On the setting of environmental noise and the performance of population dynamical models [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Environmental noise is ubiquitous in population growth processes, with a well acknowledged potential to affect populations regardless of their sizes. It therefore deserves consideration in population dynamics modelling.

Pro-inflammatory effects of crystalline- and nano-sized non-crystalline silica particles in a 3D alveolar model

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2020
Background Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are among the most widely manufactured and used nanoparticles. Concerns about potential health effects of SiNPs have therefore risen. Using a 3D tri-culture model of the alveolar lung barrier we examined effects of

A Strain Rate-Dependent Damage Evolution Model for Concrete Based on Experimental Results

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021
There are various definitions of damage variables from the existing damage models. The calculated damage value by the current methods still could not well correspond to the actual damage value.

Soundscapes and environmental noise management

, 2010
Despite the current expansion of interest in soundscapes, the roles and application of the concept, vis-୶is that of environmental noise management, have not been adequately articulated. Soundscapes and environmental noise management are complementary,

Quantitative Evaluation for Reinforcement Effect of Auxiliary Steel Beams Based on Running Safety and Dynamic Response

Shock and Vibration, 2021
Aiming at the existing heavy-haul railway, bridges hardly meet the transportation requirements. Based on the spatial vibration calculation model of the freight train–track–bridge (FTTB) system, the FTTB spatial vibration model under the condition of ...
