An Adaptive Neural Network Scheme for Radar Rainfall Estimation from WSR-88D Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent research has shown that neural network techniques can be used successfully for ground rainfall estimation from radar measurements. The neural network is a nonparametric method for representing the relationship between ...
Effect of the Swirl Intensity of Pilot Inner Swirler on the Combustion Stability of a Lean Staged Injector With a Prefilm Atomizer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Lean staged combustion can reduce the NOx emissions by prevaporizing and premixing fuel with air, which is considered the state-of-the-art solution strategy in achieving low emission in aeronautical combustors. However, ...
Experimental Investigation of Performance of an Air Blast Atomizer by Planar Laser Sheet Imaging Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is widely recognized that the fuelair mixing process is a critical factor in improving combustion efficiency and in minimizing pollutants such as NOx. Enhancement of fuelair mixing can lead to lower pollutant emissions ...
Bending of the Looping Heart: Differential Growth Revisited
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the early embryo, the primitive heart tube (HT) undergoes the morphogenetic process of clooping as it bends and twists into a cshaped tube. Despite intensive study for nearly a century, the physical forces that drive ...
Influence of Central Buckles on the Modal Characteristics of Long-Span Suspension Bridge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Experimental Investigation of Spray and Combustion Performances of a Fuel-Staged Low Emission Combustor: Effects of Main Swirl Angle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to reduce NOx emissions, modern gas turbines are often equipped with lean-burn combustion systems, where the high-velocity fuel-lean conditions that limit NOx formation in combustors also inhibit the ability of ...
Removal of Tetracycline Resistance and Bacteria Diversity Changes by Advanced Membrane Process
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rejection of tetracycline resistant bacteria (TRB) and tetracycline resistance genes (TRGs) in the secondary effluent of a lab-scale anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (lab-AAO) system and real-scale AAO by forward osmosis (FO) membranes ...
Effect of Heat Treatment on the Combustion Characteristics of a Lignite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, the ignition and combustion behavior of raw and heat-treated single particles of lignite were experimentally investigated, with a focus on the effect of heat treatment temperatures. The lignite particles ...

Abstract: In this study, the ignition and combustion behavior of raw and heat-treated single particles of lignite were experimentally investigated, with a focus on the effect of heat treatment temperatures. The lignite particles ...
Dynamic Characterization and Design of Scotch Yoke Inerter with Adjustable Inertance for Seismic Isolation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The scotch yoke inerter (SYI) is a new geometrically nonlinear vibration isolator with a smaller maximum transmissibility than linear inerter systems. The influence of internal friction and the damping effect on the response ...
