Abstract: Working and living in another country can be a very rewarding experience, personally, professionally, and financially. It can also be stressful and frustrating, depending upon a variety of factors, including working ...

Abstract: The use of geostationary satellite data for estimating precipitation in non-tropical areas was explored with data taken in Montreal, Canada. The previous studies using geostationary images for rain estimation have concentrated ...

Abstract: Rain estimates for the Great Plains States were made for a one-month period, August 1979, using different combinations of satellite and other data. The data tested were as follows: 1) two satellite images per day without ...

Abstract: The idea of direct optimization is briefly presented and an introduction given to the divider-optimizer. By investigation of the operating principles of the divider-optimizer, it is shown that ...

Abstract: Recent numerical simulations have indicated the potential of plasma-based active flow control for improving the efficiency of highly loaded low-pressure turbines. The configuration considered in ...

Abstract: The errors in ship wind reports of light winds tend to significantly bias their mean. This occurs because wind speed is a scalar quantity that is constrained to zero or positive values. Therefore, observations tend to ...

Abstract: Plasma-based flow control was explored as a means of enhancing the performance of a maneuvering flat-plate wing. For this purpose, a numerical investigation was conducted via large-eddy simulation ...

Abstract: Observations of zonally averaged temperature from the Nimbus 7 Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (SAMS) in 1979?82 demonstrate that a significant seasonal variation or asymmetry exists in the equatorial semiannual ...

Abstract: We developed an essentially two-dimensional planar benchtop model of an untethered collapsed airway to investigate the influence of fluid properties (viscosity, μ and surface tension, γ) and the ...

Abstract: Active control was simulated numerically for the subsonic flow through a highly loaded low-pressure turbine. The configuration approximated cascade experiments that were conducted to investigate a ...
