Abstract: Based on the district-level data for Shanghai, China, from 2004 to 2015, the factors that influence residential land leasing by the district government and residential land leasing price under public land ownership will ...

Abstract: Due to the limited temperature resistance, the deep conformance control technology of using the conventional hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) gel failed to enhance oil recovery in high-temperature heterogeneous oil reservoirs. ...

Abstract: This study aims to perform a comprehensive trend analysis of precipitation and streamflow at the watershed scale. Multiple techniques were employed to examine the temporal trends in annual, seasonal, and monthly precipitation ...

Abstract: The progressive optimality algorithm (POA) is commonly used to identify optimal hydropower operation schedules in China. However, POA may not converge within a reasonable time for large and complex problems because its ...

Abstract: The meshfree edge-based smoothed point interpolation method (ES-PIM) is extended to the simulation of transient heat transfer problems for concrete dams in the construction process. The present ES-PIM consists of the ...

Abstract: The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as piling materials in harsh environments has gained popularity due to their high corrosion resistance. FRP composites can be fabricated using different types ...

Abstract: To examine the characteristics of future precipitation under climate change is of great significance to urban water security. In this paper, multiple machine learning techniques, i.e., statistical downscaling model ...

Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete tubular columns have been extensively studied, where the design of the column is usually based on stiffness and strength. The ability to sustain large deformations without ...
