Abstract: A Web-based geographic information system (GIS) that can delineate watersheds in real time was developed for use in hydrologic analysis and to support hydrologic model operation on the Internet. The system integrates a ...

Abstract: Abstract. Energy losses occurring during power transmission in marine propulsion shafting constitute a critical factor that constrains the overall transmission efficiency, with their underlying loss mechanisms involving ...

Abstract: Based on water chemistry data, a rockfill dam in South Korea was investigated to identify major parts of substantial dam water leakage. Sinkholes in the dam crest and abnormal water leakage through the dam were observed ...

Abstract: There is little information on bone morphology as it relates to shoulder activities. This study investigated how loads corresponding to functional shoulder activities affect the trabecular ...

Abstract: Soil and ground water in a shallow aquifer were contaminated by petroleum hydrocarbons, mostly comprised of toluene. The degrees of soil and ground-water contamination were closely correlated. The vertical profile of soil ...

Abstract: n operational search and rescue (SAR) modeling system was developed to forecast the tracks of victims or debris from marine accidents in the marginal seas of the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The system is directly linked ...

Abstract: Tropical cyclones operate as heat engines, deriving energy from the thermodynamic disequilibrium between ocean surfaces and atmosphere. Available energy for the cyclones comes primarily from upper-ocean heat content. Here, ...
