Modelling the Flushing Mechanism of Thin Flexible Surface Pavements
… effects of volumetric properties of chip seal surfaces on flushing, focusing on the relationship between air voids and flushing initiation. Additionally, the research aimed to develop a pavement deterioration model to predict the initiation and progression of flushing on chip seal pavements. …

Development to a Flexible Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for Strain Sensing
<p>Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors have increasing demand in structural health monitoring due to their passive, variable bandwidth, reliable life-cycle, high accuracy, small size, and light nature. SAW sensors can not only provide the static states of the structural system, such as temperature …

Joint probability distribution of rainfall intensity and duration
… because the approach essentially fits a flexible surface to the discrete data with the capability of providing a complete probabilistic structure.

Micro active network after massive urban expansion
… with dedicated urban activities and speeds and a flexible surface that can adapt to changes in demand. The strategies of the four selected sites are four different solutions for active mobility networks related to internal resolving, density, service and recreation, with generations of various …

Chemical and biological modification of porous silicon photonic crystals.
… is the relative instability of the silicon surface to oxidation in ambient air and aqueous environments. This thesis reports methods for derivatising PSi towards realisation of 1-D silicon-based photonic materials for applications in biology and medicine. Narrow-linewidth rugate filters, a …

Structural and Biochemical Studies of Streptococcus sp. alpha-Glycerophosphate Oxidase
… have suggested that this insert region may be a flexible surface loop region. A 2.4 Å resolution x-ray crystal structure of the streptococcal GlpO enzyme has been determined, along with a 2.3 Å resolution x-ray crystal structure of a deletion mutant (GlpODelta) lacking the 50-residue insert …

Janus Particles at Interfaces
… but excellent wettability, biocompatibility, flexible surface chemistry, increased chemical stability are implemented together with a thermo-responsive polymer corona. On the basis of our well-characterized core-shell particles we took advantage of the variable surface chemistry of the silica …

Fundamental studies and applications for the development of novel MRI contrast agents: Hyperpolarized xenon-129 and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
… SPIONs offer high biological tolerability and flexible surface chemistry to allow for functionalization which can be exploited to yield differential MR response in different chemical environments. One general biological parameter of interest is tissue pH where local reductions in pH are …
