Abstract: Enhancing workplace safety continues to be a major task in the construction industry. Approximately 75% of struck-by fatalities are caused by inappropriate spatial-temporal relationships between construction workers and ...

Abstract: fast and flexible model is developed to simulate the transfer of thermal infrared radiation at wavenumbers from 700 to 1300 cm?1 with a spectral resolution of 0.1 cm?1 for scattering?absorbing atmospheres. In a single run ...

Abstract: AbstractIn intelligent transportation systems, object counting is a crucial component of traffic scene perception. The traffic scene always has the properties of strong perspective effects and uneven density distribution, ...

Abstract: AbstractInterannual variability of air?sea CO2 exchange is an important metric that represents the interaction between the carbon cycle and climate change. Although previous studies report a large bias in the CO2 flux ...

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of nonuniform assembly forces on the mass transfer characteristics of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Initially, utilizing a solid mechanics model, the influence of assembly forces ...

Abstract: AbstractPumping events can cause air pressure fluctuations in sanitary sewers and lead to air ventilation through openings. In this study, field measurement of air flow was conducted in a sewer system downstream of a pump ...

Abstract: Abstract Reliable paratransit services are essential for urban mobility, particularly for individuals with disabilities who depend on demand-responsive transportation. However, service inefficiencies in urban paratransit ...

Abstract: By using both the pseudoelasticity and strain self-sensing ability of shape memory alloy (SMA) material, an innovative smart SMA-based damper can be developed. This damper has comprehensive energy dissipation and strain ...
