Abstract: A study was made of the corrosion of prestressing steel in bridge components exposed to a marine environment using analytical procedures and available techniques developed for conventional reinforced concrete structures. ...

Abstract: The total maximum daily load (TMDL) approaches that have relied mostly on deterministic modeling have inherent problems with considerations of a margin of safety and estimating probabilities of excursions of water quality ...

Abstract: Transition processes in the SISO system incorporating an observer in the control loop are discussed. The symmetry of the transition matrix with respect to the eigenvalues assigned for the ...

Abstract: Stabilization of linear systems by state feedback is an important problem of the controller design. The design of observers with appropriate error dynamics is a dual problem. This duality leads, ...

Abstract: There is continuing interest in Member States in the development and application of small and medium sized reactors (SMRs), i.e., the reactors with an equivalent electric power of less than ...

Abstract: This paper provides a brief review of recent results on decoupling of fast [inertia?gravity wave (IGW)] and slow (vortex) motions at small Rossby numbers obtained in the framework of the geostrophic adjustment of localized ...

Abstract: Slow steaming and regulatory drive toward more energy efficient ships have raised a problem of ensuring sufficient maneuverability of ships under adverse weather conditions when installed power is reduced. This paper ...
