[EN] To increase the speed and efficiency of expressways construction, information management is being gradually introduced into the construction process. However, progress is limited due to the complexity of expressway ...
[EN] With the rapid development of new technologies, such as big data, the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent sensing, the traditional asphalt pavement construction quality evaluation method has been unable to meet ...
[EN] Although transportation infrastructure promotes the continuous development of the world economy, it is also responsible for serious pollution problems. These are studied in the analysis of five transportation ...
[EN] There are few studies analysing whether different types of environmental regulation have differential impacts on the efficiency of the construction industry. Using 2012¿2016 panel data from 30 provinces in China, the ...
[EN] In China and other countries, many highway projects are built in extensive and high-altitude flat areas called plateaus. However, research on how the materialisation of these projects produce a series of ecological ...
[EN] Coupled shear walls are widely used in high rise buildings, since they can not only provide efficient lateral stiffness but also behave outstanding energy dissipation ability especially for earthquake-resistance. ...
We find expressions for many types of generalized inverses of an arbitrary square
complex matrix by using two representations given in [Benítez J. A new decomposition

[EN] Most construction managers use deterministic scheduling techniques to plan construction projects and estimate their duration. However, deterministic techniques are known to underestimate the project duration. Alternative ...
[EN] The study of heterostructured materials (HSMs) answered one of the most pressing questions in the metallurgical
field: ¿is it possible to greatly increase both the strength and the strain hardening, to avoid the ...
[EN] Complex workflow applications are widely used in scientific computing and economic analysis, which commonly include both preemptive and non-preemptive tasks. Cloud computing provides a convenient way for users to ...
[EN] Science and Technology Innovation Communities (STICs) are student-led partnerships that bring together businesses, research centres, and university staff. They constitute an effective way of promoting student innovation ...
Let R be a ring and a, b is an element of R satisfy aba = a and bab = b. We characterize when ab - ba is invertible. This study is specialized when R has an involution and when b is the Moore-Penrose inverse of a.
