RISGlobal Distribution of Hot Towers in Tropical Cyclones Based on 11-Yr TRMM Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lobal distribution of hot towers in tropical cyclones (TCs) is statistically quantified using an 11-yr Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Tropical Cyclone Precipitation Feature (TCPF) database. From 6003 individual ...
Contribution of Tropical Cyclones to Global Very Deep Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ased on the 12-yr (1998?2009) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation feature (PF) database, both radar and infrared (IR) observations from TRMM are used to quantify the contribution of tropical cyclones ...
Modeling Tower Crane Operator Visibility to Minimize the Risk of Limited Situational Awareness
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Many construction fatalities involving cranes and ground workers are caused by contact with objects and equipment, in particular being struck by crane loads and parts. One of the main risks in operating a tower crane is ...
Distributions of Shallow to Very Deep Precipitation–Convection in Rapidly Intensifying Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hear-relative distributions of four types of precipitation/convection in tropical cyclones (TCs) are statistically analyzed using 14 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data. The ...
Mechanical Properties of Stapedial Tendon in Human Middle Ear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measurement on mechanical properties of the stapedial tendon in human middle ear has not been reported in the literature. In this paper, we used the material testing system to conduct uniaxial ...
The Relative Importance of Stratiform and Convective Rainfall in Rapidly Intensifying Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing 16-yr Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) observations, rainfall properties in the inner-core region of tropical cyclones (TCs) and the relative importance of stratiform and convective ...
Laser Scanning for Safe Equipment Design That Increases Operator Visibility by Measuring Blind Spots
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One-fourth of construction industry fatalities are caused by worker collisions with construction equipment. Nonvisible areas (blind spots) for equipment operators are contributing factors to many of these fatalities because ...
Estimation of Tropical Cyclone Intensity in the North Atlantic and Northeastern Pacific Basins Using TRMM Satellite Passive Microwave Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical passive microwave intensity estimation (PMW-IE) algorithm for estimating the intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the North Atlantic and northeastern and central Pacific basins is developed and tested. The ...
Hazardous Proximity Zone Design for Heavy Construction Excavation Equipment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The construction industry continues to be among the leading industries for workplace fatalities in the United States. After experiencing 824 fatal injuries in 2013, the construction industry ranks as one of the most dangerous ...
Automated Trajectory and Path Planning Analysis Based on Ultra Wideband Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This work studies the utility of ultra wideband (UWB) sensor technology for optimizing construction site operations. In particular, recorded trajectory signals provide important behavioral information regarding site usage ...
