RISFlash Drought Intensification due to Enhanced Land–Atmospheric Coupling in India
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Performance Evaluation of Lab-Simulated Bioreactor Landfills under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions Using Wastewater and Sludge as Moisture Sources
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examined the effects of introducing wastewater and sludge, together with leachate recirculation, on the decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW) in bioreactor landfills under controlled moisture conditions. ...
A Hybrid Two-Stage Model for Municipal Solid Waste Biodegradation: Framework Development and Validation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract This study presents a hybrid two-stage model for municipal solid waste biodegradation
that integrates key features of both two-stage and multistage models. The proposed
model incorporates a separate pH submodule ...
Exploring Transient Behavior at Startup of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A two phase nonisothermal 3D unsteady model is used to study the transients at start-up of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. The model is used to simulate start-up under different ...
Aggregate Physical Properties Affecting Modulus and Deformation Characteristics of Unsurfaced Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents findings from a recently completed research study at the University of Illinois aimed at investigating the effects of aggregate type and quality on mechanistic pavement response and rutting performance ...
Linear Barotropic Instability of the Tropical Easterly Jet on a Sphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A barotropic global spectral model is used to determine the linear divergent barotropic instability characteristics of the tropical easterly jet by applying an initial value technique. These characteristics are compared ...
Nonlinear Barotropic Instability of Upper-Tropospheric Tropical Easterly Jet on the Sphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The nonlinear evolution of perturbation superimposed on the barotropic, unstable observed mean easterly jet at 100 hPa is studied over the sphere. The nondivergent barotropic nonlinear global spectral model with rhomboidal ...
Dual Representation Methods for Efficient and Automatable Analysis of 3D Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is well recognized that 3D finite element analysis is inappropriate for analyzing thin structures such as plates and shells. Instead, a variety of highly efficient and specialized 2D methods ...
Optimization Model for Allocating Resources for Highway Safety Improvement at Urban Intersections
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The authors present a procedure for allocating resources for implementing safety improvement alternatives at urban intersections over a multiyear planning horizon. The procedure, on the basis of optimization techniques, ...
Modeling Hydrologic Processes and NPS Pollution in a Small Watershed in Subhumid Subtropics Using SWAT
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) has been calibrated and validated to predict stream flow, and to transport sediment and non-point source (NPS) pollutants to the downstream water resources from a small (1,695 ha) ...
