Electrodeposited white bronzes on brass: Corrosion in 3.5 % sodium chloride solution
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
White bronzes are electrodeposited coatings applied on brass as surface finishes. We report a comparative study on the corrosion resistance in chloride aqueous environment of two white bronzes, a Zn-bearing and a Zn-free. ...
CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER MANAGEMENT PROJECT SUPPORT SYSTEM UTILIZING DELPHI METHOD
(
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
, 2022 , Article)
Change orders are a major challenge in the construction industry due to the associated time and cost impacts. Thus, managing change effectively assists in alleviating cost overruns and delays. Avoiding change orders and ...
ArTest: The First Test Collection for Arabic Web Search with Relevance Rationales
(
Association for Computing Machinery, Inc
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
The scarcity of Arabic test collections has long hindered information retrieval (IR) research over the Arabic Web. In this work, we present ArTest, the first large-scale test collection designed for the evaluation of ad-hoc ...
