The Capitanian (Late Guadalupian) Maokou Formation at Chaotian in northern Sichuan, South China, is composed mainly of shallow marine shelf carbonates deposited on the Tethyan side of South China. By detailed field mapping and scientific drilling, we newly found out unique fossil assemblages and a sharp lithologic change in the upper part of the Maokou Formation. The main part of the Maokou For...

—For designing maritime wireless transmission system, the radio propagation over sea surface needs to be known first. One of the distinct characteristics of maritime radio propagation is the impact of ship motions due to the fluctuation of sea waves. This paper establishes a radio propagation model with the integration of the effects of ship motions. Using such an integrated radio propagation ...

Quantifying faults in manufacturing processes is a crucial concern, particularly in new manufacturing processes where continual product improvement is desired. We present an approach to incrementally diagnose fault patterns on surfaces of product components. Contemporary experimental and surface-analysis techniques are adapted at each step of the approach. Specifically, a maturing layeredmanufa...

the moisture flux convergence (mfc) and relative humidity in dusty days at different times and levels over the alvand mountain was investigated. the required basic data for the years 2009-2012, including relative humidity, visibility and synoptic codes, were gathered from hamadan synoptic station, while sea level pressure, uwind, vwind and specific humidity data were gathered from ncer/ncar sit...

In recent years, the use of offshore wind turbines has been considered on the agenda of the countries which have a significant maritime boundary due to more speed and stability of wind at sea. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of wind turbulence on the aero-hydrodynamic behavior of offshore wind turbines with a monopile platform. Since in the sea, the wind turbine structures ar...
