Abstract Within the KONATES project, a pilot system was set up in the Science Park in Leipzig to investigate the feasibility of combining Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) with groundwater remediation. Along with the...

Abstract Water-based lubrication is an effective method to achieve superlubricity, which implies a friction coefficient in the order of 10−3 or lower. Recent numerical, analytical, and experimental studies confirm that...

This study is devoted to a dual-mode fractal radiator with a modified topology. Its key feature is the ability to alter end-wall orientation via gear engagement between wall-mounted gears and discrete positioning wheels....

Context. Co-orbital objects, also known as Trojans, are celestial bodies that share a 1:1 mean motion resonance orbit with a planet. Many planets in our Solar System hold Trojans, yet none has been confirmed in exoplanet...

Large fractures tend to dominate the hydraulic and mechanical properties of fracture networks and, consequently, of fractured rock masses. Hence, their characterization is of primary interest in a variety of applications...

The centrifugal model tests and finite element models are conducted to investigate the influences of excavation of underground carvens on surface buildings. The time-history curves of index points and the settlement curv...

Having in mind its future extension for theoretical investigations related to charmed nuclei, we develop a relativistic formalism for the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) of single-λ hypernuclei in the framework of the inde...

We study the structural properties of networks formed by random sets of bit strings—namely the ordered arrays of binary variables representing, for instance, genetic information or cultural profiles. Two bit strings ar...

Abstract The Boreal Summer Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) is a prominent tropical intraseasonal variability during summer. It propagates northeastward from the northern Indian Ocean to the western North Pacific and ha...

"The use of information measures for model selection in geophysical models with subgrid parameterizations is examined. Although the resolved dynamical equations of atmospheric or oceanic global numerical models are well ...

Abstract A high-precision evaluation of ultrasonic detection sensitivity for a micro-crack can be restricted by a corroded rough surface when the surface microtopography is of the same order of magnitude as the crack dep...

Quantum photonic integrated circuits, composed of linear-optical elements, offer an efficient way for encoding and processing quantum information on-chip. At their core, these circuits rely on reconfigurable phase shifte...

"The placement of obstacles in front of doors is believed to be an effective strategy to increase the flow of pedestrians, hence improving the evacuation process. Since it was first suggested, this counterintuitive featu...

Core-collapse supernova remnants (CCSNRs) are crucial for understanding the final stages of massive star evolution, as they reflect the imprints of their progenitors’ preexplosion activities. However, the evolution of ...

Abstract Submesoscale eddies (those smaller than 50 km) are ubiquitous throughout the ocean, as revealed by satellite infrared images. Diagnosing their impact on ocean energetics from observations remains a challenge. T...

Advanced geological prediction is one essential part in tunnel construction, and 3D E-SCAN resistivity device is introduced. In this device, the current and measuring electrodes are arranged on the tunnel face, which can...

Several studies have reported about sustainability issues of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) due to a mismatch between assets and liabilities. Despite these studies, no study has worked on the asset and liabili...

Abstract This study presents a novel hybrid methodology combining machine learning (ML) with conventional reservoir simulation to optimize waterflooding in the geologically complex Bahariya Formation, Western Desert, Egy...

Based on recent psychometric developments, this paper presents a conceptual and practical guide for estimating internal consistency reliability of measures obtained as item sum or mean. The internal consistency reliabili...

Knowledge of and the ability to predict lifting condensation levels (LCL) is important ingredient in weather predictions, cloud formation, planetary albedo and Earth’s energy balance. It is also essential topic in avia...

Abstract This study presents an integrated numerical and experimental investigation of the aerodynamic performance of the Archimedes Spiral Wind Turbine (ASWT) under wind speeds ranging from 5 to 10 m/s. The analyses wer...

"Discrete Fracture and Matrix (DFM) models describe fractured porous media as complex sets of 2D planar polygons embedded in a 3D matrix representing the surrounding porous medium. The numerical simulation of the flow in...

Abstract In order to address health monitoring issues on offshore wind turbines, while taking into account engineering know-how and constraints, we propose a robust model identification procedure based on reliability of ...

Abstract A comparative description is made of the measurements at LHC of pp elastic scattering at 13 TeV by the ATLAS and TOTEM Collaborations. In the total and differential cross sections we show that the differences ar...
