To investigate the temperature dependence of the modulus of LSAM-50 flexible base asphalt pavement (LSAM-50 pavement) materials, specifically SMA-13, AC-20, and LSAM-50. The effects of temperature on the modulus of LSAM-50 pavement materials were inv...
Volume parameters such as the volume of voids (VV), voids filled with asphalt (VFA), and voids in mineral aggregates (VMA) all have significant impact on asphalt mixtures. In this study, the vertical vibration compaction method (VVCM) was employed to...
This study quantitatively investigates the fatigue cracking behavior of ultra-large particle size asphalt mixture (LSAM-50) under coupled temperature and stress effects. Fatigue tests were conducted across temperatures ranging from −15 °C t...
Large aggregate asphalt mixtures can absorb noise, reduce water damage, effectively improve the service life of roads, and reduce environmental pressure. In this study, the fatigue characteristics of a large-sized asphalt mixture, LSAM-30, were inves...
The pavement base and subbase are the main load-bearing structures of asphalt pavement, and their materials need to have sufficient bearing capacity. Therefore, in the development of LSAM-50 mixtures with higher bearing capacity, after significant re...
The present paper addresses experimental and numerical investigations of a Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) process using polymers. By producing large components without geometrical constraints quickly and economically, LSAM processes have t...
Pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) are known precursors to pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest types of cancer worldwide. Surgical removal or pancreatectomies remain the central approach to managing precancerous high-risk PCLs. Endoscopic ultrasoun...
Large-Scale Material Extrusion (LS-MEX) is increasingly being used in small-scale production and prototyping due to its ability to create components in new temporal and spatial dimensions. However, the use of this manufacturing process poses microsco...
A slight modification of the synthetic procedure resulted in a new (Cc) polymorph of vinylic tellurium-trichloride Z-Cl(Ph)C=C(Ph)TeCl3 (1, β-form) which is stabilized by Te⋯Cl chalcogen bonds, assembling its molecules into the zigzag chai...
With the development of large-scale additive manufacturing (LSAM), parts can be created with higher deposition rates and bigger build volumes [...]
Precipitation is an essential climate variable in the hydrologic cycle. Its abnormal change would have a serious impact on the social economy, ecological development and life safety. In recent decades, many studies about extreme precipitation have be...
The effects of the molecular architecture of water-insoluble organosilicon polymerizable surfactant macromers (SAMs) on their colloidal-chemical characteristics and on their efficiency in heterophase radical polymerization of styrene and methyl metha...
Structural equation models (SEM), or confirmatory factor analysis as a special case, contain model parameters at the measurement part and the structural part. In most social-science SEM applications, all parameters are simultaneously estimated in a o...
Detecting small ship targets in large-scale synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with complex backgrounds is challenging. This difficulty arises due to indistinct visual features and noise interference. To address these issues, we propose a novel tw...
