Abstract: Most composite‐slab designs in the United States are based on the results of extensive testing programs. These programs result in the development of load tables that structural engineers use for the design of composite ...

Abstract: Horizontal convective rolls (HCRs) with aspect ratios ≥ 5, called wide HCRs, are observed over land from WSR-88D radar reflectivity observations in clear air over central Oklahoma. Results indicate that wide HCRs are a ...

Abstract: Efficient modeling strategies are developed to study thermomechanical durability of high I/O Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages, in order to facilitate virtual qualification and accelerated testing ...

Abstract: This work describes a novel device for producing three-dimensional objects that has been developed using a liquid crystal display as a programmable, dynamic mask and visible light to initiate ...

Abstract: Tendon allografts are commonly used to replace damaged anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL). Some of the sterilization and preservation techniques used by tissue banks with tendon allografts are ...

Abstract: Several sites in the United States have groundwater contaminated with mixtures of high explosives and chlorinated solvents. This research examined the ability of two microbial cultures (anaerobic sludge and a facultative ...

Abstract: Through a series of global convection-permitting simulations and geostationary satellite observations, this study investigates the role of deep moist convection in atmospheric kinetic energy (KE) and brightness temperature ...

Abstract: Tall buildings are one of the few constructed facilities whose design relies solely upon analytical and scaled models, which, though based upon fundamental mechanics and years of research and experience, has yet to be ...
