The photoactivity of carbon-incorporated titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been widely reported. This study involves a novel approach to the incorporation of carbon into TiO2 through the use of microwave plasma processing. The ...
Hematite nanorod arrays were activated through proper control of annealing conditions. The 100-fold improvement in photocurrent was correlated with increased absorption and Sn doping from the tin oxide
coated glass ...
The linear canonical transform describes the effect of first-order quadratic phase optical systems on a wave field. Several recent papers have developed sampling rules for the numerical approximation of the transform. However, ...
Diffusion-based models of grating formation in photopolymers have been proposed in which the rate of monomer polymerization (removal) is directly proportional to the illuminating intensity inside the medium. However, based ...
The effect of using coarse grain in the upper layer of a gravel-based reed bed is investigated. The aim for testing the “anti-sized” arrangement of gravel media is to seek a solution for the practical problem of medium ...
The concept, design and performance analysis of a four-stage novel constructed wetland system (CWs) capable of enhanced and simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P) and organic matter (OM) from wastewaters is described. Alum ...
This paper is an investigation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) funding trends within America’s research-active tenured and tenure-track, civil engineering community from 50 major, doctoral-granting institutions, ...
This paper is a snapshot in time of the personal backgrounds, educational training, professional ranking, and productivity levels of those individuals with respect to Compendex-listed journal paper. Important questions are ...
Digital control of power converters has been an area of considerable research interest in recent times. One of the problems which arises in these systems is that of the limit cycle oscillations that occur due to quantization ...
A major landslide event occurred at Pollatomish, County Mayo, Ireland in
September 2003, during a period of intense rainfall. It comprised about 30 significant
individual longitudinal planar type slides of peat and ...
Photopolymer materials are practical materials for use as holographic recording media. To further develop such materials, a deeper understanding of the photochemical mechanisms present during the formation of holographic ...
Some of the theoretical models in the literature describing the mechanism of hologram formation in photopolymer materials predict the existence of higher harmonics in the Fourier expansion of the recorded
refractive ...
Two separate sets of reed bed systems were operated in parallel for the purpose to study a comparative behaviour of high strength animal wastewater treatment. Each system consisted of five-stage gravel-based reed beds. The ...
In this study the use of microwave plasma sintering of nickel oxide (NiOx) particles for use as p-type photoelectrode coatings in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is investigated. NiOx was chosen as the photocathode for ...
A comprehensive review of the current water pollution status in China has indicated that the urban lakes in Chinese cities have suffered from serious pollution and in high risk of eutrophication although the pollution ...
In machine defect detection, namely those of gears, the major problem is isolating the
defect signature from the measured signal, especially where there is significant background noise or multiple machine components. This ...
Nonlocal Polymerisation Driven Diffusion model describes grating formation in
photopolymer materials and gives valuable insight into the processes taking place during formation. For weak exposures, NPDD reduces to a ...
To propose an initial formulation for the passive control section of the Turkish Earthquake Code, the impact of base isolation and viscoelastic dampers on a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame building was considered ...
The determination of characteristic bridge load effect is a complex problem. Usually,
statistical extrapolation of simulated static load effects is used to derive a lifetime
characteristic static load effect. However, ...
A Discrete Particle Scheme (DPS) consisting of interacting circular particles is
utilised to examine the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) technique.
Synthetic earth models of various complexity are generated ...
