RISA Recent Shift in the Monsoon Centers Associated with the Tropospheric Biennial Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe tropospheric biennial oscillation (TBO) is conventionally considered to involve transitions between the Indian and Australian summer monsoons and the interactions between these two monsoons and the underlying ...
Multibody Dynamic Model of Web Guiding System With Moving Web
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a multibody dynamic model is established to simulate the dynamics and control of moving web with its guiding system, where the term moving web is used to describe thin materials, ...
Stepwise Response Surface Method and its Application in Reliability Analysis of Ship Hull Structure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A stepwise response surface approach is proposed in this paper. The response surface is determined by modified stepwise regression, so that the square and cross terms can be absorbed into the ...
Distribution Characteristics of Vehicle-Specific Power on Urban Restricted-Access Roadways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The development of new fuel consumption and emission models creates the need to characterize traffic conditions by using vehicle-specific power (VSP) distribution. However, in existing transportation engineering, there has ...
Development of Speed Correction Factors Based on Speed-Specific Distributions of Vehicle Specific Power for Urban Restricted-Access Roadways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Precise facility-specific speed correction factors (SCFs) are important parameters for direct and quick evaluation of the effect of traffic flow variations on vehicle emissions. However, the traditional method in developing ...

Aggregate Fuel Consumption Model of Light-Duty Vehicles for Evaluating Effectiveness of Traffic Management Strategies on Fuels
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The primary objective of this research is to develop a practical model for evaluating the effects of traffic management on fuel efficiency. The relationships between the real-world driving activities, the vehicle specific ...
How to Improve the Transit Service with Integrated Operational Strategies Considering Emissions under Heterogeneous Demand
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recently, traffic problems such as congestion and emission have been increasing. Transit travel is considered to be one of the effective ways to relieve these problems. The attractiveness of transit travel can be improved ...
How Dependence Asymmetry and Explicit Contract Shape Contractor–Subcontractor Collaboration: A Psychological Perspective of Fairness
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The contractor–subcontractor relationship is evolving from a traditional structure to a collaborative and partnering arrangement, leading to subcontracting project success and relationship stability as dual goals. ...
Modeling and Experimental Validation of MCI Transport Involving Pore-Blocking Effect in Cement-Based Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A mathematical model for the transport process of migrating corrosion inhibitor (MCI) in cement-based material and a two-dimensional numerical solution method using commercially-available software are proposed. The numerical ...
