Bacterial inactivation in sunlit surface waters is dominated by reactive species that emanate from the synergy between light, iron, and natural organic matter

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Jun Ma, Da Wang, Shuang Song

In this study, the synergistic and antagonistic effects of Fe species and coexisting natural organic matter (NOM) on the efficacy of solar light disinfection of water are investigated. Different initial iron species (Fe2+/Fe3+) and naturalorganic matter ty ...

Experimental investigation of the cyclic properties of welds in mild structural steels

Selimcan Ozden

Structural steels have long been used in construction applications. Their mechanical properties and behavior under seismic loading or under fatigue design are of considerable interest for researchers and engineers. Although extensive studies have been cond ...

Electronic Structure-Dependent Surface Plasmon Resonance in Single Au-Fe Nanoalloys

Olivier Martin, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

The relationship between composition and plasmonic properties in noble metal nanoalloys is still largely unexplored. Yet, nanoalloys of noble metals, such as gold, with transition elements, such as iron, have unique properties and a number of potential app ...

Experimental demonstration of the water-holding property of three-dimensional vortices

When injecting dye into a vertical vortex generated by a commercial magnetic stirrer, one finds that dye remains captured around the vortex core over minutes, while it gets mixed with the water outside this region rather rapidly. Thus, considering its hori ...

From 2D to 3D Characterization of Materials Subjected to Extreme Pressure and Temperature Conditions

Farhang Nabiei

Planetesimal were the first planetary objects to form in the solar system, which later grew to make the proto-planets. Most of these bodies were differentiated as a result of internal heating. Several differentiated bodies have, then, been accreted followi ...

Remarkable enhancement of bacterial inactivation in wastewater through promotion of solar photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH by natural organic acids

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Paola Villegas Guzman

In this work, the near-neutral photo-Fenton process, as a means of wastewater disinfection, was enhanced by the addition of Organic Acids (OAs), namely citric, ascorbic, tartaric and caffeic acid. The addition of OAs exhibited significant bacterial inactiv ...

Fatigue design criteria for strengthening metallic beams with bonded CFRP plates

Alain Nussbaumer, Masoud Motavalli, Mario Fontana, Elyas Ghafoori

Different failure criteria used to prevent fatigue crack initiation in metallic members are described. A series of closed-form analytical solutions were developed to predict the fatigue resistance of metallic beams after strengthening with carbon fiber-rei ...

Influence of internal impacts between fragments in dynamic brittle tensile fragmentation

Jean-François Molinari, Marco Vocialta

Dynamic fragmentation phenomena involve two important mechanisms: atomic debonding and internal impacts among formed fragments. While the former, i.e. energy dissipation due to crack propagation, has been frequently studied both theoretically and numerical ...

Heat treatment of carbon anodes for the aluminum industry

Mauriz Lustenberger

Aluminum is produced by the electrolytic reduction of alumina dissolved in molten cryolite. This process requires carbon anodes which are consumed during the electrolysis. The anodes contribute roughly with 15% to the total aluminum production cost. If the ...
