Abstract: Air pollution in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of south China, which is one of the four regions in China most heavily affected by haze, is found to correlate with that of Hong Kong, indicating the regional nature of ...

Abstract: During the last ten years, it was a great pleasure working with the many outstanding AEs who served the JEP, the ASME staff, and with Mr. Gary Miller. Thanks to all of us working as a team, we were able to get the JEP to ...

Abstract: he use of under-resolved models in ensemble data assimilation schemes leads to two kinds of model errors: truncation errors associated with discretization of the large-scale dynamics and errors associated with interactions ...

Abstract: ong-range lidar systems have been used operationally at the Hong Kong International Airport for wind shear alerting. They are used for monitoring the headwinds over the last 3 n mi of all of the runway corridors of the ...

Abstract: InterPACK is the premier international forum for the exchange of stateoftheart knowledge in research, development, manufacturing, and applications of electronic packaging, MEMS, and NEMS. It is the flagship conference of ...

Abstract: Maps of standard deviations and one-point correlation maps based on twice-daily data subjected to a variety of temporal filters are presented, in order to document the horizontal structure of 500 mb height fluctuations ...

Abstract: Sectional oblique fins are employed in contrast to continuous fins in order to modulate flow in microchannel heat sink. The breakage of continuous fin into oblique sections leads to the reinitialization of both hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Thin vapor chambers provide a novel solution to thermal management in mobile electronics. In the pursuit of vapor chamber optimization, characterization of the wicking structure can allow for a better understanding of the ...

Abstract: The time variation of Northern Hemisphere wintertime 500 mb height fluctuations with short, intermediate and long time scales is investigated, using lag-correlation patterns derived from time-filtered data. Fluctuations ...

Abstract: It is important to control the skin temperatures of smartphones, tablets, and wearable electronics. The comfort levels of the skin temperatures are determined by surveys with subjective evaluations on a limited number of ...
