Comparative evaluation of fatigue resistance of warm fine aggregate asphalt mixtures
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Fatigue cracking is one of the crucial distresses in asphalt pavements that affect its service life and rehabilitation process. The resistance of asphalt mixtures to fatigue failure in the laboratory experiments is influenced ...
Viscous behavior of imidazolium-based ionic liquids
(2013 , Article)
The viscosity of four imidazolium-based ionic liquids is analyzed as a function of pressure and temperature. Experimental measurements were carried out using an electromagnetic moving piston viscometer in the 303-353 K and ...
Improved characterization of HRV signals based on instantaneous frequency features estimated from quadratic time-frequency distributions with data-adapted kernels
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
The analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) provides a non-invasive tool for assessing the autonomic regulation of cardiovascular system. Quadratic time-frequency distributions (TFDs) have been used to account for the ...
A branch-and-price algorithm for the two-stage guillotine cutting stock problem
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We investigate the two-stage guillotine two-dimensional cutting stock problem. This problem commonly arises in the industry when small rectangular items need to be cut out of large stock sheets. We propose an integer ...
Preparation and characterization of urea-formaldehyde microcapsules filled with paraffin oil
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Paraffin oil was encapsulated in a urea–formaldehyde polymer shell by in situ polymerization. The effect of modifying the fabrication parameters, specifically the emulsifier, the core material concentration, the stirring ...
A grey-based approach for managing uncertainties and performance in automotive supply chains
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
Automotive supply chains are among the most complicated chains to manage because of the involvement of enormous number of suppliers and the associated uncertainties. Any disruption in the chain has a great impact on the ...
Microtron Irradiation Induced Tuning of Band Gap and Photoresponse of Al-ZnO Thin Films Synthesized by mSILAR
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2016 , Article)
Al-doped polycrystalline nano ZnO (Al-ZnO) thin films with different doping concentrations were successfully prepared by the microwave-assisted successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (mSILAR) technique. The structural ...
Na2FeP2O7 as a Promising Iron-Based Pyrophosphate Cathode for Sodium Rechargeable Batteries: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2013 , Article)
Considering the promising electrochemical performance of the recently reported pyrophosphate family in lithium ion batteries as well as the increasing importance of sodium ion batteries (SIBs) for emerging large-scale ...
Nanoclay compatibilization of phase separated polysulfone/polyimide films for oxygen barrier
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
Polyimide (PI) and Polysulfone (PSF) films are used in many applications ranging from electronic film capacitors to membranes for gas separation and water purification, yet their phase separation issues limit many potential ...
Statistical Analysis of Cultural Parameters Influencing Delta-Endotoxins and Proteases Productions by Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a spore-forming bacterium that produces delta-endotoxins, which are toxic to lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans. Concomitantly with production of delta-endotoxins, B. thuringiensis produces ...
