RISIncorporating Domain Knowledge and Information Retrieval Techniques to Develop an Architectural/Engineering/Construction Online Product Search Engine
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper introduces a domain-specific search engine, which was developed to take advantage of the growing online product information for surveying the virtual product market. Knowledge about a product was uniquely ...
Knowledge-Assisted Retrieval of Online Product Information in Architectural/Engineering/Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With a better understanding about the product market, industry practitioners can make more informed decisions for product specification, selection, and procurement. However, current approaches that support Architectural/ ...
A Statistical Approach to the Prediction of Discharge Coefficients for Concentric Orifice Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: New equations are developed which predict the coefficients of discharge for concentric orifice plates as functions of line size, diameter ratio, and Reynolds number. These are developed using ...
A Single-Degree-of-Freedom Self-Regulated Gravity Balancer for Adjustable Payload1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a single-degree-of-freedom (single-DoF) gravity balancer that can deal with variable payload without requesting manual or other auxiliary adjustment. The proposed design is an integration of two mechanism ...
Loop Current Growth and Eddy Shedding Using Models and Observations: Numerical Process Experiments and Satellite Altimetry Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent studies on Loop Current?s variability in the Gulf of Mexico suggest that the system may behave with some regularity forced by the biannually varying trade winds. The process is analyzed here using a reduced-gravity ...
Effect of Mesoscale Eddies on the Taiwan Strait Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study shows that mesoscale eddies can alter the Taiwan Strait Current. The 20-yr data-assimilated Japan Coastal Ocean Predictability Experiment 2 (JCOPE2) reanalysis data are analyzed, and the results are confirmed ...
An Experimental Investigation of Structured Roughness Effect on Heat Transfer During Single-Phase Liquid Flow at Microscale
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of structured roughness on the heat transfer of water flowing through minichannels was experimentally investigated in this study. The test channels were formed by two 12.7 mm wide ...
Thermophysical Properties of Biporous Heat Pipe Evaporators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thirty biporous slugs with 3 different cluster diameters and 5 different particle diameters (15 combinations with 2 repetitions) and 12 monoporous slugs with 6 different particle diameters were ...
Torsional Design of Hybrid Concrete Box Girders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hybrid concrete box-girder bridges that include prestressed slabs and corrugated steel webs provide a major improvement over traditional prestressed concrete box-girder bridges. To reduce the self-weight, high strength ...
Carbon Tetrachloride Reduction by Fe2+, S2-, and FeS with vitamin B12 as Organic Amendment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The reductive dechlorination of carbon tetrachloride (CT) was examined in the presence of free iron ions
