I am hiking along the Metacomet Ridge in Greenfield, Massachusetts – a rather steep basaltic structure, modestly less than five hundred feet high and topped by a stately brick tower constructed in ...

In this article, we have investigated the effect of the Gurevich polarization force on both large-amplitude dust-acoustic (DA) solitary waves and double-layer (DL) structures in a collisionless ...

Direct Measurement of the Binding Force between Microfabricated Particles and a Planar Surface in Aqueous Solution by Force-Sensing Piezoresistive Cantilevers. Langmuir 2005, 21 (24) , 11251-11261.

But the Federal Aviation Administration, the U.S. Air Force, NOAA, and NASA generally use 50 miles (80 kilometers) as the boundary, with the Air Force granting astronaut wings to flyers who go ...

Atmospheric fronts are an important feature of the marine atmospheric boundary layer. In this paper, India's first synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mission, RISAT-1, is used to detect the atmospheric ...

We measured the forces required to slide sessile drops over surfaces. The forces were measured by means of a vertical deflectable capillary stuck in the drop. The drop adhesion force instrument (DAFI) ...

How Road Force Balancing Solves the Problem Road force balancing simulates real-world driving conditions. A large roller applies up to 1,400 pounds of force against the tire, mimicking vehicle weight.

The study of the processes that lead to the formation, growth, and precipitation of clouds in the boundary layer of the lower atmosphere. Develops models and analyzes observations to understand the ...

Its 5,000-mile journey now complete, a massive plume of dust that originated in the Sahara Desert has reached South Florida. The dust, known as the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), blanketed skies over Puerto ...
