Abstract: Spine degeneration is a pathology that will affect 80% of the population. Since the intervertebral disks play an important role in transmitting loads through the spine, the aim of this study ...

Abstract: Centrifugal pumps, consisting of an inducer and impeller, are used in various industries such as marine, aerospace, and nuclear. Typically, inducers and impellers in centrifugal pumps are fixed on the same shaft, having ...

Abstract: The structural behavior of steel tied-arch bridges is determined by the presence of a large compressive force. As a consequence, slender steel arches are highly sensitive to in-plane as well as out-of-plane buckling. At ...

Abstract: This study aims to improve a decontamination process developed for chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood waste. This process included metal extraction from the wood by a sulphuric acid-leaching step, and the treatment ...

Abstract: key remaining challenge in oceanography is the understanding and parameterization of small-scale mixing. Evidence suggests that topographic features play a significant role in enhancing mixing in the Southern Ocean. This ...

Abstract: n the stratified ocean, turbulent mixing is primarily attributed to the breaking of internal waves. As such, internal waves provide a link between large-scale forcing and small-scale mixing. The internal wave field north ...

Abstract: ridded climate datasets are produced in many parts of the world by applying various interpolation methods to weather observations, to which are sometimes added secondary information (in addition to geographic location) ...
