Rainfall is a vital climatic factor which can affect the development and progress of a nation. Analysis of rainfall trend plays a major role in studying the impacts of water resources and agriculture activities. Changes ...

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) (also referred to as bio-cementation) is an innovative soil improvement technology, introduced through Bio-mediated Geotechnics. During the process, supplied microorganisms ...

Biocementation technology has recently become a new soil improvement method. In majority of the biocementation processes, the formation of calcium carbonate occurs as the consequence of enzymatic urea hydrolysis, producing ...

The non-linear equations arising in the implementation of implicit Runge-Kutta methods have been solved by various iteration schemes. Several authors have been proposed various iteration schemes with reduced linear algebra ...

Several iteration schemes have been proposed to solve the nonlinear equations arising in the implementation of implicit Runge-Kutta methods. As an alternative to the modified Newton scheme, some iteration schemes with ...

Automatic fetus head’s boundary detection in the ultrasound image is a very challenging task due to the formation of intensity profile of the image. Ultrasound images are mostly affected by speckle noise and does not ...

Goat production is still recognized as a traditional form of livestock production among farmers in Sri Lanka. Biosecurity and animal welfare are one of the main determinants of the quantity and quality of goat production ...

Purpose: Instability of slope surface is a critical concern in Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering. MICP (Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation), an innovative bio-cementation technique, has attracted the attention ...

Formation of the biominerals in living organisms is mainly associated with organic macromolecules. These organic materials play an important role in the nucleation, growth, and morphology controls of the biominerals. Current ...

Formation and deposition of the mineral upon an organic matrix is referred as bio-mineralization. Organic matrix provide a structural framework for the nucleation and growth of the minerals which is mainly consists with ...
