Simulation of Impact of Water-Film Spray on Visibility
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On rainy days, large rain particles in the air block and scatter the light so that visibility on roads decreases. However, it is conventionally ignored that the spray caused by high-speed vehicles with the existence of ...
Tropical Atmospheric Forcing of the Wintertime North Atlantic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relationship between the interannual wintertime variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and tropical heating anomalies is examined using the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis and observation-based sea surface temperature ...
The Principal Mode of Interannual Variability of the North American Monsoon System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nonseasonal behavior of the North American Monsoon System (NAMS) during the summer months (June?September) is investigated, based on monthly mean satellite data and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National ...
Nanorods of Bi–Co–S for Electrocatalysis of Glucose Oxidation and Hydrogen Evolution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to develop a non-precious metal-based catalyst, Bi–Co–S nanorods were prepared by a simple solvothermal method. The morphology and composition were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission ...
Composite Nanofiber Membrane for Lithium Ion Batteries Prepared by Electrostatic Spun/Spray Deposition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new kind of sandwiched composite membrane (SCM) for lithiumion batteries is prepared by depositing zirconia microparticle between two layers of electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoridecohexafluoropropylene) (PVdFHFP) nanofibers ...
The Role of the Aleutian Low in the Relationship between Spring Pacific Meridional Mode and Following ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Locational Characteristics of Firms in the Business Service Industry in Airport Economic Zones: Case of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Airports are important components in urban economies. With the rapid growth in civil aviation, airport economic zones (AEZs) have been established in China since the 199s, attracting airport-related firms. However, hitherto, ...
Direct Determination of Rheological Characteristics of Debris Flow
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Retrieval of Uniaxial Permittivity and Permeability for the Study of Near-Field Radiative Transport Between Metallic Nanowire Arrays
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recently metamaterials made of periodic nanowire arrays, multilayers, and grating structures have been studied for near-field thermal radiation with enhanced coupling of evanescent waves due to surface plasmon/phonon ...
