Comparative study for designing the horizontal thrust blocks in pipelines for water and sewage networks by Osama S. Hussien

“…This type of infrastructure should be installed in bends, dead ends, tees and wyes. Thrust blocks perform the function of transferring thrust force to the ground safely. …”

Reading the tea leaves: Dead transposon copies reveal novel host and transposon biology. by Richard N McLaughlin

“…These spliced LINE-1s (i.e., spliced integrated retrotransposed elements [SpiREs]) lose their ability to replicate, suggesting they are evolutionary dead ends. However, the lethality of this splicing could be an efficient means of blocking continued replication of LINE-1. …”

Obstacles Avoidance for Mobile Robot Using Enhanced Artificial Potential Field by Mustaffa Waad Abbas, Mohamed Jasim Mohamed

“…These secondary forces and modified primary forces are merged to overcomethe drawbacks like dead ends and U shape traps. The proposed algorithm acquirs information of unknown environment by collecting the readings of five infrared sensors with detecting range of 0.8 m. …”

Engineering gene overlaps to sustain genetic constructs in vivo. by Antoine L Decrulle, Antoine Frénoy, Thomas A Meiller-Legrand, Aude Bernheim, Chantal Lotton, Arnaud Gutierrez, Ariel B Lindner

“…In our synthetic constructs, the overlap converts many of the possible mutants into evolutionary dead-ends, reducing the evolutionary potential of the system and thus increasing its stability over time.…”

Structure and stability of the Indian power transmission network by Vedang Tamhane, G Ambika

“…We construct an equivalent model of an exponential network and study its structural changes with changes in two parameters related to redundancy and dead-ends. Then we analyze its stability against cascading failures by varying these two parameters using the link failure model. …”

A Computational Approach to Overtaking Station Track Layout Design Using Graphs: An Extension That Supports Special Turnouts—An Improved Alternative Track Layout Proposal by Eugenio Roanes-Lozano

“…It uses a trick consisting in including virtual vertices in the associated digraph that are dead ends. This way it is possible to include the “special” turnouts in the track layout. …”

Legitimate Peripheral Participation as a Framework for Conversation Analytic Work in Second Language Learning by Gitte Rasmussen Hougaard

“…CA is often resorted to as the key to resolving knots and dead-ends in these neighboring disciplines. Despite the very interesting results that such work admittedly produces, it is too often not accompanied by focused considerations of how the specific concerns from one field match with the aims that CA procedures have been developed for and hence with the procedures themselves. …”

Phylodynamics of the emergence of influenza viruses after cross-species transmission. by Leila Rahnama, Stéphane Aris-Brosou

“…Generally these sporadic events are evolutionary dead-ends, but occasionally, viruses establish themselves in a new host that offers a novel genomic context to which the virus must adjust to avoid attenuation. …”

Inner Experience and Worldly Revolt: Arendt’s Bearings on Kristeva’s Project by Noëlle McAfee

“…Is the only answer to social and political dead ends really found by turning inward? Is the micropolitics of the couch the path to freedom? …”

Between Pleasure and Resistance: The Role of Substance Consumption in an Italian Working-Class Subculture by Matteo Di Placido

“…I discuss how these apparently contrasting lines of inquiry, when jointly used, shed light on different aspects of the cultural practices of specific subcultures contributing to reflect on the study of youth cultures and subcultures in today’s society and overcoming some of the ‘dead ends’ of the opposition between the scholarly categories of subculture and post-subculture. …”

L’expérience scolaire des enfants de réfugiés syriens au cours de l’exil : du transit à la réinstallation by Liyun Wan

“…The obstacles posed by accumulated delays, the language and the contents taught sometimes lead to dead ends. Despite the difficulties, families are also actors who mobilize different resources to ensure that their children continue their education. …”

Catastrophe risk can accelerate unlikely evolutionary transitions by Snyder-Beattie, A, Bonsall, MB

“…Introducing catastrophes or evolutionary dead ends can create situations in which critical steps occur rapidly or in clusters, suggesting that past estimates of the number of critical steps could be underestimated. …”

Progressive Content Generation Based on Cyclic Graph for Generate Dungeon by Muhammad Anshar, Raden Sumiharto, Moh Edi Wibowo

“…This research aims to build dungeon that has not linear and minimal dead ends. To eliminate linearity in dungeons, branching in dungeons needs to be formed. …”

From Many Hosts, One Accidental Pathogen: The Diverse Protozoan Hosts of Legionella by David K. Boamah, Guangqi Zhou, Alexander W. Ensminger, Alexander W. Ensminger, Alexander W. Ensminger, Tamara J. O'Connor

“…Thus, from the pathogen's perspective, interactions with human cells are accidents of time and space—evolutionary dead ends with no impact on Legionella's long-term survival or pathogenic trajectory. …”

Space-time fractional diffusion: transient flow to a line source by Raghavan Rajagopal, Chen Chih

“…Nonlocal diffusion to a line source well is addressed by space-time fractional diffusion to model transients governed by both long-range connectivity and distorted flow paths that result in interruptions in the geological medium as a consequence of intercalations, dead ends, etc. The former, superdiffusion, results in long-distance runs and the latter, subdiffusion, in pauses. …”

A road network simplification algorithm that preserves topological properties by Jinyoung Pung, Raissa M. D’Souza, Dipak Ghosal, Michael Zhang

“…Our method iteratively identifies and removes network elements that do not contribute to transportation functionality, such as self-loops, dead-ends, and interstitial nodes that lies on the same road line. …”

Camera placement optimization for CCTV in rail transit using BIM by Zhengyuan Xie, Xia Liu, Yazhuo Li, Hong Zhang, Qing Xiang

“…In many cities, the need for station video surveillance with “complete coverage without dead ends” has been high. The traditional layout scheme based on design experience estimates often results in large blind spots and low efficiency in monitoring. …”

No need to discriminate? Reproductive diploid males in a parasitoid with complementary sex determination. by Jan Elias, Dominique Mazzi, Silvia Dorn

“…Although in most species so far examined diploid males were recognized as genetic dead ends, we present a second example of a species with sl-CSD and commonly occurring functionally reproductive diploid males. …”

Feasibility of an environmentally friendly method of contaminant flushing in water distribution systems using containment ponds by Darud E. Sheefa, Brian D. Barkdoll

“….; A pond cannot clear an entire system with numerous dead ends.; The best location of a pond is not always at the furthest location from the source reservoir.; A pond location tradeoff between cost and environment can exists for some systems…”
