Abstract: The Internet has revolutionized the way computing is done and the way software systems work. Many systems, such as search engines and PC games, have utilized Web-related technologies for Web-based systems. However, the ...
Hybrid Neural Network Models for Postprocessing Medium-Range Forecasts of Tropical Cyclone Tracks over the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasts derived from dynamical models inherit their errors. In this study, a neural network (NN) algorithm was proposed for postprocessing TC tracks predicted by the Global Ensemble Forecast ...
Effects of Intraluminal Thrombus on Patient Specific Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Hemodynamics via Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocity and Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The pathology of the human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and its relationship to the later complication of intraluminal thrombus (ILT) formation remains unclear. The hemodynamics in the diseased abdominal aorta are ...
