Freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) and steel bar corrosion (SBC) are the most common service
conditions of hydraulic concrete and have significant impacts on its durability. Using pullout and …

This study applies an improved particle swarm optimization (IEPSO) algorithm to optimize the
structural design parameters of a binocular detection system. First, the mathematical model …

Activation energy is obtained from temperature dependence of viscosities by means of a fitting
to the Arrhenius equation for liquid alloys of Cu–Sb, Cu–Te, Cu–Sn and Cu–Ag systems. …

The devolatilization characteristics of biomass (wheat straw, coconut shell, rice husk and cotton
stalk) during flash pyrolysis has been investigated on a plasma heated laminar entrained …

Measuring the water content of slopes is essential because the distribution and migration of
water within slopes are important factors of landslide instability. In this study, the relationship …

Organosilicon compounds are important monomers and useful organic molecules in many
materials, and are widely used synthetic intermediates in chemical synthesis. Therefore, …

In order to study the volatilization characteristics of biomass particles at flash heating rates,
a plasma heated laminar entrained flow reactor (PHLEFR) was designed and built in our lab. …
