ATLANTIC IMPACTS ON SUBDECADAL WARMING OVER THE TROPICAL PACIFIC IN THE 2000S


Intelligent Hybrid Taguchi-Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Criteria Optimization of Shaft Alignment in Marine Vessels

An intelligent hybrid Taguchi-genetic algorithm (IHTGA) is used to optimize bearing offsets and shaft alignment in a marine vessel propulsion system.The objectives are to minimize normal shaft stress and shear force.The constraints are permissible reaction force, bearing stress, shear force, and bending moment in the shaft thrust flange under cold

Hematogenous metastasis and tumor dormancy as concepts or dogma? The continuum of vessel co-option and angiotropic extravascular migratory metastasis as an alternative

It has been accepted for many years that tumor cells spread via the circulation to distant sites.The latency period between treatment and tumor recurrence has been attributed to dormant cells in distant organs that emerge and grow as metastatic tumors.These processes are accepted with an incomplete demonstration of their existence.Challenging such

Quantification of continuous flood hazard using random forest classification and flood insurance claims at large spatial scales: a pilot study in southeast Texas

Pre-disaster planning and mitigation necessitate detailed spatial information about flood hazards and their associated risks.In the US, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) provides important information about areas subject to flooding during the 1 % riverine or coastal event.The binary nature of flood haz
