Additive Manufacturing (AM), or else Smart Manufacturing, has been an intrinsic concept in Industry 4.0, offering flexibility and material efficiency. Certain limitations prevent AM from being used in the industrial setting extensively, despite its a...
Asphalt concrete pavements are vulnerable to freeze-thaw cycles. Consecutive cracking and penetration of corrosive agents can expedite the degradation of asphalt pavements and result in weight loss and reduced strength. Fiber reinforcement in flexibl...
The durability of concrete has a significant influence on the sustainability and resilience of various infrastructures, including buildings, bridges, roadways, dams, and other applications. Penetration of corrosive agents intensified by exposure to f...
Copulas are important probabilistic tools to model and interpret the correlations of measures involved in real or experimental phenomena. The versatility of these phenomena implies the need for diverse copulas. In this article, we describe and invest...
Marine structures are susceptible to corrosion that accelerates material wastage. This phenomenon could lead to thickness reduction to the extent in which local buckling instabilities may occur. The majority of existing repair techniques require weld...
Data integration is one of the core responsibilities of EDM (enterprise data management) and interoperability. It is essential for almost every digitalization project, e.g., during the migration from a legacy ERP (enterprise resource planning) softwa...
In the cost–benefit analysis of urban transportation investment, a logsum-based benefit calculation is widely used. However, it is rarely applied to inter-regional transportation. In this study, we applied a logsum-based approach to the calcula...
Rigorous peer-reviews are the basis of high-quality academic publishing [...]
Herein, we discuss the modeling and verification of RF sensed signals in a simple plasma channel (plasma jet) at the generator frequency of f = 13.56 MHz, assuming plasma discharge at atmospheric pressure. The actual experiment was preceded by a basi...
In this paper, we study a reformulation of the Economic Production Quantity (EPQ) problem. We study a more general version of the problem first and derive the conditions for an optimal solution, as well as the optimal solution itself, all without usi...
A population balance model for the aggregation of iron oxide nanoflowers (IONfs) is presented. The model is based on the fixed pivot technique and is validated successfully for four kinds of aggregation kernels. The extended Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey...
Broader understanding of waste management has the potential to bring about broad societal change impacting the climate crisis and public health. We present existing waste management tools and commercially-available games involving waste management, h...
Indices of abundance are usually a key input parameter used for fitting a stock assessment model, as they provide abundance estimates representative of the fraction of the stock that is vulnerable to fishing. These indices can be estimated from catch...
