Abstract: Cold-formed steel (CFS) can be a competitive light-frame solution for low-rise buildings, particularly when noncombustible construction is required. In noncombustible semiballoon frame construction, installation of wall ...

Abstract: Syrinxes are fluid-filled cavities of the spinal cord that characterize syringomyelia, a disease involving neurological damage. Their formation and expansion is poorly understood, which has hindered ...

Abstract: Historical and economic influences on bridge design, including the effects of the Great Depression and World War II, are reviewed. The conditions under which a bridge is built and will serve are also examined in regard to ...

Abstract: Observations were made during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment in 1969 to evaluate the possibility of determining total precipitation from the change in salinity or temperature at the ocean surface. ...

Abstract: Implications of conventional activated sludge (CAS) process modification to a low sludge production (LSP) process have been studied for treating pulp and paper wastewaters. The activated sludge process is modified to a ...

Abstract: Industrial meteorologists started providing weather modification services in the late 1940s. The history of the problems and growth of these services from their experimental beginnings to their practical applications in ...

Abstract: An equation for the daytime lapse rate of temperature as a function of z/L is derived assuming the lapse rate varies as z?? in very light winds. This variation is presumed to result from the geometry of buoyant plumes. The ...

Abstract: Hole closing by diffusion of water vapor and droplets is treated as a problem in classical diffusion theory with constant mixing coefficients. The results, for reasonable estimates of the variables involved, lead to closure ...
