Large displacement FEM modelling of the cone penetration test (CPT) in normally consolidated sand
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-06)
A new finite element model based on a large strain formulation has been developed to study cone penetration in normally consolidated sand. An auto-adaptive remeshing technique was utilized for handling the very large ...
Substituent effects on the oxidation of substituted biphenyl congeners by type II methanotroph strain CSC1
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-05)
The oxidation potential of type II groundwater methanotroph, strain CSC1, expressing soluble methane monooxygenase, was measured in the presence of 10 ortho -substituted biphenyls with varying electronics, sterics, and ...
Characterization of a Mixed Methanotrophic Culture Capable of Chloroethylene Degradation
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2005-03-01)
A consortium of methanotrophs cultured from the St. Joseph's aquifer in Schoolcraft, MI, was found to exhibit similar methane consumption rates as pure cultures of methanotrophs. The methanotrophic consortium resides within ...
Frost heave modelling using porosity rate function
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006)
Frost-susceptible soils are characterized by their sensitivity to freezing that is manifested in heaving of the ground surface. While significant contributions to explaining the nature of frost heave in soils were published ...
