RISReview of <i>The Vulnerability of Cities: Natural Disasters and Social Resilience</i> by Mark Pelling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Flame Flashback Within Turbulent Streams of Lean Homogeneous Fuel Mixtures and Air
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The flame flashback limit represents the minimum concentration of the fuel in the stream of homogeneous mixtures of fuel and air at which a flame can propagate upstream against the direction ...
Evaluation of Angle to Be Subtended by the Spiral of Semispiral Casings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A hydrodynamic model is considered for estimating the angle to be subtended by the spiral portion of high specific speed axial flow water turbine casings. The results are correlated with the ...
Stable Centered-Difference Schemes, Based on an Unstaggered A Grid, That Eliminate Two-Grid Interval Noise
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of a centered-difference scheme on an unstaggered horizontal grid in time-dependent atmospheric or oceanic models leads to spurious two-grid-interval wave solutions that may appear as small-scale noise and mask the ...
A Semi-Implicit Runge–Kutta Time-Difference Scheme for the Two-Dimensional Shallow-Water Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A semi-implicit, two time-level, three-step iterative time-difference scheme is proposed for the two-dimensional nonlinear shallow-water equations in a conservative flux form. After a semi-implicit linearization of the ...
An Explicit Time-Difference Scheme with an Adams–Bashforth Predictor and a Trapezoidal Corrector
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new predictor-corrector time-difference scheme that employs a second-order Adams?Bashforth scheme for the predictor and a trapezoidal scheme for the corrector is introduced. The von Neumann stability properties of the ...
Modeling Hydrologic Processes and NPS Pollution in a Small Watershed in Subhumid Subtropics Using SWAT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) has been calibrated and validated to predict stream flow, and to transport sediment and non-point source (NPS) pollutants to the downstream water resources from a small (1,695 ha) ...
CMIP5 Projected Change in Northern Hemisphere Winter Cyclones with Associated Extreme Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, 19 simulations from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) have been analyzed to examine how winter cyclones producing extreme near-surface winds are projected to change. Extreme ...
Investigation into Lead Time of Construction Materials and Influencing Factors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An appropriate material-management strategy requires estimation of, and classification based on, the lead time of construction materials. To estimate the lead time precisely, the identification of the factors that influence ...
Examining the Effect of Material Management Issues on the Schedule and Cost Performance of Construction Projects Based on a Structural Equation Model: Survey of Indian Experiences
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: An effective material management system is key to the success of construction projects. However, the Indian construction industry suffers from many material management issues that lead to ineffectiveness in the material ...
