Prediction of impact strength index, slake durability index and Schmidt hammer rebound number from P-wave velocity

open access: yes, 2006
The purpose of this study is to develop statistical relationship between P-wave velocity and other properties like impact strength index, slake durability index and Schmidt hammer rebound number. These are important properties to characterize a rock mass

Breadth at the Helm: Generalist CEOs and Corporate ESG Performance‐Evidence From China

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the Upper Echelons Theory and the Imprinting Theory, this study conjectures that generalist CEOs may have a stronger tendency to pursue environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. We perform multiple regression analyses with observations of Shanghai and Shenzhen A‐share listed companies from 2010 to 2023 in order to explore ...

Utility and Emotion: A Combined Economic‐Psychological Approach to Understanding Consumer Preferences for Social Farming Products

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTSocial farming integrates agricultural activities with social and rehabilitative functions, offering significant benefits to communities. However, its economic sustainability depends, among other factors, on consumer acceptance and willingness to pay a premium for its products.

Correlation Of Schmidt Hammer Rebound Numbers And Knocking Ball Stiffness Parameters For Sedimentary And Metasedimentary Rocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
One of the most important rock properties is intact rock strength. The strength of an intact rock block material is determined by intact rock strength, which influences a fraction of the strength of a rock mass.

Acoustic‐driven surface cleaning with millimeter‐sized bubbles at translational resonance

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse visualization comparing bubble trajectories. The top panel (0 Hz) shows a bubble's linear path under no acoustic forcing, while the bottom panel (50 Hz) demonstrates the oscillatory motion induced by acoustic waves at a resonance mode. This mechanism holds promising potential for applications such as surface cleaning.

Dynamics of cavitation bubbles in a liquid layer

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
The dynamics of cavitation bubbles within a liquid layer is studied experimentally. Due to the combined effect of the rigid wall and free surface, the bubbles exhibit a significant downward migration. The confinement effect of the rigid wall significantly affects the bubble's collapse morphology, leading to different post‐collapse phenomena of free ...

Strength- and Moisture-Related Studies of Historical Building Materials: A Case Study from Southern Estonia

open access: yesBuildings
Demolition of existing buildings turns building products into waste. The amount of demolition waste is increasing globally. The current case study is an example of fulfilling the EU Waste Framework Directive of reducing demolition waste by reuse of ...

Development of rating curves for concrete rebound hammer on concrete specimens from local aggregates

open access: yes, 1957
Frequently engineers find it imperative to determine the compressive strength of concrete as it exists in a structure. There are two methods of making this determination, either by a destructive or a non-destructive test.
