Abstract
In this paper, a new method is proposed for the speed control of a three-phase current forced synchronous machine drive. This metohd is based on the use of an approximate constant commutation safety margin angle in the output thyristor bridge of the drive system as well as on the compenastion of stator magnetization reaction. The commutation process in the output converter of the machine drive is naturally performed by means of the rotor induced emfs in the stator winding.
In comparsion with other speed control methods reported for these types of drives, this method is more stable and robust. In additon, higher efficency and power factor can be achieved for the synchronous machine drive through this method. The impacts of rotor damper windings on the drive system performance are also explained in the paper.

Abstract
Zinc was electrodeposited from an acidic sulphate solution on commercial steel sheet substrates galvanostatically at 10, 20, and 100 mA/cm2. The steel substrates had an average roughness number of 1.34 microns and a high percentage of its grains had their (111) planes parallel to the plate surface. During electrodeposition at 10 mA/cm2, on some specimens, there was an intense potential fluctuation around –870 mV vs Saturated Calomel Electrode (SCE). During this period zinc hydroxide precipitated on the surface. After a certain time, the potential dropped to –1020 for zinc deposition. Zinc nuclei were seen to precipitate from zinc hydroxide. Increasing current density changed nucleation mode from progressive to instantaneous, and also changed the size, morphology, and texture of zinc deposits.

Abstract
Routing is one of the basic parts of a message passing multiprocessor system. The routing procedure has a great impact on the efficiency of a system. Neural algorithms that are currently in use for computer networks require a large number of neurons. If a specific topology of a multiprocessor network is considered, the number of neurons can be reduced. In this paper a new recurrent neural network and its energy function is introduced. This network requires a significantly smaller number of neurons compared to its counterparts. Also presented is the performance of this neural network.

Abstract
In this paper, longshore sediment transport in littoral zones is investigated. For investigation of sediment transport in the nearshore zone, the effects of waves, currents and topographical conditions of coast are considered. Linear wave theory was used for the investigation of the wave behaviour. Governing equations of littoral current are continuity and momentum ones. For calculating concentraion profile of suspended sediments at depth, the convection-diffusion equations must be solved.
A computer program called “PLSTP” (Prediction of Sediment Transpornt in Littoral Zones) is developed for investigation of sediment transport process in littoral zones. The finite difference method is used for solving governing equations. The results show a good agreement between this model and the measurements available.
