Abstract: t is widely accepted that air?sea interaction is one of the key factors in controlling tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. However, the physical mechanisms for connecting the upper ocean and air?sea interface with storm ...

Abstract: he atmospheric boundary layer (BL) in tropical cyclones (TCs) connects deep convection within rainbands and the eyewall to the air?sea interface. Although the importance of the BL in TCs has been widely recognized in recent ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of the start of injection (SOI) timing and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate on the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions of a biodieselpowered diesel engine are studied with computational fluid ...

Abstract: The rapid intensification of Hurricane Katrina followed by the devastation of the U.S. Gulf States highlights the critical role played by an upper-oceanic thermal structure (such as the ocean eddy or Loop Current) in ...

Abstract: Belief in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) use in the construction industry is an underexplored topic. Although literature concerning the use of ADR continues to grow, previous studies, however, failed to investigate ...

Abstract: The use of natural gas in compression ignition (CI) engines as a supplement to diesel under dualfuel combustion mode is a promising technique to increase efficiency and reduce emissions. In this study, the effect of dualfuel ...

Abstract: Acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE), as the intermediate product during producing biobutanol by fermentation, is considered as a promising alternative fuel due to its advanced properties and lower recovery cost. The spray ...
