From research on stratospheric dynamics there has emerged what might prove to be some useful fresh ideas about the problem of water-wave generation by wind. As pointed out in an earlier contribution (1993), water waves can be systematically amplified by two irreversible, ratchet-like mechanisms that depend on spatio-temporal inhomogeneities, such as wind gustiness and wave groupiness. Neither m...

introduction: marginal adaptation is the most critical item in long-term prognosis of single crowns. this study aimed to assess the marginal quality as well asthe discrepancies in marginal integrity of some pfm single crowns of posterior teeth by employing parallel radiography in shiraz dental school, shiraz, iran. methods: in this descriptive study, parallel radiographies were taken from 200 f...

laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. experiments were carried out using mach-zehnder interferometer and the fluent code was used for numerical study. investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

Modelling Martian surface dust lifting: This work uses the UK version of the LMD Mars Global Circulation Model (“the MGCM”). The MGCM is a global, multi-level spectral model of the lower and middle regions of the Martian atmosphere. The UK version of the model uses a truncated series of spherical harmonics to represent horizontal variations in atmospheric fields, with the field values stored as...

this article considers the seismic behavior of beam-to-column joints in steel frames for different bolt arrangements by using of finite element modeling. as the most important beam-to-column joint type, the beam-to-column joints with end-plate is chosen for the analysis. four different specimens have been analyzed. these models had some differences such as bolt arrangement and the presence or a...

[1] The ‘‘Advanced Regional Prediction System’’ forecast model is extended up to the stratopause and over the entire hemisphere to simulate gravity waves during 24 January 2005. With a 15-km horizontal resolution, the simulation produces dominant gravity wave features near Eastern Greenland that are associated mainly with orographic forcing by the Greenland terrain. The simulated wave temperatu...

in order to determine the stability of underwater robots, their governing differential equations of motion in vertical and horizontal planes should be investigated. for horizontal plane stability, using routh stability criterion, four hydrodynamic coefficients, including derivatives of the lateral force and vertical moment with respect to sway and angular velocity are required. these coefficien...

The occurrence of high nocturnal surface ozone over a tropical urban area (23̊ 32′16.99′′ N and 87̊ 17′ 38.95′′ E) is analyzed in this paper. Five incidences of nocturnal ozone maxima are recorded during the observational span of two years (June, 2013 to May, 2015). The maximum and minimum values of the surface ozone during these five occasions are 337.630 μg/m3 and 13.034 μg/m3 respectively. HYS...
