Abstract: The special issue consists of 13 significant articles. The first section contains two survey articles. In “â€کWhere Are We Now and Where Are We Going?’: The BioM Innovation Database,†Jacobs, Nichol, and Helms carefully ...
The Biology Phenomenon Categorizer: A Human Computation Framework in Support of Biologically Inspired Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Locating relevant biological analogies is a challenge that lies at the heart of practicing biologically inspired design. Current computerassisted biologically inspired design tools require humanintheloop synthesis of biology ...
Discovery of Mental Metadata Used for Analogy Formation in Function-Based Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Applying previous solutions to solve new problems is a core aspect of design, and designers routinely use informal analogies to solve a wide variety of design problems. However, when the goal is to consider a large quantity ...
The Remote Sensing of Thin Cirrus Cloud Using Satellites, Lidar and Radiative Transfer Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of retrieving cirrus cloud optical depth from radiance measurements made by instruments aboard operational meteorological satellites is addressed. A method is proposed that exploits the relationship between ...
Recent Interannual Variations in Solar Radiation, Cloudiness, and Surface Temperature at the South Pole
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Incoming global solar irradiance measured at the surface at the South Pole unexpectedly decreased steadily by 15% from 1976 through 1987 during the late austral summer season, whereas no trend is apparent for September ...
