This study proposes an integrated framework to automatically detect anomalies and faults in underground transmission-line connectors (UTLCs) with thermal images because anomaly detection of underground transmission-line connectors (UTLCs) plays a critical role in power line risk management.The proposed framework features three key characteristics.F
Gene Expression Programming for Estimating Shear Strength of RC Squat Wall
The flanged, barbell, and rectangular squat reinforced concrete (RC) walls are broadly used in low-rise commercial and highway under and overpasses.The shear strength of squat walls is the major design consideration because of their smaller aspect ratio.Most of Cleaner/Disinfectant the current design codes or available published literature provide
Bioinspired self-flowing wood chemical treatment
Abstract Wood has complex composition and structure, which make it difficult to achieve consistent and controllable treatment.A self-flowing process presented for the chemical treatment of wood is inspired by liquid transportation in trees during photosynthesis and tree growth, whereby Candle liquid in the soil is brought through the natural vessel
Toxicity and sub-lethal effect of endemic plants from family Anacardiaceae on oviposition behavior of Aedes albopictus
Objective: To evaluate the lethal concentration, oviposition deterrence and ovicidal activity of acetone extracts of Melanochyla fasciculiflora (M.fasciculiflora) leaf and Gluta renghas (G.renghas) leaf against Aedes albopictus (Ae.albopictus).Methods: To determine the lethal concentration of Anacardiaceae, ten test concentrations of the extracts r
The Second EWGRD Round Robin: Inter Comparison of Gamma Spectrometry Measurements on Activation Dosimeters
Following an initial Round Robin inter-comparison of gamma spectrometry measurements reported in 2014, this paper presents results from the first part of a second Round Robin inter-comparison commissioned by the European Working Group on Reactor Dosimetry in 2018.Measurements were performed by thirteen European organisations on a set of irradiated
