LGBT-Friendly Workplaces in Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are everywhere in engineering; we are members of the National Academy of Engineering, deans of engineering schools, and corporate executives; we are on the shop floor, ...
Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Decay Under the Influence of Uniform or Random Magnetic Fields
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We perform direct numerical simulations of decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence subject to initially uniform or random magnetic fields. We investigate the following features: (i) kinetic–magnetic ...
Untitled
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe November 2011 Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) event during the Dynamics of the MJO (DYNAMO) field campaign is simulated with the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) cloud-resolving model to examine the ...
Interannual Variation in Hydrologic Budgets in an Amazonian Watershed with a Coupled Subsurface–Land Surface Process Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe central Amazon forest is projected to experience larger interannual precipitation variability, with uncertain impacts on terrestrial hydrologic fluxes. How surface runoff, groundwater, and evapotranspiration ...
Control of Sliding-Isolated Buildings Using Sliding-Mode Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on the theory of continuous sliding-mode control, control methods are presented for seismic-excited buildings isolated by a frictional-type sliding-isolation system. The dynamic behavior of the building equipped with ...
Atmosphere–Ocean Coupled Energy Budgets of Tropical Convective Discharge–Recharge Cycles
