A three-dimensional (3-D) locally homogeneous model for asphalt mixtures is presented in this study, which can effectively balance the simulating accuracy and computational effort. Moreover, accounts various aggregate gradations to allow mesoscale analysis of concrete (AC) under loading. In first step development, weighted Voronoi tessellation technology was employed divide volume mixture into ...

Recently a large number of literature on fuzzy control are TS model-based control where, mostly, the common P approach searching for a single Lyapunov function remains active Wang et al. [1996], Tanaka et al. [1998], Kim and Lee [2000], Blanco et al. [2000], Tuan et al. [2001]. Another category emphasizes parameter-dependent functions with multiple Pj matrices as a candidate of Lyapunov functio...

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) is a major pathogen that threatens the growth and sustainability of the sericulture industry. Since microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in host-pathogen interactions, in this study we investigated the effects of BmNPV infection on silkworm microRNAs expression profile. To achieve this, we constructed and deep-sequenced two smal...

Abstract This study presents the effect of variation in weight fraction multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) polymer with objective enhancing thermo-mechanical properties along electrical insulating properties. Polymer multi-walled nanocomposites (PMWCNC) and MWCNTs/Al 2 O 3 bi-layer were prepared by solution mixing method ultrasonication magnetic stirring, then molded vertical sandwich molds, m...
