Characterizaing sediment physical property variability for bench scale dewatering purposes
(Thomas Telford Ltd, 2020)A field sampling program was undertaken to assess the variability of physical characteristics of contaminated sediments in a large (160 ha) effluent stabilization lagoon. The objective of this paper is to use this “field ... -
Characterization of Combined Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs for Strengthening Concrete Columns
(NRC Research Press, 2019-09-04)This paper presents the results of a study on the characterization of combined longitudinal near-surface-mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars and transverse FRP wraps for strengthening concrete columns. A total ... -
Characterizing Porosity and Diffusive Properties of Monolithic Cement-Based Solidified/Stabilized Materials
(2012-07)This paper presents the application of a single reservoir diffusion test to determine both the effective porosity of a soil-cement matrix and the diffusivity of tritium through saturated, monolithic, cement solidified/stabilized ... -
Chord-end RHS-to-RHS and CHS-to-CHS X-connections with rigid cap plates: Stress concentration factors (Postprint)
(Elsevier, 2021-04-01)For rectangular hollow section (RHS)-to-RHS and circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS connections situated near a truss/girder end, reinforcement using a chord-end cap plate is common; however, for fatigue design, formulae ... -
Circular hollow section X-connections near an open chord end: stress concentration factors (Postprint)
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)This paper presents a numerical finite element (FE) investigation to determine stress concentration factors (SCFs) for circular hollow section (CHS)-to-CHS X-connections near an open chord end. Previous large-scale experiments ... -
Climate change impacts on the temperature and magnitude of groundwater discharge from shallow, unconfined aquifers

Closed-Form Model and Parametric Study on Connection of Concrete-Filled FRP Tubes to Concrete Footings by Direct Embedment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010-10-30)Concrete-filled fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tubes (CFFTs) have been introduced as a new system for piles, columns and poles. A simple moment connection based on direct embedment of the CFFT into concrete footings or ... -
Coastal groundwater model calibration using filtered and amplified hydraulic information retained in the freshwater–saltwater interface Postprint
(Springer, 2022-07-22)Coastal groundwater flow is driven by an interplay between terrestrial and marine forcings. One of the distinguishing features in these settings is the formation of a freshwater lens due to the density difference between ... -
Competition model for aperiodic stochastic resonance in a Fitzhugh-Nagumo model of cardiac sensory neurons
(American Institute of Physics Inc, 2001)A model is presented to access the cause and effect between noisy threshold inputs and the average firing rate generated by neuron. The neural control in the heart in aperiodic stochastic resonance (ASR) was partially ... -
Compressive Behaviour of Concrete Cylinders Reinforced with Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Bars
(Canadian Society for Civil Engineering:, 2017-05-31)Current design standards ignore any contribution of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete in a state of compression. This paper challenged this convention by testing 30 cylinders of 36 MPa concrete to ... -
Consensus formation control for a class of networked multiple mobile robot systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)No abstract available. -
Contribution of Longitudinal GFRP Bars in Concrete Cylinders under Axial Compression
(NRC Research Press, 2018-01-15)Contribution of longitudinal glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in concrete columns under compression has been ignored by current design guidelines. This paper challenges this convention by testing 21 concrete ... -
Control of cardiac function and noise from a decaying power spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2004)The transduction capability of cardiac affected neurons situated to the heart to control cardiac function was described. It was observed that the through in situ cardiac afferent activity shows evidence of independent and ... -

A Coupled MM5-CMAQ Modeling System for Assessing Effects of Restriction Measures on PM10 Pollution in Olympic City of Beijing, China
(2012-06)In this paper, a coupled MM5-CMAQ modeling system was employed to investigate the PM10 pollution issue in Beijing, China, with a focus on assessing the effects of different restriction policies implemented during and after ... -
Coupled-power theory of nonlinear distributed-feedback lasers, yielding reduced longitudinal spatial hole burning
(1998-06/22)The authors present an analysis of the nonlinear distributed-feedback (DFB) laser action, derive a set of nonlinear coupled-power equations, and obtain a general condition for a nonlinear DFB laser with reduced spatial ... -
Cumulative Impact Energy Absorption of Sandwich Panels with Foam Cores and Flax FRP Facings
(2017-11-27)In this paper, the cumulative energy absorption of sandwich panels constructed of foam cores and flax fiber-reinforced bio-based polymer (FFRP) faces is studied. Nine sandwich panels were constructed and tested under varying ...
