Achieving economic and environmental sustainability with supply chain contracts by Dong, Chuanwen, Li, Dong

“…The entire industry is heavily driven by economies of scale. When more freight is collected in a lane, it can be shifted to a greener transport mode (e.g., from less-than-truckload to full-truckload, and further to rail transport), and costs and emissions are saved. …”

Comparison of specialty optical fiber and conventional fiber for evanescent sensing applications by Nur Dayana Nurbaythi Mohamed Ali.

“…The initial experiments prove that both the conventional multi-mode fiber and the hollow core PCF were reliable and accurate in reproducing consistent readings, with hollow core PCF giving better results which show that hollow core PCF is much more sensitive than conventional multi-mode fiber for evanescent wave sensing. …”

Data-driven integrated approach to airport demand management by Cheung, Wai Lun

“…The investigation then extends to evaluate the improvement in efficiency with a mixed mode of operation over segregated mode. In mixed mode, the number of displaced flights is significantly reduced as compared to the segregated mode operation; the number of flights displaced from all scenarios is 79.6% lower on average. …”

Dynamic fracture mechanics of FRP-concrete interface by Li, Gen

“…Through previous experimental investigations, it was found that FRP-concrete bond interface contains diverse traction-separation performance in mode I and mode II fracture. To continuously describe the fracture behaviour from mode I to mode II under a dynamic loading, current study proposed a coupled dynamic cohesive zone model (CZM) to analyse FRP-concrete mixed-mode separation. …”
