Abstract: This paper presents the latest research findings investigating RC members’ residual load–slip response to combined damage caused by corrosion and fire. The idea is to simulate an accidental fire in old or aging structures ...

Abstract: Friction is a complex phenomenon that arises from the interaction of deforming surface microasperities and adhesive forces at very small length scales. In this work, we use a computational model to understand the effects ...

Abstract: The sludge production and settleability have been estimated experimentally in a completely mixed biofilm-activated sludge reactor (hybrid reactor). A steady-state hybrid reactor was run at different stages of suspended ...

Abstract: A steady state mathematical model is developed for describing the completely mixed biofilm–activated sludge reactor (hybrid reactor). The model is derived by simultaneously considering Monod kinetics expressions and Fickian’s ...

Abstract: In medical world, the minimally invasive freezing therapy or cryosurgery is an efficacious treatment for complete and controlled eradication of tumor cells. Many difficulties are encountered in cryosurgery process such as ...

Abstract: Various authorities and regulating agencies have set standards for deciding the suitability of a water for drinking purposes. These standards prescribe the permissible concentrations of quality variables. When some variables ...

Abstract: Optimum interpolation is a procedure that allows the combination of observations with preliminary trial fields of the same quantities in order to produce an updated field in which the error variance is minimized. In this ...

Abstract: During a water quality survey of the Ganga and Yamuna of the Indogangetic plain, the assimilation of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) after the waste outfalls at the urban centers along these rivers was found to be exceedingly ...
