Comparative study on design of braced excavation systems by Toh, Yan Ting

“…From this study, the following findings are drawn: The Hardening Soil and the Hardening Soil with small-strain stiffness models generate conservative settlement profiles compared to the Mohr-Coulomb model; Combination 1 provides a conservative estimation of the wall bending moments; Upper strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 1 while bottom strut forces are more conservative using DA1 Combination 2 Scheme 1; Scheme 2 gives a large bending moment than Scheme 1; The Mohr-Coulomb model, generally, gives a smaller maximum wall bending moment than the Hardening Soil model; findings from sheet pile excavation deviate from those from diaphragm wall excavations; and lastly, consideration of factored E50/cu ratio produces similar strut forces and bending moments compared to unfactored E50/cu values.…”

Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: a comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Bhattacharjee, NV, Schumacher, AE, Aali, A, Almidani, O, Bandyopadhyay, S, Graham, SM, Lacey, BWH, Maude, RJ, Runghien, T, Rodriguez, JAB

“…Uncertainty from past data inputs and model estimation was propagated throughout analyses by taking 1000 draws for past and present fertility estimates and 500 draws for future forecasts from the estimated distribution for each metric, with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) given as the 2·5 and 97·5 percentiles of the draws. …”

Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Using intraday transaction data from the TRACE database, I analyse over 1,000 of the most liquid corporate bonds, a total of 9.5 million trades. Drawing on similar studies of other markets, the relationship between returns and order flow is modelled using a vector autoregression, and the information content of a trade is measured as the long-run price impact of a shock to order flow. …”

Nature-inspired lightweight auxetic structures for enhanced stiffness and absorption capacity by Zhang, Ee Teng

“…Finally, a new hybrid 3D auxetic structure along with its variant are investigated for both quasi-static and dynamic compression properties. Drawing inspiration from biological structures with hierarchical configurations, the investigation seeks to develop an auxetic structure with superior or equivalent properties to those derived from 2D designs, optimizing for dynamic loading conditions. …”
