Abstract: Humanity has periodically faced cataclysmic events such as wars, famines, and plagues. These catastrophes caused untold suffering and loss of life. Despite the widespread optimism of modern times that advances in various ...

Abstract: Finite element and finite difference solutions are obtained for transient temperature distribution in a partially cooled cylindrical rod that generates heat at a uniform rate. A portion of the ...

Abstract: Procedures have been developed from relationships between parameters of hailstone size distributions and storm thermodynamics to normalize the effects of storm thermodynamics of integral hail parameters observed at the ...

Abstract: Heavy snowstorms occur regularly along Colorado's Front Range and cause significant economic and human consequences for the urban corridor from Denver to Fort Collins. This paper examines one type of winter storm that ...

Abstract: Wind profilers are capable of obtaining horizontal wind data from approximately 1?17 km at hourly intervals. A network of four profilers is being tested in Colorado. This note discusses a case in which profiler winds, taken ...

Abstract: A time-height section of the guasi-biennial oscillation is presented from 1950 to 1978 and the presence of an unusually large westerly amplitude during the winter 1977?78 is noted.

Abstract: Fed up of the mail left in front of his house getting stolen every so often, a California-based engineer Mark Rober built a glitter bomb to trick parcel thieves. The glitter bomb certainly did that, surprising and shaming ...

Abstract: Universal Robots and Rethink Robotics burst onto the scene ten years ago with seemingly similar breakthrough products—collaborative robots, or cobots—that were safe enough to work next to people on the factory floor. Rethink ...
