Challenging Values: Financial, Social, and Political
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The importance of successful urban regeneration that improves the economy and meets the needs of the people is discussed.
Channel-Bed Scour with High versus Low Deflectors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Deflectors are recognized as one of the best devices for enhancing deep-water habitat in low-gradient channels. Modern design standards recommended the use of low-profile structures intended to function primarily at a lower ...
THE SHAPE OF RAINDROPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An investigation of the physical shape of raindrops using two cameras at right angles is described, and the results are tabulated and graphed. The data included measurements of 1783 raindrops of which 569 were classified ...
Comments on “A Z-R Relationship for the GATE B-Scale Array”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that the Z-R relationship determined by Cunning and Sax (1977) includes additional useful information of cloud physics. The physical processes by which the tropical rainshafts were formed was simple, probably ...
EFFECT OF HOUSING SHAPE ON THE CATCH OF RECORDING GAGES
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The reduction in catch due to the shape of the housing of the U.S. Weather Bureau standard recording gage was explored using data from Weather Bureau stations with both recording and nonrecording gages, a gaging site which ...
Fluid Loaded Structures With One Dimensional Disorder
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reviews the problem of the vibration of fluid loaded structures with one dimensional disorder. There are two aspects which are important in understanding the behavior of such systems: ...
A Century of Monitoring Weather and Crops: The Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Publication of a national weekly weather summary called the Weekly Weather Chronicle began in 1872. This summary was the precursor of today's Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin (WWCB), a publication that reports global weather ...
Frontal Instability in a Sheared Basic State
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-layer frontal model is adapted to investigate the stability of fronts in the presence of potential vorticity (PV) anomalies corresponding to cross-front shear of the mean alongfront flow. Introducing shear modifies ...
Expanded Polystyrene Lost Foam Casting—Modeling Bead Steaming Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The retention of pattern voids observed in the production of expandable polystyrene patterns for lost foam casting can be traced to conditions developed during mold filling and subsequent steaming. ...
