Abstract: The predictive value and the reliability of evaluations made in immersive projection environments are limited when compared to the real world. As in other applications of numerical simulations, ...

Abstract: This paper presents two important perspectives that road authorities should consider under terrorism evacuation scenarios. First, households have been observed to gather prior to evacuating an area. Rather than immediately ...

Abstract: This work is aimed at contributing to the thermal analysis of slip flow through circular microducts, providing an analytical solution to the energy conservation equation for partially heated walls. A uniform wall heat flux ...

Abstract: This work investigated the factors affecting household choice of departure time during evacuations in Hurricane Matthew in 2016. Departure time estimates are needed to predict time-varying evacuation demand for use in ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical study is presented for the calculation of turbulent flow in compound channels. The flow simulations are performed by solving the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged continuity and Navier–Stokes ...

Abstract: The energy consumption of animal- and plant-based diets and, more broadly, the range of energetic planetary footprints spanned by reasonable dietary choices are compared. It is demonstrated that the greenhouse gas emissions ...

Abstract: The femtosecond energy diffusion sensor is presented as a non-contact tool for the use in the characterization of thin film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) photovoltaic cells. The sensor ...

Abstract: Producing hydrogen in a cost-effective manner while minimizing environmental impacts is a big challenge. Hydrogen can be generated with carbon as a by-product from thermal decomposition of natural ...

Abstract: The dry and hat weather in the southeast United States during the first seven months of 1986 caused record drought. The agricultural and hydrological perspectives of this drought are examined via a climatological time ...
