Simulation of Droplet Position Control in Digital Microfluidic Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Digital microfluidic systems (DMSs) are emerging with high potential to serve as true labs-on-a-chip (LOCs) systems for various chemical and biochemical analyses. Significant research efforts have ...
Condition Assessment of Buried Pipes Using Hierarchical Evidential Reasoning Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective inspection and monitoring practices for the condition assessment of pipes ensure better decision(s) for repair or replacement before they fail. Pipe deterioration is a physical manifestation of the aging process ...
Exploring the Relationship between Soil Properties and Deterioration of Metallic Pipes Using Predictive Data Mining Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Soil corrosivity is considered to be a major factor for the deterioration of metallic water mains. Using a 10-point scoring method as suggested by the American Water Works Association, soil corrosivity potential can be ...
Reliability Assessment for Water Supply Systems under Uncertainties
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reliability assessment of water supply systems (WSSs) is an important aspect of WSS planning and operations. Traditionally, WSS reliability involves the comparison of hydraulics (e.g., pressure or available water volume) ...
