Abstract: After China became a member of the World Trade Organization, Chinese architectural, engineering, and project management consulting firms faced competition from not only their domestic competitors but also from foreign ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the DirichlettoNeumann map method is employed to compute the band structures of twodimensional phononic crystals with smoothly sliding connection conditions between the matrix and the scatterers, which ...

Abstract: To evaluate the performance of a traffic signal control system quickly and efficiently, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation system of multi-intersection traffic signal is developed. With the hardware-in-the-loop approach, a ...

Abstract: Because of the aggressive and saturated traffic on the current urban arterials, traffic congestion often occurs, traffic lights periodically interrupt traffic, resulting that vehicles frequently block upstream intersections. ...

Abstract: he δ18O and δD of atmospheric water vapor are important tracers in hydrological and ecological studies. Isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (IRIS) provides an in situ technology for measuring δ18O and δD in ambient conditions. ...

Abstract: Quality control of embankment compaction is of great significance to the durability and stability of high-embankment airports. The current method of embankment quality control mainly relies on manual inspection for a limited ...
