Non-electrically driven samplers, commonly known as passive samplers, are widely used in surface water monitoring to determine the Time-Weighted Average Concentration (CTWA) of contaminants. In this study, we developed an evaporation-driven sampling system and methodology, comprising an Evaporation-Driven Sampler (EDS) for sampling and its standard versio ...

Sensorimotor entrainment, the spontaneous alignment of movement with external rhythms, plays a key role in how we experience music and motion. In this study, we introduce a novel method combining musical stimuli, vection, and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) in virtual reality (VR) to investigate how cross-modal rhythmic stimulation shapes self-mot ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete beams are increasingly used in infrastructure, yet their flexural behavior under fatigue and harsh environmental conditions remains insufficiently studied. This study investigates the fatigue response and structural behavior of 12 glass-FRP (GFRP)-reinforced concrete beams under four environmental regimes ...
