Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and ManufacturingIt is well known that the belt moves laterally in a two-roller belt system with in-plane misalignment. Although there are many studies on this behavior, there is no literature that studied the quantitative relationship between the lateral motion of the ...

Seasonal to multidecadal variability of the width of the tropical belt [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research D: Atmospheres, 2013 An expansion of the tropical belt has been extensively reported in observations, reanalyses, and climate model simulations, but there is a great deal of uncertainty in estimates of the rate of widening as different diagnostics give a wide range of results.

The changing width of Earth’s tropical belt [PDF]
Physics Today, 2014 The belt emerges as a fundamental climatic feature of atmospheric circulation patterns on a rotating and differentially heated planet. But locating its edges and discerning anthropogenic influences remain difficult research problems.

Width evolution of channel belts as a random walk [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsChannel belts form through the mobilization and deposition of sediments during the lateral migration of rivers. Channel-belt width and its temporal evolution are important for the hydraulics, hydrology, and ecology of landscapes, as well as for human ...

Adaptive mediolateral control during split‐belt walking: Energetics of interlimb coordination and enhanced savings following acute intermittent hypoxia [PDF]
Experimental PhysiologyControl of frontal plane mechanics requires active integration of sensory feedback to regulate stability in response to gait perturbations, such as split‐belt walking (SBW).

Tropical Belt Width Proportionately More Sensitive to Aerosols Than Greenhouse Gases [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Abstract The tropical belt has widened during the last several decades, and both internal variability and anthropogenic forcings have contributed. Although greenhouse gases and stratospheric ozone depletion have been implicated as primary anthropogenic drivers of tropical expansion, the possible role of other drivers remains uncertain.

Effects of the PDO Phase on the Tropical Belt Width
Journal of Climate, 2012 Recent studies have shown that the tropical belt (TB) has progressively expanded since at least the late 1970s. This trend has been largely attributed to the radiative forcing due to greenhouse gas (GHG) increase and stratospheric ozone depletion, even if an influence of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies has been also suggested.

Climate Model Biases in the Width of the Tropical Belt
Journal of Climate, 2016 Abstract Earth’s arid subtropics are situated at the edges of the tropical belt, which encircles the planet along the equator and covers half of its surface area. The climate of the tropical belt is strongly influenced by the Hadley cells, with their subsidence and easterly trade winds both sustaining the aridity at the belt’s edges. The

Simulation Analysis of the Influence Law of Belt Width on the Noise of Automotive Synchronous Belt
Jixie chuandong, 2017 Taking the ZA automotive synchronous belts that the belt width is 19 mm and 25 mm as research object,the influence of the belt width on the vibration and noise of the automotive synchronous belt is analyzed in theory.

Monitoring the width of the tropical belt with GPS radio occultation measurements [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2013 GPS radio occultation data collected over the period 2002–2011 were analyzed to examine the possible expansion of the tropical belt due to climate change. By the use of high vertical‐resolution temperature profiles, monthly averages of the lapse rate tropopause were obtained and used to derive a decade‐long time series of the tropical edge latitude ...
