Self anchoring retaining wall with anchor (2) and anchor bars (3) for storing granular materials. The granular material is placed at the same side of the wall (1) as the anchor whereby the anchor is fixed and the granular material retained.Moller, Skjold La Cour...
Depending on the respective machining task, different processing force and material removal rates were needed. An experimental research had been carried out by measuring the radial forces under different conditions during the AFM. Based on findings in the force changing and processing cir...
The applied shear stress that is needed for a dislocation to loop around and pass two particles can be described as.(5)τ=Gbl where G is the shear modulus, b is the magnitude of Burgers vector, and l is the inter-particle distance. Note that this is the same as the stress needed to...
The artist’s note accompanying the work describes it as being “for all our friends and relations who have been victims of Mesothelioma and other ‘industrial’ lung disorders like Black Lung”. Indeed, the double-page spreads’ bilateral symmetry and their blackness, grayness and whiteness recal...
Water vapour permeability (WVP) data on brick, stone, plaster and cement-based materials from some seventy publications are reviewed and assessed. Almost a
The severe degradation of electrochemical performance for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) at low temperatures poses a significant challenge to their practical
the method to increase surface area was the most efficient way. It has been shown that reducing the size of the particles to the nanometer greatly enhanced the performance of the catalysts. However, effective supporting materials were needed because increasing the surface area of platinum particles ...
(PTT) has emerged as a promising solution to efficiently damage the integrity of pathogenic bacteria based on hyperthermia beyond their tolerance. Until now, numerous photothermal agents have been studied for antimicrobial PTT. Among them, MXenes (a type of two-dimensional transition metal carbides ...
The world is facing a very near and present crisis in terms of climate change and the threat to life. A dramatic reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions is needed, and in doing so fossil fuels require significant replacement. Linked to this is a decarbonization of our materials cycle. Ou...
However, there is very little clinical (in vivo) research on the long-term outcomes of these materials and so caution is needed as to their efficacy. Such data is needed before the true effectiveness of these materials can be assessed. It is recommended that given the promise of these ...
