RISEstablishing Cooperative Relationships and Joint Risk Management in Construction Projects: Agency Theory Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Through construction contracts, clients and contractors are involved in principal-agent relationships. These relationships are argued to be adversarial and characterised by two main features of contracting parties, as ...
Guaranteed Minimization of the Bit Error Ratio for MIMO Systems: A Mathematical Viewpoint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiplying the capacity of communication links by using the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mechanism has become an essential part of various wireless standards. In this paper, we focus on the bit error ratio (BER) ...
Aviation Turbulence Forecasting at DWD with ICON: Methodology, Case Studies, and Verification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Multiyear Subinertial and Seasonal Eulerian Current Observations near the Florida Big Bend Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ultiyear in situ Eulerian acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements were obtained at 5-, 10-, and 19-m depths off the Big Bend coast, and in 19 m off the Florida Peninsula to the south. Analysis on subinertial time ...
Interaction between a Vertical Turbulent Jet and a Thermocline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he behavior of an axisymmetric vertical turbulent jet in an unconfined stratified environment is studied by means of well-resolved, large-eddy simulations. The stratification is two uniform layers separated by a thermocline. ...
Dynamics of a Turbulent Buoyant Plume in a Stratified Fluid: An Idealized Model of Subglacial Discharge in Greenland Fjords
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study reports the results of large-eddy simulations of an axisymmetric turbulent buoyant plume in a stratified fluid. The configuration used is an idealized model of the plume generated by a subglacial discharge ...
A Family of Frontal Cyclones over the Western Atlantic Ocean. Part I: A 60-h Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite marked improvements in the predictability of rapidly deepening extratropical cyclones, many operational models still have great difficulties in predicting frontal cyclogenesis that often begins as a mesoscale vortex ...
Evaluation of UV LEDs Performance in Photochemical Oxidation of Phenol in the Presence of H2 O2
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A novel application of ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a light source for the degradation of organic contaminant has been investigated. Photocleaving of hydrogen peroxide
A Family of Frontal Cyclones over the Western Atlantic Ocean. Part II: Parameter Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a series of sensitivity experiments is performed to study the relative influence of latent heating, surface friction, and surface heat fluxes on the development of a family of frontal cyclones that occurred ...
Optimal Extraction of Water from Regional Aquiferunder Salinization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A model for the optimal management of a regional aquifer under salinization is developed. The objectives of management are to maximize the total amount of water pumped for use and to minimize the total amount of salt ...
