In this work, we discuss the development of a bridge weigh-in-motion (WIM) algorithm to predict axle weights to within 1% for +/-1 x 10-6m measurement noise. WIM systems that use bridges as scales are already in limited ...
Factors influencing rates and products in the transformation of carbon tetrachloride by zerovalent iron metal
(2003)
Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of iron purity and
