The problem of temporal community detection is discussed in this paper. Main existing methods are either structure-based or incremental analysis. The difficulty of the former is to select a suitable time window. The latter needs to know the initial s...

In the current design method of the eccentrically braced frame structure, the energy dissipation link and the frame beam are both designed as a whole. It is difficult to accurately assess the degree of damage through this method, and it is also hard...

Microbial Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) via urea hydrolysis is an emerging sustainable technology that provides solutions for numerous environmental and engineering problems in a vast range of disciplines. Attention has now been given to the...

Refrigeration oil has a large effect on the performance of refrigeration systems. However, the physical and chemical indexes of fresh refrigeration oils often fail to reflect the actual operating characteristics, especially with respect to the degrad...

The entanglement phenomenon plays a central role in quantum optics and in basic aspects of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. We review the dissipative quantum model of brain and the role of the entanglement in the brain-mind activity correl...

In this paper, both experimental tests and numerical simulations of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) laminated glass pane under low-speed impact were carried out. In order to accurately predict the responses of annealed glass under low-speed impact, a constit...

Shale and fractured cores often exhibit dual-continuum medium characteristics in pulse decay testing. Dual-continuum medium models can be composed of different flow paths, interporosity flow patterns, and matrix shapes. Various dual-continuum medium...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of novel nonwoven textile filter technology for greywater treatment. This technology had already been used on a lab scale for septic tank effluent treatment; however, this study is the first t...

Steelmaking industries produce a large amount of solid wastes that need to be adequately managed in order to ensure environmental sustainability and reduce the impact of their disposal on earth pollution. Electric arc furnace (EAF) slags are those wa...

Changes in renal dimensions, including total kidney volume, not only inform ongoing renal disease but also disease progression. Determination of renal dimensions can inform drug efficacy, is important for matching recipients with potential donors, an...
