Ventilation and pollutant dispersion in a group of courtyard buildings with a diagonal wind [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe urban built environment strongly modifies the wind flows and, consequently, can cause heat and pollutant accumulation. The former contributes to generate the Urban Heat Island phenomenon, the latter to the increase in health issues recorded in the ...

Unifying Speed-Accuracy Trade-Off and Cost-Benefit Trade-Off in Human Reaching Movements
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Two basic trade-offs interact while our brain decides how to move our body. First, with the cost-benefit trade-off, the brain trades between the importance of moving faster toward a target that is more rewarding and the increased muscular cost resulting ...

Water Dispersion by Hitting the Ribbed and Rounded Surfaces at the Low-Head Outflow Through a Small Hole [PDF]
Research Bulletin of the National Technical University of Ukraine "Kyiv Politechnic Institute", 2017 Background. Low-pressure water spray by impact on a hard surface is convenient for crystallization of water on vertical surfaces and horizontal nozzles with icicles. In the previous works of the author, it was noticed the effect of an impact surface roughness on spray flow hydrodynamics, therefore, in this paper we investigate the effect of surface ...

Dispersion characteristics of radioactive materials estimated by wind patterns
Scientific Reports, 2018 The radioactive materials are generally concentrated downwind of their origins when the prevailing winds blow continuously in one direction. If this principle determined the pattern of dispersion in all cases, dispersion directions could be estimated by ...
