RISLong-Term Observations of Tropical Instability Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reynolds sea surface temperature (SST) data showing tropical instability waves (TIWs) in the tropical Pacific are analyzed along with current measurements from the Tropical Atmosphere?Ocean (TAO) buoy array and wind speeds ...

Government Cost of Extending Concession Term Rights
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A widespread practice used in concession-based public private–partnerships (PPPs) arrangements consists of granting the concessionaire the right, under certain circumstances, to extend the concession term under a ...
Transmission Asset Investment in Electricity Markets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: We construct a general analytic framework for the transmission network investment problem in the market environment and demonstrate its application to some test systems. We define a set of metrics to quantify the improvement ...
Engineering Aspects of the Integration of Chemical and Biological Oxidation: Simple Mechanistic Models for the Oxidation Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Oxidation processes can oxidize biorecalcitrant compounds into biodegradable intermediates, which in turn can be treated less expensively by a subsequent biological process. To design such a two-step (chemical+biological) ...
Fourth Avenue Landslide during 1964 Alaskan Earthquake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a reevaluation of the Fourth Avenue landslide in Anchorage that occurred during the 1964 Alaskan earthquake. Laboratory constant volume ring shear and field vane shear tests were used to measure the ...
High-Resolution Observations of Insects in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High spatial and temporal resolution S-band radar observations of insects in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are described. The observations were acquired with a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar during ...
Characterization of Steel Bridge Superstructure Deterioration through Data Mining Techniques
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With a significant number of steel bridges approaching the end of their service life, understanding deterioration characteristics will help bridge stakeholders better prioritize bridge maintenance, repairs, and rehabilitation ...
Coarse-Grained Debris-Flows: Hysteresis and Time-Dependent Rheology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rheometer tests of coarse-grained debris-flow material show hysteresis of yield stress, the degree of which depends on maximum grain size, solids concentration, and normal stress. Coarse-grained debris-flow material did ...
