Abstract: This paper offers some comments on the article by Zhu and Cai (2012, “A Simple Switching Control for Linear Systems to Assure Nonovershooting Step Responses,â€‌ ASME J. Dyn. Syst. Meas., Control, 134, p. 034503). The ...

Abstract: For a joint analysis of temperature profiles from floats, expendable bathythermographs (XBTs), and other instruments (e.g., thermistor chains) the consistency of the profiles from the different sources needs to be ensured ...

Abstract: he daytime heat transfer mechanisms over mountainous terrain are investigated by means of large-eddy simulations over idealized valleys. Two- and three-dimensional topographies, corresponding to infinite and finite valleys, ...

Abstract: he purpose of this article is to introduce a new diagnostic measure of the time-integrated diabatic (thermal) forcing of a valley?plain system. This measure can be used to synchronize the evolution of thermally induced ...

Abstract: Emulsions are widely used as metal rolling and ironing lubricants, but their application is still an art in that no widely accepted and robust models of emulsion lubrication exist. Of particular ...

Abstract: The representativeness of hailfall kinetic energies derived from point measurements of networks is studied by means of radar data of hail cells. The 202 cells were observed within a radius of 60 km from the 10 cm radar. ...

Abstract: muscle (Skalak and Schmid-Schönbein, 1986b). Closed form solutions are derived for several physiologically important cases, such as perfusion at steady state, transient and oscillatory flows. The results show that resting...
