RISA Novel Suction-and-Irrigation Laparoscopic Surgical Instrument: Internal Design and Preclinical Performance Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Objective: Laparoscopic instruments with suction and irrigation functions often lead to tissue damage during removal of the aspirated tissues, owing to the presence of aspiration into the side holes of their catheters. To ...
Effects of Corrosion of Steel Reinforcement on RC Columns Wrapped with FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in protecting reinforced concrete (RC) columns from corrosion of steel reinforcement. Thirty small-scale RC columns and four midscale ...
Influence of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation on the Relationship between El Niño and the Northeast Asian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) on the relationship between El Niño and the northeast Asian summer monsoon (NEASM) is examined using observational datasets for the period of 1979?2007. When El Niño ...
Behavior of Various Anchorage Systems Used for Shear Strengthening of Concrete Structures with Externally Bonded FRP Sheets
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Efforts to prevent the debonding failure mode of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening systems have led to the investigation of many different kinds of anchorage systems. An effective anchorage ...
The Low-Frequency Relationship of the Tropical–North Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Teleconnections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The low-frequency relationship between interannual tropical and North Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in observations and a coupled general circulation model (CGCM) is investigated. The authors use the ...
On the Relative Importance of Rheology for Image-Based CFD Models of the Carotid Bifurcation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models derived from medical images often require simplifying assumptions to render the simulations conceptually or computationally ...
Internal Atmospheric Variability and Interannual-to-Decadal ENSO Variability in a CGCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interactive ensemble coupling strategy has been developed specifically to determine how noise due to internal atmosphere dynamics impacts climate variability within the context of coupled general circulation models ...
ENSO Amplitude Changes due to Climate Change Projections in Different Coupled Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four climate system models are chosen here for an analysis of ENSO amplitude changes in 4 ? CO2 climate change projections. Despite the large changes in the tropical Pacific mean state, the changes in ENSO amplitude are ...
An Episodic Weakening in the Boreal Spring SST–Precipitation Relationship in the Western Tropical Pacific since the Late 1990s
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWe found that a positive sea surface temperature (SST)?precipitation relationship in the western tropical Pacific (WTP) during boreal spring, in which higher SSTs are associated with higher precipitation, episodically ...
Nonlinear Response of Summertime Synoptic-Scale Disturbance Intensity over the Tropical Western North Pacific to ENSO Amplitude
