selected as Japanese national treasure. However, most ...
[EN] In this numerical study, 4 types of hybrid nanofluid, including Ag-MgO/water, TiO2-Cu/water, Al2O3-CuO/water, and Fe3O4-multi-wall carbon nanotube/water, have been considered potential working fluid in a single U-tube ...
[EN] Background and objectives: Thermal ablation of tumors plays a key role to fight cancer, since it is a minimally invasive treatment which involves some advantages compared to surgery and chemotherapy, such as shorter ...
Dam safety based on risk analysis methodologies demand quantification of the risk of the dam-reservoir system. This means that, for a given initial state of the system, and for the several failure modes considered, it is ...
The Mancha Oriental System (MOS, 7,260 km2) is one of the largest aquifers within Spain, and is encompassed by the Jucar River Basin. Over the past 30 years, socioeconomic development within the region has been largely due ...
[EN] With bore fields for energy extraction and injection, it is often necessary to predict the temperature response to heat loads for many years ahead. Mathematical methods, both analytical and numerical, with different ...
[EN] Chlorpyrifos, Bromacil and Terbuthylazine are commonly used as insecticides and herbicides to control weeds and prevent non-desirable growth of algae, fungi and bacteria in many agricultural applications. Despite their ...
