Decadal Variation in Raindrop Size Distributions in Busan, Korea by Cheol-Hwan You, Dong-In Lee

“…Annual rainfall amount was higher in 2012 than in 2002, as were the annually averaged Dm (which was 0.1 mm greater in 2012) and the frequency of convective rain. Severe rainfall (greater than 20 mm h−1) occurred more frequently and with a larger Dm in 2012. …”

Squeeze Film Dampers Executing Small Amplitude Circular-Centered Orbits in High-Speed Turbomachinery by Sina Hamzehlouia, Kamran Behdinan

“…The proposed pressure distribution model only accounts for unsteady (temporal) inertia terms, since based on order of magnitude analysis, for small amplitude motions of the journal center, the effect of convective inertia is negligible relative to unsteady (temporal) inertia. …”

Impact of stellar variability on exoplanet detectability and characterisation by Meunier, Nadège

“…Many physical processes indeed affect the radial velocity measurements: they are mostly due to magnetic features (spots and plages), flows (oscillations, granulation, supergranulation, meridional flows), and to the interactions between magnetic fields and flows (inhibition of the convective blueshift in plages). I present in more detail a selection of studies aiming at characterising the impact of stellar variability, in particular the relationship between activity indicators and radial velocities, and then focusing on mass characterisation and detection performance. …”
