Abstract: Pedestrian crossing activity at unmarked crosswalks on urban roads in developing countries like India is a common phenomenon. Pedestrians used to cross the road at their place of interest to access residential and commercial ...

Abstract: Incorporation of a thermoelectric (TE) device for heat regeneration and recovery can help realize adsorption systems that would be compact enough to fit inside electronic enclosures. Such a ...

Abstract: The interest in climate prediction has seen a rise in the number of modeling alternatives in recent years. One way to reduce the predictive uncertainty from any such modeling procedure is to combine or average the modeled ...

Abstract: Simulations from general circulation models are now being used for a variety of studies and purposes. With up to 23 different GCMs now available, it is desirable to determine whether a specific variable from a particular ...

Abstract: The asymptotic predictability of global land surface precipitation is estimated empirically at the seasonal time scale with lead times from 0 to 12 months. Predictability is defined as the unbiased estimate of predictive ...

Abstract: A statistical estimation approach is presented and applied to multiple reservoir inflow series that form part of Sydney?s water supply system. The approach involves first identifying sources of interannual and interdecadal ...
