Abstract: Background: Restenosis after stent implantation varies with stent design. Alterations in secondary flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS) can modulate intimal hyperplasia via their effects on ...

Abstract: Full-depth lock-exchange experiments of saltwater with a lock length x0 of 40 m were conducted in a horizontal open channel in order to gain insight into the gravity currents of long lock releases. Without the effects ...

Abstract: A new type of slope-stabilization structure has been developed in recent years, which uses a grouted pipe pile group and pile-head connection beams to form a pile-soil frame structure. In this research, field lateral loading ...

Abstract: ogether with economic development and accelerated urbanization, the urban population in China has been increasing rapidly, and anthropogenic heat released by large-scale energy consumption in cities is expected to be a ...

Abstract: Pile-soil interaction in an expansive soil foundation has been primarily analyzed by an analytical solution in our previous study. As a complementary work, this paper briefly reviews the derivation process in more detail ...

Abstract: Biotreatment of heavy metals in acid mine drainage (AMD) with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is considered the most promising technique in the ecological restoration of mines. In the present work, the authors evaluated ...
