Abstract: Cavitation inception and development caused by a backward facing step in a Venturi-type test section were studied experimentally for different step heights (0.8–4mm). High-speed cinematography and ...

Abstract: series of numerical experiments are conducted to examine the impact of surface observations on the prediction of landfalls of Hurricane Katrina (2005), one of the deadliest disasters in U.S. history. A specific initial ...

Abstract: The microkinematic response of axons to mechanical stretch was examined in the developing chick embryo spinal cord during a period of rapid growth and myelination. Spinal cords were isolated ...

Abstract: Dynamic and thermodynamic fields from ECMWF analyses have been presented for the tropical north African region for July 1989. Except for the region equatorward of 10°N, it has been shown that the pattern of mean low-level ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop new formulas for live load distribution in horizontally curved steel I-girder bridges. The formulas are developed by utilizing computer model results for a number of different ...

Abstract: he performance of an advanced research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) in predicting near-surface atmospheric temperature and wind conditions under various terrain and weather regimes is examined. ...

Abstract: Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) uses microbes and electricity to convert CO2 to high-grade chemicals alleviating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Little is known on the environmental loads associated with the scale-up of ...

Abstract: Data scarcity and missing values are a prime challenge in developing a corrosion prediction model. In this paper, eight imputation techniques are explored using the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) corrosion database. ...
