Abstract: Inadequate skid resistance of pavement surface is a substantial reason for traffic accidents. There is a close relationship between sliding resistance and characteristics of texture morphology, demanding high precision and ...

Abstract: Falling film type condensers/reboilers applied to cryogenic air separation units (ASUs) have drawn more attentions in recent years. This paper presents and analyzes a mathematical model for the falling film platefin ...

Abstract: Investment estimation is a key component of early decision-making for a construction project, which is crucial to the project cost control. Currently, most investment estimation researches render the point value results, ...

Abstract: Due to variations in freight traffic arising in daily operations, railways need to develop a distribution plan to determine the actual movements of empty cars every day. This paper investigates the daily empty car distribution ...

Abstract: Air pollution and carbon emissions are highly homogeneous and closely correlated. The cobenefit and spillover effects of environmental policies have garnered increasing attention in recent years. This study adopts low-carbon ...

Abstract: Over the past few decades, depleting energy resources has become a primary concern pertaining to the sustainability of our planet. In addition, climate change and its cascading effects are showing up in the form of extreme, ...

Abstract: Volume expansion can occur in overconsolidated clay during shear loading and heating. However, the volume expansion mechanisms driving these two phenomena are different from each other, and it is important to propose a ...
