Abstract: Present-day OGCMs give low values of annual mean net heat flux (AMNHF) in the tropical Indian Ocean, compared to climatologies. AMNHF generation is examined in an open-boundary model of this region with realistic coastlines. ...

Abstract: Annual mean net heat fluxes from ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) are systematically too low in the tropical Indian Ocean, compared to observations. In the models, only some of the geostrophic inflow replacing ...

Abstract: There are dynamic, interactive, and long-term relationships among the highway pavement performance, operator’s toll income and maintenance costs, the users’ satisfaction or willingness to travel, the government’s satisfaction, ...

Abstract: Construction disruptions often cause schedule delays and budget overruns. Accurate disruption monitoring is crucial for the timely recovery of affected construction projects. This study proposes a computer vision-based ...

Abstract: Non-hard-hat use (NHU) is related to many construction accidents, so NHU inspection is crucial to safety management, in which automatic NHU monitoring plays an essential role. Existing computer vision–based NHU inspection ...

Abstract: H2O(g) adsorption-desorption of cementitious materials and their permeability is a vital indicator for their durability designs, which significantly affects the occurrences of corrosion, carbonization and freeze–thawing, ...
