Numerical Modeling of Sulfur and Nitrogen Chemistry in a Narrow Cold-Frontal Rainband: The Impact of Meteorological and Chemical Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To better understand the impact of various meteorological and chemical parameters on chemical deposition from winter storms, the chemistry and microphysics of a narrow cold-frontal rainband and its associated stratiform ...
A Micromechanically Based Anisotropic Constitutive Model for the Microtubule Wall
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microtubules serve as one of the structural components of the cell and govern several important cellular functions including mitosis and vesicular transport. Microtubules are comprised of tubulin ...
A Finite Element Based Die Design Algorithm for Sheet-Metal Forming on Reconfigurable Tools
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tooling cost is a major contributor to the total cost of small-lot production of sheet metal components. Within the framework of an academic/industrial/government partnership devoted to the ...
Mechanics of Indentation into Micro- and Nanoscale Forests of Tubes, Rods, or Pillars
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The force-depth behavior of indentation into fibrillar-structured surfaces such as those consisting of forests of micro- or nanoscale tubes or rods is a depth-dependent behavior governed by ...
Microphysical Processes Associated with Intense Frontal Rainbands and the Effect of Evaporation and Melting on Frontal Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that a surface cold front often coincides with a heavy band of precipitation commonly designated as a narrow cold-frontal rainband. The maximum rainfall rate within this band can exceed 100?200 ...
Optimization of Water Quality Monitoring Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water quality and biological monitoring provide an indication of the degree to which the natural environment has been affected by anthropogenic‐activities. Currently, this monitoring is both expensive and time‐consuming. ...
Large-Eddy Simulation of Flow and Scalar Transport in a Modeled Street Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses large-eddy simulation (LES) to illustrate the flow and turbulence structure and to investigate the mechanism of passive scalar transport in a street canyon. Calculations for a modeled street canyon with ...
Memory Matters: A Case for Granger Causality in Climate Variability Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn climate variability studies, lagged linear regression is frequently used to infer causality. While lagged linear regression analysis can often provide valuable information about causal relationships, lagged ...
Mechanics of Biomacromolecular Networks Containing Folded Domains
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The force-extension behavior of single modular biomacromolecules is known to exhibit a characteristic repeating pattern of a nonlinear rise in force with imposed displacement to a peak, followed ...
Large-Eddy Simulation of Flow and Pollutant Transport in Street Canyons of Different Building-Height-to-Street-Width Ratios
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study employs a large-eddy simulation technique to investigate the flow, turbulence structure, and pollutant transport in street canyons of building-height-to-street-width (aspect) ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 at a ...
