Brane Gas Cosmology, M-theory and Little String Theory [PDF]
We generalize the Brane Gas Cosmological Scenario to M-theory degrees of freedom, namely $M5$ and $M2$ branes. Without brane intersections, the Brandenberger Vafa(BV) arguments applied to M-theory degrees of freedom generically predict a large 6 ...

A Simple Method for Converting 1-km Resolution Daily Clear-Sky LST into Real LST [PDF]
Land-surface temperature (LST) plays a key role in the physical processes of surface energy and water balance from local through global scales. The widely used one kilometre resolution daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST product has missing values due to the influence of clouds.

Gap-Free LST Generation for MODIS/Terra LST Product Using a Random Forest-Based Reconstruction Method [PDF]
Land surface temperature (LST) is a crucial input parameter in the study of land surface water and energy budgets at local and global scales. Because of cloud obstruction, there are many gaps in thermal infrared remote sensing LST products. To fill these gaps, an improved LST reconstruction method for cloud-covered pixels was proposed by building a ...

Determination of stress concentration factors in offshore wind welded structures through a hybrid experimental and numerical approach [PDF]
Offshore wind turbine (OWT) monopile support structures generally consist of steel cans connected together through circumferential welding joints. One critical factor to evaluate the localised increase in stresses is the stress concentration factor (SCF)
