RISNurturing Data-Savvy Talent in Digital Transformation of Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractDigital transformation in projects disrupts how project-oriented organizations recognize
and value skills and expertise of new data-savvy talents. Existing research on digitalization
in projects has focused mainly ...
Intraseasonal and Interannual Variations of Tropical Convection: A Possible Link between the 40–50 Day Oscillation and ENSO?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intraseasonal and interannual variations of tropical convection are studied using 12 years of NOAA outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data. The spatial patterns of OLR variance in the 1?5 day, 20?70 day and longer-than-180 ...
Energetics Characteristics of the Asian Winter Monsoon in the Source Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Energetics characteristics of the Asian winter monsoon are studied with twice-daily upper air data during a 20-year period over its source region. It is found that the energetics features over Siberia, North-eastern Asia, ...
Short-Term Climate Variability and Atmospheric Teleconnections from Satellite-Observed Outgoing Longwave Radiation. Part II: Lagged Correlations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a sequel to Part I of this study, lagged relationships in atmospheric teleconnections associated with outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) are investigated using Lagged Cross Correlations (LCC). The feasibility of extratropical ...
Short-Term Climate Variability and Atmospheric Teleconnections from Satellite-Observed Outgoing Longwave Radiation. Part I: Simultaneous Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-inferred short-term climate variability and atmospheric teleconnections are studied using seven years (1974?81) of Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) data from NOAA polar orbiters. This study utilizes composite, ...
Aspects of the 40–50 Day Oscillation during the Northern Winter as Inferred from Outgoing Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Various aspects of the intraseasonal variability (ISV) of tropical convection are studied using outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data. From empirical orthogonal function analysis, it was found that the most dominant mode ...
Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty Analysis of CANDU Fuel Reliability Using Manufacturing and Simulated Core Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel method of assessing the reliability of 37-element Canada deuterium uranium (reactor) (CANDU) fuel bundle was explored. The method implements a “best-estimate plus uncertainty” (BEPU) approach where a probabilistic ...
Mitigation of End-Flux-Peaking in Fresh CANDU Fuel Bundles Using Neutron Absorbers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: End-flux-peaking (EFP) is a phenomenon where a region of elevated neutron flux occurs between two adjoining fuel bundles, leading to an increase in fission rate and therefore greater heat generation. It is known that the ...
Toward a Mechanistic Model of Stress Corrosion Cracking in PHWR Fuel Sheaths
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work builds on the iodine-induced stress corrosion cracking (ISCC) model of Lewis and Kleczek by integrating the fuel performance model fuel and sheath modeling tool (FAST) to provide thermal and mechanical analysis ...
Mitigating the Stress Corrosion Cracking of Zircaloy 4 Fuel Sheathing: Siloxane Coatings Revisited
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For more than 50آ years, a thin (3–20آ خ¼m) graphite coating has played an important role in limiting the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Zircaloy4 fuel sheathing in CANDUآ® nuclear reactors. Siloxane coatings, which ...
