Abstract: An infinite thin plate with an elliptical hole reinforced by a confocal elliptical ring is subjected to loads in the plane. A solution to the generalized plane-stress problem is obtained using ...

Abstract: The bubble concept is here put on a more quantitative basis by approximating the buoyant bubble in a cloud by a spherical vortex. The approximate solution of the equations of motion is made with the aid of ?Hill's Spherical ...

Abstract: The stochastic electrical numerical model of cloud growth and precipitation development of Scott and Levin (1975) has been refined to include a distribution of charge within each size class. Each size class is separated into three subclasses...

Abstract: The charges carried on failing raindrops were measured simultaneously with the charges separated by splashing on solid metal surfaces. It was found that the ejected fragments carry predominantly negative charges leaving ...

Abstract: The successful freeze preservation of mammalian cells and tissues usually requires the presence of high concentrations of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, or ...

Abstract: Use of the lognormal form of raindrop size distributions in simulations of differential reflectivity (ZDR) measurements is investigated. Using two remotely measured variables and an empirical relation, the three parameters ...

Abstract: One-dimensional time-dependent models of warm and cold clouds were constructed to test the electrical and precipitation development in the presence of a variety of charge separation mechanisms. The, models simulate charging ...

Abstract: Measurements of rain drop size spectra in Israel were carried out over a period of two years. It is shown that the size distribution can be best described by a lognormal distribution. With its parameters weighted by a ...
