The collision of two laser generated plasma plumes can result, under appropriate conditions, in the formation of ‘stagnation layer’. The processes underlying this phenomenon are complex and time dependent. The majority of ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering works in silty
soils. A detailed characterisation of two estuarine silt sites in Ireland is performed and the soil
properties are linked to their ...
Asphalt is a complex, heterogeneous material that is composed of differently sized aggregates, binder and air voids: in other words, it is a particulate reinforced composite. The focus of the present work is to investigate ...
Sample disturbance effects in the laminated facies at the Bothkennar soft clay research
site are examined by comparing the results of laboratory tests on specimens obtained
from three fixed piston tube samplers. A ...
Guidance is provided for geotechnical engineers designing civil engineering
works in silty soils based on a detailed characterisation of a glaciomarine silt from Os in western Norway. It was found that these soils are ...
Increasing penetration of wind power on power
systems worldwide is resulting in the unconventional operation
of base-load generating units. These units which were originally
designed for operation at full output are ...
Empirical rock properties and continuum mechanics provide a basis for defining relationships between a variety of mechanical properties, such as strength, friction angle, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, on the one hand ...
Geotechnical characteristics of Dublin Boulder Clay (DBC) based on detailed site
investigation and site experience from some recent large projects in Dublin are presented.
This paper attempts to synthesise available ...
Knowledge of the subcellular location of a protein provides valuable information about its function and possible interaction with other proteins. In the post-genomic era, fast and accurate predictors of subcellular location ...
