Abstract: Planar SOFC stack technology based on a unique concept (SOFConnex™) uses structured gas distribution layers between unprofiled metal sheet interconnects and thin Ni-YSZ anode supported electrolyte ...

Abstract: Solar ultraviolet (UV) photocatalyzed oxidation of chemicals with titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) has received considerable attention. Much less recognized, however, is the ability of the same system ...

Abstract: The negative effects of urbanization on water quantity and quality and the performance of bioretention for treating runoff and reducing concentrations and loads of sediment, nutrients, pathogens, and selected trace metals ...

Abstract: Quadruped robots have good mobility and agility in complex environments, but dynamic control of locomotion for quadruped robots has long been a big challenge for researchers. In this paper, we build the center of inertia ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to characterize the rheological properties and aging mechanism of asphalt binders blended with high percentages of biobinders using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The petroleum ...

Abstract: Hydrogen is often considered to be the ultimate energy source for vehicles. However, if hydrogen is to fuel practical vehicles, then the development of fuel cell and hydrogen fueled engine ...

Abstract: The uniaxial deformation of an elastic-plastic medium containing a doubly periodic square array of circular cylindrical voids is studied under plane-strain conditions. Both the effects of geometrical ...

Abstract: An inequality is described which allows the evaluation of upper bounds to the displacement of an elastic/perfectly plastic structure subject to variable loading. Simple examples indicate that ...

Abstract: In the production of conventional paving blocks, it is usual to use a minimum of
