Even though the rotational ground motion may contribute significantly to the response of certain structures, their effects are generally ignored in seismic design, because of non-availability of appropriate instruments for ...

[1] The Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) has experienced a remarkable agricultural extensification since the mid-1800s. Hydroclimatological monitoring in the 20th century also reveals positive annual precipitation and ...

Soil–cement bricks are vastly more energy efficient than fired clay bricks. Although they have adequate strength, they absorb high levels of moisture and in humid conditions they become soft and non-uniform expansion leads ...

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a naturally occurring biological process that has various applications in remediation and restoration of range of building materials. In the present study the role of ...

Over the past few decades tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS) has established itself as a highly reliable technique for the measurement of gas parameters, specially in systems that require high sensitivity, high ...
