EVALUATION OF THE LOW-TEMPERATURE CRACKING PERFORMANCE OF RECYCLED ASPHALT MIXTURE: A DEVELOPMENT OF EQUIVALENT FRACTURE TEMPERATURE

Evaluation of the Low-Temperature Cracking Performance of Recycled Asphalt Mixture: A Development of Equivalent Fracture Temperature

This study aims to develop a new index to evaluate the low-temperature cracking performance (LTCP) of recycled asphalt mixtures.To achieve this, the assumption that fracture energy has limitation in evaluating the LTCP of mixtures was put forward firstly.To reveal this limitation theoretically, a concept of energy absorption rate that characterized

Ubiquitous dissolved inorganic carbon assimilation by marine bacteria in the Pacific Northwest coastal ocean as determined by stable isotope probing.

In order to identify bacteria that assimilate dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the northeast Pacific Ocean, stable isotope probing (SIP) experiments were conducted on water collected from 3 different sites off the Oregon and Washington coasts in May 2010, and one site off the Oregon Coast in September 2008 and March 2009.Samples were incubated i

Comparison of Conversational Corpus and News Corpus on Gender Bias in Indonesian-English Transformer Model Translation

Gender bias in machine translation is a significant issue that affects text translation and gender perception, often leading to misunderstandings, such as the tendency to default to using male pronouns.For example, the word "dia" in Indonesian is often translated as "he" rather than "she," even when the context suggests otherwise, as seen in the ca

Numerical Analysis of Air Flow in Dichotomous Respiratory Channel with Asymmetric Compliance under HFOV Condition

Gas flow in high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was numerically investigated.This artificial respiration technique has features of low tidal volume and high frequency.Although molecular diffusion appears to be influential in gas transports at lower airways, the effect of flow convection never vanishes.The present paper is aimed to discuss
