Abstract: Cultural factors are unavoidable in the infrastructure construction process, and understanding relationships between culture and infrastructure sustainability (IS) will help increase IS levels. A qualitative comparative ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical analysis of the nonlinear interaction between water waves and the movable superstructure of a coastal bridge. An improved mesh update method is used to dynamically configure the computational ...

Abstract: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the major regulated pollutant of landfill leachate in solid waste management industries. Recently, aged-refuse bioreactor (ARB) has received increasing attention for reduction of DOM from ...

Abstract: How to directly relate frictions at the level of a single molecular chain to the viscoelasticity of soft materials is intriguing. Here, we choose to investigate classical elastomers, where molecular frictions are known to ...
