Abstract: Based on available data, a 100-year series of annual sea surface temperature (SST) is established for a given area in the North Atlantic. The oscillations of the annual SST anomalies are characterized as small oscillations ...

Abstract: The migration to modern information systems and advancement in noninvasive health monitoring devices enable highly mobile users to support increased efficiencies and improvements in delivery of ...

Abstract: Inverse uncertainty quantification commonly uses the well established Bayesian framework. Recently, alternative interval methodologies have been introduced. However, in their current state of the art implementation, both ...

Abstract: Solar parabolic trough systems for electricity production are receiving renewed attention, and new solar plants are under construction to help meet the growing demands of the power market in ...

Abstract: A direct-strength method (DSM) prediction approach is introduced and validated for metal building wall and roof systems that are constructed with steel panels through-fastened with screws to girts or purlins. The focus is ...

Abstract: patial estimates of actual evapotranspiration are useful for calculating the water balance of river basins, quantifying hydrological services provided by ecosystems, and assessing the hydrological impacts of land-use ...

Abstract: A parametric study was performed to determine the effect of sensor size on the performance of flush-mounted hot-film sensors, operated using constant-temperature anemometry. Three nickel sensors ...

Abstract: Cold working of metals affects the mechanical properties of those metals. These effects are particularly important in the design, analysis and subsequent performance of materials used in elevated ...
