To investigate the influence of intersection structures on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of rock materials, a series of uniaxial compression tests on complete red sandstone specimens and specimens with various hole shapes (T-shape, cross-shape, and shaft-roadway-shape) were conducted by the Instron 1346 servo-controlled rock mech
This paper deals with some issues related to optimal operation of microgrids, which are a group of loads, generators and energy storage systems that can be managed isolated Upholstered Benches or connected to the main grid, in a coordinated way in order to reliably supply electricity.The control problems and solution are addressed both for optimal
Background.Roach, Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758), is an omnivorous fish species that is able to utilise a range of food resources.Both juvenile and older roach can negatively affect zooplankton abundance in freshwater bodies of water; hence populations are often reduced (biomanipulated) in order to increase zooplankton populations.The aim of this
Hydrogels have been widely used in various Upholstered Benches biomedical applications, including skin regeneration and tissue repair.However, the capability of certain hydrogels to absorb exudate or blood from surrounding wounds, coupled with the challenge in their long-term storage to prevent bacterial growth, can pose limitations to their effica
