The purpose of this study was to introduce a proposed method retrofit RC beams. For self-compacting concrete containing aluminium oxide nanoparticles (ANPs) and silica fume (SF) used in jackets. laboratory experiment numerical simulation were investigate the behavior experimental variables included amount ANPs jackets (0 2.5% by weight cement) surface interaction between beam jacket (75% 100% s...

The visualization community is currently witnessing strong advances in topologybased flow visualization research. Numerous algorithms have been proposed since the introduction of this class of approaches in 1989. Yet despite the many advances in the field, topology-based flow visualization methods have, until now, failed to penetrate industry. Application domain experts are still, in general, n...

Vertical diffusion cells (VDC) have been envisaged as in vitro surrogates for ensuring product quality and performance for topical preparations. USP General Chapter <1724> Semisolid Drug Products—Product Performance Tests describes the application of VDC as one of the apparatus required for in vitro testing of topical products. Knowledge of various operational parameters and their impact on dru...

Extensive restorations of single anterior teeth are accomplished by using porcelain jacket crowns or porcelain enamel or plastic veneer restorations supported by an alloy restoration that is luted to the tooth. The porcelain jacket crown has the advantage that less tooth tissue must be removed, but the material is brittle and lacks impact strength. Studies by McLean",2 have shown that these res...

The most common energy application for biogas is on-site power generation using gas engine units. The introduction of a bottoming cycle based on Scroll expander Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology within a biogas plant is of high interest since the excess heat produced by biogas engines can be used to produce additional power. This paper describes the retrofit of a plant consisting of a dige...

Successful development of the offshore wind energy resource depends upon the reliability of the structures that support the electricity-generating rotor-nacelle assemblies that form the core of a wind turbine system. The risk posed to offshore wind turbines (OWTs) by extreme environmental events such as Atlantic hurricanes requires a more detailed examination of post-elastic structural performa...
