Influence of land-surface and turbulent parameterization schemes on regional-scale boundary layer characteristics over northern India by Panda, Jagabandhu, Sharan, Maithili

“…The qualitative and quantitative analyses indicate that the model predictions are relatively better over three north Indian cities namely Delhi, Ahmedabad and Jodhpur when the Mellor–Yamada–Janjic boundary layer scheme along with Noah land-surface model is used. The near surface flow features during both summer and winter cases indicate the major role of land surface models (LSMs) as compared to the boundary layer parameterizations in governing the regional scale flow fields. …”

Visualizing vein patterns from color skin images based on image mapping for forensics analysis by Tang, Chaoying, Zhang, Hengyi, Craft, Noah, Kong, A. W.

“…Traditionally, it was difficult to use vein patterns in evidence images for forensic identification, because they were nearly invisible in color images. We proposed a computational method based on skin optics to uncover vein patterns from color images. …”

Unidirectional surface plasmons in nonreciprocal graphene by Lin, Xiao, Xu, Yang, Zhang, Baile, Hao, Ran, Chen, Hongsheng, Li, Erping

“…By efficiently controlling the chemical potential of graphene, the unidirectional working frequency can be continuously tunable from THz to near-infrared and even visible. Particularly, the unidirectional frequency bandwidth can be 1– 2 orders of magnitude larger than that in metal under the same magnetic field, which arises from the superiority of extremely small effective electron mass in graphene. …”

Monitoring the drying process of glutinous rice using hyperspectral imaging coupled with multivariate analysis by Jimoh, Kabiru Ayobami, Hashim, Norhashila, Shamsudin, Rosnah, Che Man, Hasfalina, Jahari, Mahirah

“…Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an optical technology that harnesses the combination of imaging and spectroscopy techniques for quantifying and qualifying the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. The visible-near infrared (Vis-NIR) HSI system with a spectral range of 450–1000 nm was employed in this study to monitor the moisture content of glutinous rice during hot-air drying. …”

Magnetohydrodynamics CU˗TiO2 hybrid nanofluid with viscous dissipation by Rahimah, Jusoh, Zulkhibri, Ismail, Muhammad Khairul Anuar, Mohamed, Nooraini, Zainuddin

“…He proposed that the influence of friction was primarily confined to the boundary layer, which is a thin layer near the surface, while the flow beyond this layer was nearly inviscid, akin to the flow discussed for centuries prior (Anderson, 2005). …”

A sharp immersed method for 2D flow-body interactions using the vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations by Ji, Xinjie, Gabbard, James, van Rees, Wim M.

“…However, for the vorticity-velocity form of the Navier-Stokes equations, existing immersed geometry discretizations for two-way coupled problems only achieve first order spatial accuracy near solid boundaries. Here we introduce a sharp-interface approach based on the immersed interface method to handle the one- and two-way coupling between an incompressible flow and one or more rigid bodies using the 2D vorticity-velocity Navier-Stokes equations. …”

Cross-Shelf Exchange Driven by Dense Flow Down a Canyon by Mier, Christian M.

“…At later times, another mechanism may also be at play where large dense cyclonic (anticlockwise) eddies on the northern continental shelf may pull more dense water out of the canyon producing a region of low pressure, near the canyon head, which induces an increase in ambient flow into the canyon. …”
