Abstract: The modeling and control of a horizontally slewing inextensible Timoshenko beam, taking into account the centrifugal stiffening effect and a tip payload, are considered. Partial differential ...

Abstract: This paper reports a new approach to understanding membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR). The foulants were categorized into those inside the membrane (internal fouling) and those on the membrane forming the ...

Abstract: Biofilm density, porosity, and thickness are biofilm architecture properties that are important but often difficult to measure. In this study, wet and dry biofilm densities and biofilm porosity in shredded tire biofilters ...

Abstract: The search for sustainable and effective water reclamation technologies has been stimulated by increasingly urgent water scarcity. Graywater (GW) is an excellent potential resource for relieving the water scarcity problem ...

Abstract: The slab track temperature is significant with respect to the safety of the vehicle. The objective of this study was to investigate the cooling effects of solar reflective coatings (SRCs) on slab tracks. Two types of ...
