Performance Measures for Pavement Assets under Performance Based Contracts

, 2015
Over the past decade, there has been a movement in North America towards Performance Based Contracts (PBC). In PBCs, the client agency specifies defined minimum performance measures to be met or exceeded during the contract period. PBC operates through a

A Miniaturized Autonomous Thermomagnetic Generator

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Micro, autonomous and high power thermomagnetic generator operating between a heat dissipator and a processor. ABSTRACT Thermomagnetic generators (TMG) are promising devices for converting low‐grade waste heat into electricity. Self‐actuation using permanent magnets is the key to autonomy.

Evaluating Roadway Subsurface Drainage Practices: TR-643, 2013 [PDF]

, 2013
The bearing capacity and service life of a pavement is affected adversely by the presence of undrained water in the pavement layers. In cold winter climates like in Iowa, this problem is magnified further by the risk of frost damage when water is present.

Selenium‐Integrated Cyanine Dye With Enhanced Photophysical Properties for Optoacoustic‐Guided Cancer Imaging and Therapy

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces selenium‐integrated cyanine dye (Se‐Cyn), with superior photostability, absorption, and photothermal efficiency, outperforming ICG in NIR window. Its nanoparticle form remains stable in water, accumulates in tumors, and enables strong optoacoustic imaging and effective phototherapy outcomes.

Thermal and Flood Resiliency Evaluation of Rigid Pavement Using Various Pavement Characteristics

CivilEng
Temperature variations have a significant impact on the performance and durability of rigid (concrete) pavement. As concrete is subjected to daily and seasonal temperature changes, it experiences thermal expansion and contraction. These movements, if not

Beyond Primary Nucleation: Molecular Basis of Peptide Crystal Secondary Nucleation at Soft Interface

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High spatiotemporal‐resolution atomic force microscopy directly resolved peptide secondary nucleation (SN) and growth characteristics and mechanisms on HOPG. The landscape of peptide nucleation sites, growth dynamics, molecular‐scale structures, phase transitions, and cross‐seeding processes were realized.
