Abstract: In this study, we explore the use of sulfonated poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) (SIBS) polymer membranes for the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) in surface waters, ...

Abstract: Aging steam generator tubes have been experiencing a variety of degradations such as pitting, fretting wear, erosion-corrosion, thinning, cracking, and denting. To assist with steam generator life ...

Abstract: Visualization of the flow structure generated by passive vortex generators continues to be a matter of research in the fluid mechanics and heat transfer communities. In this study, selfsustaining counterrotating vortex ...

Abstract: Recently, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems have become widely used in agricultural applications, particularly in conjunction with irrigation management systems that require calculated applications ...

Abstract: Floods in both riverine and coastal zones can cause significant damage to infrastructure, including possible structural failure of buildings. Methodologies commonly used to estimate flood damage to buildings are typically ...

Abstract: An experimental and numerical investigation was carried out to explore the effects of four vortex generators (VG) on the onset of flow instabilities, the paths and characteristics of the induced coherent counter-rotating ...

Abstract: ry conditions in 2013?16 in much of the western United States were responsible for severe drought and led to an exceptional fire season in the Pacific Northwest in 2015. Winter 2015/16 was forecasted to relieve drought in ...
