The authors use a coupled atmosphere-ocean-wave model (SWAN) to simulate winds in a particular region on the continental shelf in the Mediterranean Sea. After showing that the model does a good job in reproducing the observed wind and wave patters, the authors use different parameterizations for the atmospheric bottom roughness length: in one case it depends on wind intensity ("uncoupled" simul...

introduction: bleaching process can affect surface roughness of enamel, which is a vital factor in esthetic and resistance of tooth. the aim of this study was to compare surface roughness of enamel in teeth bleached using diode and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (nd: yag) lasers with those bleached using conventional method. methods: in this study, 75 anterior human teeth from upper a...

To save the escaping time for the coal mine flood, improve the emergency rescue efficiency, an NShortest Paths algorithm utilized bidirectional search is presented, which is based on the classical Dijkstra algorithm. The algorithm was proposed roadway length equivalent weights to simulate the mine roadway length. Combined with GIS theory to extract topology structure of mine, an undirected weig...

Millions of U.S. workers are at risk for a work-related motor vehicle crash. Fatality data show that across all industries, motor vehicle crashes are consistently the leading cause of work-related fatalities. Of 43,025 work-related fatalities reported by BLS between 2003 and 2010, 10,202 were the result of single- or multiple-vehicle crashes of workers driving or riding in a vehicle on a public...

different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  in the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. the flow hydraulics incl...

Components of road surface degradation are common constituents of urban runoff. Studies conducted in Europe have indicated that as much as 0.05-0. 10 inch of pavement surface is worn away from the roadway each year. The largest component of street pavement is the aggregate material itself, with additional smaller quantities originating from the asphalt binder, fillers and substances applied to ...

The outcomes achieved at the completion of a major industry-funded project undertaken by the CSIRO Mining Technology Group to advance the automation capability of continuous mining equipment in underground coal mining operations are reported. The details of a practical steering and guidance solution for autonomous Continuous Miner operation employing novel inertial navigation aiding techniques ...
