Advanced finite element analysis of deep excavation case histories by Dong, Y

“…Two more complex case histories are then investigated through fully 3D analyses to explore the influence of various factors such as (i) neglecting the small-strain stiffness nonlinearity in the soil model, (ii) the selected K_0 value to represent the initial stress state in the ground, (iii) the appropriate anisotropic wall properties to consider the joints in the diaphragm wall, (iv) the parameters governing the settlements of adjacent buildings and buried pipelines, (v) the effectiveness of ground improvement on reducing the building settlement, (vi) the variation of construction sequences, (vii) the effectiveness of earth berms, and (viii) ignoring the openings in the floor slabs. …”

“…<p>The earth’s rotation on its axis with a 24-hour period gave rise to circadian rhythms, which originated pervasive biologic fluctuations in gene expression, cellular physiology and whole-organism behaviour. …”

Exploring spectral unmixing algorithms for applications to estimating asteroid surface compositions by Brown, EC

“…Thermal infrared (TIR; 5 − 25μm) spectroscopy is a valuable method for estimating modal mineralogy due to its non-destructive nature, and utility in laboratories on Earth and in spacecraft instrumentation to provide remote sensing observations. …”

A study on the relationship between employee benefit and employee work productivity at Majlls Daerah Raub (MDR) / Aqilah Hashim by Hashim, Aqilah

“…Employee benefit or welfare can be characterized as a corporate attitude or duty reflected in the imparted watch over a worker at all measures, supporting their work and the earth in which it is performed. A large portion of the companying as a rule see the employee benefit as important for their employee however they do not know about the most imperative one. …”

Synthesis and characterization of low density Bi(Pb)-2223 high temperature superconductor doped with europium and ytterbium / Nor Azura Che Mahmud by Che Mahmud, Nor Azura

“…The optimum level of low density superconductor obtained within the sample with ratio of polycrystalline sucrose to Bi(Pb)-2223 powder was at 0.050:1.950, where the highest Jc obtained was 6.053 A/cm2 at 77 K. The effect of rare earth elements, RE (Yb and Eu) substitutional doping in the optimum level of low-density (Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2 RExCa2-xCu3Oy), high-temperature superconductor have shown that for all series of doping concentration, the 7c and Jc gradually decreased as x is increased. …”

Establishment of rainfall erosivity calendar at main cities of peninsular Malaysia / Nur Zarina Zakaria by Zakaria, Nur Zarina

“…Soil erosion has become a very serious problem in Malaysia recently and it is one of the natural processes that occur on earth. With the accelerated land development both in public and commercial sectors, this problem will certainly persevere and deteriorate unless proper planning and management of land utilization is adopted at the early stage of any future land development. …”
