The filler effect, due to the physical presence of mineral additions in cement, is mainly known to accelerate the hydration of the clinker component. Previously, this was attributed to the surface of the filler providing nucleation sites for C-S-H as there ...
We construct blow-up solutions of the energy critical wave map equation on R2+1→N with polynomial blow-up rate (t−1−ν for blow-up at t=0) in the case when N is a surface of revolution. Here we extend the blow-u ...
Land-surface heterogeneity affects turbulent fluxes of momentum and scalars (i.e., heat, moisture and trace gases). In particular, non-uniform momentum and scalar flux distributions are expected downwind of complex urban environments and steep topography, ...
Large-scale wind farms, covering a significant portion of the land and ocean surface, may affect the transport of momentum, heat, mass and moisture between the atmosphere and the land locally and globally. To understand the wind-farm-atmosphere interaction ...
We present inboard (HFS) and outboard (LFS) radial electric field (Er) and impurity temperature (Tz) measurements in the I-mode and H-mode pedestal of Alcator C-Mod. These measurements reveal strong Er wells at the HFS and the LFS midplane in both regimes ...
Turbulent boundary-layer flows over complex topography have been extensively studied in the atmospheric sciences and wind engineering communities. The upwind turbulence level, the atmospheric thermal stability and the shape of the topography as well as sur ...
A dynamic procedure is developed to compute the model coefficients in the recently introduced modulated gradient models for both momentum and scalar fluxes. The magnitudes of the subgrid-scale (SGS) stress and the SGS flux are estimated using the local equ ...
The spatiotemporal evolution of stress state is analyzed during the 2009-2010 Slow Slip Event (SSE) of Guerrero, Mexico, based on the kinematic inversion results and using an integral expression for stress changes. A linear slip weakening behavior is gener ...
The present invention related to an optical force sensing element for microsurgical instruments (22), for measuring force F in three orthogonal directions x, y, z, comprising a monolithic cylinder structure (1), a cylindrical surface (4) and a top surface ...
A stable and efficient numerical scheme for the evaluation of surface integrals with 1/R-3-type singularities is presented. The method is based on the combination of the direct evaluation method and the singularity subtraction technique. The proposed metho ...
