Nongeostrophic Baroclinic Instability in a Two-Fluid Layer Rotating System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interfacial stability of two differentially rotating fluid layers in a tall, right circular cylinder is investigated analytically and experimentally. The differential speeds are such that the Ekman and Rossby numbers ...
In Vivo Characterization of the Swine Airway Morphometry and Motion Based on Computed Tomographic Imaging During Respiration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Swine are a commonly used model in translational pulmonary research. However, in vivo airway morphometry during respiration has not been studied in extensive detail using modern imaging tools. Chest computed tomographic ...
Feasibility and Acute Safety Study of Radiofrequency Energy Delivery to the Vena Caval Wall Via an Inferior Vena Cava Filter in Swine
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Retrievable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are self-expanding metallic devices implanted in the IVC to prevent migration of thrombi from the deep veins of the legs and pelvis to the lungs. The risk of complications from ...
WIVERN: A New Satellite Concept to Provide Global In-Cloud Winds, Precipitation, and Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a conically scanning spaceborne Dopplerized 94-GHz radar Earth science mission concept: Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope (WIVERN). WIVERN aims to provide global measurements of in-cloud winds using ...
