The Impact of Climate Disasters on the Cost of Equity Capital: Evidence from China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate change increases the probability and intensity of disaster and brings adverse impacts on social and economic activities. This paper presents the impact of climate risk on the cost of equity capital (COE) and sheds ...
An Optimization Design Method of a Cylindrical Roller Bearing With the Low Friction Torque
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The heat generated during the bearing working process would greatly affect the working life and stability of bearing and mechanical transmission system. To analyze the heat generation of cylindrical roller bearings (CRBs), ...
A Study of the Starting Characteristics of an Unlubricated Journal Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The complicated motion of the journal in an unlubricated bearing in response to an applied torque is analyzed. The theory identifies the conditions for various distinct modes of motion to ...

Contribution of Dissipative Heating to the Intensity Dependence of Tropical Cyclone Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated the contribution of dissipative heating (DH) to the maximum potential intensity (MPI) of tropical cyclones (TCs). Since DH is a function of near-surface wind speed and thus TC intensity, ...
Barriers to Safety Participation of Construction Workers in Project Organization from a Stress Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Safety participation of construction workers, as a manifestation of organizational citizenship behaviors, is essential for overall workplace safety. Workers’ safety participation may be influenced by both organizational ...
Investigating RAP Dispersion and Its Effect on the Performance of Recycled Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The migration of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mastic into the recycled hot-mix asphalt (RHMA) mixture system during the hot-mix process results in varying dispersion degrees of RAP aggregates within RHMA, impacting its ...
Nanoscratch Study of the Modification Effects of NanoSiO2 on C─ S─ H Gel/Cement Grain Interfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Computation of Potential Evapotranspiration Using a Two-Source Method for the Xin’anjiang Hydrological Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, a physically based two-source potential evapotranspiration (PE) model was developed to calculate the spatio-temporal variation of PE over the Hanzhong watershed in China. The calculated PE was then integrated ...
