Abstract: The design and analysis of a fully actuated adaptive bistable structure is presented. This structure releases energy at a high frequency, which in consequence causes it to jump. Such structures ...

Abstract: Global vegetation and land-use data bases (1° latitude by 1° longitude resolution), designed for use in studies of climate and climate change, were compiled in digital form drawing upon approximately 100 published sources ...

Abstract: he suitability of a linear inverse model (LIM) as a benchmark for decadal surface temperature forecast skill is demonstrated. Constructed from the observed simultaneous and 1-yr lag covariability statistics of annually ...

Abstract: Lack of knowledge about the performance of emerging sewer rehabilitation technologies represents a critical shortcoming in the water infrastructure industry. This has led the leading aging water infrastructure research ...

Abstract: n algorithm is described for inverting individual particle properties from statistics of ensemble observations, thereby dispelling the notion that coincident particles create inherently erroneous data in particle probes. ...

Abstract: This paper describes El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) interannual variability simulated in the second Hadley Centre coupled model under ?control? and ?greenhouse warming? scenarios. The model produces a very reasonable ...

Abstract: It is essential to maintain global measurements of the earth radiation budget (ERB) from space, the scattered solar and emitted thermal radiative fluxes leaving the planet. These are required for the purpose of validating ...
