We evaluate the statistical relationship between ENSO state and global seasonal temperature and precipitation, creating and analyzing maps of the linear correlation betwe[...]

ABSTRACTThe demand on energy consumption is ever increasing, making it necessary to develop appropriate materials that can help maintain consumption levels. Windows in a [...]

Spotting by firebrands is the only mechanism that is capable of initiating fires miles from a fire line. The firebrand phenomenon can be understood in three major sequent[...]

Innovations in engineered wood products have led to an increased interest in the design and construction of high-rise timber buildings. However, concerns arise when consi[...]

Metallic glass was rst reported in 1960 by rapid quenching of Au-Si alloys. But, due to the size limitation, this material did not attract remarkable interest until the d[...]

Electric load forecasting, as a basic requirement for the decision-making in power utilities, has been improved in various aspects in the past decades. Many factors may a[...]

“There’s plenty of room at the bottom,” Richard Feynman remarked in his visionary lecture, inviting physicists to manipulate matter at the atomic scale. That invitation i[...]

In this work, the influence of electric fields and atmospheric plasma on the behavior of an ultrafast femtosecond laser beam is being studied. A femtosecond laser pulse h[...]

Indoor thermal environmental conditions play a significant role in protecting occupants’ well-being. In this regard, schedule-based and predefined environmental control i[...]

Colloidal semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) are ideal candidates for optoelectronic devices such as solar cells and LEDs because of their high photoluminescence (PL) quan[...]
