Abstract: Truck traffic is a crucial factor that results in pavement damage. The increasing demand of freight transport contributes to rising truck volumes. In some countries there is a trend toward using larger vehicles, and road ...

Abstract: The development of new coronary artery constitutive models is of critical importance in the design and analysis of coronary replacement grafts. In this study, a two-parameter logarithmic complementary ...

Abstract: A number of investigators have advanced the thesis that weather information has (or accrues) economic value because it makes possible ?better? management decisions in a weather-sensitive process. A simulation model approach ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from a detailed field experiment of water movement on a border-irrigated bay in northern Victoria, Australia, an area characterized by shallow ground-water tables and salinization problems. ...

Abstract: This paper presents results from an experiment to measure the salt transport processes within a border-irrigated bay in northern Victoria, Australia, an area with shallow saline ground water and cracking soils. The overland ...

Abstract: The GISS global climate model (Hansen et al.) has been extended to include the middle atmosphere up to an altitude of approximately 85 km. The model has the full array of processes used for climate research, i.e., numerical ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations are used to study transitions between boundary layer rolls and more cellular convective structures observed during a lake-effect snow event over Lake Michigan on 17 December 1983. Weak lake-effect ...

Abstract: Boundary layer rolls over Lake Michigan have been observed in wintertime conditions predicted by many past studies to favor nonroll convective structures (such as disorganized convection or cellular convection). This study ...
