For generations, cyclones and tidal surges have frequently devastated lives and property in coastal and island Bangladesh. This study explores vulnerability to cyclone hazards using first-hand coping recollections from prior to, during and after these events. Qualitative field data suggest that, beyond extreme cyclone forces, localised vulnerability is defined in terms of response processes, in...

The kinetic energy budgets of several examples of synoptic scale systems are reviewed. Included are systems containing a major cyclone development, the immediate cyclone vicinity, and the anticyclone preceding the cyclone development. These are then considered in terms of their role in the general circulation of the middle latitudes. Results show that the cyclone system and cyclone vicinity are...

"Pre-separator plus1D2D cyclone" and "pre-separator plus 1D3D cyclone" systems were tested with ground gin trash, which contains 10.35% lint fiber and 5.49% fine dust (less than 100 μm). Test results indicate that the pre-separator collected gin trash at over 97% collection efficiency. There were no significant differences in emission concentrations and overall collection efficiencies from thes...

[1] Tropical cyclone accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) has exhibited strikingly large global interannual variability during the past 40‐years. In the pentad since 2006, Northern Hemisphere and global tropical cyclone ACE has decreased dramatically to the lowest levels since the late 1970s. Additionally, the global frequency of tropical cyclones has reached a historical low. Here evidence is pres...

ANZJPH © 2011 Public Health Association of Australia was the causative organism in seven causes, Aeromonas hydrophilia in six and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in one. Cyclone Yasi was the worst storm to hit Far North Queensland in recorded history. Recent weather patterns suggest an increasing freq...

NIST has opened a public competition to develop a new cryptographic hash algorithm, and after the first round various algorithms have emerged as possible candidates. In this work, we have implemented on FPGA two of the candidates from the first round that are not known to be broken at this time, namely, ESSENCE by Jason Worth Martin and ECHO by the Cryptographic Research Group at Orange Labs, F...

The properties of tropical cyclones in three low-resolution atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) in seven ocean basins are discussed. The models are forced by prescribed, observed sea surface temperatures over a period of 40 yr, and their simulations of tropical cyclone activity are compared with observations. The model cyclone characteristics considered include genesis position, numb...

Design and Performance of Passive Control System for Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone Separators by Ram Mohan, Shoubo Wang, & Ovadia Shoham, The University of Tulsa and Gene Kouba, Chevron Petroleum Technology Company Abstract: The performance of Gas Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLCC) separators can be improved by reducing or eliminating liquid carry-over into the gas stream or gas carry-under thr...

Extratropical and tropical transition each represents an end of the tropical cyclone lifecycle. Extratropical transition, along with dissipation, represents the end of the tropical cyclone lifecycle. Conversely, tropical transition represents a unique beginning to the tropical cyclone life cycle. In this lecture, we aim to describe both, focusing primarily on the extratropical transition proces...
