Abstract: In preparation for studying the effects of increased CO2 on the hydrologic cycle in the western United States, an 8-yr hindcast was performed using a regional climate model (RCM) driven by the large-scale forcing from the ...

Abstract: Abstract. Turbocompressors are important equipment in oil and gas industry. Despite advantages in size and efficiency, turbocompressors could not be widely applied for small capacity compressions due to high equipment cost ...

Abstract: There has been an evident increase in the demand for accurate and complex patterns for particles used in microsized electronic devices. Direct printing technology has been promoted as a solution for these needs, as the ...

Abstract: For a long time, well pattern optimization mainly relies on human experience, numerical simulations are used to test different development plans and then a preferred program is chosen for field implementation. However, ...

Abstract: AbstractIn design–build (DB) projects, the design–builder is engaged before the design is fully completed, embedding unknown factors, such as subsurface conditions and design commitments, into the project. Given the limited ...

Abstract: AbstractA series of experimental and probabilistic investigations were conducted to determine characteristic values of durability properties, including carbonation rate and chloride migration coefficient, for actual ...
