Abstract: The viscosity of ferrofluid has a vital role in liquid sealing of the hard disk drives, biomedical applications as drug delivery, hyperthermia, and magnetic resonance imaging. The theoretical expressions for ferrofluid ...

Abstract: Sorption and extractability of naphthol and naphthol polymerization products (NPP) were evaluated in two surface soils. NPP were generated by the addition of horseradish peroxidase and

Abstract: Information on the spatial and temporal variability of rain rate is important not only for meteorology and hydrology but also for the design of remote sensing and in situ measuring or of millimeter wave communication ...

Abstract: Disparities in worker risk tolerance may create barriers to implementing safety management systems and improving safety performance. At present, it is unclear if and to what extent construction safety risk tolerance vary ...

Abstract: Construction risk management processes necessarily rely on subjective assessments and heuristic rules. Historic data are desirable, but rarely are available due to the unique nature of individual construction project and ...

Abstract: In construction engineering and management (CEM) research, conducting field studies often is infeasible because of resource constraints, limited access to sites, practicality, confounding factors, and ethical limitations. ...

Abstract: Abstract. Narrowing of the internal carotid artery (ICA), known as stenosis, can significantly alter normal blood flow and increase the likelihood of cerebrovascular complications such as ischemic stroke. This study presents ...

Abstract: To fully exploit the structural potential of prestressed masonry in flexure, it is essential to know its postcracking behavior. For this, a nonlinear finite element model has been developed to predict the complete response ...
