We have compared calorimetric measurements with the nonlinear optical technique vibrational sum frequency scattering to investigate interface-solvent effects in colloidal gelation transitions. This allows us to explain the difference in gelation behaviour ...
Methyl tertiary hexyl ether (MtHxE) and methyl tertiary octyl ether (MtOcE) are currently being developed as replacement oxygenates for methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) in gasoline. As was the case with MtBE, the introduction of these ethers into fuel su ...
The mechanisms that contribute to early-age cracking are complex. Determining the relative importance of each mechanism as well as the combined cracking potential for a given concrete material is essential for the concrete industry to construct structures ...
The paper presents an application of the transient heater foil measurement technique using thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC) to endwall heat transfer and film cooling investigations in a transonic turbine vane cascade. The film cooling configuration cons ...

During the last century, urban pollution has increased with the growth of cities. Urban air quality has become a high priority as it is directly linked to concerns such as human exposure and health. The present work is dedicated to urban air quality modeli ...
The aim of this paper is to explore a new approach to obtain better traffic demand (Origin-Destination, OD matrices) for dense urban networks. From reviewing existing methods, from static to dynamic OD matrix evaluation, possible deficiencies in the approa ...
The aim of this paper is to explore a new approach to obtain better traffic demand (Origin-Destination, OD matrices) in case of dense urban networks. To improve the global process of OD demand estimation, this paper is focussing on a new methodology to exe ...
The effects of neutron irradiation on the microstructure of welded joints made of austenitic stainless steels have been investigated. The materials were welded AISI 304 and AISI 347, so-called test weld materials, and irradiated with neutrons at 300 degree ...
Rapid urbanization in recent years has exerted tremendous pressure on urban development. In the face of the largely unexamined fashion for densification, it is vital that the environmental impact of compaction be researched. This study comprises solar simu ...
ABSTRACT: La Ville Radieuse, ‘The Contemporary City for Three Million Inhabitants’ proposed by Le Corbusier for central Paris is a myth in the history of contemporary town planning. The proposal, according to Le Corbusier, could increase the urban capacity ...
