Abstract: A controversy exists among literature reports of constraints on elastic constants. In particular, it has been reported that embedded atom method (EAM) potentials generally impose three constraints on elastic constants of ...

Abstract: Openings in enclosures or walls are frequently the dominant path for sound propagation. In the current work, a transfer matrix method is used to predict the transmission loss of apertures assuming that the crosssectional ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper evaluates nine satellite rainfall products and the Global Precipitation Centre Climatology (GPCC) gauge dataset over the Congo basin. For the evaluation the reference dataset is a newly created, gridded ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes three new rainfall datasets that have been developed for equatorial Africa. The development relies on acquisition of recent gauge data from the relevant countries and statistical methods to ...

Abstract: Optimization based on reconstruction of the velocity, temperature, and radiation fields in a porous absorber with continuous linear porosity or pore diameter distribution is carried out in this work. This study analyzes ...

Abstract: Animal models offer a flexible experimental environment for studying atherosclerosis. The mouse is the most commonly used animal, however, the underlying hemodynamics in larger animals such as the rabbit are far closer to ...
