Influence of pore property and alkalinity on the bio-deposition treatment efficiency of recycled aggregates

Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has been successfully used to enhance the properties of recycled concrete aggregates. However, the complex source and varied physical and chemical properties of recycled aggregates may have influence on the modification efficiency since microbes are often sensitive to the...

Relationship between the migration of crustal material, normal faulting, and gneiss domes in the vicinity of the Dinggye region, central part of the Tethys–Himalaya terrane: Insights from the 3-D electrical structure

The Dinggye region, in the central part of the Himalayan orogenic belt, includes the southern part of the Xainza-Dinggye rift and the Mabja Gneiss Dome with leucogranite cores. Previous studies of gneiss domes in this region report the existence of channel flow processes or tectonic exhumation, in addition to partial melting of orogenic mid...

A Novel Analytical Method for Contact Stress of Flexible Joint in Ultra-short-radius Drilling Tools

The contact stress of flexible joint is an important factor affecting the safety of ultra-short-radius drilling tools. However, calculating the contact stress accurately is difficult, because the method for solving the multibody collision of the flexible joint is complex. A novel analytical method for the contact stress of ball cage flexible...

A theoretical study of atmospheric pollutant NO₂ on as-doped monolayer WS₂ based on DFT method

For the relevant properties of pristine and doped (Si, P, Se, Te, As) monolayer WS₂ before and after the adsorption of CO, CO₂, N₂, NO, NO₂ and O₂, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are made. Calculation results reveal that the monolayer WS₂ doped with P and As atoms...
