Experimental results and modelling of corrosion-damaged concrete beams strengthened with externally-bonded composites حسب Elghazy M.

"…The FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the strengthened beams. The interfacial bond stress-slip models at the fabric/matrix and composite/concrete interfaces and the number of composite layers had the most significant impact on the predicted response of the strengthened beams whereas the corrosion level, modeled as a reduction in the steel reinforcement cross-section, showed a slight effect on their performance. …"

Power management in multiuser adaptive modulation transmission under QoS requirements حسب Althunibat, Saud

"…The obtained results are encouraging as they show a great decrease in the system power budget. The multiuser system capability is also exploited to achieve larger power saving values and smaller probability of power outage by scheduling the user with the best channel characteristics at each time instant. …"

Pilot-scale petroleum refinery wastewaters treatment systems: performance and microbial communities' analysis حسب Karray, Fatma

"…The reduction of the COD, BOD5, phenols, and the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) reached 82.10%, 85.87%, 91.63%, and 81.11%, respectively at high hydraulic residence time (HRT = 10 days). Decreasing HRT to 5 and 2.5 days led to a decrease in the efficiency of the process and a decrease in biomass concentration was also observed (<1000 mg/l). …"

High temperature thermal stability of innovative nanostructured thin coatings for advanced tooling حسب Cabibbo, Marcello

"…The main problem with steel, isthat itexhibits a relatively low hardness (below 10 GPa) which strongly decreases upon annealing above about 600 K.Thus, the majority of modern tools are nowadays coated with hard coatings that increase the hardness, decrease the coefficient of friction and protect the tools against oxidation. …"

Spatio-temporal variation in potential habitats for rare and endangered plants and habitat conservation based on the maximum entropy model حسب Zongbao, Yang

"…Gap analysis showed that only 35.85% of habitat hotspots are currently included in existing PAs and that this will decrease to 32.26% by 2050. This emphasizes the importance of protecting current and future potential habitats of REPs in a dynamic conservation approach that can adapt to changes in future climate and human activities.…"
