High resolution data of moisture, temperature and wind velocity
collected by aircraft during the 1975 Air Mass Transformation
Experiment (ANTEX '75) provide information for detailed investigations
of the phenomena occurring at the top of a cloud-topped mixed
layer.
Joint frequency diagrams of humidity and temperature reveal that
for parts of...
The structure of turbulence and transport of heat is examined from data obtained from 11 aircraft soundings executed in heated boundary layers during the Air Mass Transformation Experiment. Various influences on the turbulent transport are revealed by analyzing properties of the joint frequency distribution in polar coordinate. Such an analysis...
Aircraft data collected at the top of a cloud-topped mixed layer during the Air Mass Transformation Experiment are analyzed. Entrainment instability due to evaporation of liquid water is found to occur intermittently. This instability and upward heat flux occur frequently at the downstream edge of cloudy mixed-layer motions which have...
To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...
The numerical modeling of motions in the atmosphere's
planetary boundary layer (PBL) is a challenging task. In
general, the boundary layer interacts with both the overlying
atmosphere and the underlying land or water surface
in a complex manner. Random turbulence is also present in
the PBL which precludes exact prediction...
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathology currently affecting nearly 44 million individuals worldwide, yet there are not currently any effective treatments or preventions for AD despite the rapid development in our understanding of the disease over the last four decades. The medical and sanitary innovations of the last century...
The very stable boundary layer is a region of the atmosphere typified by large
vertical gradients of temperature and momentum. Analysis of very stable atmospheric
flows is complicated by the presence of nonlinear interactions among gravity waves, shear-driven
overturning circulations, two-dimensional vortical modes and intermittent turbulence
in various stages of...
Poor aqueous solubility of a large number of newly discovered chemical entities is posing a significant challenge for the formulation industry and is delaying their drug development. The number of formulation techniques available to solubilize these poorly soluble molecules is very limited. In addition to that, traditional formulation methods involve...
Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-,
24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at
Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool
seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS
surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...
