RISHybrid Artificial Intelligence–Based PBA for Benchmark Functions and Facility Layout Design Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Facility layout design (FLD) presents a particularly interesting area of study because of its relatively high level of attention to aesthetics and usability qualities, in addition to common engineering objectives such as ...
How Does the Record July 1996 Illinois Rainstorm Affect Probable Maximum Precipitation Estimates?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The probable maximum precipitation (PMP), an estimate of the upper limit to storm rainfall, is determined using a catalog of extreme rainstorms. The effect of a recent extreme rainstorm—the northeastern Illinois storm of ...
A Joint Kurtosis Based Adaptive Bandstop Filtering and Iterative Autocorrelation Approach to Bearing Fault Detection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports a bearing fault detection method based on kurtosisbased adaptive bandstop filtering (KABS) and iterative autocorrelation (IAC). The interferences in the bearing signal can be removed by KABS filtering, ...
Design, Modeling and Testing of a Two Terminal Mass Device With a Variable Inertia Flywheel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a flywheel that can adaptively generate variable equivalent mass in response to application requirements. The motivation for the design comes from the need to achieve passive inertial mass, which ...
Combination of Multimodel Probabilistic Forecasts Using an Optimal Weighting System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, an optimal weighting system is developed that combines multiple seasonal probabilistic forecasts in the North American Multimodel Ensemble (NMME). The system is applied to predict temperature and ...
Virtual Reality Learning System for Digital Terrain Model Surveying Practice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research builds a virtual reality learning system for the digital terrain model surveying practice based on the triangular irregular network (TIN). The proposed system offers students an interactive, individual, ...
Matrix Organization Process Reengineering for Construction Firms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The matrix organization (MO) is widely used in construction project management. MOs contain two independently operating suborganizations, namely, functional organization (FO) and project organization (PO). FO and PO ...
Evaluation of Satellite Estimates of Land Surface Temperature from GOES over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive evaluation of split-window and triple-window algorithms to estimate land surface temperature (LST) from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) that were previously described by Sun and ...
Shortwave Radiative Fluxes on Slopes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: now-covered mountain ranges are a major source of water supply for runoff and groundwater recharge. Snowmelt supplies as much as 75% of the surface water in basins of the western United States. Net radiative fluxes make ...
ENSO Precipitation and Temperature Forecasts in the North American Multimodel Ensemble: Composite Analysis and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, precipitation and temperature forecasts during El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events are examined in six models in the North American Multimodel Ensemble (NMME), including the CFSv2, CanCM3, ...
