Abstract: Based on first principles, a theoretical model for El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is derived that consists of prognostic equations for sea surface temperature (SST) and for thermocline variation. Considering only the ...

Abstract: The dependence between spatiotemporally varied rainfall and watershed hydrology has long been recognized and studied using either synthetic or real storms/watersheds. To examine the relationship, the authors apply the storm ...

Abstract: The aim of the study was to design a novel radiofrequency (RF) electrode for larger and rounder ablation volumes and its ability to achieve the complete ablation of liver tumors larger than 3 cm in diameter using finite ...

Abstract: In a prior study, we proposed a novel monopolar expandable electrode (MEE) for use in radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The purpose of our work was to now validate and evaluate this electrode using on in vitro experimental ...

Abstract: The study of wind turbine wakes is very important for the layout of offshore wind farms. The technique of regulating the yaw angles of the upstream wind turbine to lessen the influence on the downstream turbines has attracted ...
