Soil Stabilization against Internal Erosion Using Cement and Fiber-Cement Mixture
(2014-05)
Internal erosion of soil is the main cause of failure in many engineering hydraulic structures especially embankment dams. Understanding the internal erosion behavior and stabilizing the soil against this phenomenon is a ...
Mesoscale Statistics and Scaling Laws in Planar Elastic Checkerboards
(2014-05)
Miniaturization and the need for novel materials with unique properties have driven composite materials to the forefront of research in solid mechanics. The response of a composite microstructure is dependent on the ...

Folding and unfolding in periodic difference equations
(Elseiver, 2014)
Given a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn mod p(xn), where each fj is a continuous interval map, j = 0, 1, . . . , p − 1, we discuss the notion of folding and unfolding related to this type of non-autonomous equations. ...
Investigating the Stability of eLiposomes at Elevated Temperatures
(Sage Publishing, 2014)
eLiposomes encapsulate a perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion droplet inside a liposome. Ultrasound is then used as a trigger mechanism to vaporize the perfluorocarbon, break the liposome, and release the desired drug to the tumor ...
