Abstract: In this paper, a new objective typhoon positioning algorithm was proposed. The algorithm uses L1 12-channel far-infrared data of the

Abstract: Urban storm water runoff can carry a wide range of contaminants, many of which exceed federal maximum contaminant levels, into surface water resources (e.g., rivers and lakes). The use of filtration systems has received ...

Abstract: Urban storm water runoff is contaminated as deleterious materials wash from roadways, parking lots, and open spaces, and the subsequent discharge into surface water sources, such as lakes, can pose adverse effects on public ...

Abstract: Urban storm water runoff consists of unacceptable levels of nutrients and heavy metals, and a mixed-media filter system is proposed to treat such storm water with multiple contaminants. In this study, a two-dimensional ...

Abstract: Sea surface temperature (SST) fronts are important for fisheries and marine ecology, as well as upper-ocean dynamics, weather forecasting, and climate monitoring. In this paper, we propose a new approach to detect SST fronts from

Abstract: With an increasing tendency of the flood disaster frequency and intensity in China, risk analysis of design flood volume for the Three Gorges Dam Project (TGP) should be of paramount importance for about one-half of the ...

Abstract: Freeze–thaw (FT) damage is one of the main factors affecting the durability of concrete structures. This paper focused on the effects of the coarse aggregate volume fraction (CAVF) on FT damage to concrete in different ...

Abstract: We have developed a fine-scale model of the sandstone core acid flooding process by solving acid and mineral balance equations for a fully three-dimensional flow field that changed as acidizing ...

Abstract: Biochar is one of a series of materials referred to as black carbon because it is produced by thermochemical transformation of the original biomass material under a variety of conditions. The objectives of this paper are ...
