Abstract: Ten flow cells, called mesocosms, are used to investigate the effect of different gravel sizes (38 and

Abstract: The clogging of tire shreds and gravel is based on four column tests permeated with landfill leachate for up to

Abstract: Skill-score decompositions can be used to analyze the effects of bias on forecasting skill. However, since bias terms are typically squared, and bias is measured in skill-score units rather than in units of the forecasts, ...

Abstract: This paper describes the design of a low-cost wheelchair dynamometer used to evaluate patient performance while using their own wheelchairs. Specifications are listed and details of the overall ...

Abstract: A multiple wavelength solar radiometer designed for the purpose of measuring atmospheric optical depth at discrete wavelengths through the visible region is described. Experimental techniques including sample observations, ...

Abstract: A new analytic solution to the lidar equation is presented, which realistically considers the scattering properties of the aerosols and the molecular atmosphere individually. With this solution, it is shown, in turbid ...

Abstract: The lateral-torsional buckling capacity of steel bridge girders is often increased by incorporating bracing along the girder length. Permanent metal deck forms (PMDF) that are used to support the wet concrete deck during ...

Abstract: Metal deck forms are frequently used in the steel building and bridge industries as formwork for the wet concrete slab. Although the forms are often relied on for stability bracing during construction in buildings, ...

Abstract: Permanent metal deck forms (PMDFs) are often used in the bridge industry to support wet concrete and other loads during construction. Although metal formwork in the building industry is routinely relied on for stability ...
