Blast-Furnace-Gas Cleaning for Iron and Ferromanganese Production
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A process for removing the superfine smokes from ferromanganese blast-furnace gases having low investment and low operating cost is described. This method solves both the air and stream-pollution ...
A Simple Method for Measuring Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The glass-pipe technology used for RAFOS floats is applied to the monitoring of convection in deep mixed layers. The velocity of a vertical current is estimated from the relationship between the drag force exerted on a ...
Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil Rainfall
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reanlysis of the 121 years of annual rainfall data at Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, given in a note by Markham (1974) does not support the conclusion of periodicities or quasi-periodicities in the data. The hypotheses that the ...
Assessing the Accuracy of Long-Term Subsidence Derived from Borehole Extensometer Data Using GPS Observations: Case Study in Houston, Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated long-term land subsidence derived from borehole extensometer and Global Positioning System (GPS) observations from Addicks, a suburb located in West Houston, Texas. The Addicks borehole extensometer ...
People’s Participation in Disaster-Risk Reduction: Recentering Power
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: People’s participation is widely acknowledged as a necessary component of effective, efficient, and inclusive disaster-risk reduction. However, there is little reflection on how commitments for participation in disaster ...
Sustained Production of Multidecadal Climate Records: Lessons from the NOAA Climate Data Record Program
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he key objective of the NOAA Climate Data Record (CDR) program is the sustained production of high-quality, multidecadal time series data describing the global atmosphere, oceans, and land surface that can be used for ...
Comparisons of Ground-Based and Building-Based CORS: A Case Study in the Region of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated long-term observations from three pairs of closely spaced, continuously operating reference stations (CORS): STVI and VITH (2008–2014, 0.6 km apart), BYSP and PRHL (2008–2014, 3.2 km apart), and ...
