TL;DR: In this paper, a good epitaxial relationship between the Zn core and ZnO shell was observed, and misfit dislocations were observed at the interface, which accommodated the relatively large lattice mismatch.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive numerical study of wind effects on the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Council (CAARC) standard tall building is presented, which explores an effective and reliable approach for evaluation of wind effect on tall buildings by CFD techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, a general inflow turbulence generator for numerical simulation of a spatially correlated turbulent flow field is presented, which can strictly guarantee divergence-free condition without any additional improving step and synthetically generate inflows satisfying prescribed spatial anisotropy and correlation conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a new artificial neural network-based response surface method in conjunction with the uniform design method for predicting failure probability of structures is presented, which involves the selection of training datasets for establishing an ANN model, approximation of the limit state function by the trained ANN model and estimation of the failure probability using first-order reliability method (FORM).

TL;DR: Based on 6-year wind data recorded at five meteorological stations with different terrain conditions, the authors presents a statistical analysis of the wind characteristics and wind energy potential at typical sites in Hong Kong by the assistance of Weibull distribution model.
