Abstract: he role of physical forcing mechanisms that contribute to the decay of winter North Atlantic extratropical cyclones during the period 1979?2009 are examined using the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and ...

Abstract: his series of papers (parts I and II) examines the vorticity budgets of winter North Atlantic extratropical cyclones during the period 1979?2009 using the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Application ...

Abstract: In order to assess quantitatively the role of drop disintegrations in producing the electrification of warm clouds, it is necessary to establish the electrohydrodynamical equations governing the stability of drops subjected ...

Abstract: Control barrier function-based quadratic program (CBF-QP) provides an avenue for agile and numerically efficient obstacle avoidance algorithms. However, the CBF-QP methods may lead to lengthy detours and undesirable avoidance ...

Abstract: In this paper, a controller called dynamic matrix constrained variable structure controller (DM-CVSC) is proposed. The controller takes advantages of both dynamic matrix (DM) and constrained variable structure controllers. ...

Abstract: An iterative search technique has been followed to find the minimum weigh plastic design of nonuniform, builtup steel I-beams or girders continuous over two or three symmetrical spans. The unstiffened web has a parabolic ...

Abstract: A single set of equations is developed to predict the mean flow characteristics in long circular pipes operating at laminar, transitional, and turbulent Reynolds numbers. Generally good agreement ...
