Characterizing Pipe Wall Demand: Implications for Water Quality Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It has become generally accepted that water quality can deteriorate in a distribution system through reactions in the bulk phase and at the pipe wall. These reactions may be physical, chemical, or microbiological in nature. ...
Maintenance Priority Setting for Private Residential Buildings in Hong Kong

Cardiac Assist With a Twist: Apical Torsion as a Means to Improve Failing Heart Function
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Changes in muscle fiber orientation across the wall of the left ventricle (LV) cause the apex of the heart to turn 10–15 deg in opposition to its base during systole and are believed to ...
Evolution of Interannual Warm and Cold Events in the Southeast Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Extreme warm episodes in the southeast Atlantic Ocean, known as Benguela Niños, have devastating environmental impacts and have been shown to be remotely forced. To place these extreme events into perspective, the investigation ...
Assessment of Discretization Uncertainty Estimators Based on Grid Refinement Studies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the assessment of the performance of nine discretization uncertainty estimates based on grid refinement studies including methods that use grid triplets and others that use a largest number of data ...
Climate Variability, Fish, and Fisheries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fish population variability and fisheries activities are closely linked to weather and climate dynamics. While weather at sea directly affects fishing, environmental variability determines the distribution, migration, and ...
