Abstract: AbstractThis study explores the connection of Rossby wave breaking (RWB) with tropical and extratropical variability during the Atlantic hurricane season. The exploration emphasizes subtropical anticyclonic RWB events over ...

Abstract: It is demonstrated that the slip flow Reynolds equations for ultra low clearance gas bearings can be derived from kinetic theory by an approximation scheme appropriate for arbitrary Knudsen ...

Abstract: Lubricant fluxes and lubrication forces have been calculated for statistical realizations of a piecewise planar slider running over a smooth base with an incompressible lubricant. The statistics ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite element model of the elastica, without dissipation, in a form realizable in the laboratory: a set of rigid links connected by torsion springs. The model is shown ...

Abstract: In this paper, the exponential synchronization problem for fuzzy CohenGrossberg neural networks with timevarying delays, stochastic noise disturbance, and reactiondiffusion effects are investigated. By introducing a novel ...

Abstract: The functioning and performance of today’s integrated circuits and sensors are highly affected by the thermal properties of microscale silicon structures. Due to the well known size effect, the ...

Abstract: Risk control in project management has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. This paper proposes an approach based on a risk-assessment program and demonstrates how this can be extended to enhance the multimode ...
