Effects of deep excavation on pile behaviour by Vindy

“…This report will focus on the effect of deep excavation on adjacent pile behaviour.Parametric studies using plane strain and three-dimensional finite element analyses programs, PLAXIS 2D and PLAXIS 3D Foundation are carried out to investigate the various aspects that influence the pile responses such as the effect of wall stiffness (flexible, medium and stiff walls), pile diameter (0.6 m and 1 m diameter), distance from pile to the primary wall (1 m and 5 m), and undrained shear strength of the soil which is assumed to increase linearly with depth of excavation. …”

The role of hydrodynamic conditions and pH on algal-rich water fouling of ultrafiltration by Zhang, Yan., Tang, Chuyang Y., Li, Guibai.

“…This paper also studied an important consideration of aeration in algal fouling: shear force. Besides alleviating membrane fouling, the shear produced by the bubbling should take responsible for the breakup of cells and the release of intracellular organic matters which caused the rate of the TMP increase closed to that without aeration. …”

Understanding Public and Nonprofit Managers' Motivation Through the Lens of Self-Determination Theory by Chen, Chung-An, Bozeman, Barry

“…The findings show that public managers exhibit stronger service motivation, identified motivation, external motivation, and amotivation when compared to their nonprofit peers. In addition, public managers' strong external motivation and amotivation compromise their overall level of self-determination, suggesting that they may be less motivated by their work requirements than are nonprofit counterparts.…”

Dynamic response of magnetic skyrmions in multilayer heterostructures by Satywali, Bhartendu

“…The field and frequency-sweep FMR measurements reveal two distinct resonant modes originating from skyrmions: a low frequency (LF) resonance exhibiting a steep proportionality to the external out-of-plane magnetic field (H), and a high frequency (HF) resonance which is less sensitive to variations in H. …”

Microfiltration of oil emulsions stabilized by different surfactants by Trinh, Thien An, Han, Qi, Ma, Yunqiao, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Two key understanding on the correlation between the DLVO and XDLVO predictions with flux and fouling were obtained. Firstly, the steep flux enhancement vis-à-vis a DI water feed by the feed containing CTAB-stabilized oil emulsion was tied to the attractive interaction of the surfactant with the membrane, as evident from the DLVO model. …”
