Abstract: Engineers are generally considered to be “professional” employees and, therefore, exempt from the wage and hour standards of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA requires that such professional employees (1) perform ...

Abstract: Reactive transport models contain terms describing microbiological and hydrological processes that control fate and transport of contaminants in porous media. Most models assume that microbial reaction rate is independent ...

Abstract: The topic of this paper is the computational modeling of the gas injection process in a large-bore natural gas fueled engine. At high injection pressures, the overall gas injection and mixing ...

Abstract: AbstractThe dominant mode of seasonal variability in the global tropical upper-stratosphere and mesosphere zonal wind is the semiannual oscillation (SAO). However, it is notoriously difficult to measure winds at these ...

Abstract: A technique is demonstrated for characterizing water‐level fluctuations in irrigation canals using amplitude spectral estimates obtained with a fast Fourier transform. The technique, which is often used to analyze mechanical ...
