RISRobust Energy Mix Options in Japan under Uncertainty
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: It is crucial for the Japanese government to establish a new energy mix plan since the previous plan was subject to review after the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011. The Japanese government proposed a new energy ...
Magnetic Cleaning Device for Lunar Dust Adhering to Spacesuits
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The removal of lunar dust adhering to spacesuits is essential for the long-term exploration of the Moon. Because lunar dust is magnetic, a convenient cleaning device that utilizes magnetic force has been developed. The ...
Time–Space Characteristics of Diurnal Rainfall over Borneo and Surrounding Oceans as Observed by TRMM-PR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Five years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data were used to investigate the time and space characteristics of the diurnal cycle of rainfall over and around Borneo, an island in the ...
What Determines the East Asian Winter Temperature during El Niño?—Role of the Early Onset El Niño and Tropical Indian Ocean Warming

Integrity Evaluation of Boundary Function of Main Components in Nuclear Plants During Severe Accidents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: After the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, very strict safety measures were implemented for nuclear power plants in Japan. It thus becomes a crucial issue if the safety of a plant is maintained or not ...

Baroclinic Instability in High Latitudes Induced by Polar Vortex: A Connection to the Arctic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, baroclinic instability of the northern winter atmosphere is investigated in the context of the dynamical interpretation of the Arctic oscillation. The unstable solutions, obtained by a method of 3D normal ...
Wave- and Anemometer-Based Sea Surface Wind (WASWind) for Climate Change Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ship-based measurements of sea surface wind speed display a spurious upward trend due to increases in anemometer height. To correct this bias, the authors constructed a new sea surface wind dataset from ship observations ...
Analysis of Oil-Film Pressure Distribution in Porous Journal Bearings Under Hydrodynamic Lubrication Conditions Using an Improved Boundary Condition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pressure distributions in the oil film of a porous journal bearing are investigated theoretically and experimentally under hydrodynamic lubrication conditions. The circumferential boundary condition ...
Gradient Deficient Curved Beam Element Using the Absolute Nodal Coordinate Formulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this investigation, a gradient deficient beam element of the absolute nodal coordinate formulation is generalized to a curved beam for the analysis of multibody systems, and the performance ...
