Analysis of the statistical significance of the pit depth and area values measured, based on a methodology developed using advanced imaging analysis, indicate that degradation of the steel bars embedded in concrete produced a more severe pitting corrosion in terms of depth of pitting, compared to the steel samples directly exposed to the same corrosive medium, for the same (on average) mass loss.
The methodology developed uses mixed methods and includes observations and clocking of specific tasks, compilation of standardised data from TB registers and reports, structured interviews with patients and health staff and semi-structured interviews.
A novel in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM), high frequency fatigue testing methodology is developed using a combination of laser milling, focused ion beam fabrication and nanoindentation.
A new concept of reference-free damage detection methodology is developed using transfer impedances to detect crack damage in a plate-like structure without using previously collected baseline data.
An automatic boiling water reactor (BWR) loading pattern (LP) design methodology was developed using the rank-based ant system (RAS), which is a variant of the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm.
In this paper, a methodology is developed using the Process Chain Analysis (PCA) approach to quantify the impacts of the changes in the selected design parameters on the life cycle carbon emission factor of nuclear power.
Our current methodology was developed using bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, housed at the National Aquarium, Baltimore (USA), from which we were able to collect both blow and blood samples in order to ground-truth our study.
Our current methodology was developed using six bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, housed at the National Aquarium, Baltimore (USA), from which we were able to collect both blow and blood samples.
The methodology was developed using a glutamine synthetase Chinese hamster ovary cell line cultured at 5-L and 70-L scales.
A methodology was developed using the NLCD-2001 LCLU grids over the study area to delineate rural, suburban, and urban zones and resample to a 1-km grid.
