Abstract: AbstractPrevious research revealed that if individuals personally experience an unusual weather event as a result of global warming (vs no personal experience), they may hold higher belief certainty that global warming is ...

Abstract: Principle of transference is very important in the kinematic analysis of spatial mechanisms, which enables the extension of point transformations to line transformations inbuilt with the dual mapping. An ideal conceptualization ...

Abstract: AbstractCoastal-trapped waves (CTWs) along the southeast coast of Australia were investigated based on a frictional, wind-driven long-wave theory. It was found that low-frequency sea level anomalies (SLAs) were continuously ...

Abstract: The lubrication characteristics and fatigue life are numerically analyzed under full film and mixed lubrication regimes, in which the threedimensional sinusoidal surfaces with changeable wavelengths in x and y directions ...

Abstract: The numerical studies on the influences of surface parameters skewness and kurtosis on tribological characteristics under mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (mixed EHL) conditions are extended to fatigue life. NonGaussian ...

Abstract: The dynamic behaviors of a single elastohydrodynamic lubricated (EHL) contact between a rolling element and raceways under wider load and speed ranges are analyzed numerically based on the transient EHL model and the free ...

Abstract: Based a brief introduction to Granular Computing on overview, relative concepts, basic idea, and main technical points, as well as the analysis to the adaptability of Granular Computing towards transport data processing, ...

Abstract: During the operation period, soils surrounding a cross-river tunnel are under persistent disturbance owing to heat conduction, resulting in a change in the microstructure and engineering properties. Long term observations ...

Abstract: It is an observed characteristic of oceans that velocities and horizontal pressure gradients are larger new the ocean surface than they are in deeper water. This is conventionally labeled ?pressure compensation? whereby ...

Abstract: The wetting kinetics of a water nanodroplet undergoing evaporation on a heated gold substrate were examined using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Various substrate and initial droplet temperatures were used to obtain ...
