Abstract: Documented correlations between building occupant health effects and exposure to indoor airborne contaminants are very limited because of low indoor concentrations and confounding exposure elsewhere. ...

Abstract: For many applications it is assumed that the turbulent fluctuations of the wind components are normally distributed. The validity of this assumption was examined for the first 90 m of the atmosphere by observing the skewness ...

Abstract: Sustainable resolution of complex and controversial environmental issues by government agencies in the public policy arena can hinge on the success of the decision-making process. Governmental partnerships can assist in ...

Abstract: Since the mid-1960s it is not unusual for large public projects to be highly controversial. Frequently the conflict is more about the values being supported by the goals of these projects than about their technical aspects. ...

Abstract: The application of Stokes fifth-order wave theory to random deep-water waves is considered in connection with nonlinearity in crest amplitudes. The theory is shown to apply, on average, to crest amplitudes and wave heights, ...

Abstract: Wind load is one of the main concerns for engineers in the design of tall buildings. In contrast to seismic demand, the wind load spectrum has more energy at lower frequencies, which is why taller buildings that have less ...
