Abstract: This paper investigates sustainability in building projects from a whole life project management perspective. The objective of the research is to identify unique features of whole life project management and their relationship ...

Abstract: Substantial model biases are still prominent even in the latest CMIP6 simulations; attributing their causes is defined as one of the three main scientific questions addressed in CMIP6. In this paper, cold temperature biases ...

Abstract: Cooling of an array of parallel foil strips stretched on the wall of a narrow rectangular channel to the flow of fluorinert FX3250 is studied experimentally. The coolant is injected in planar ...

Abstract: The consensus degree among vehicles is an important index to measure the cooperative driving system. First, this paper establishes a measurement method of the instantaneous consensus of an individual vehicle to evaluate ...

Abstract: Emerging digital technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have been widely adopted in construction projects and have attracted great attention from researchers and practitioners ...

Abstract: Experimental testing revealed that installing concealed vertical slits in reinforced concrete (RC) infill walls enabled the RC infill walls to behave in a more ductile manner (as compared to conventional solid RC walls), ...

Abstract: The pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) are often blocked in actual operation. As the PIG ran in the straight pipeline, elbow, and anomaly, the large deformation and stress state of the power section cup were analyzed by a ...

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance has become a major global challenge in recent years. Abusing and misusing antibiotics leads to the widespread spread of resistance genes in the water environment, which poses great challenges to ...
