Abstract: This paper presents a time series analysis of historical observations of wind speed in order to project future wind speed trends. For this study, 52 years of data have been used from seven ...

Abstract: High-strength adhesives provide an alternative, and potentially more efficient, load-bearing connection to conventional bolted connections in glass structures, but the relative structural performance of these connections ...

Abstract: As wind and solar power play increasingly important roles in the European energy system, unfavorable weather conditions, such as “Dunkelflaute” (extended calm and cloudy periods), will pose ever greater challenges to ...

Abstract: Water-budget components and the average vertical conductance were determined for Magnolia Lake in north-central Florida. At Magnolia Lake, a large part of the ground-water outflow occurs by means of vertical leakage through ...

Abstract: A waveguide absorber is a device mounted on a vibrating structure at the selected points to transfer energy from the structure to the device which dampens the energy. The waveguide absorbers ...

Abstract: Numerous evaluation metrics and standards are being proposed across industry and government to measure and monitor the energy efficiency of data centers. However, the energy use of data centers ...
