Abstract: Risk assessment is a critical step in the roadmap of medical device development (MDD). Failure modes, effects and criticality analysis is a common approach based on declarative prior information that proved beneficial in ...

Abstract: This paper proposed radiative characteristics' expressions for media containing randomly oriented fibers in space. In deriving these simple radiative characteristics' expressions, the fibrous medium effective extinction ...

Abstract: At main international airports, air traffic safety and economic issues related to poor visibility conditions are crucial. Meteorologists face the challenge of supplying airport authorities with accurate forecasts of fog ...

Abstract: Areal rainfall estimation from ground sensors is essential as a direct input to various hydrometeorological models or as a validation of remote sensing estimates. More critical than the estimation itself is the assessment ...

Abstract: weakly damped mode of variability, corresponding to the oceanic signature of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) was found through the linear stability analysis of a realistic ocean general circulation model. A ...

Abstract: t is typically assumed that the meridional density gradient in the North Atlantic is well and positively correlated with the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). In numerical ?water-hosing? experiments, for ...

Abstract: A 1D model adapted for forecasting the formation and development of fog, and forced with mesoscale parameters derived from a 3D limited-area model, was used to simulate three fog event observations made during the Lille ...

Abstract: To improve the forecast of dense radiative fogs, a method has been developed using a one-dimensional model of the nocturnal boundary layer forced by the mesoscale fields provided by a 3D limited-area operational model. The ...

Abstract: The classical question of what happens; when a warm western boundary current, such as the North Brazil Current (NBC), retroflects is addressed analytically using a reduced-gravity nonlinear model. The traditional view is ...

Abstract: An analytic investigation of the thermal exchanges in channels is conducted with the prospect of building a simple method to determine the Nusselt number in steady, laminar or turbulent and ...
