Morphological Study of Gypsum Boards with PCM through Scanning Electron Microscopy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper studies a compound material using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique to enlighten its physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics at a macroscopic level. The material is made of a gypsum matrix ...
Numerical Analysis of a Journal Bearing With a Heterogeneous Slip/No-Slip Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The no-slip boundary condition is part of the foundation of the traditional lubrication theory. It states that fluid adjacent to a solid boundary has zero velocity relative to the solid surface. ...
Effect of Strain, Region, and Tissue Composition on Glucose Partitioning in Meniscus Fibrocartilage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A nearly avascular tissue, the knee meniscus relies on diffusive transport for nutritional supply to cells. Nutrient transport depends on solute partitioning in the tissue, which governs the amount of nutrients that can ...

Using Classification Trees for Predicting National Bridge Inventory Condition Ratings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In bridge management practice, bridge condition is the fundamental information needed to allow decision makers to make well-informed decisions regarding preservation, rehabilitation, or replacement of a bridge or network ...
Identifying Precrash Factors for Cars and Trucks on Interstate Highways: Mixed Logit Model Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research investigates the factors that lead to three manners of collision (namely, rear-end, angle, and sideswipe) that occurred in the same direction of multilane interstate highways. Mixed logit (MXL) models were ...
Removal of Cs+ and Co2+ from Domestic Wastewater by Adsorbent Addition
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The removal of radiological agents from a wastewater treatment plant that entered via the detonation of a radiological dispersive device (RDD) was investigated. Cobalt and cesium have been the focus of simulated RDD events ...
Tropical Pacific 1976–77 Climate Shift in a Linear, Wind-Driven Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of studies have attempted to explain the cause of decadal variability in the tropical Pacific and explore its possible link to decadal variability in the midlatitude Pacific. To investigate some of the current ...
Experimental Implementation of an Ensemble Adjustment Filter for an Intermediate ENSO Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The assimilation of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies into a coupled ocean?atmosphere model of the tropical Pacific is investigated using an ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF). The intermediate coupled model ...
