Capability delivery with fog of emergence
A proposed capability delivery ontology with fog of emergence provides a language construct to relate how the processes and parts of a notional capability delivery system incrementally produce and refine a capability through well-known life cycle phases. The natural propensity for capability …

Sichuan fog -- architecture and moisture
This thesis is sited in Chongqing city, the "Fog Capital" of China. Surrounded by the nearby mountains of the Sichuan Basin, the city experiences year-long cloudiness as a result of temperature inversion caused by the basin's convective layer being capped by a layer of air moving east across the …

Fog Harvesting: Inspired by Spider Silk
… world. One proposed solution that has drawn lots of attention is fog harvesting. A commonly used fog collector is a vertical mesh, usually made of poly materials. Small water droplets can easily get pinned and quick evaporation is the major common challenge for vertical meshes. Coating the fog …

Fog Harps: Elastocapillarity, Droplet Dynamics, and Optimization
Fog harvesting is emerging as a promising means to ease the water shortage crisis in arid regions of the world with ample fog. The current state-of-the-art for fog harvesting is mesh netting, which is accessible yet struggles from a dual constraint: a course mesh lets most microscopic fog droplets …

Characteristics of Yellow Sea Fog Under Varying Aerosol Conditions
Sea fog usually refers to a fog that occurs under the influence of the ocean, and the Yellow Sea is a region where sea fog regularly occurs. Fog occurrence and structure is impacted by aerosol concentration in the air where the fog forms. Along with industrial development, air pollution, and thus …

Fog Tropes: A social and cultural history of the foghorn
This thesis considers the interconnectedness of sound (the foghorn), weather (fog) and place (the coast) through interrogating the foghorn’s role as a sonic marker along British coastlines, from the end of the 19th century to its decline a century later. Foghorns are the sonic equivalent to the …
