Abstract: An attempt is made in this paper to formulate the transport of hydrogen in the earth's upper atmosphere as a Monte Carlo problem. The relevant details of the technique adopted are given. The capability of the technique to ...

Abstract: We consider the problems of kinematic and dynamic constraints, with actuator saturation and wheel slippage avoidance, for motion planning of a holonomic three-wheeled omni-directional robot. That ...

Abstract: Increasing competition and a global economy are forcing engineering professionals in small and medium businesses to market their skills further from home. However, the marketing dollars available to locate and attract new ...

Abstract: This report describes a theoretical technique which calculates the “optimal” direction and location of a fixed axis of rotation for the human knee joint. The optimization criterion is as follows; ...

Abstract: Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate interactions between small (400?900 ?m) precipitation-size drops at temperatures colder than 0°C. The investigation was accomplished by creating a light shower of ...

Abstract: A theoretical model has been formulated to study by numerical techniques the efficiency E with which columnar ice crystals grown at temperatures between ?3 and ?8°C are captured in a cloud by relatively large, supercooled ...

Abstract: A case of a waterspout that developed from a relatively small cumulus cloud is presented. This is believed to be the first time that detailed Doppler radar information on a parent cloud has ever been collected. Vertical ...

Abstract: The combustion characteristics of low-hydrogen-content distillate fuels produced from coal differ from those of conventional petroleum distillates. The differences include: increased flame emissivity ...

Abstract: Knee ligament forces were directly measured with buckle transducers. Given a collection of buckle transducers with adequate rigidity and a variety of sizes to accommodate different ligamentous ...
