Knowledge of extreme precipitation phenomena is of crucial importance to the safety of civil engineering works and for electricity production management in a country of lakes and mountains like Switzerland. In order to study the distribution in space and t ...
Ozone (O3) and aerosols are harmful to human health. Long-range transport sources contribute to the background levels upon which local pollution builds. The goal of this thesis is to describe and quantify the respective contribution of local and long-range ...
Moving from a recent quantitative model of the US colonization in the 19th century that relies on analytical and numerical results of reactive-diffusive transport on fractal river networks, this paper considers its generalization to include an embedded flo ...
The concentration and chemical composition of ambient fine particulate material (PM2.5) is reported for two sampling sites in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metropolitan area: the Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) PM study si ...
This paper describes a new method to determine the equivalent transverse heat transfer coefficient between the helium flow in the cable bundle and the flow in the central space of a CICC's with parallel cooling channel. The method is based on the analysis ...
A historical record of changes in the N2O isotope composition is important for a better understanding of the global N2O atmospheric budget. Here we have combined measurements of trapped gases in the firn and in ice cores of one Arctic site (North GReenland ...
An investigation was conducted to detect the change-point years in the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and precipitation time series in Iran for the period 1951-1999 (49 years). Due to the unavailability of data, the record length of the precipitation tim ...
Knowledge of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) is essential for understanding the physics of precipitation and for interpreting remotely sensed observations of rain. Disdrometer measurements of DSDs are affected by uncertainties due to the limited sampl ...
Evaporation from porous media involves mass and energy transport including phase change, vapor diffusion, and liquid flow, resulting in complex displacement patterns affecting drying rates. Force balance considering media properties yields characteristic l ...
This paper advocates an implicit-surface representation of generic 3--D surfaces to take advantage of occluding edges in a very robust way. This lets us exploit silhouette constraints in uncontrolled environments that may involve occlusions and changing or ...
