The effect of heating rate on the softening behaviour of a deformed Al–Mn alloy with strong and weak concurrent precipitation

The interaction between recrystallization and concurrent precipitation is strongly dependent on the heating rate during annealing. In this study, the effects of heating rate on the grain structure, recrystallization texture and resulting mechanical propert ...

The influence of atmospheric circulation on the mid-Holocene climate of Europe: a data-model comparison

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Pamela Collins

The atmospheric circulation is a key area of uncertainty in climate model simulations of future climate change, especially in mid-latitude regions such as Europe where atmospheric dynamics have a significant role in climate variability. It has been propose ...

Atmospheric and oceanic climate forcing of the exceptional Greenland ice sheet surface melt in summer 2012

Konrad Steffen

The NASA announcement of record surface melting of the Greenland ice sheet in July 2012 led us to examine the atmospheric and oceanic climatic anomalies that are likely to have contributed to these exceptional conditions and also to ask the question of how ...

Experimental investigation of the human convective boundary layer in a quiescent indoor environment

Dusan Licina

This study aims to characterize human convective boundary layer (CBL) in a quiescent indoor environment. The study has two objectives: first, to characterize the velocity field around the thermal manikin under two ambient temperatures and body postures; an ...

Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Evaluation of a Novel Microfluidic Impedance Cytometer for Morphology-Based Cell Discrimination

Philippe Renaud, Ludovica Colella, Marjan Shaker

The performance of a novel microfluidic impedance cytometer [1] for single-cell analysis is investigated in-silico by means of a finite element model. The main feature of the device is the ability to probe impedance of flowing cells along two orthogonal di ...

Flow during the evening transition over steep Alpine slopes

Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ...

Similarity Scaling Over a Steep Alpine Slope

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Eric Richard Pardyjak, Daniel Nadeau

In this study,we investigate the validity of similarity scaling over a steep mountain slope (30–41◦). The results are based on eddy-covariance data collected during the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010); a field campaign conducted in a narrow vall ...

Circulation patterns in open, wide and deep lacustrine embayments with different aspect ratios

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Amir Mehdi Razmi

Numerical simulations were carried out to examine the effect of different horizontal aspect ratios on wind-induced circulation within open, wide and deep lacustrine embayments. Two adjacent embayments in Lake Geneva, Switzerland, located between Morges and ...
