Sub-Rectangular Tunnel Behavior under Seismic Loading by Van Vi Pham, Ngoc Anh Do, Daniel Dias

“…Circular and rectangular tunnel shapes are usually chosen when excavating at shallow depths in urban areas. However, special-shaped tunnels such as sub-rectangular tunnels have recently been used to overcome some drawbacks of circular and rectangular tunnels in terms of low space utilization efficiency and stress concentration, respectively. …”

Monogenetic Near‐Island Seamounts in the Galápagos Archipelago by D. M. Schwartz, V. D. Wanless, S. A. Soule, M. D. Schmitz, M. D. Kurz

“…Variations in seamount chemistry from alkalic to tholeiitic near Fernandina support the concept that islands along the center of the hotspot track undergo greater mean depths of melting, as predicted by plume theory. Patterns of geochemical and isotopic enrichment of seamounts within each region support fine‐scale mantle heterogeneities in the mantle plume sourcing the Galápagos hotspot.…”

Evaluation of gamma-ray buildup factors for some waste paper and natural rubber composites by M. A. El-Sarraf, A. A. El-Sayed Abdo

“…The deduced parameters of photon interaction: equivalent atomic number Zeq, exposure buildup factor and energy absorption buildup factor have been studied as a function of incident photon energy, WP/NR elemental composition, and for penetration depths, up to 40 mean free path. The Zeq numbers have shown slight variation over the selected incident energy range and buildup factors were found to be modest at low and high photon energy meanwhile their values increase widely over the intermediate energy region. …”
