Abstract: STEM education, encompassing engineering and technology as well as science and math, was identified as a national crisis as long ago as 2005, when the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published the ...

Abstract: A parameterization of the infrared clear-sky emissivity of the atmosphere at monthly to annual time scales and local to zonal space scales is developed. The total emissivity is the sum of contributions from ozone, assigned ...

Abstract: The literature is absent a practical framework for understanding the effect of design-assist (D-A) subcontracting on project outcomes. This paper puts forth such a framework and develops an inventory of unresolved issues ...

Abstract: Idealized 3D numerical simulations are used to quantify the impact of moving marine atmospheric boundary layers (MABLs) on squall lines in an environment representative of the U.S. mid-Atlantic coastal plain. Characteristics ...

Abstract: The literature is lacking an operational framework for understanding the relationship between postbid negotiation and resulting project performance measures (e.g., cost, schedule, quality, safety, and relationships). ...

Abstract: Scientists are developing a wide variety of technologies to solve the urgent problem of water shortages across the world. In fact, many have been working for decades on finding better and more economical ways to turn ...
