Abstract: AbstractData on weathercasters at local television stations in all 210 markets in the United States were gathered through individual weathercaster biography web pages provided on television news station websites. The ...

Abstract: The use of adaptronic components opens up interesting new possibilities for modern machine tools such as parallel kinematics. In this paper, two active vibration control concepts are designed ...

Abstract: wo large, independent sets of direct observations in the central Gulf of Mexico show a mean near-surface flow of ~10 cm s?1 to the west, concentrated in the northern and southern Gulf. Numerical models that the authors ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of geometric and operational features on freeway merge capacity by analyzing prebreakdown flow rates and using nonparametric and parametric (survival) analysis and semiparametric analysis ...

Abstract: Asphalt concrete has been used as an appropriate impervious barrier for water retention. The performance of asphalt concrete in dam cores, reservoir coatings, and canals is comparable with other existing alternatives. ...

Abstract: This paper reviews policy and research initiatives that have begun to address three major challenges to incorporate regional environmental impacts in the design and optimization of drinking water distribution systems. These ...

Abstract: Tool condition monitoring (TCM) has become a research area of interest due to its potential to significantly reduce manufacturing costs while increasing process visibility and efficiency. Machine learning (ML) is one ...

Abstract: In multibody dynamics, formulating the equations of motion in absolute Cartesian coordinates results in a set of index-3 differential algebraic equations (DAEs). In this work, we present an approach that bypasses the DAE ...
