Review of <i>Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America</i> by John M. Barry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Through the Lenses of Strategy Execution: Obstacles in Engineering Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The aim of the research described in this paper was to ascertain the obstacles engineering managers face in executing organizational objectives, to identify differences between engineering managers and managers in general ...
Discussion: Nitrate Removal from Drinking Water—Review
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Finescale Structure and Dynamics of an Atmospheric Temperature Interface
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-ground observations of an atmospheric temperature interface in the stable nocturnal boundary layer are reported. The thermal effect of the interface passage was a 5-K decrease in temperature during a 5-min period in ...
Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems, 2nd Ed.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Engineering Solutions to the Greenhouse Gases Generated by Hydroelectric Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There is a controversy brewing for about 10 years that hydroelectric power plants are not a clean, renewable source of electricity. The current review indicates that the source of methane is not in the mechanics or mechanical ...
Need for Engineering Solutions to Problems Associated With Offshore Oil and Gas Production
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There has been an increase in oil spill research and development, especially after the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico. However, the public resources seem to be concentrated in the life sciences, rather ...
Recommendations for Energy Water Nexus Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The chronic water problems in parts of India are probably due mainly to mismanagement. The rolling blackout and brownout problems in the larger Indian cities are due to lack of generation capacity. Since about ninety percent ...
Predicting Random High-Cycle Fatigue Life With Finite Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper extends the classical theory of random fatigue to multiaxial stress fields, using a quadratic criterion. An equivalent uniaxial random process is constructed by combining the power ...
