The durability of asphalt pavement is associated with the properties and performance binder. This work-study intended to understand impact blending Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) conventional concrete mixtures calculating Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC) for mixture also; compare between SBS modified mixture. Two different kinds penetration grades, A.C. (40-50) (60-70), were improved 2.5 3.5% pol...

This paper presents a new model which computes the deformation and the feedback force of high-resolution biomedical volumetric objects consisting of hundreds of thousands of volume elements. The main difficulty in the simulation of these high-resolution volumetric objects is to compute and generate stable feedback force from the objects within a haptic update time (1msec). In our model, springs...

Compressibility of biological tissues such as brain parenchyma is related to its poroelastic nature characterized by the geometry and pressure of vasculature and interconnected fluid-filled spaces. Thus, cerebral volumetric strain may be sensitive to intracranial pressure which can be altered under physiological conditions. So far volumetric strain has attained little attention in studies of th...

We have examined the methane uptake properties of six of the most promising metal organic framework (MOF) materials: PCN-14, UTSA-20, HKUST-1, Ni-MOF-74 (Ni-CPO-27), NU-111, and NU-125. We discovered that HKUST-1, a material that is commercially available in gram scale, exhibits a room-temperature volumetric methane uptake that exceeds any value reported to date. The total uptake is about 230 c...
