Abstract: The two-dimensional continuous wavelet transform (2D CWT) has become an important tool to examine and diagnose nonstationary datasets on the plane. Compared with traditional spectral analysis methods, the 2D CWT provides ...

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies combined with digital image processing have been applied to the crack inspection of bridge structures to overcome the drawbacks of manual visual inspection. However, because of ...

Abstract: A previously proposed planar axisymmetric dynamic vibration absorber (DVA), with embedded acoustic black hole (ABH) features, has been shown to suffer from the very selective coupling with the host structure, thus compromising ...

Abstract: odern Earth modeling systems often use high-resolution unstructured grids to discretize their horizontal domains. One of the major challenges in working with these high-resolution models is to efficiently transmit and store ...

Abstract: Various stochastic validation metrics have been developed for validating models, among which area metric is frequently used in many practical problems. However, the existing area metric does not consider experimental ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper studies the atmospheric moisture residence times over China for the period 1980?2009 using the dynamic recycling model (DRM). We define both the residence times for atmospheric moisture of precipitation ...
