Precision Fertilizer and Irrigation Control System Using Open-Source Software and Loose Communication Architecture
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Agricultural fertilization and irrigation are closely related to the problems of agricultural yield, product quality, and environmental pollution. Precision fertilization and irrigation is an effective method to solve this ...
Combining IVUS and Optical Coherence Tomography for More Accurate Coronary Cap Thickness Quantification and Stress/Strain Calculations: A Patient-Specific Three-Dimensional Fluid-Structure Interaction Modeling Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate cap thickness and stress/strain quantifications are of fundamental importance for vulnerable plaque research. Virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) sets cap thickness to zero when cap is under ...
The Multiscale Global Monsoon System: Research and Prediction Challenges in Weather and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Automated Crack Detection and Damage Index Calculation for RC Structures Using Image Analysis and Fractal Dimension
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Damage assessment in postearthquake reconnaissance of civil structures has traditionally relied upon the judgment of experienced site inspectors. In a step toward eliminating the need for on-site inspections, this paper ...
Downstream Water Level Prediction of Reservoir based on Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory Network
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accurate calculation of power generation output is crucial to the operation and management of reservoir. The calculation of power generation output is related to the downstream water level, which usually is obtained by ...
Identifying Flow Patterns in Water Pipelines Using Complex Network Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Air pockets trapped in water pipelines are a common phenomenon and can lead to different air-water two-phase flow patterns: stratified, blowback, plug, and bubbly flows. The two former flows contain a large amount of air ...
Protective Masks Utilizing Nonendangered Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when traditional N95 respirators were in short supply in the United States, there was a need for alternative products that did not rely on traditional avenues of sourcing and ...
Influence of Curb Return and Crosswalk Setback on Turning Driver Decision-Making and Speed Selection
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The location of curb ramps, crosswalk markings, and curb radius are important contributors to pedestrian safety at intersections, particularly for conflicts and crashes involving right turns. Drivers tend to have higher ...
Axial Cyclic and Static Behavior of FRP Composite Seawater–Sea Sand Concrete Piles Ended in a Rock Socket
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pile foundations supporting high-rise buildings are generally subject to cyclic loading because of dynamic loading. The corrosion of steel materials in pile foundations is another major concern, especially for piles in a ...
Shake-Table Experimental Testing and Performance of Topped and Untopped Cross-Laminated Timber Diaphragms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper presents the behavior of floor diaphragms of a shake-table experiment of a full-scale 2-story mass-timber building structure. The structure consists of glued-laminated timber beams and columns, and floors and ...
