Abstract: Some microorganisms with the nitrification function can carry out nitrogen conversion under oxygen-limited conditions. In this study, a continuous-flow biofilm reactor was operated to investigate the removal of ammonium ...

Abstract: Previous earthquake events indicate that pile foundations in liquefiable soils are vulnerable to damage due to the coupling of inertial and kinematic effects. Inclined piles are widely applied in structures located in ...

Abstract: During an earthquake, large movements of soil may cause the instability and uplift of buried structures in liquefied soil. Intensive studies on the uplift behavior of underground structures have mainly focused on a single ...
