Image Processing and Cell Phone Microscopy to Analyze the Immunomagnetic Beads on Micro-Contact Printed Gratings
(MDPI AG, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2016)
In this paper we report an ultra-low-cost spherical ball lens based cell phone microscopy and image processing algorithms to analyze the amount of immunomagnetic beads on micro-contact printed gratings. The spherical ball ...
Investigation of the Sloshing Behavior Due to Seismic Excitations Considering Two-Way Coupling of the Fluid and the Structure
(MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2019)
Sloshing behavior due to near-fault type and earthquake excitations of a fluid in a tank having a highly deformable elastic structure in the middle was investigated experimentally and numerically in this paper. In the ...
Overlooked Strategies in Exploitation of Microorganisms in the Field of Building Materials
(SPRINGER-VERLAG SINGAPORE PTE LTD, 152 BEACH ROAD, #21-01/04 GATEWAY EAST, SINGAPORE, 189721, SINGAPORE, 01.09.2019)
Resource efficiency reports released in the last decade point out construction industry as one of the key sectors that needs improvement in terms of ecological sensitivity. Being aware of this unfavorable reputation of ...
Evaluation of Deformation Behavior of Sand-Clay Mixture under Traffic Loads
(AMER SOC CIVIL ENGINEERS, UNITED ENGINEERING CENTER, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017-2398 USA, 2020)
Vehicle traffic loading induces a heart-shaped stress path in deviatoric stress space [tau z theta to (sigma(z)-sigma(theta))/2], causing the rotation of principal stress direction acting on a soil element. A conventional ...
Surface coating of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes with zwitterionic 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-l-alanine (l-DOPA) for forward osmosis
(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ USA, 2020)
To overcome low permeability and fouling problems of membranes used in FO processes, modification is needed to improve the hydrophilicity, permeability and selectivity of membranes. In this work, thin film composite (TFC) ...
The seismic behaviour of RC exterior shear walls used for strengthening of intact and damaged frames
(SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2020)
Several strengthening techniques such as steel plate bonding, external post-tensioning, steel bracing, or addition of new structural elements have been widely used to improve the seismic behaviour of structures, which ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of hyper-elastic submerged structures strengthened with cable under seismic excitations
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OR14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2020)
This study presents dynamic responses of submerged highly elastic structures, strengthened with cable elements and the fluid interacting with the structure. For this purpose, fluid and structure are modelled with smoothed ...
A Comparative Study on the VS30 and N-30 Based Seismic Site Classification in Kahramanmaras, Turkey
(HINDAWI LTD, ADAM HOUSE, 3RD FLR, 1 FITZROY SQ, LONDON, W1T 5HF, ENGLAND, 2020)
Assessment of seismic site classification (SSC) using either the average shear wave velocity (V-S30) or the average SPT-N values (N-30) for upper 30 m in soils is the simplest method to carry out various studies including ...
Hydro-elastic analysis of standing submerged structures under seismic excitations with SPH-FEM approach
(LATIN AMER J SOLIDS STRUCTURES, UNIV SAO PAULO, GROUP SOLID MECHANICS & STRUCTURAL IMPACT, SAO PAULO, 05508-900, BRAZIL, 2020)
In this paper, a fully coupled fluid structure interaction (FSI) method is used to investigate the hydro-elastic response of a fully submerged standing structure under seismic excitations. Two different domains (solid and ...
Life cycle assessment of lightweight concrete containing recycled plastics and fly ash
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OR14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2020)
Researchers put significant effort to decrease the environmental impact of concrete by using industrial by-products as an alternative binder. However, the considerable environmental impact still exists due to the consumption ...
