Abstract: The evolution of a separated boundary layer over a model airfoil with semicircular leading-edge has been illustrated for angles of attack (α) varying from −3 deg to 10 deg, where the Reynolds number (Rec) based on chord ...

Abstract: The correlation between observed values of atmospheric greenhouse trapping and sea surface temperature is found to vary seasonally. Atmospheric greenhouse trapping is defined here as the difference between infrared emissions ...

Abstract: he International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) B1 data, which were recently rescued at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration?s National Climatic Data Center (NOAA/NCDC), are a resource for the ...

Abstract: Structural parts in gas turbines undergo fretting wear, and as clearances open up, it turns into impact wear. Uncoated cobaltbased substrates that are used in such applications show poor resistance to fretting/impact damage ...

Abstract: Adjacentlevel disease is a common iatrogenic complication seen among patients undergoing spinal fusion for low back pain. This is attributed to the postsurgical differences in stiffness between the spinal levels, which ...

Abstract: In the thoracolumbar region, between 7% and 30% of spinal fusion failures are at risk for pseudarthrosis. From a biomechanical perspective, the nonconformity of the intervertebral graft to the endplate surface could ...
