Concrete, known for its high strength, durability, and flexibility, is a core material in construction. However, defects such as voids and honeycombing often occur due to improper pouring or vibration, weakening the concrete’s strength and affe...

The valorization of agricultural residues assumes a pivotal position in the circular economy by transforming waste into a useful and environmentally friendly product, with the cultivation of corn, as one of the world’s predominant crops, being...

This study proposes a novel modelling approach that integrates mutual information (MI)-based parameter screening with random forest (RF) modelling to achieve an accurate quantitative prediction of surface hardness and impact energy in two martensitic...

This study examines the impact of aging at 600 °C on the tensile properties of 0.3NbFeCrAl alloy at various temperatures, including room temperature (RT), 300 °C, 350 °C, and 400 °C, as well as the corresponding changes in microstruct...

Textile fibers are an essential component of daily necessities and are often used as forensic evidence, making their characterization crucial in forensic science. Different types of textile fibers can be identified using their unique Raman spectral c...

In order to study the diffusion and sealing mechanism of an innovative grouted material tentatively called “expandable particulate grout material”, the diffusion process was simulated by the numerical method of CFD-DEM coupling. A numeric...

Chloroderivatives of phenoxyacetic acid are a group of compounds commonly used as plant protection products. Differences in the molecular structure of these compounds are related to varying substitution and the number of chlorine atoms in the aromati...

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) has emerged as one of the most widely adopted additive manufacturing (AM) technologies due to its broad material availability and low production costs, enabling the efficient production of complex geometries and custom...

An assembly of fourth-century BCE Samarian silver coins and late-fifth-century BCE Samarian cut silver sheets, Sidonian and Philistian coins from a hacksilber hoard allegedly found in the region of Samaria belonging to the David and Jemima Jeselsohn...

Steel frame infilled with composite plate shear wall (SF-CPSW) is an effective structure for lateral-load resisting. In the structural design, the vertical loads are primarily carried by the boundary SF, while the horizontal loads are expected to be...
