Alongside volcanic eruptions in the middle and late Permian, the sedimentary environment and process changed, and the lithofacies characteristics varied conspicuously in the marine deposits of the Sichuan Basin (China). The tuffaceous rocks, as a new...

The purpose of the software development presented in the article is to obtain detailed information about the surface of the walls in wells necessary for more efficient and safe drilling and casing of the wellbore. The developed software of the automa...

After the severe industrial pollution from World War II, the Setouchi Sea areas and its islands (the Triennale hosting areas) experienced severe economic and population shrinkage. The target of SDG 8.9 is to promote “direct tourism GDP” a...

Upper respiratory infections (URI) are the most frequent illnesses, especially in children. The majority of those infections are prescribed broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are associated with various side effects and with the increase in multi-drug...

In this study, we employ the novel method of quantile mediation analysis to explore dynamic relationships among hydropower energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emissions in Taiwan during the period between 1990 and 2020. The empiri...

For nearly three decades, zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been used in wastewater treatment and groundwater and soil remediation. ZVI can degrade contaminants by reactions of adsorption, redox, and co-precipitation. It can also react with oxidants like hy...

In this study, the electronic structure of the galena surface was investigated using the first-principle calculation. The results of band structure, density of states, Mulliken population distribution, and frontier orbital analysis showed that galena...

Traditional microchannel needs to face the flow-reversal difficulty in high heat fluxes due to limited space. It results in large pressure and temperature fluctuation. Porous microchannels arouse more interest to provide a new solution to this proble...

By researching the influence of micro-groove texture on the surface tribological properties of the stator and rotor pair of oil production hydraulic motors, this paper aims to reduce the frictional resistance moment of the spiral pair of hydraulic mo...

Mechanical loads considerably impact wind turbine lifetime, and a reduction in this load is crucial while designing a controller for maximum power extraction at below-rated speed (region II). A trade-off between maximum energy extraction and minimum...
