Patch repair technology with sacrificial zinc anodes in RC slabs with corroded steel bars by Christian, Alvin

“…Two RC slabs have sacrificial anodes installed in the patch work area with one slab having a single 300 mm × 50 mm × 10 mm zinc plate placed in the centre of the patch work, while the other slab having twelve 25 mm × 50 mm × 10 mm zinc plates spread evenly within the patch work. The last RC slab would have twelve 25 mm × 50 mm × 10 mm zinc plates installed within the corroded area surrounding the patch work area. …”

Impact of interannual and multidecadal trends on methane-climate feedbacks and sensitivity by Cheng, Chin-Hsien, Redfern, Simon Anthony Turner

“…We estimate the causal contributions of spatiotemporal changes in temperature (T) and precipitation (Pr) to changes in Earth's atmospheric methane concentration (CCH4) and its isotope ratio δ13CH4 over the last four decades. We identify oscillations between positive and negative feedbacks, showing that both contribute to increasing CCH4. …”

FPGA-based multi-rate system design : Avalon Interface vs.Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous approach by Zou, You.

“…It has been found that the Altera SOPC Builder approach outweighs the GALS (plausible clock) approach obviously in terms of the design efforts, throughput (29.3% higher) and area (37% smaller); however, the GALS (plausible clock) approach consumes less power by an insignificant amount (4.85% less) with a slightly smaller latency (5.7% smaller). At last, based on the comparison of the two systems, it is concluded that in spite of low design flexibility and some other limitations, SOPC Builder fits best in the circumstances of developing robust DSP systems in a short design period. …”
