Water Vapor, Surface Temperature, and the Greenhouse Effect—A Statistical Analysis of Tropical-Mean Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water vapor feedback is one of the important factors that determine the response of the atmosphere to surface warming. To take into account the compensating drying effects in downdraft regions, averaging over the whole ...
Shear-Thickening Behavior of Cement Pastes under Combined Effects of Mineral Admixture and Time
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The fresh-state behavior of plain and silica fume (SF)-modified cement pastes was measured using a wide-gap viscometer. The Herschel–Bulkley (H–B) model was used to describe the rheology of fresh cement pastes. The H–B ...
A Reexamination of the Radiative Balance of the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous diagnostic calculations of the stratospheric radiation budget using observed temperature and absorber distributions produce net heating rates that, although qualitatively similar in their overall patterns, differ ...
Fracture Mode Transition for Explosively Loaded GB/JB 20 Steel Containment Vessels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A rupture experiment was conducted on cylindrical explosion containment vessels (ECVs), where the fracture mode transition was observed. Microstructure examinations indicate the material GB/JB20 (AISI 1020) experienced a ...
Pedestrian Cognition of Street Structure and Route Choices When Strolling: Comparative Study Based on Two Experimental Methods
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study aimed to consider the street structure and the relationship between such structure and people’s route choices as well as people’s street structure concerns or preferences based on a common mapping tool. We used ...
