A Short Method to Compute Nusselt Numbers in Rectangular and Annular Channels With Any Ratio of Constant Heat Rate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytic investigation of the thermal exchanges in channels is conducted with the prospect of building a simple method to determine the Nusselt number in steady, laminar or turbulent and ...
Climate Change and National Security
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate change is increasingly recognized as having national security implications, which has prompted dialogue between the climate change and national security communities?with resultant advantages and differences. Climate ...
Reconciliation of Owner and Contractor Views in Heavy Construction Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Delay and loss of productivity are the two main types of damage experienced by the contractor when the owner issues a change order. Courts have recognized critical path method schedule analysis as the preferred method of ...
Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment of Women in the U.S. Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research focuses on job satisfaction, work-life balance, and organizational commitment among women employed in the U.S. construction industry. Its aim is to identify the variables that affect women’s satisfaction with ...
Spectra of Deep Vertical Temperature Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeated temperature profiles were obtained at a slowly sinking and rising free float in a depth range of 1300 to 3600 m at 10°24?N, 50°22?W during the period 15?17 October 1967. Temperature deviations from a linear gradient ...
Stochastic Representation of a Hypereutrophic Lake
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Variability in total phosphorus concentrations in a small hypereutrophic lake are represented by a stochastic modification to the basic Vollenweider model. Uncertainties arising from the definition of initial conditions ...
Predictive Models for Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment of Women in the U.S. Construction Industry
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The ability to predict and develop policies, programs, and environments that enhance work-life balance (WLB) and promote organizational commitment is important for employers concerned with minimizing employee turnover. The ...
Eigenvalue and Eigenvector Determination for Damped Gyroscopic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Reformulation and Implementation of the Bryan-Cox-Semtner Ocean Model on the Connection Machine
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Certain aspects of the Semtner-Chervin version of the Bryan-Cox-Semtner global ocean model are reformulated for improved efficiency on parallel computer architectures and on the Connection Machine CM-2 in particular. These ...
