Study of Tourism Economic Resilience Evaluation and Governance Model of Island Cities under Uncertain Environments: A Case Study of Hainan Island, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the face of uncertain development scenarios, this study aims to investigate the resilience of urban tourism economies, focusing specifically on island destinations like Hainan Island with limited internal resources. ...
Organo-Illite as a Low Permeability Sorbent to Retard Migration of Anionic Contaminants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Landfill leachate, often having high concentrations of metal cations, anions, and organic compounds, presents a great threat to nearby groundwater. Due to negative charges on soil particles, regular clay liners cannot ...
Improved Method for Estimating the Ocean Tide Loading Displacement Parameters by GNSS Precise Point Positioning and Harmonic Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Site displacements caused by ocean tide loading (OTL) can reach more than several centimeters vertically, particularly in coastal regions. An ocean tide model typically is used to correct OTL effects, but these model ...
New Cone-Rolling Principle and Its Application for the Underactuated Attitude Maneuver Optimization of a Rigid Body
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The global optimal solution for the underactuated attitude maneuver plays a significant role in the fields of spacecraft, robotics, and mechanics. This paper investigated the global optimal underactuated attitude maneuver ...
Roles of Atmospheric Variability and Arctic Sea Ice in the Asymmetric Arctic–Eurasia Temperature Connection on Subseasonal Time Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Despite the severe impacts on Eurasian extreme weather, the mechanisms and causes of the “warm Arctic–cold Eurasia” (WACE) pattern and its opposite phase “cold Arctic–warm Eurasia” (CAWE) remain a subject of active debate. ...
Reliability Analysis of Single Pile in Spatially Variable Soil Based on Variance Reduction Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soil has spatial variability, which means that soil properties at different locations are different but correlated. To represent the spatial variability of soil surrounding a pile, the random field method (RFM) is usually ...
Impact of Lower Protective Coal Seam Mining on Overlying Strata: Deformation, Pressure Relief, and Permeability Enhancement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study focuses on the issue of gas overflow encountered during the mining of coal seams at the Anshun coal mine. Initially, a mechanical model is constructed to analyze the displacement and vertical stress distribution ...
Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Pelleting of Cellulosic Biomass for Biofuel Manufacturing: A Study on Pellet Cracks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biofuels produced from cellulosic biomass are an alternative to petroleum-based liquid transportation fuels. The costs of cellulosic biofuel manufacturing are high partly due to the low density ...
Size Reduction of Cellulosic Biomass in Biofuel Manufacturing: A Study on Confounding Effects of Particle Size and Biomass Crystallinity
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biofuels derived from cellulosic biomass offer an alternative to petroleum-based liquid transportation fuels. In order to convert cellulosic biomass into biofuels, size reduction is a necessary ...
