Economic Efficacy Assessment of Deteriorating Protection Structures Subjected to Natural Phenomena in Mountains
(2023)Natural phenomena in mountains (e.g., torrential floods, debris flows) pose threat to people and material assets (e.g., houses, roads). Depending on their intensity, they can result in direct damages (e.g., destruction) ... -
Effect of a uniform bias force on the Brownian movement in double-well potentials
(American Physical Society, 1997)A general property of the Brownian motion in a bistable potential with the asymmetry arising from the imposition of a bias force is described. The property is that, at values of the bias force far less than the critical value ... -
Effect of an oblique magnetic field on the superparamagnetic relaxation time
(American Physical Society, 1995)The effect of a constant magnetic field, applied at an angle to the easy axis of magnetization, on the Neel relaxation time of a single domain ferromagnetic particle (with uniaxial anisotropy) is studied by calculating the ... -
Effect of chitin, chitosan and NaCMC biopolymers on the consistency limits of organic silt
(2024)With global concerns on carbon emissions, there is increased need for various eco-friendly alternatives to conventional (cement and lime) additives used in ground improvement applications. This paper investigates the ... -
Effect of clear-felling and harvest residue removal on nitrogen and phosphorus export from drained norway spruce mires in southern finland
(2015)Calibration-period/control-area approach was used to study nitrogen and phosphorus export from drained and productive Norway-spruce-dominated peatland forests follow- ing conventional stem-only and ... -
Effect of decomposition on physical properties of fibrous peat
(2014)Organic matter in peat deposits undergoes slow microbial decomposition, which causes permanent material change, including reduction in volume of solids, and is a significant factor in the development of creep settlements ... -
Effect of electric field on the polarised infrared spectra of smectic liquid crystals
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2000)In this research Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy has been used to investigate the effect of the polarised infrared beam and the electric field on the orientational behaviour of the ferroelectric and antiferroelectric ... -
Effect of friction fatigue on pile capacity in dense sand
(2007)The paper presents the results of a series of field tests performed to study the causes of friction fatigue experienced by displacement piles. Four instrumented model piles were installed at a dense sand test-bed site. The ... -
The Effect of In Process Heat Treatment on the Mechanical Properties of Cold Spray Coatings
(ASM International, 2019)Cold spray (CS) is an additive manufacturing process which has recently gained interest within research and select high-end production systems; however, one of the primary factors limiting the deployment of this process ... -
The Effect of Local Field Dispersion on the Spectral Characteristics of Nanosized Particles and their Composites
(Intech, 2011)Infrared (IR) spectroscopy of micro- and nanosized particles and their composites is currently one of the most important enabling technologies in the development of micro- and nanostructures and their application to ... -
Effect of molecular-scale surface morphology on the surface melting of liquid crysals on self-assembly monolayers
(2014)We devised liquid crystal cell substrates with different surface roughnesses at the molecular scale by controlling the density of two types of trichlorosilanes with different alkyl chain lengths. We investigated surface ... -
EFFECT OF POZZOLAN PROPERTIES ON THE PROPERTIES OF BUILDING COMPOSITES
(2010)Pozzolans were used by ancient civilizations to enhance the properties of mortars and concrete and are now regaining popularity as sustainable, environmentally-friendly alternatives to cement. This paper studies the ...
