Abstract: The main objective of the present study is the investigation of volume fraction effects on the collision statistics of nonsettling inertial particles in a granular medium as well as suspended ...

Abstract: Daily new snow measurements are very important for avalanche forecasting and tourism. A dense network of manual or automatic stations measuring snowfall is necessary to have spatially reliable data. Snow stations in ...

Abstract: In the semianalytical models for squeeze film damping, the coefficient of damping torque is expressed as an infinite double series. To work with these models, methods for the efficient numerical evaluation of these double ...

Abstract: his work examines the life cycle of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) from composites of a large number of events. The events are sampled from idealized general circulation model (GCM) integrations and form a database ...

Abstract: Despite what many researchers, governments, and commentators say, there is a considerable amount of innovation that occurs in the construction industry. Negative opinions of construction innovation are often misinformed ...

Abstract: The shallow water equations are used to investigate the interaction of planetary wave-breaking with a ?diabatic? forcing. The numerical integrations demonstrate the formation of a sharp gradient in potential vorticity at ...

Abstract: Thermodynamic and aerodynamic measurements were carried out in a linear turbine cascade with transonic flow field. Heat transfer and adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness resulting from the interaction ...

Abstract: There is increasing evidence that the nature of corporate planning in business is moving toward external strategic concepts of sustainable competitive advantage (SCA). There is some evidence that this is beginning to happen ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for the remodeling of collagen gels is proposed. The collagen fabric is modeled as a network of collagen fibers, which in turn are composed of collagen fibrils. In the ...
