RISClosure to “Energy Management Reduces Great Pyramid Build Effort by More Than 98%” by Gerard C. A. Fonte
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Energy Management Reduces Great Pyramid Build Effort by More Than 98%
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The general consensus of most archaeologists is that approximately 25,000 workers labored for 23 years to build the Great Pyramid in Egypt at Giza. However, by examining the “mysterious tools” and other clues left behind ...
An Eigenvalue Problem for the Analysis of Variable Topology Mechanical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Mechanical systems with time-varying topology appear frequently in natural or human-made artificial systems. The nature of topology transitions is a key characteristic in the functioning of such ...
New Method That Solves the Three-Point Resection Problem Using Straight Lines Intersection
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The three-point resection problem, i.e., the problem of obtaining the position of an unknown point from relative angular measurements to three known stations is a basic operation in surveying engineering. Several approaches ...
A Detailed Description of Flow-Deck Interaction in Consecutive Green Water Events
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper gives a detailed description of the main hydrodynamic characteristics of different types of green water events occurring on a fixed structure in a series of experiments. High-speed video, at 250 fps, was used ...
Upper Extremity Joint Torque Estimation Through an Electromyography-Driven Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cerebrovascular accidents like a stroke can affect the lower limb as well as upper extremity joints (i.e., shoulder, elbow, or wrist) and hinder the ability to produce necessary torque for activities of daily living. In ...
Neuromusculoskeletal Model Calibration Significantly Affects Predicted Knee Contact Forces for Walking
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Though walking impairments are prevalent in society, clinical treatments are often ineffective at restoring lost function. For this reason, researchers have begun to explore the use of patientspecific computational walking ...
Observations on the Circulation in the Alboran Sea Using ERSI Altimetry and Sea Surface Temperature Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the altimeter onboard the European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERSI) was used to Study the circulation of the Alboran Sea between 35° and 38°N, 0° and 6°W. This region is dominated by two anticyclonic gyres that ...
Identification of Marine Eddies from Altimetric Maps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is presented to detect eddy cores from sea level anomaly (SLA) maps obtained from altimetric measurements. The method is based on finding the sign of Q, which is an invariant of the velocity gradient tensor ...
Vortices of the Mediterranean Sea: An Altimetric Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The presence of coherent vortices makes observed mesoscale fields of the ocean resemble two-dimensional turbulence. Using this analogy, a common definition of a coherent structure has been used to study the statistical ...
