Robustness of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is an ongoing challenging research topic in the engineering community. During extreme event, loss vertical load-bearing elements can activate large-deformation resisting mechanisms such as membrane and catenary actions beams floor slabs cast-in-situ RC buildings to resist gravity loads. However, few studies have been conducted for precast (PC) b...

The present work deals with the continuous flow systems based on renewable resource biosorbents towards green removal of various categories chemical pollutants from aqueous media. opening discussions are focused on: (a) resources; (b) (c) dynamic biosorption. After these, resources reviewed according to parameters breakthrough curves. Subsequently, targeted systematized and analyzed following c...

This paper investigates the removal of line scratches from old niovies and gives a twofold contribution. First, it presents simple technique for detecting the scratches, based on an analysis of the statistics of the grey levels. Second, the scratches removal is approached as an optiniisation problem, which is solved by using a genetic algorithm. The method can be classified as a static approach...

This paper investigates the removal of line scratches from old movies and gives a twofold contribution. First, it presents simple technique for detecting the scratches, based on an analysis of the statistics of the grey levels. Second, the scratches removal is approached as an optimisation problem, and it is solved by using a genetic algorithm. The method can be classified as a static approach,...

A simple inverse model is proposed to deduce hemisphere-integrated COS flux based on published time series of total column COS. The global atmosphere is divided into two boxes representing the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and the total column COS data from several stations are used to calculate hemispheric COS loadings. The integrated flux within each hemisphere is calculated as a linear ...

Removal of fly ash using wet scrubbers is widely used in the small and medium scale industries. Among the wet scrubbing methods, spray column falls into the simplest type category for its simple construction and various advantages. A novel pilot plant wet scrubber has been conceived, designed and fabricated. This paper distinctly focuses on the detailed design and fabrication of the ejector, wh...
