AbstractNew chemically amended (sodium periodate cellulose nanoparticle (NaIO4-CNP) adsorbent material was synthesized from dried fibers of cotton. The synthesized NaIO4-CNP adsorbent material was characterized for functional groups, crystallite size, surface morphology, morphological structure, and particle size) by using ...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractMany shafts in China have experienced large deformations in the deep soil Strata, which has had a significant impact on mining safety. This study conducted a geotechnical model test called the seepage force model to address the deformation issues of shafts caused by mining solid mineral resources in regions with deep soil strata. This test simulated the imp...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractLiquefied natural gas (LNG) is commonly transported by LNG carriers and stored in cargo containment systems. The primary barrier of the MARK III cargo containment system is welded to a closed space with corrugated stainless steel plates. To meet the requirements of excellent sealing and thermal insulation for cargo containment, the welding process of the co...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe present study aimed to analyze and spatially model maximum rainfall in the southern and southwestern regions of Minas Gerais using spatial statistical methods. Daily data on maximum rainfall were collected from 29 cities in the region. To obtain predictions of maximum rainfall for return periods of 2, 5, 10, 50, and 100 years, Bayesian Inference was emp...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractIn this paper we discuss the use of a metaheuristic (MH) gradient-free optimization method, specifically the slime mold algorithm (SMA), combined with the topology optimization (TO) method to design metasurfaces using a spectral modal method. The motivation behind using a MH approach comes from the drawbacks associated with traditional gradient-based method...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractWe study the synchronization behavior of a class of identical FitzHugh-Nagumo-type oscillators under adaptive coupling. We describe the oscillators by a circuit model and we provide a sufficient synchronization condition that relies on the shape of the nonlinear conductance’s (i, u)-curve and the connect...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe use of a light-weight deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) augmented with the power of Fuzzy Non-Sample Shearlet Transformation (FNSST) has successfully solved the problem of reducing noise and artifacts in Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) pictures. Both the Normal-Dose Computed Tomography (NDCT) and the Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT...... hiện toàn bộ
