In this paper, a new model is proposed to describe the coupled transport of ionic species and ionic solution in
unsaturated concrete. The main difference between the present model and most existing models is the inclusion of
osmotic effect due to s... Read More about Modelling of chloride penetration in unsaturated concrete.

Low mislabeling rates indicate marked improvements in European seafood market operations (2015)
Journal Article
operations. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 13(10), 536-540. https://doi.org/10.1890/150119

Over the span of a decade, genetic identification methods have progressively exposed the inadequacies of the
seafood supply chain, revealing previously unrecognized levels of seafood fraud, raising awareness among the
public, and serving as a warni... Read More about Low mislabeling rates indicate marked improvements in European seafood market operations.

A novel neural computing model for fast predicting network traffic (2015)
