Impact of rim weight and torque in discus performance
… the throwing process. The results from the experiment described in this paper were inconclusive, though there was a general trend that as the normal force into the discus increases, the angular velocity increased. However, this was minimally correlated from the data supplied.

Characterization of turbine rim seal flow and its sealing effectiveness
… air from the compressor is used to "purge" the rim seal cavities. Establishing a quantitative understanding of the wheelspace and rim cavity flow processes driving ingestion is critical to optimizing seal design and minimizing the associated performance penalty. A computational model of the …

A comparison of temper characteristics between Virgin Anasazi black-on-gray bowl rim sherds and plain gray jar rim sherds from Yama-2 and Yama-3
… Anasazi black-on-gray bowl and plain gray jar rim sherds from the sites of Yama-2 and Yama-3 show weak associations between those vessel forms and each of the following temper characteristics: temper sorting; temper percentage; temper angularity; and temper size. Black-on-gray bowl rim sherds …

Modelling and prediction of tire-rim slip with finite element analysis
In this thesis, tire-rim slip was simulated with a FEA model of a RHD truck tire. Multiple simulations were conducted to validate the model and investigate the effects of different parameters such as terrain type, tire-rim friction coefficient, drawbar load, vertical load, inflation pressure, and …

The Tibetan lam-rim genre : a comparative study focussing on five representative texts
… compares five major texts belonging to the lam-rim genre of Tibetan Buddhist literature. Although a few works from within this important genre have been translated into western languages, there has hitherto been no attempt to study the genre as a whole or to compare any of the diverse works …

A Geophysical Investigation Of The Northeastern Rim Of The St. Martin Impact Structure, Manitoba, Canada.
<p>The St. Martin impact structure is a 40 Km diameter structure located in Manitoba, Canada lies in featureless, glaciated terrain lacking any surface expression of an impact structure. The age of the structure has been re-determined to range between 224.3 Ma to 241.4 Ma which nullified a previous …
