Abstract On the centennial of higher education in Chemical Engineering in Mexico, it is pertinent to revisit the key stages that have contributed to its consolidation as a vital discipline for the nation's scientific and technological advancement. Although the initial mission of chemical engineering education was primarily oriented toward the training ...

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

ABSTRACT Integrating distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data with numerical simulations to analyze inter‐well interference and production responses remains challenging. This study employs a coupled thermal–hydraulic–mechanical simulation framework to model heat transfer, fluid flow, and geomechanical responses ...

Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance of Underwater Swarms Based on Relative Visual Feedback
ABSTRACT Underwater multi‐robot and swarm systems require advanced methodologies for controlling collective behavior. Conventional single‐robot techniques, such as tethering, sonar imaging, and acoustic localization, are not scalable or effective for swarm applications.

Abstract Water is essential for life, and effective hydrological management is crucial for economic stability and quality of life. Poor water resource governance can lead to scarcity, displacement, or even fatal consequences. Hydrological conditions in East Africa are influenced by drivers such as demographic expansion, industrialization, droughts, and

Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

Behavior of exterior beam‐column joint reinforced with shape memory alloy
Abstract Beam‐column joints are critical regions in moment‐resisting frames and are particularly susceptible to severe stress concentrations and reinforcement congestion. Conventional design typically relies on dense transverse reinforcement to improve joint performance, resulting in construction difficulties and reinforcement congestion.

Abstract Simplified closed‐form equations are commonly used in structural design to prevent punching shear failures of concrete flat slabs supported on columns in permanent and transient situations, whereas more advanced methods are generally used in verifications at accidental design situations due to the lack of suitable equivalent approaches ...
