Abstract: The lateral earth pressure coefficient at rest, K0, is an important parameter in geotechnical engineering. There have been many studies for unfrozen soils; however, this is not the case for frozen soils, which impedes ...

Abstract: new visible (VIS; 0.55?0.9 ?m) albedo normalization method, that is, the quasi-Lambertian surface adjustment (QLSA), is developed herein by using the geostationary meteorological satellite data and radiative transfer model. ...

Abstract: In this study, freeze-thaw cycles were conducted on samples of a fine grained soil from the Qinghai–Tibetan plateau which had been prepared with different dry unit weights. During freeze-thaw cycles, electrical resistivity ...

Abstract: his study develops a method for both precipitation area and intensity retrievals based on multispectral geostationary satellite images. This method can be applied to continuous observation of large-scale precipitation so ...

Abstract: o implement continuous and reliable rainfall retrieval, based on the satellite retrieval algorithm of 10-min rain rate, this study proposes an immediate tracking and continuous accumulation technique (ITCAT) of half-hour ...

Abstract: Tropical precipitation change under global warming varies with season. The present study investigates the characteristics and cause of the seasonality in rainfall change. Diagnostically, tropical precipitation change is ...

Abstract: The demand for detecting minute mass in biology and chemistry promotes the research of high sensitivity and strong robustness mass sensor based on MEMS resonators in the past few decades. The nonlinear behaviors are ...

Abstract: An open-channel water distribution system is often the main infrastructure for agricultural irrigation, and a reasonable water distribution scheme can improve the efficiency of agricultural water use. This paper discusses ...
