RISA Theory of Flexoelectric Membranes and Effective Properties of Heterogeneous Membranes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent developments in flexoelectricity, especially in nanostructures, have lead to several interesting notions such as piezoelectric materials without using piezoelectric materials and enhanced energy harvesting at the ...
Rain-Rate Estimation in the Presence of Hail Using S-Band Specific Differential Phase and Other Radar Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiparameter radar measurements were made during a heavy rainfall event accompanied by hail in Colorado. Rainfall rates R and accumulation Σ for this event were estimated using S-band specific differential phase KDP, ...
Widening Absorption Band of Grating Structure With Complex Dual Groove Grating
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The wavelengthselective radiative property is becoming a noticeable requirement in various technological fields. There are many researches that have been focused on the radiative properties of metal periodic microstructure ...
A New Stabilized Finite Element Formulation for Solving Radiative Transfer Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new stabilized finite element formulation for solving radiative transfer equation is presented. It owns the salient feature of leastsquares finite element method (LSFEM), i.e., free of the tuning parameter that appears ...
Numerical Study of Damage Modes and Assessment of Circular RC Pier under Noncontact Explosions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Since the September 11, 21, attack in New York, the number and intensity of terrorist activities around the world have attracted our attention toward infrastructure systems. Also, unintentional explosions resulting from ...
Why Biological Cells Cannot Stay Spherical?
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biological cells are almost never truly spherical, even in the absence of an obvious cause that disrupts the cell’s symmetry. Using rather simple energy considerations, we show that even though all real biological cells ...
Analysis of the Copolar Correlation Coefficient between Horizontal and Vertical Polarizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent research has suggested that the copolar correlation coefficient termed ?h?(0) can be used to identity large hail and improve polarization estimates of rainfall. The typical measured values of ?h?(0) at S band vary ...
Evolution of a Florida Thunderstorm during the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment: The Case of 9 August 1991
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationships among kinematic, microphysical, and electric field properties within a multicell Florida thunderstorm are investigated using observations from three Doppler radars (one with multiple wavelength and ...
Toward an Operational Water Cycle Prediction System for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this time of a changing climate, it is important to know whether lake levels will rise, potentially causing flooding, or river flows will dry up during abnormally dry weather. The Great Lakes region is the largest ...
A PDRMIP Multimodel Study on the Impacts of Regional Aerosol Forcings on Global and Regional Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric aerosols such as sulfate and black carbon (BC) generate inhomogeneous radiative forcing and can affect precipitation in distinct ways compared to greenhouse gases (GHGs). Their regional effects on the ...
