Abstract: A technique for obtaining downscaled rainfall projections from climate model simulations is described. This technique makes use of the close association between mean sea level pressure (MSLP) patterns and rainfall over ...

Abstract: Over the past decade, there has been a significant acceleration in the adoption of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for various applications, ranging from portable electronics to automotive, defense, and aerospace applications. ...

Abstract: The association between Southern Hemisphere cyclones and anticyclones and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), southern annular mode (SAM), Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE), and rainfall in Perth and Melbourne is explored. ...

Abstract: The aim of model-based structural identification is to identify suitable models and values for model parameters that determine structure behavior through comparing measurements with predictions. Well-known methodologies, ...

Abstract: In responsive cities, user feedback and information provided by sensors are combined to improve urban design and to support asset managers in performing decision making. Optimal management of infrastructure networks requires ...

Abstract: The configuration of a twin-screw positive displacement machine is proposed, consisting of an internally geared outer rotor meshing with an externally geared inner rotor. Helical rotors with constant profile and pitch are ...

Abstract: Overlying the challenge of managing within natural hydroclimatic variability is the likely modification of runoff variability along with average runoff due to anthropogenic enhancement of greenhouse gas concentrations. In ...

Abstract: Overheating of Li-ion cells and battery packs is an ongoing technological challenge for electrochemical energy conversion and storage, including in electric vehicles. Immersion cooling is a promising thermal management ...
