Use of lidar aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations in the southeast Atlantic

Athanasios Nenes

Accurately capturing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations is key to understanding the aerosol-cloud interactions that continue to feature the highest uncertainty amongst numerous climate forcings. In situ CCN observations are sparse, and most non ...

Window Size Effects on Subjective Impressions of Daylit Spaces: Indoor Studies at High Latitudes Using Virtual Reality

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Kynthia Chamilothori

Daylight provision to the indoor space is affected by different building elements that cannot be fully controlled by the users, such as the window size of a space. The dimensions of the fenestration not only affect the lighting levels, but they also affect ...

H∞ and μ-Synthesis for Nanosatellites Rendezvous and Docking

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

In this brief, the nanosatellite rendezvous and docking problem is tackled. It was never attempted for small spacecraft, as critical technologies, such as six-degree-of-freedom (DoF) micropropulsion systems, have only recently become available due to advan ...

Inferring Accurate Bus Trajectories from Noisy Estimated Arrival Time Records

Lakmal Buddika Meegahapola

Urban commuting data has long been a vital source of understanding population mobility behaviour and has been widely adopted for various applications such as transport infrastructure planning and urban anomaly detection. While individual-specific transacti ...

3D Laser Shock Peening – A new method for the 3D control of residual stresses in Selective Laser Melting

Roland Logé, Christian Leinenbach, Jamasp Jhabvala, Eric Boillat, Nikola Kalentics

This paper describes a hybrid additive manufacturing process – 3D Laser Shock Peening (3D LSP), based on the integration of Laser Shock Peening (LSP) with selective laser melting (SLM). The well-known tensile residual stresses (TRS) in the as – built (AB) ...

The effects of radiation on ablative heat shields during atmospheric entry

Nikhil Banerji

Spacecraft employ composite materials as Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) to survive entering a planetary atmosphere at hypersonic speeds. Under intense convective and radiative heating from the surrounding shock layer, these composites decompose and erode ...

Deployment and Performance Analyses of High-Resolution Iowa XPOL Radar System during the NASA IFloodS Campaign

Jacopo Grazioli

This article presents the data collected and analyzed using the University of Iowa's X-band polarimetric (XPOL) radars that were part of the spring 2013 hydrology-oriented Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign, sponsored by NASA's Global Precipitatio ...

Rollable Multisegment Dielectric Elastomer Minimum Energy Structures for a Deployable Microsatellite Gripper

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Jun Shintake, Volker Gass, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi, Muriel Richard

Debris in space presents an ever-increasing problem for spacecraft in Earth orbit. As a step in the mitigation of this issue, the CleanSpace One (CSO) microsatellite has been proposed. Its mission is to perform active debris removal of a decommissioned nan ...

Sequestration, Scholarship, Sentinel: The Post-Politics of Peace (and War)

Nikolas Kosmatopoulos

n Lebanon, diverse sociopolitical projects have sought to mend the wounds, repair the cracks, and overhaul the loss of the devastating civil war (1975–90). Experts and technopolitics have featured centrally in almost all of them. In my anthropological rese ...

Probing the z> 6 universe with the first Hubble frontier fields cluster A2744

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement

The Hubble Frontier Fields program combines the capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with the gravitational lensing of massive galaxy clusters to probe the distant universe to an unprecedented depth. Here, we present the results of the first co ...

Détection vibratoire de l'érosion de cavitation des turbines Francis

Cavitation erosion of Francis turbines continues to impose costly repairs and loss of revenues. This erosion is primarily caused by leading edge cavitation. A revue of the literature reveals the non-existence of an absolutely validated detection technique ...
