Characteristics of Aerosols and Clouds and Their Role in Earth’s Energy Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Failure Analysis of a Waste Heat Boiler of a Sulfur-Burning Sulfuric Acid Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The waste heat boiler in a sulfur-burning sulfuric acid plant experienced failures, specifically furnace tube bursting and tube sheet leakage. Samples were extracted from the front tube sheet and the tubes that had failed, ...
Tropical Cold Point Tropopause Characteristics Derived from ECMWF Reanalyses and Soundings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cold point tropopause (CPT) characteristics have been calculated using ECMWF reanalyses and high resolution radiosonde soundings obtained in TOGA COARE as well as operational sounding data. It is found that ECMWF ...
Optimization and Performance Analysis of Oleo-Honeycomb Damper Used in Vertical Landing Reusable Launch Vehicle
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A dynamic model is proposed and validated to analyze the landing performance of a vertical landing reusable launch vehicle (RLV) with a novel oleo-honeycomb two-stage damper. Based on this model and design requirements, ...
Empirical Analysis of Carbon Trading Policy Applicability in Transportation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Carbon trading policy, as an important approach to energy conservation and emission reduction, is being applied by an increasing number of cities at home and abroad with a certain effect. Meanwhile, traffic is a major ...
A Novel Wire-Driven Variable-Stiffness Joint Based on a Permanent Magnetic Mechanism
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The variable-stiffness joint (VSJ) plays an important role in creating compliant and powerful motions. This paper presents a novel wire-driven VSJ based on a permanent magnetic mechanism (PMM). The proposed joint regulates ...
AMOC and Climate Responses to Dust Reduction and Greening of the Sahara during the Mid-Holocene
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Effect of an Exponentially Decaying Upper-Ocean Vertical Mixing on the Pacific Tropical Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
First Effort at Constructing a High-Density Photosynthetically Active Radiation Dataset during 1961–2014 in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPhotosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is a key factor for vegetation growth and climate change. Different types of PAR models, including four physically based models and eight artificial intelligence (AI) models, ...
Biomechanical Evaluation of Rigid Interspinous Process Fixation Combined With Lumbar Interbody Fusion Using Hybrid Testing Protocol
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid interspinous process fixation (RIPF) has been recently discussed as an alternative to pedicle screw fixation (PSF) for reducing trauma in lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) surgery. This study aimed to investigate ...
