Abstract This work presents the design and application of a low-cycle reciprocating loading test on 23 recycled aggregate concrete-filled steel tube columns 3 ordinary columns. Additionally, systematic study influence various parameters (e.g., slenderness ratio, axial compression etc.) was conducted seismic performance specimens. The results show that all specimens have good hysteresis similar development trend skeleton curve. ratio index is more significant than pipe wall thickness....
Abstract Recent developments in antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have focused on the rational design of short sequences with less than 20 amino acids due to their relatively low synthesis costs and ease correlation structure‐function relationship. However, gaps remain understanding how cationic AMPs interact bacterial outer inner membranes affect efficacy dynamic killing. The membrane‐lytic actions two designed AMPs, G(IIKK) 3 I‐NH 2 (G ) 4 ), previously‐studied controls GLLDLLKLLLKAAG‐NH...
Many studies have analyzed the road characteristics that affect severity of truck crashes. However, most these only examined alignment or grade separately, without considering their combined effects. The purpose this article is to address gap in literature. Our study uses crash data from 2015 2019 on freeways Yunnan Province China, where levels crashes were determined by taking into account economic loss and number injuries fatalities. develops three models examine crashes: a multinomial...
The main aim of this study was to propose a comprehensive risk indicator identify the potential driving caused by changing environment at tunnel entrance. Driving decisions are affected many external factors, especially entrance tunnels. However, indicators mostly considering vehicle movement status currently. In study, safe field model including obstacle field, and lighting is constructed evaluate influence roads, drivers, vehicles, change conditions on risk. Furthermore, distribution its...
Overloaded transport can certainly improve transportation efficiency and reduce operating costs. Nevertheless, several negative consequences are associated with this illegal activity, including road subsidence, bridge collapse, serious casualties caused by accidents. Given the complexity variability of mountainous highways, study examines 1862 overloaded-truck-related crashes that happened in Yunnan Province, China, attempts to analyze key factors contributing injury severity. This is first...
Hydrophobins, a new class of potential protein emulsifiers, have been extensively employed in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. However, knowledge underlying molecular mechanism adsorption at oil–water interface remains elusive. In this study, all-atom dynamics simulations were performed to probe orientation conformation change II hydrophobin HFBI cyclohexane–water interface. It was proposed that hydrophobic dipole could be used quantitatively predict adsorbed HFBI....
DPD simulations were adopted to study the pH- and salt-responsiveness of nanopores modified by zwitterionic PCBMA brushes, in which switching can be modulated grafting density chain length brushes.
Car following is the most common driving behavior in tunnels. However, current car-following models are not completely suitable for tunnels because they do take into account environmental factors affecting vehicles In this paper, we present a comprehensive risk-based model to describe freeway Considering key influencing tunnels, develop safety field (CSF), which consists of potential, kinetic, and environment fields estimate effect speed limit signs, leading vehicles, lighting conditions on...
The flexural and durability performance of reinforced ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beam structures is expected to improve if the steel bars are replaced with carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) high tensile strength corrosion resistance. Nevertheless, interfacial bond characteristics between CFRP UHPFRC may deteriorate when subjected elevated ambient temperatures during service. To investigate bond–slip behavior embedded in at temperature, a series direct...
The entrances of tunnels are generally considered to be accident-prone locations, and accidents related this area mainly include rear-end sideswipe crashes, which also associated with lane-changing behaviours. Despite the extensive literature on safety lane-changing, little attention has been given behaviours in front tunnel entrance. To end, study investigates contributing factors potential risk status taking into account scenarios distance entrances. Vehicular trajectory data adjacent...
Underground loops, which are characterized by multiple access points (APs) and an enclosed environment, present unique driving safety challenges. This study investigated the impact of AP densities on in underground loops. We conducted field tests utilizing four conditions (7, 9, 12, 14 APs/km) collected data drivers' operational performance visual characteristics. To analyze differences behavior across these conditions, one-way repeated measures ANOVA was applied. Additionally, a...
Expressway lane change is challenging. Particularly, the improper in off-ramp may not only disrupt normal traffic flow, but increase risk of accidents. The emerging technology connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) provides opportunities to mitigate this challenge through cooperation among neighbor vehicles. Existing research has investigated cooperative shown some evidences safety efficiency enhancements. However, few them consider mixed scenarios with CAVs human-driven (HDVs) coexistence,...
Objective In the freeway tunnel approach section, lane-changing behaviors and transitions in driving environment exacerbate traffic flow disruptions, increase risks, lead to a higher accident rate. To this end, study presents method explore risk evolution process of these sections evaluate its impact on operations surrounding vehicles.
