A fully coupled tide-surge-wave model was developed to study the influence of different computational domains on typhoon wave characteristics in waters surrounding Taiwan. Three typhoons were selected as cases: Meranti, Malakas, and Megi, which successively impacted Taiwan September 2016. Superposition CFSV2 winds blended with ERA5 onto yielded optimum simulations waves. Storm responses along e...

This document contains a review of the current status of cellular location technology and near-future developments. Location methods based on cellular system signals (GSM and UMTS), and GPS are presented and evaluated in terms of their applicability for the purposes of CELLO project targets. The location-based applications of CELLO project, i.e. locationaided planning, location-aided handover, ...

The effect of carbon addition on the magnetostriction of Fe–Ga and Fe–Al alloys was investigated and is summarized in this study. It was found that the addition of carbon generally increased the magnetostriction over binary alloys of Fe–Ga and Fe–Al systems. The formation of carbide in the Fe–Ga–C alloys with a composition near D03 phase region decreased the magnetostriction drastically. Fe–Al–...

Abstract. The sensitive ecosystem of the central Himalayan (CH) region, which is experiencing enhanced stress from anthropogenic forcing, requires adequate atmospheric observations and an improved representation Himalaya in models. However, accuracy models remains limited this region due to highly complex mountainous topography. This article delineates effects spatial resolution on modeled mete...

The earlier-described master equation approach to the configurational kinetics of nonequilibrium alloys is used to study kinetic features of ‘multivariant’ orderings for which more than two types of ordered domain are possible. To this end we make extensive simulations of various phase transformations involving D03-type orderings for a number of alloy models. The microscopic structure of variou...

The local-spin-density approximation and the generalized-gradient approximation ~GGA! are used to perform density-functional total-energy calculations at zero temperature for Fe3Al in the ordered D03 and L12 structures. Our calculations show that commonly used GGA functionals fail to predict the experimentally stable D03 structure as the one with the lower total energy. This qualitative discrep...
