RISCONVECTIVE PHENOMENA IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several convective phenomena in the atmosphere (dry thermals, cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds, etc.) are considered in terms of a simple scheme for the development of convective circulations. Special attention is drawn to ...
Icebergs and Sea Ice Detected with Inverted Echo Sounders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 1-yr experiment using a pressure-sensor-equipped inverted echo sounder (PIES) was conducted in Sermilik Fjord in southeastern Greenland (66°N, 38°E) from August 2011 to September 2012. Based on these high-latitude data, ...
Hydrologic and Erosion Models to Assess Land Use and Management Practices Affecting Soil Erosion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We developed a new, coupled, hydrologic-erosion model and a targeted field data-collection program to quantify hillslope soil erosion rates and sediment yield in semiarid regions. While the methodology has a wide range of ...
Machine Learning Approaches for Error Correction of Hydraulic Simulation Models for Canal Flow Schemes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modernization of today’s irrigation systems attempts to improve system efficiency and management effectiveness of every component of the system (reservoirs, canals, and gates) using automation technologies, along with ...
Estimation of Spatially Distributed Evapotranspiration Using Remote Sensing and a Relevance Vector Machine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the development of surface energy balance analyses, remote sensing has become a spatially explicit and quantitative methodology for understanding evapotranspiration (ET), a critical requirement for water resources ...
A Practical Measurement of Parkinson's Patients Gait Using Simple Walker-Based Motion Sensing and Data Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present personal aid for mobility and monitoring (PAMM II), an instrumented walker for Parkinson's disease (PD) patients' gait monitoring. The objective of the walker is to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of PD ...
Improvement in Lung Insufflation in Spontaneously Breathing Tracheostomized Patients by Using a New Pulmonary Expansion Device: A Pilot Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lung expansion techniques (LETs) are a key component of pulmonary rehabilitation. Nevertheless, these can be limited in tracheostomized patients because of the infraglottic position of tracheostomy cannulas. We propose a ...
Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Photochemical Processes Based on Solar Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: The solar photo-Fenton process has enormous potential for becoming a viable alternative to conventional processes for the treatment of industrial wastewater. However, the costs associated ...
Computational Simulation and Suppression of Oscillation Caused by Vertical Planar Jet Impinging onto a Free Surface
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In recent studies, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in OpenFOAM have been used to model the oscillation of a planar jet impinging onto a free surface and analyze methods to suppress the subsequent flow ...
