A physical and mathematical framework for the mutually consistent parameterization of the effects of cumulus convection on the large-scale momentum and vorticity fields is proposed. The key to achieving consistency is the understanding that the vorticity dynamics of the clouds below the spatial resolution of a large-scale dynamical model may...
A procedure has been developed to optimize designs of metal-clad post-frame buildings using an expert system. The novel part of the study is the development of a procedure that extends the solution of an engineering problem from a conventional algorithmic Computer Aided Design (CAD) program to be used by the...

We have used the modal expansion of the wave function in the discontinuity region based on the superposition principle together with a mode-matching technique to investigate the transmission characteristics of semiconductor quantum wire structures with discontinuities. Our calculations compare quite well with published results for the theoretical transmission coefficient and...
