In an environmental setup both humans and animals are exposed to mixture of heavy metals, especially through drinking water. Little is known about the interactions among various heavy metals during their co-exposure through drinking water and their net combined toxic implications in humans and animals. In current study, we examined the effect of sub chronic exposure via drinking water to a low ...

This study emerges from a real-world cargo securing application to ensure safer road transportation and falls into the category of container loading problems with practical constraints. The literature has lacked efficient methods for secure items non-identical dimensions, weights rotations containers while ensuring that efforts necessary are minimal when also taking account multi-drop axle weig...

Reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular (RCFST) members possess excellent load-bearing properties and fire resistance, have been applied in a range of practical engineering projects. In addition to static seismic loads, RCFST may also be subjected transverse impact such as those from vehicle/vessel collisions terrorist attacks. An experimental numerically study into the dynamic behaviour is th...
