Abstract: The latitude dependence of water albedo is usually taken from one of a number of tables available in the literature, but these tables all derive from a single series of calculations, made in 1952, for clear series at noon ...

Abstract: This study investigates the aqueous degradation of four iodinated x-ray contrast media (ICM) compounds (diatrizoate, iomeprol, iopromide, and iopamidol) by ozone and combined ozone and hydrogen peroxide. In laboratory scale ...

Abstract: Tests have been performed on triaxial samples of natural and remolded plastic clay from Winnipeg, Canada, to examine the way natural samples conform with modern conceptual models of soil behavior based largely on remolded ...

Abstract: In most weather station networks there are proportionately too few stations at high elevation, and areal estimates of climatological quantities that vary with elevation are biased. Two-dimensional interpolation between ...

Abstract: Ten years of hourly data on radiation, cloud and temperature collected at Resolute, Canada (75°N) show that with respect to clear skies: (i) clouds of all types, heights and extents heat the surface when it is snow-covered; ...

Abstract: It is well known that the waves generated by marine vessels, often referred to as wave wake or wash, can cause many issues when operating in sheltered waterways, including, but not limited to, erosion of shorelines and ...

Abstract: The design of repository seals for deeply buried high-level radioactive wastes incorporates densely compacted clayey barriers around metallic waste canisters. In this paper, a mathematical model that is based on conservation ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is developed to simulate coupled heat, moisture, and air transfer in deformable unsaturated porous media. A constitutive model that includes thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling effects for a non-isothermal ...
