Abstract: An adequate estimation of the aerosol extinction-to-backscatter ratio S is important for solving the underdetermined single scattering lidar equation and for investigating the climate impact of aerosols. In this study, the ...

Abstract: An algorithm is presented that computes a measure of horizontal wind dispersion. The algorithm features a compact, machine economic structure that removes wind direction scale discontinuities. By requiring only one pass ...

Abstract: Transverse surface waves were produced in a rectangular open channel in the region where the otherwise steady, uniform, flow passed through a cluster of vertical circular cylinders. The cylinders could represent either ...

Abstract: A hightemperature pressurizedair solar receiver, designed for driving a Brayton cycle, consists of a cylindrical SiC cavity and a concentric annular reticulated porous ceramic (RPC) foam enclosed by a steel pressure vessel. ...

Abstract: This paper is one of a series of four being presented simultaneously on the subject of self-excited machine-tool chatter. It deals primarily with the applications of the closed-loop chatter ...

Abstract: An analytical method of examining the stress field near the edge of a simply supported, laminated beam was developed in Part I of this paper. The result was a system of second-order, ordinary, ...

Abstract: The derivation of an analytical method to examine the stress field near the end of a simply supported, laminated beam is presented. Specific effort has been directed to accurately calculate ...
