Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing long-term observational data and numerical model experiments, this study found that the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) affects the influence of ENSO-like sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs, ...
Dynamic Performance of Wedge-Shaped Self-Leveling Sleepers in Railway Transition Zones
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hanging sleepers, which result from the differential settlement of the ballast layer, are a prevalent issue that leads to the rapid degradation of track components that include the ballast, sleeper, fastener, and rail. A ...

Improved Anaerobic Degradation of Phenol with Supplemental Glucose
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this study, phenol degradation was investigated, with and without glucose as a cosubstrate, in batch and continuous studies. The two 2-L lab upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors were operated at a constant hydraulic ...
Residual Stress and Opening-Mode Fracture Analysis of Multilayered Structures Subjected to Thermal Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Temperature change after formation commonly results in thermal residual stress in multilayered structures due to the different thermal and mechanical properties of each layer. In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) elastic ...
Synthesis of Unit Hydrographs from a Digital Elevation Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Characterization of hydrologic processes of a watershed requires estimation of the specific time-response characteristics of the watershed. In the absence of observations these characteristics are estimated from watershed ...
Numerical Analysis on Fractured Roadway Stability Based on the FDM–DFN Coupling Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With the increasing complexity of mining conditions, the high degree of development of fractures in roadway surrounding rock significantly affects the stability of the rock mass in space, leading to difficulties in maintaining ...
Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph Evaluation for Rainfall-Runoff Modeling of Small Watersheds in North and South Central Texas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Data from over 1,600 storms at 91 stations in Texas are analyzed to evaluate an instantaneous unit hydrograph (IUH) model for rainfall-runoff models. The model is fit to observed data using two different merit functions: ...
Pore-Throat Structure in the Chang 7 Subformation Influencing the Differential Accumulation of Tight Sandstone Oil: Insight from SEM, Rate-Controlled Mercury, and High-Pressure Mercury Results
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The complicated pore-throat structure of unconventional resource formations such as tight sandstones influences petroleum accumulation and even exploitation, because the pore-throat structure is difficult to mark. A ...
