Ramps provide entrances and exits for residents to conveniently use the freeway service. Due to the high construction cost and geometric design requirements, the decision of ramp locations involves a trade-off between multiple influencing factors, su...
Configuring energy storage systems (ESSs) in distribution networks is an effective way to alleviate issues induced by intermittent distributed generation such as transformer overloading and line congestion. However, flexibility has not been fully tak...
The guide signs at expressway play an important role in conveying road information to drivers. To study the reasonable setting of guide signs at expressway with consecutive dense exits, firstly, a bidirectional eight-lane expressway segment model wer...
Low-head ramped weirs are a common instream obstacle to fish movements. Fish passability of these structures, where water passes over but does not generate a waterfall, is primarily related to ramp length and slope, but their relative contribution ha...
ALD HfO2/Al2O3 laminated metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors with a fixed nominal dielectric thickness of 30 nm were compared to determine how Al2O3 thickness and placement affect electrical behavior. Because the Si substrate was con...
The Casco Viejo of Panama is an area with great potential to develop a pedestrian zone, as it is an attractive area for travelers to visit. For this development to be carried out safely, it is recommended that the site is analyzed based on superblock...
Membrane profiling and near-membrane spacers modify concentration polarization by altering fluid flow and the membrane–solution interface. This study examines their combined influence using a two-dimensional Nernst–Planck–Poisson&nd...
The pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus, is an important pest of field peas and faba beans worldwide. Present sampling techniques that rely on detection of adult feeding damage are labor intensive, time consuming and require repeated sampling. Semiochem...
A new accessory was developed to allow implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) without requiring an anastomosis to the ascending aorta. The accessory combines the LVAD inflow and outflow into a dual-lumen device. Initial prototypes en...
A replicable methodology for testing the size and placement of Battery Energy Storage Systems connected to high-voltage transmission networks is presented in this study. The proposed approach involves the power flow analysis inside a Renewable Energy...
This comprehensive study focused on the standard taxi sign used in Ireland and its impact on drag production, fuel expenses, and CO
The development of eco-efficient construction materials requires optimisation strategies that reduce cement consumption, valorise industrial by-products, and enhance performance without increasing material demand. Clay–cement sealing suspension...
The Huainan Mining Area features extensively developed, fragmented-soft and low-permeability coal seams, characterized by low porosity and permeability, complex geological structures, and significant difficulty in coalbed methane (CBM) drainage. Hori...
