RISExtended Simulation of Tropical Cyclone Formation in the Western North Pacific Monsoon Trough
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious studies suggest that the low-frequency background makes an important contribution to the predictability of tropical cyclone (TC) activity on the intraseasonal time scale by providing large-scale conditions favorable ...
Investigation into Relationship between Intensive Land Use and Urban Heat Island Effect in Shijiazhuang City Based on the Tapio Decoupling Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, heat island intensity is evaluated based on an image processing algorithm, and the degree of intensive land use is determined with the entropy-weight TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to ...
Relieving Test Anxiety in College Students Through Different Psychological Intervention Programs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The alleviation of test anxiety is beneficial for improving students' academic performance. This article provides a brief introduction to test anxiety and corresponding psychological interventions, followed by a study on ...
Human-Related Uncertainty Analysis for Automation-Enabled Façade Visual Inspection: A Delphi Study
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Given that traditional façade visual inspection entails laborious, dangerous, and inefficient manual work, automation-enabled façade visual inspection has become a prevailing trend in both academia and industry. However, ...
Shrinkage Mitigation Mechanism of Calcined Clinoptilolite Zeolite in High-Strength Cement Mortar
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractShrinkage behavior is one of the vital properties of concrete that would possibly
induce cracking and structure failure, especially in high-strength cementitious composites.
Internal curing has been proven to be ...
Effect of Particle Grading on the Response of an Idealized Granular Assemblage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effects of particle-size distribution on a granular assemblage’s mechanical response were studied through a series of numerical triaxial tests using the three-dimensional (3D) discrete-element method. An assemblage was ...
Experimental Study on Relationships among Composition, Microscopic Void Features, and Performance of Porous Asphalt Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The performance of porous asphalt concrete (PAC) is dependent on its microscopic void features, which may refer to content and distribution of its constituents. In other words, PAC mixtures with identical air voids may ...
Solution to the Time-Cost-Quality Trade-off Problem in Construction Projects Based on Immune Genetic Particle Swarm Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The importance of time-cost-quality trade-off in construction projects has been widely recognized by the construction industry. In this paper, we develop an integrated optimization model on the basis of improved time-cost ...
Cantilever Snap-Fit Performance Analysis for Haptic Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper investigates the parametric effects, which include material properties, hook shape, and shear deformation, on the force/deflection relationship governing the assembly/disassembly processes ...
Recent Summer Rainfall Increase and Surface Cooling over Northern Australia since the Late 1970s: A Response to Warming in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ainfall over northern Australia (NA) in austral summer is the largest water source of Australia. Previous studies have suggested a strong zonal-dipole trend pattern in austral summer rainfall since 1950, with rainfall ...
