RISThe Distribution of Deep Convection over Ocean and Land during the Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tle highly reflective cloud (HRC) dataset is a daily index of organized deep convection, at one degree resolution, from 17 years of polar-orbiting, satellite imagery. These data are used to analyze and discuss the ...
On the Nature of the Winter Season Rainfall in the Dominican Republic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The winter season rainfall data for the Dominican Republic for the years 1960?67 are examined in detail. Frontal zones dissipating over the area are found to he the primary rain-producing mechanism during the winter months. ...
Large-Scale Hybrid Bayesian Network for Traffic Load Modeling from Weigh-in-Motion System Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Traffic load plays an important role not only in the design of new bridges but also in the reliability assessment of existing structures. Weigh-in-motion systems are used to collect data to determine traffic loads. In this ...
Investigation of Material Properties for Load Rating of Historical Bridges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: More than 6,500 material test observations of historical reinforcing steel bars, structural steel, and concrete were compiled from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) database. Statistical distributions were ...
Case Study on the Collapse Potential of a Wharf Supported by Severely Deteriorated Steel Piles under Gravitational Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents findings from a research project on the development of a numerical framework to predict the collapse load of a wharf supported by corroded piles under gravitational loads. Data from a detailed marine ...
How Stapes Ankylosis and Fracture Affect Middle Ear Dynamics: A Numerical Study
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical models of the human middle ear have been developed throughout the last 30 years, for different purposes. While several types of pathologies have been studied, stapedial disorders were seldomly explored. This ...
Pore Solution, Porosity, and Microstructure of Ternary Cement Matrices: A Holistic and Strategic View of Concrete Durability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, microstructural changes of cementitious matrices, provided by the combined use of silica fume and nanosilica, were investigated and deeply discussed based on the techniques of scanning electron microscopy ...
Cooperation on GPS Meteorology between the United States and Cuba
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n May 2014 a team of atmospheric and geodetic scientists from UNAVCO and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) sent and helped set up a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to measure atmospheric ...
Identifying Household Water Use through Transient Signal Classification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The research reported in this paper aims to develop a household water use identification method through signal pattern analysis. An experimental facility was constructed to simulate bathroom and kitchen water use. The data ...
A Comparison of Rainfall, Outgoing Longwave Radiation, and Divergence over the Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observed rainfall, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), divergence, and precipitation from the reanalysis project of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are ...
