Development of a robust nonlinear pitch angle controller for a redesigned 5MW wind turbine blade tip
(2019-01-23)
Power in wind turbines are traditionally controlled by varying the pitch angle at high wind speeds in region 3 of the wind turbine operation. The pitch angles controllers are normally driven by electrical or hydraulic ...
Developing high performance concrete for precast/prestressed concrete industry
(2019-10-10)
High performance concrete (HPC) is a new class of concrete that has superior characteristics compared to conventional concrete. Despite of its superior characteristics, HPC is not widely used in local and international ...
Continuous drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) in ethanol and agile functionalization through infusion
(2019-01-03)
To explore the possibility of applying organic-solvent drawing technique to accomplish a process of industrial significance, continuous drawing of as-spun PET fibers in ethanol was performed. The formation of multiple ...
Host-specialized fibrinogen-binding by a bacterial surface protein promotes biofilm formation and innate immune evasion
(2019-06)
Fibrinogen is an essential part of the blood coagulation cascade and a major component of the extracellular matrix in mammals. The interface between fibrinogen and bacterial pathogens is an important determinant of the ...

Assessment of Leaf Area Index of Rice for a Growing Cycle Using Multi-Temporal C-Band PolSAR Datasets
(2019-11-12)
C-band polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data has been previously explored
for estimating the leaf area index (LAI) of rice. Although the rice-growing cycle was partially covered in
most of the studies, ...
