Abstract Gas-Coupled Laser Acoustic Detection (GCLAD) is an ultrasonic, non-contact Toddler detection technique that has been recently proven to be applicable to the inspection of mechanical components.GCLAD response raises as the intersection length between the probe laser beam and the acoustic wavefront propagating in the air increases; such feat
Background: Residential buildings with heat pumps show promising possibilities for demand-side management.The operation optimization of such heating systems can lead to cost reduction and, at the same time, change electricity consumption patterns, which is especially prevalent in the case of a variable price signal.In this work, we deal with the f
The Mesoscale to Microscale Coupling team, part of the U.S.Department of Energy Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative, has studied various important challenges related to coupling mesoscale models to microscale models for the use case of wind energy development and operation.Several coupling methods and Western Tack Sets techniques for generatin
Abstract As NASA prepares for longer duration missions beyond the geomagnetic field, the possibility of intensifying galactic cosmic ray (GCR) exposure raises possible concerns for mission planning and crew health and safety.Spaceborne satellite measurements have exhibited increasing GCR intensities and dose‐rates over the past few solar minima,
