A removal of detailed organic matter by photocatalysis was investigated in terms of molecular weight (MW) distribution and fraction (hydrophobic (HP), transphilic (TP) and hydrophilic (HL)). The photooxidation with TiO, ...

This paper outlines the application of the multi-layer perceptron artificial neural network (ANN), ordinary kriging (OK), and inverse distance weighting (IDW) models in the estimation of local scour depth around bridge ...

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) is a light-weight and strong building material. It can provide good insulation for heat and sound, and is good for fireproofing and waterproofing. In this paper, major mechanicalbehavior ...

Cellular biomechanics is an area of study that is receiving more attention as time progresses. The response of cells to their mechanical environment, including biomechanical stimuli, has far-reaching ramifications for the ...

Automatic identification of endocardial and epicardial boundaries of LV has been a focus of research attention in the development of computational methods and computer support for cardiologists in identifying clinical ...

By promoting and applying ecologically sustainable design (ecodesign) strategies in the product planning stage, industrial designers can have significant influence on reducing the environmental impacts of products. Despite ...

In this paper, a new encoding scheme is presented for learning the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model from data by genetic algorithms (GAs). In the proposed encoding scheme, the rule structure ( selection of rules and number ...

Gold is widely used in nanotechnology, for example as a substrate in forming self-assembled monolayers or as nanoparticles for their unique optical and chemical properties. In this paper we give an overview of the ...

Cement stabilized earth blocks can be considered as an ideal alternative to burnt clay bricks or cement sand blocks since it uses the earth which is generally available as laterite hills in tropical environments as the ...
