A WIND-TUNNEL INVESTIGATION OF THE LIMITATIONS OF THERMISTOR ANEMOMETRY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental investigation of the characteristics of thermistors, when used as anemometers, has been made. The various modes of operating thermistor micro-anemometers are studied, and the sensitivity and errors discussed. ...
<i>Review of <i>Fundamentals of Transportation Engineering: A Multimodal Systems Approach</i> by Jon D. Fricker and Robert K. Whitford</i>

Revisiting the Strengths and Limitations of Regulatory Contracts in Infrastructure Industries
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper evaluates regulation by contract in public-private partnerships (PPPs) in infrastructure services. Although the benefits of competition for the market and of regulatory contracts are widely acknowledged, the ...
Abyssal Mixing: Where It Is Not
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization based on internal wave/wave interaction theory, which infers turbulence production from finescale internal wave shear, is applied to 114 full-water-depth velocity profiles in the Sargasso Sea. An average ...
Near-Inertial Wave Interactions with Mean Flow and Bottom Topography near Caryn Seamount
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Velocity measurements near Caryn Seamount in the Sargasso Sea reveal intensified mean and near-inertial motions in the upper ocean. Embedded in a regional eastward flow is an anticyclonic eddy that appears to be tied to ...
Risks, Contracts, and Private-Sector Participation in Infrastructure
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This article examines how risk is reflected in infrastructure regulatory contracts, using examples from water utilities to illustrate key points. Partnerships between public and private sectors in intensive capital network ...
Active Control of Discrete-Frequency Turbomachinery Noise Using a Rotary-Valve Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Turbomachine discrete-frequency tones, a significant environmental concern, are generated by rotor-stator interactions. Specific spatial modes are generated, but not all generated modes propagate to ...
Submesoscale Dynamics near a Seamount. Part I: Measurements of Ertel Vorticity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The prevailing view that submesoscale fluctuations (horizontal wavelengths less than a few kilometers and vertical wavelengths less than a few hundred meters) are dominated by internal gravity waves is tested by measuring ...
