RISSocioeconomic Reverberations of Earthquake Prediction: Snapshot in Time, Peru 1979–1981
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although the scientific capability to predict earthquakes has proven more elusive than was hoped for several decades ago, the concern over the social and economic response to prediction of an earthquake remains high. This ...
Discussion: “Hydrodynamic Entrance Lengths for Ducts of Arbitrary Cross Section” (McComas, S. T., 1967, ASME J. Basic Eng., 89, pp. 847–850)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Nozzle Discharge Coefficients—Compressible Flow
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using Walz’s approximation method for boundary layer calculation, along with a one-dimensional treatment of the compressible inviscid core flow, discharge coefficients for small nozzle to pipe ...
Discussion: “Experiments on Laminar Flow Development in Rectangular Ducts” (Sparrow, E. M., Hixon, C. W., and Shavit, G., 1967, ASME J. Basic Eng., 89, pp. 116–123)

An Explicit Expression for the Wavelength of a Gravity Wave
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The square of the wavelength ? of a surface gravity wave is expressed as an eighth-degree polynomial in u=4π2h/(gT2), where h is the depth and T the period. The relative error in ?/?0, where ?0 is the deep water wavelength, ...
Settlement of Embankments on Soft Clays (The Thirty-First Terzaghi Lecture)
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The topic of consolidation of clays was partially chosen because it was Terzaghi's first major contribution to what we now call geotechnical engineering, as well as due to the author's years of interest in the topic. This ...

The Physical Oceanography of Two Rings Observed by the Cyclonic Ring Experiment. Part II: Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the 1977 Cyclonic Ring Experiment is used to examine the, density, velocity, vorticity and energy distributions in a Gulf Stream cyclonic ring. A time series on ring BOB provides information on the temporal changes ...
