Abstract Subgrades of expansive nature are one of the main causes of damage to road network in Australia. Consequently, lime stabilization has been widely used to reduce the swell- shrink potential of these types of soils and thus reduce the associated damage. After sta...

Abstract Among other results, we prove that if a dual Banach space E has the weak⁎ fixed point property, then E has the weak⁎ fixed point property for commuting separable semitopological semigroups of nonexpansive mappings and study the existence of ergodic retractions ...

AbstractThe heat transfer and fluid flow over a flat tube in the channel with laminar forced convection is experimentally investigated. The experiments were conducted at a flat tube in the flow direction, the five air velocity between 0.2 and1.0m/s, and Reynolds number ...

A popular view of what Artificial Intelligence can do for lawyers is that it can do no more than deduce the consequences from a precisely stated set of facts and legal rules. This immediately makes many lawyers sceptical about the usefulness of such systems: this mechan...

Abstract Over the past decade, Kurdistan region has faced rapid increase in residential buildings. Unfortunately, lack of awareness and absence of building regulations have led to dismay a sense of identity and created an unsustainable built environment. Sustainable des...

AbstractWe study basic properties of monomial ideals with linear quotients. It is shown that if the monomial ideal I has linear quotients, then the squarefree part of I and each component of I as well as mI have linear quotients, where m is the graded maximal ideal of t...

AbstractBiological precipitation of metallic contaminants has been explored as a remedial technology for contaminated groundwater systems. However, metal toxicity and availability limit the activity and remedial potential of bacteria. We report the ability of a bacteriu...

Abstract Algebras with two commuting involutions are represented as commutants of one-generated ♢ - □ -subalgebras of algebras of vector-space endomorphisms where ♢ and □ are involutions of a prefixed type.

Abstract The thermal evaporation system type (Edwards) has been used to evaporate high purity (99.9%) silver on quartz and (n-type) silicon substrates at room temperature under low pressure (about10-6torr) for different thickness (50, 100, and 150) nm. Using a rapid the...
