Abstract: Knowledge of air flow patterns and thermal parameters are essential in the design of a ventilation system for large enclosures. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of ...

Abstract: Stress analysis of anisotropic layers under various loading conditions is of interest in the mechanics of composites or geomechanics. In an attempt to develop an efficient numerical approach for such an analysis, a solution ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a three-dimensional numerical model to study the distributions of indoor air velocity, air temperature, contaminant concentration, and ventilation effectiveness ...

Abstract: The mechanical properties of SiC films grown via C60 precursors were determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Conventional silicon nitride and diamond-tipped steel AFM cantilevers were ...

Abstract: Effect of water table depth and rainfall timing on bromide and nitrate transport was investigated using large undisturbed columns (30 cm in diameter and 90 cm long) obtained from Rossburg silt loam and Clermont silt loam ...

Abstract: Rainfall-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) is a major issue causing surcharge flows in many municipal sanitary sewer systems. This paper demonstrates a statistical method for characterizing the rainfall-derived inflow ...

Abstract: X-ray mammography has been used in the early detection of breast tumors for decades. Related techniques to enhance preventive screenings are still demanding. Since the 1990s, near infrared diffuse ...

Abstract: This study aims at developing an optical measurement instrument to implement a diffuse optical imaging system that is incorporated with the X-ray mammogram for the purpose of obtaining functional ...
