RISA Reexamination of Phonon Transport Through a Nanoscale Point Contact in Vacuum
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using a silicon nitride cantilever with an integral silicon tip and a microfabricated platinum–carbon resistance thermometer located close to the tip, a method is developed to concurrently measure both the heat transfer ...
Wind Pressure Mitigation on Gable Roofs for Low-Rise Buildings Using Spoilers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Previous wind disaster investigations have indicated that the roof systems of low-rise buildings often suffer severe damage under the negative wind pressure caused by the sharp corners between the walls and the roof. ...
Nonstationary Frequency Analysis of the Weihe River Annual Runoff Series Using De-Nonstationarity Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Climate change and human activity has increased the degree of nonstationarity in the annual runoff series of the Weihe River Basin, making it difficult to conduct a traditional hydrological frequency analysis in this study ...
Development of an Analytical Design Tool for Monolithic Emission Control Catalysts and Application to Nano Textured Substrate System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical transport/reaction model was developed to simulate the catalytic performance of ZnO nanowires as a catalyst support. ZnO nanowires were chosen because they have easily characterized, controllable features and ...
The Role of Stochastic Forcing in Ensemble Forecasts of the 1997/98 El Niño
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of stochastic intraseasonal variability on the onset of the 1997/98 El Niño was examined using a large ensemble of forecasts starting on 1 December 1996, produced using the Australian Bureau of Meteorology ...
Compaction of Subgrade by High-Energy Impact Rollers on an Airport Runway
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: High-energy impact rollers (IR) have been increasingly used for earthworks by compacting on-site soils. The IR applies high energy to the ground and densifies deeper soils than conventional rollers and plate-type compactors. ...
Scalable Fabrication of Low Elastic Modulus Polymeric Nanocarriers With Controlled Shapes for Diagnostics and Drug Delivery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new process, decoupled functional imprint lithography (DFIL), is presented for fabricating low elastic modulus polymeric nanocarriers possessing Young's modulus of bulk material as low as sub1 MPa. This method is ...
Size Dependent Nanoparticle Uptake by Endothelial Cells in a Capillary Flow System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An in vitro cell culture system is developed for studying the uptake characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) by endothelial cells under shear stress. Results show that the smaller polystyrene nanospheres are uptaken more ...
How Predictable is the Indian Ocean Dipole?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n light of the growing recognition of the role of surface temperature variations in the Indian Ocean for driving global climate variability, the predictive skill of the sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated ...
Four-Probe Measurement of Thermal Transport in Suspended Few-Layer Graphene With Polymer Residue
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The presence of unknown thermal contact thermal resistance has limited prior two-probe thermal transport measurements of suspended graphene samples. Here, we report four-probe thermal transport measurements of suspended ...
