µPIV Measurement of Grease Velocity Profiles
, 2013 Lubricating grease is commonly applied to lubricate e.g. rolling bearings, seals and gears. Grease has some clear advantages over lubricating oil. It is a semi-solid material, which prevents it from flowing/leaking out from the lubricated system and ...

A novel seismic connector for precast concrete shear walls
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract A critical aspect of the seismic performance of precast concrete walls is the deformation capacity of their connections, which can be limited by premature bar fracture, reinforcement buckling, or cyclic instability. This paper introduces and experimentally validates a new ultra‐ductile connector (UltraDC) that provides reliable force transfer ...

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.In this paper, we use Goffman's notion of “face work” to examine how pipeline engineers perform and present their working selves as competent experts. Our analysis identifies various faces and face work tactics, including a focus on professional judgment, actively selling one's expertise relative to others, protective self‐deprecatory strategies, and ...

An Outline of a Theory of Play
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Play is often dismissed as trivial, yet it is a fundamental and adaptive aspect of human and mammalian life. This paper develops a sociological theory of play, treating it as a total social fact that spans biological, psychological, and social dimensions.

Wind Energy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The installed wind energy capacity increases every year. However, operation and maintenance costs still make up a considerable portion of the levelized costs of electricity. This costs can be greatly reduced by the application of suitable early fault detection methods. The supervisory control and data acquisition system of wind turbines is one

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a prevalent chronic condition that can progress to clinically significant liver injury if left untreated. Given its high prevalence, FLD poses a substantial public health burden. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that the appearance of tongue reflects hepatic and metabolic status, enabling artificial ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The detection of partial discharges (PD) on the power transformer tank demands higher sensitivity in ultrasonic detection. To target the detection frequency band for sensor optimisation and enhance sensitivity, this paper presents a dual‐frequency sensitivity model for optical fibre ultrasonic sensors.
