Oxidation of 4-Chlorophenol by Mesoporous Titania: Effect of Surface Morphological Characteristics by Osmín Avilés-García, Jaime Espino-Valencia, Rubí Romero, José Luis Rico-Cerda, Reyna Natividad

“…The drying rate was used as a key synthesis parameter to increase the average pore diameter. The resultant mesoporous crystalline phases exhibited specific surface areas between 55 and 150 m2 g−1, average unimodal pore sizes of about 3.4 to 5.6 nm, and average crystallite size of around 7 to 13 nm. …”

Crack initiation life in notched Ti-6Al-4V titanium bars under uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue: synthesis based on the averaged strain energy density approach by Giovanni Meneghetti, Alberto Campagnolo, Filippo Berto, Keisuke Tanaka

“…Doing so, the effect of extrinsic mechanisms operating during crack propagation phase, such as sliding contact, friction and meshing between fracture surfaces, is expected to be reduced. The experimental fatigue test results have been re-analysed by using the local strain energy density (SED) averaged over a structural volume having radius R0 and surrounding the notch tip. …”

Study on the effect of underlying surface changes on runoff generation in the urbanized watershed by Yunqiu Jiang, Lichun Wang, Tianning Xie, Runxi Li, Kejia Wen, Chengshuai Liu, Caihong Hu

“…Taking the control watershed of Jialu River at Zhongmou station (including the central city of Zhengzhou) as the study area, on the basis of GRGM model tests based on 11 observed rainfall-runoff events, the spatial and temporal evolution of runoff components in the study area from 1980 to 2020 and their correlation with the underlying surface changes are explored. The study reveals that: (a) the average relative error of the runoff generation calculation by GRGM model in the study area is reduced by 27.76% and the average coefficient of determination is increased by 0.11 compared with Horton Infiltration (HI) model, which means GRGM model are more accurate. …”
