In the present paper the corrosion properties of structured sheet metals were investigated. The aim of this work is to determinate the influence of the structuring process on the corrosion resistance of sheet metals. For this purpose, these sheets were examined by accelerated tests in corrosion chamber. The investigation was carried out using salt spray test. The experiment was conducted for th...

Coatings are a cheap and efficient solution to protect underlying metallic substrates against electrochemical corrosion. High performance coatings do not only provide this protection of the substrate in the undamaged state but also when they are scratched. This enhanced protection can be achieved in many different ways (ranging from primers based on expansive phases which seal the crack upon sc...

The safe and long-term serviceability of concrete structures is one the methods how to improve sustainability industry. This study presents a pilot application an~integrated system for online monitoring service life prediction bridges. consists strain gauges measuring structural response coupled with laser rangefinder detection bridge-crossing traffic. measured data were used development comput...

This contribution is devoted to explanation and prediction of corrosion pit propagation or stable pit growth, governed by ion transport properties in electrolytic solutions by deriving the (3D) mass balance for a body hosting a sharp dissolution front which separates the solid electrode from liquid electrolyte. The model is completed by Fick’s law of diffusion, governing the behavior of the dis...

Prediction Markets for Economic Forecasting Prediction markets – markets used to forecast future events – have been used to accurately forecast the outcome of political contests, sporting events, and, occasionally, economic outcomes. This chapter summarizes the latest research on prediction markets in order to further their utilization by economic forecasters. We show that prediction markets ha...

in recent decades, seizure prediction caused a lot of research in both signal processing and neuroscience field. the researches tried to enhance the conventional seizure prediction algorithms such that rate of the false alarms be appropriately small so that seizures can be predicted according to clinical standards. up to now none of the proposed algorithms have been sufficiently adequate. in th...
