Abstract: In this paper, we present a simplified model for pavement drainage system. The model accounts for the accumulation and flow of water through a drainable base and edge drain representing a porous medium. There is an inflow ...

Abstract: Spectral analysis of scattered island and coastal tide-gage records from the Pacific Ocean reveals the presence of a coherent sea level fluctuation at 4?6 days period. The oscillation is distinct from baroclinic, inertia-gravity ...

Abstract: The solar and longwave radiative effects of a stratospheric aerosol layer between 18 and 22 km are compared for a tropical atmosphere. The changes in the daily mean solar and longwave radiative fluxes above and below the ...

Abstract: An analytic expression for the specific heating rate due to solar absorption by nitrogen dioxide is derived by approximating the solar insolation and absorption cross section by simple functions of wavelength. The analytic ...

Abstract: New co-amplitude and cotidal charts of the central Pacific Ocean have been constructed for constituents M2, S2, N2, K1 and O1. The charts exhibit some significant differences from previous attempts. Admittance curves, ...

Abstract: The global spatial distribution of the turbulent diapycnal diffusivity in the abyssal ocean is reexamined in light of the growing body of microstructure data revealing bottom-intensified turbulent mixing in regions of rough ...

Abstract: In this study, a four-layer feed-forward neural network is constructed and applied to determine a mapping associating mix design and testing factors of asphalt concrete samples with their performance in conductance to flow ...

Abstract: Calculated perturbations to stratospheric ozone are generally thought to be reduced when temperature feedback is included in the model. We find that when self-consistent hydrostatic adjustment is included with temperature ...

Abstract: Statistical models have been developed to correlate resilient modulus with routine properties of subgrade soils and state of stress for pavement design application. An information theory approach is taken as a method in ...
