With good mechanical properties and corrosion-resistance, galvanized coils are used in many fields nowadays, such as auto industry and household appliance industry. Because of high additional value of galvanized product, steel plants pay much more attention on how to make continuous galvanizing lines (CGL) run efficiently. In this paper, we address a scheduling problem of continuous galvanizing...

Among rampage shooting massacres, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012 galvanized public attention. In this Commentary we examine the features of this episode of gun violence that has sparked strong reactions and energized discourse that may ultimately lead toward constructive solutions to diminish high rates of firearm deaths and injuries in the United States.

To mitigate habitat fragmentation and roadkill, roads are increasingly equipped with wildlife fences underpasses. However, the effectiveness of such in preventing road access for amphibians has not been tested under controlled conditions. In 2019 2020, we efficacy full panel differing material, height, shape (presence/absence an overhang), to prevent adult juvenile amphibians. We selected five ...

Ultrasonic metal welding is an energy-efficient, fast and clean joining technology without the need of additional filler materials. Single spot ultrasonic aluminum to steel sheets using automotive materials has already been investigated. Up now, further studies close gap application-relevant multi-metal structures with multiple weld spots generated are still missed. In this work, two different ...

the use of polymer composite (frp) as a reinforcement material for the repair and strengthening of important components of reinforced concrete structures, particularly columns, has found wide spread. in this study, the effect of intermediate layer on improving the confinement behavior of reinforced concrete columns has been investigated. to achieve the objectives of the study, 14 cylindrical re...

In this study, planning, design and cost analysis of prefabricated beef cattle barns carried out. Steel mesh was used to strengthen the foundation structure. Galvanized-sheet material as carrier cover material, shaped like a trapezoid cross-section. The barns, which are planned in form tunnel cross-section tie-stalls type, designed for 10, 20 30-cattle be particularly suitable family enterprise...
