Identification of Concrete Incompatibilities Using Cement Paste Rheology
(2010-07-14)
The complex interaction between cement and chemical/mineral admixtures in concrete mixtures sometimes leads to unpredictable concrete performance in the field which is generally defined as concrete incompatibilities. Cement ...
UNDERSTANDING FORCES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PROTEIN STABILITY: APPLICATION FOR INCREASING PROTEIN STABILITY
(2010-07-14)
The aim of this study is to further our understanding of the forces that contribute
to protein stability and to investigate how site-directed mutagenesis might be used for
increasing protein stability. Eleven proteins ...
REACTIVE FLOW IN VUGGY CARBONATES: METHODS AND MODELS APPLIED TO MATRIX ACIDIZING OF CARBONATES
(2010-07-14)
Carbonates invariably have small (micron) to large (centimeter) scale
heterogeneities in flow properties that may cause the effects of injected acids to differ
greatly from what is predicted by a model based on a homogenous ...
Superharmonic nonlinear lateral vibrations of a segmented driveline incorporating a tuned damper excited by non-constant velocity joints
(2010-07-14)
Linear vibration measurement and analysis techniques have appeared to be
sufficient with most vibration problems. This is partially due to the lack of proper
identification of physical nonlinear dynamic responses. ...
A Theoretical Approach for the Determination and Mechanistic Interpretation of Radiation D10-value
(2010-07-14)
In the design of the food irradiation process, the knowledge of the radiation resistance of
the target organism in a specific food commodity is required. The D10-value, the radiation dose
needed to inactivate 90% of the ...
Augmenting users' task performance through workspace narrative exploration
(2010-07-14)
In a fast-paced office setting, information workers inevitably experience expected and unexpected interruptions daily. As the volume and the diversity of information and application types grow, the impact of frequent ...
Electrochemical characterization and time-variant structural reliability assessment of post-tensioned, segmental concrete bridges
(2010-07-14)
In post-tensioned (PT) bridges, prestressing steel tendons are the major load carrying
components. These tendons consist of strands, ducts, and cementitious grout that fill the
interstitial space between the strands and ...
The Kitten Shipwreck: Archaeology and Reconstruction of a Black Sea Merchantman
(2010-10-12)
In the early 1980s Bulgarian archaeologists of the newly established Centre for
Underwater Archaeology at Sozopol discovered the remains of a post-medieval ship in
the southern Bay of Kitten, in the lee of Cape Urdoviza. ...
Analysis and Design of Resilient VLSI Circuits
(2010-07-14)
The reliable operation of Integrated Circuits (ICs) has become increasingly difficult to
achieve in the deep sub-micron (DSM) era. With continuously decreasing device feature
sizes, combined with lower supply voltages and ...
Endografts, Pressure, and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2010-07-14)
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are an expansion in diameter of the
abdominal aorta and their rupture is a leading cause of mortality. One of the treatments
for AAA is the implantation of an endograft (also called a stent ...
