Liu, Zhihui (author), Wang, Li (author), Kong, Fanlei (author), Huang, Xia (author), Tang, Zhi (author), He, Shi (author), Vink, P. (author)BACKGROUND: Many occupations require workers to stand for prolonged periods, which can cause discomfort, pain and even injures. Some supermarkets in life provide a foot pad for checkout staff to let them stand on it at work, thereby reducing standing fatigue caused by standing for a long time. The inclined platform is the same as the foot pad...journal article 2021

Morphodynamic modeling the impact of large-scale embankment on the large bar in a convergent estuaryXie, Dongfeng (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Huang, Junbao (author)Many alluvial estuaries worldwide include an inside bar system, a large sediment deposit deeply stretched into the estuary. A good example of such a system is the large sediment deposit in the Qiantang Estuary, China. Its length and height reach 130 km and 10 m, respectively. Bathymetrical comparison reveals that the large bar has moved seaward...journal article 2021

Lin, P. (author), Huang, Weidong (author), Liu, X. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Wang, H. (author), Yan, Chuanqi (author)One of the most widely used polymer-based modifiers in asphalt binders is styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS), which results in binders of increased modulus, strength, toughness, and resistance to permanent deformation. These properties are further improved with the increase of SBS polymer content in asphalt binders, producing binders such as high...journal article 2020
