Abstract: Experiments were carried out to determine the pressure drop through an annular conduit filled with a plain square wire-mesh woven-screen matrix. The tests involved turbulent fully developed flow ...

Abstract: Treadmill training is a common intervention to promote healthy walking function for individuals with pathological gait. However, because of the heterogeneity of many patient populations, determining how an individual will ...

Abstract: Although historically grown as independent energy technologies, fuel cell and cogeneration may adequately work to each other’s benefit. Some fuel cells deliver heat at sufficiently high temperatures, ...

Abstract: Modern installation techniques for marine pipelines and subsea risers are often based on the reellay method, which introduces significant (plastic) strains on the pipe during reeling and unreeling. The safe assessment of ...

Abstract: he study analyzes the sensitivity and memory of the Southern Hemisphere coupled climate system to increased Antarctic sea ice (ASI), taking into account the persistence of the sea ice maxima in the current climate. The ...

Abstract: To more closely mimic overground walking, researchers are developing adaptive treadmills (ATMs) that update belt speed in real-time based on user gait mechanics. Many existing ATM control schemes are solely based on position ...

Abstract: The stability of shallow, artificial underground cavities in soft rocks interacting with overlying structures and infrastructures represents a challenging problem to be faced. This paper discusses a methodology that can ...
