RISRelationship Between Compacted Rockfill Density and Gradation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The potential settlement of rockfill has been related to the gradation of the rockfill materials being utilized. No data has been published, however, which present criteria to differentiate the characteristics of rockfill ...
Construction and Performance of Two Large Rockfill Embankments
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: TWO rockfill embankments were constructed as sites for building refinery structures in western Colorado. The fills ranged in maximum thickness from 80‐155 ft (25‐48 m). Test fills were done to develop construction‐method ...
Estimation of Ultraviolet-B Irradiance under Variable Cloud Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Methods to estimate the irradiance of ultraviolet-B (UVB; 280?320 nm) radiation are needed to assess biological effects of changes in atmospheric composition. Measurements of the spatial distribution of sky cloud cover, ...
Obscured Overcast Sky Radiance Distributions for Ultraviolet and Photosynthetically Active Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sky radiance measurements in the wavelength bands of ultraviolet-B (0.28?0.32 ?m), ultraviolet-A (0.32?0.40 ?m), and photosynthetically active radiation (0.40?0.70 ?m) were made under obscured overcast skies in a rural ...

Analysis of Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engines for Cogeneration Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an evaluation of the applicability of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines for small-scale cogeneration (<1MWe) in comparison to five previously analyzed ...
A Study of Six Operational Sea Surface Temperature Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study results from recommendations made by a 1984 WMO Expert Committee on Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction Relevant to Long-Range Forecasting. The committee suggested that comparisons be carried out between monthly sea ...
Does Wrist Laxity Influence Three-Dimensional Carpal Bone Motion?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Previous two-dimensional (2D) studies have shown that there is a spectrum of carpal mechanics that varies between row-type motion and column-type motion as a function of wrist laxity. More recent three-dimensional (3D) ...
The Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling Field Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to describe a major field project on fog and summarize the preliminary results. Three field phases of the Fog Remote Sensing and Modeling (FRAM) project were conducted over the following ...
The GloSea4 Ensemble Prediction System for Seasonal Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: easonal forecasting systems, and related systems for decadal prediction, are crucial in the development of adaptation strategies to climate change. However, despite important achievements in this area in the last 10 years, ...
