state of art review of cold plate developments and industrial practices is included to familiarize the reader with the possible alternatives. One of the highlights of the book is the inclusion of a detailed insight into manufacturing techniques for producing conventional and custom-made liquid cold plates. Some of the common issues and complexities related to manufacturing these cold plates are also presented as case studies. Finally, a few examples of utilizing liquid cold plates are provided. The book is written by a team of three recognized leaders in the field of electronics cooling technology. Cliff Hayner compiled his lifetime industrial experience on designing and manufacturing the cold plates before his sad demise during the production of the book. He provided the manufacturing insight that is rarely discussed in cold plate design literature. Mark Steinke is an accomplished researcher working at IBM, Research Triangle Park, NC. Satish Kandlikar, a professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, has been engaged in advanced cooling system research for over thirty years. The book presents a unique combination of the three complimentary viewpoints in guiding the reader through the entire design and manufacturing process. The book is also intended to serve as a textbook for graduate level courses and special workshops for cold plate design.

Download or read book Resource Optimization and Security for Cloud Services written by Kaiqi Xiong and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes a study of trustworthiness, percentile response time, service availability, and authentication in the networks between users and cloud service providers, and at service stations or sites that may be owned by different service providers. The first part of the book contains an analysis of percentile response time, which is one of the most important SLA (service level agreements) metrics. Effective and accurate numerical solutions for the calculation of the percentile response time in single-class and multi-class queueing networks are obtained. Then, the numerical solution is incorporated in a resource allocation problem. Specifically, the authors present an approach for the resource optimization that minimizes the total cost of computer resources required while preserving a given percentile of the response time. In the second part, the approach is extended to consider trustworthiness, service availability, and the percentile of response time in Web services. These QoS metrics are clearly defined and their quantitative analysis provided. The authors then take into account these QoS metrics in a trust-based resource allocation problem in which a set of cloud computing resources is used by a service provider to host a typical Web services application for single-class customer services and multipleclass customer services respectively. Finally, in the third part of the book a thorough performance evaluation of two notable public key cryptography-based authentication techniques; Public-Key Cross Realm Authentication in Kerberos (PKCROSS) and Public Key Utilizing Tickets for Application Servers (PKTAPP, a.k.a. KX.509/KCA); is given, in terms of computational and communication times. The authors then demonstrate their performance difference using queuing networks. PKTAPP has been proposed to address the scalability issue of PKCROSS. However, their in-depth analysis of these two techniques shows that PKTAPP does not perform better than PKCROSS in a large-scale system. Thus, they propose a new public key cryptography-based group authentication technique. The performance analysis demonstrates that the new technique can scale better than PKCORSS and PKTAPP.

Download or read book Nihilism and Metaphysics written by Vittorio Possenti and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the idea that nihilism has supplanted metaphysics, Vittorio Possenti finds in this philosophical turn the grounds for a mature renewal of metaphysics. Possenti takes the reader on a "third voyage" that goes beyond the "second voyage" indicated by Plato in the Phaedo. He traces the ascendancy of nihilism in philosophy, offering critical examinations of Nietzsche, Gentile, Heidegger, Habermas, Husserl, Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Vattimo. With penetrating accounts of philosophical movements such as hermeneutics and logical empiricism, rich with both historical and theoretical insights, Possenti provides a compelling defense of the power of human reason to apprehend the most obvious but also the most profound aspect of things: that they exist. By exploring the ubiquity of nihilism and probing its philosophical roots, Possenti clears the way for a fresh reformulation of metaphysics.
