Abstract: AbstractThe dominant structural variability of African easterly waves (AEWs) is explored using an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) approach. The structure of AEWs is obtained by projecting the wind fields from reanalysis ...

Abstract: Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the effect of surface energy on equilibrium configurations and selfcollapse of carbon nanotube bundles. It is shown that large and reversible volumetric deformation ...
