A unified method of predicting soil deformations induced by general and special-section tunneling in clays is proposed. Assuming that the tunneling-induced ground loss can be divided into infinite ...

Abstract: The well-known coupled-mode theory of waveguides is extended to include dielectric guides made of anisotropic materials. Exact coupled-wave equations for anisotropic dielectric waveguides ...

WindSled, a zero-emission mobile science platform, is capable of traveling thousands of kilometers and doing valuable science on the Antarctic Plateau. Wind-driven aerosols condition the ...

TABLE 1. The criteria for site classification. According to the definition of site classification in the national standard GB50011-2010, 27 stations employed in our study are classified into five ...

For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment of the Constitution has granted automatic citizenship to any person born on US soil. As the courts moved to temporarily block his order, various media ...

Whether it warms quickly, is prone to erosion or holds moisture, your soil will dictate the methods you use from cultivation to harvest and the yields you achieve. Learn the key properties of the six ...

We also provided the basics and started to describe the consequences of an anisotropic friction in relation to a nematic fiber orientation (see Appendix B.2). The same formalism could also integrate ...

An extension of this modeling would be to include anisotropic friction due to a nematic field, as done in Ref. [70], where the nematic fields, the fibroblasts and the fibronectin cause anisotropic ...
