The present paper investigates the feasibility of using acetone (ACE) in triple blends with fossil diesel (D) and straight vegetable oils (SVOs) as alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this respect, ACE is selected as an oxygenated additivedue to...
An observed sea fog event over the Eastern Yellow Sea on 15–16 April 2012 was reproduced in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) simulation with high-resolution to investigate the roles of physical processes and synoptic-scale flows on advectio...
Stellar and black hole feedback heat and disperse surrounding cold gas clouds, launching gas flows off circumnuclear and galactic disks, producing a dynamic interstellar medium. On large scales bordering the cosmic web, feedback drives enriched gas o...
Based on the fifth-generation European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis data (ERA5), the real-time observation data from weather stations, and the radar products in Guangdong Province, we analyze the precipitation properties and f...
Magnetic pulse welding (MPW) is often categorized as a cold welding technology, whereas latest studies evidence melted and rapidly cooled regions within the joining interface. These phenomena already occur at very low impact velocities, when the heat...
This study focuses on the comparative analysis and research of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) in the outer rainband and inner rainband of Typhoon “Noru” in 2022, using the OTT-Parsivel raindrop spectrometer deployed on Yongxing Isla...
The properties of biodiesel are completely dependent on the fatty acid profile of feedstock oils. Several feedstocks are not in use for biodiesel production because of the presence of unsuitable fatty acids in their oils. The present study was conduc...
The severe ozone depletion over the Southern polar region, known as the “ozone hole,” is a stark example of global ozone depletion caused by human-made chemicals. This has implications for climate change and increased harmful surface sola...
To better understand the temperature changes in face slab concrete and address challenges such as delayed curing and outdated methods in complex and variable environments, this study investigates the use of visualization and real-time feedback contro...
The objective of this study is to detect the locations of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) in the coastal area of the El Jebha region, located in northwestern Morocco. It is hypothesized that this zone is fed by one of the most rain-rich karstic...
Seasonal snow cover in mountainous regions represents a critical natural freshwater reserve for arid and semi-arid areas of Central Asia. This study evaluates the long-term (2000–2024) spatiotemporal dynamics of snow cover in the Arys River bas...
Ice accretion presents serious safety issues, as airplanes are exposed to supercooled water droplets both on the ground and while flying through clouds in the troposphere. Prevention of icing is a main concern for both developers and users of aircraf...
Today, biofuels are indispensable in the implementation of fossil fuels replacement processes. This study evaluates ethyl acetate (EA) as a solvent of two straight vegetable oils (SVOs), castor oil (CO), and sunflower oil (SO), in order to obtain EA/...
With the increasing popularity of cloud-native architectures and containerized applications, Kubernetes has become a critical platform for managing these applications. However, Kubernetes still faces challenges when it comes to resource management. S...
From 14 to 17 August 2019, a heavy rainstorm occurred in Northeast China due to the combined influence of the residual vortex of typhoon 1909 (Lekima) and cold air intrusion. Based on the precipitation data of China Meteorological observation station...
Glaciers are one of the terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) as they respond very sensitively to climate change. A key driver of their response is the glacier surface mass balance that is typically derived from field measurements. It deserv...
Due to its unique benefits over conventional subtractive manufacturing, additive manufacturing methods continue to attract interest in both academia and industry. One such method is called Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM), a solid-state coati...
Cold Metal Transfer wire arc additive manufacturing (CMT-WAAM) efficiently fabricates medium and large metallic components, yet deposited wall cumulative height varies spatially along the build direction and deposition path due to heat accumulation,...
