Characteristics Regarding Lift-Off Intersection of Pulse-Modulation Eddy Current Signals for Evaluation of Hidden Thickness Loss in Cladded Conductors [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 The cladded conductor is broadly utilized in engineering fields, such as aerospace, energy, and petrochemical; however, it is vulnerable to thickness loss occurring in the clad layer and nonconductive protection coating due to abrasive and corrosive ...

Age Influences Loss Aversion Through Effects on Posterior Cingulate Cortical Thickness
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Decision-making strategies shift during normal aging and can profoundly affect wellbeing. Although overweighing losses compared to gains, termed “loss aversion,” plays an important role in choice selection, the age trajectory of this effect and how it ...

Change in brain volume and cortical thickness after behavioral and surgical weight loss intervention
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019 Obesity is associated with reduced cortical thickness and brain volume, which may be related to poor nutrition. Given that brain atrophy in anorexia nervosa recovers with nutritional improvements and weight gain, it is worth examining how brain structure

Small Ultrasound-Based Corrosion Sensor for Intraday Corrosion Rate Estimation
Sensors, 2022 The conventional way of studying corrosion in marine environments is by installing corrosion coupons. Instead, this paper presents an experimental field study using an unattended corrosion sensor developed on the basis of ultrasound (US) technology to ...

Ultrasound-Based Smart Corrosion Monitoring System for Offshore Wind Turbines
Applied Sciences, 2022 The ultrasound technique is a well-known non-destructive and efficient testing method for on-line corrosion monitoring. Wall thickness loss rate is the major parameter that defines the corrosion process in this approach.

Comparison of Multi-criteria Decision Making Methods for Selection of Handmade Carpets
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Selecting the best carpet from a set of available alternatives for a particular end-use situation is a difficult job because of association with multiple decision criteria. Three multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, i.e., weighted sum model (WSM)

Mass Balances of a Drained and a Rewetted Peatland: on Former Losses and Recent Gains
Soil Systems, 2020 Drained peatlands are important sources of greenhouse gases and are rewetted to curb these emissions. We study one drained and one rewetted fen in terms of losses—and, after rewetting—gains of organic matter (OM), carbon (C), and peat ...
