Abstract: This study investigated the transient and steady-state performance of a bench-scale biotrickling filter for the removal of an organic mixture (acetone, toluene, and trichloroethylene) typically emitted by the microelectronics ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed on a model rotor test rig with a disk located at the mide-span and a squeeze film damper and/or flexible support at one end and a rigid support at the other end. ...

Abstract: Application of nonlinear behavior laws is relatively complicated and difficult to master because of the unique configurations of special-shaped arch bridges. In this study, a self-compiled program is used to analyze the ...

Abstract: Given the unique pattern of butterfly-shaped arch bridges, the nonlinear behavior rules of the main girders are difficult to determined compared with those of ordinary arch bridges. The traditional design method that does ...

Abstract: In this paper, a probabilistic framework for constructing a dynamic modified model for RC columns was developed based on dynamic loading test results and the Bayesian updating method. The influences of strain rate on the ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is the documentation of stormwater quality of vegetated roadsides of two Texas highways (State Highway 6 in College Station and Loop 360 in Austin), both of which had high average daily ...

Abstract: A fivefold increase in adhesion energy is observed for poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) modified Cu/TaN interfaces in which the thin copper films are deposited by the hydrogen assisted reduction of ...

Abstract: The close phylogenetic relationship between humans and nonhuman primates makes nonhuman primates an irreplaceable model for the study of human infectious diseases. In this study, we describe the ...
