Abstract: AbstractMethods for generating ensemble mean precipitation forecasts from convection-allowing model (CAM) ensembles based on a simple average of all members at each grid point can have limited utility because of amplitude ...

Abstract: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a commonly used natural polymer for cell scaffolding. Modification by methacrylate allows it to be polymerized by free radicals via addition of an initiator, e.g., lightsensitive Irgacure, to form ...

Abstract: In various practical problems, such as assessing the threat of aircraft icing or calculating radiative transfer, it is important to know whether mixed-phase clouds contain significant liquid water content. Some mixed-phase ...

Abstract: The main goal of this study is to investigate the relative contributions from the components of dynamics and physics of a forecast model, toward the understanding of the recurvature dynamics of hurricanes. A number of ...

Abstract: The existence of extreme events in data sets can distort the accuracy of computed statistics. Some favor censoring outliers while others oppose censoring measured values. Detection methods are available for use in the ...

Abstract: The condition of eccentric discharge is known to be one of the most critical for the design of thin-walled cylindrical metal silos. Significant progress has been made in recent years in devising a relatively realistic set ...

Abstract: The characteristics of fuel lean homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) operation using a variety of fuels are well known and have been demonstrated using different engine concepts in ...

Abstract: Using a composite procedure, North American Mesoscale Model (NAM) forecast and observed environments associated with zonally oriented, quasi-stationary surface fronts for 64 cases during July?August 2006?08 were examined ...

Abstract: Dent imperfections in internally pressurized shells have a stress concentration effect. In cylindrical shells under internal pressure, such as pipelines, stress concentrations associated with dent imperfections can degrade ...

Abstract: Reported here are the diaphyseal cross-sectional geometrical properties of two fossilized femora from Kenya dated at
