This paper proposes a new point of view in analyzing the optimal Gibbs energy dissipation in growing microorganisms. Small Gibbs energy dissipation in growth would be of biological advantage because less resource is consumed and the biomass yield on these ...
This paper will present the current state of drainage systems in new and existing SBB-railway tunnels. The fundamental drainage concepts, their limits as well as the LCC will be considered. The problems linked with the water pressure, its quantity and chem ...
Over the last decade, a rapid development of internet, wireless mobile telecommunication, and product identification technologies make whole product life cycle visible and controllable, which can improve several operational issues over the whole product li ...
We report on printed strain sensors on several meters long PET fibers for integration in textile at large scale. The sensors are made by locally inkjet printing capacitive transducers on cylindrical PET fibers used in industrial textiles. Sensor measuremen ...
The offshore plant equipment usually has a long life cycle. During its O&M (Operation and Maintenance) phase, since the accidental occurrence of offshore plant equipment causes catastrophic damage, it is necessary to make more efforts for managing critical ...
Maintenance of the ITER EC H&CD Upper Launcher (UL) shall be performed through the use of Remote Handling (RH) in the ITER Hot Cell Facility (HCF). The UL design will have to be fully compliant with ITER RH maintenance requirements and the set of RH toolin ...
The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), presently in its Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) phase under the frame of the Broader Approach Agreement between Europe and Japan, accomplished in summer 2013 ...
Built in 1859, the railway bridge over the Rhine between Koblenz (Switzerland) and Waldshut (Germany) consists of a three span continuous riveted steel truss girder and an approach viaduct in natural stone masonry. Due to ever increasing traffic demands th ...
Real-time clearance control in turbine engines allows improving their efficiency and safety, by enabling prognostics and optimized condition-based maintenance in the turbine hot section. This paper presents a novel 24 GHz microwave sensing system for real- ...
Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a major concrete durability problem, resulting in significant maintenance and reconstruction costs to concrete infrastructures all over the world. Despite decades of study, the underlying chemical and physical reaction mecha ...
