Abstract: An existing desert site for hazardous chemical and low‐level radioactive waste disposal is evaluated for suitability. This site is characterized using geologic, geohydrologic, geochemical, and other considerations. Design ...

Abstract: The heat budget of a small region (?2 km?2 km) near the coast of northwest Africa was investigated during a 3-day period in March 1974 when light winds (?2 m s?1) occurred. Horizontal advection and diffusion of heat were ...

Abstract: The heat of neutralization between acid and base solutions may be used in laboratory models of atmospheric circulation to simulate the thermal effects of release of latent heat of condensation. This concept is used here ...

Abstract: Current records were recently obtained from two sites on the Continental slope southwest of Kodiak Island. At the inshore site (10-month record), flow mainly resembled the weak shelf-break flow typical of the Gulf of Alaska. ...

Abstract: During oblique vehicular impacts with longitudinal barriers, an occupant’s head is often ejected out of a side window. When this occurs, the occupant’s head can contact the barrier or an object attached thereto. This impact ...

Abstract: An existing mountable safety barrier system, previously crash tested successfully on a wood bridge deck, was evaluated for use on a fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) bridge deck. In an attempt to avoid expensive full-scale ...

Abstract: Roadside cross-drainage culverts have been found to affect vehicle accident injury levels. As a result, highway designers have commonly used three safety treatments to protect errant motorists from striking culvert openings. ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials can be used for the fabrication of lightweight, corrosion-resistant honeycomb sandwich panels, representing a convenient and economical alternative to traditional steel ...
