Abstract: letcher?s simple model for the electric force between charged conducting spheres (with reference to cloud droplets) is compared with an exact model and also with another approximate model. His results for the charge ratio ...

Abstract: Cloud data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) database have been introduced into the global circuit model developed by Tinsley and Zhou. Using the cloud-top pressure data and cloud type information, the authors have...

Abstract: Vortex-induced lift loads and their energy spectra were measured on laboratory-scale models of isolated, rigid, right circular cylinders subjected to steady, transverse currents. The control cylinder ...

Abstract: The ultimate goal of cancer treatment utilizing thermotherapy is to eradicate tumors and minimize damage to surrounding host tissues. To achieve this goal, it is important to develop an accurate ...

Abstract: Current methodologies of fire origin investigation have yet to include the structural deformations witnessed in steel buildings as a viable indicator of the area of fire origin. In this paper, the validity of using such a ...
