Abstract:

In this paper, we look at the propagation of internal solitary waves overthree different types of slowly varying region, i.e. a slowly increasing slope, a smoothbump and a parabolic mound in a two-layer fluid flow. The appropriate mathematicalmodel for this problem is the variable-coefficient extended Korteweg-de Vries equation.The governing equation is then solved numerically using the method of lines. Ournumerical simulations show that the internal solitary waves deforms adiabatically onthe slowly increasing slope. At the same time, a trailing shelf is generated as theinternal solitary wave propagates over the slope, which would then decompose intosecondary solitary waves or a wavetrain. On the other hand, when internal solitarywaves propagate over a smooth bump or a parabolic mound, a trailing shelf of negativepolarity would be generated as the results of the interaction of the internal solitarywave with the decreasing slope of the bump or the parabolic mound. The secondarysolitary waves is observed to be climbing the negative trailing shelf.

Abstract:

Cultivation of field crops is a challenge and risky business in sloping areas. A study was conducted as a demonstration model for the sloppy lands of Fateh Jang, Pakistan. The objectives of this study were to monitor the runoff water and soil sediment loss under different vegetative covers and slope gradients in comparison with bare fallow on each slope gradient. Three artificial slope gradients i.e., 1%, 5% and 10% were established and three crops i.e., Wheat, Gram and Lentil were cultivated on each slope gradient. Soil and water losses were quantified against each slope gradient and every cover crop for the period of 4 years. Total soil sediment losses during this study were 51% in Lentil, 30% in Gram and 25% in Wheat were lesser compared with bare soil whereas, water losses from Lentil, Gram and Wheat were 69%, 75% and 73% lesser respectively while compared with bare plots. The highest soil and water losses were monitored at 10% slope gradient following 5% and then 1% slope gradients respectively.

Abstract: An increase in economic growth, as well as urbanization in the hilly areas, encourages the construction in the hilly region. Considering this fact the engineers should assure the safety of constructions in the slopy region. To understand the past attempts carried out on the constructions of the building on the slopy ground the systematic literature survey is done which includes the parameters like types of the building suitable for hilly regions, slope inclinations for safe superstructure in seismic events, types of safety measures recommended to assure the safety of superstructure and necessity of interaction analysis for the constructions in the hilly region. The survey so carried out in the paper gives a fair idea about the research gap and thus motivates researchers to carry out future research on the gap identified. Keywords: soil-structure interaction; slopy ground; bracing system; literature survey; equivalent static analysis; hilly region constructions.

Bank slope seepage field is analyzed by saturated-unsaturated seepage theory under the three times cycle conditions of water level rising and drawdown . The pore water pressure distribution laws of the water level rising period, the stabilization period, the period of decline and decline stable period for every cycle are researched. The result shows soil near slope region is saturated easily after many rounds of water level rising and drawdown, and saturation region gradually increases. Soil phreatic line near slope falls fastly in the drawdown period, away from the slope, phreatic line declines slowly.

Abstract:

Reinhart (1983) claims that only pronouns whose antecedents c-command them may give rise to sloppy identity readings. This paper presents counterexamples to this claim; for instance, referring to the famous 1960 televised presidential debate, it is acceptable to say: "Kennedy looked good. People voted for him. Nixon looked bad. People didn't." Despite the fact that the antecedent "Kennedy" for the pronoun "him" is in a previous sentence, this pronoun allows a sloppy identity reading wherein the fourth sentence ("People didn't.") means that people didn't vote for Nixon. To analyze such cases, I first propose an extension to the ~ focus operator due to Rooth (1992), allowing this operator to alter the assignment function used to interpret pronouns. One construction where Rooth places ~ is in the answers to questions. My new meaning for ~ explains why pronouns are so constrained in answers, e.g., "Who does John like? He[=John] likes Mary." Next, I argue for the Question-Under-Discussion (QUD) model of discourse described in Roberts (1996), which theorizes that every sentence is the answer to an explicit or implicit question. Finally, I show that unbound sloppy identity can be analyzed as cases where pronouns are constrained by antecedents in implicit questions. Along the way, I argue that the QUD model is compatible with the coherence relation model of discourse due to Hobbs (1979), explaining how coherence can constrain pronoun reference as well.

Abstract:

Current transportation systems contributed to one quarter to the Greenhouse Gases (GhG) emissions and the mobility demand increases continuously. The transportation infrastructure design has to be optimized to mitigate these emissions. The methodology “Sloop” (acronym for Slope Optimization) has recently been set up to optimize the longitudinal road profile with respect to a Global Warming Potential (GWP) criterion calculated for both the construction and operational phases while incorporating accurate vehicle models. This paper proposes a customized optimization strategy that significantly improves the Sloop methodology. From an initial longitudinal profile generated by road designers, our algorithm identifies the optimized profile in terms of GWP. This optimization step is complex due to the large number of degrees of freedom, along with various constraints to obtaining a feasible solution and the computational cost of the operational phase assessment. The most stringent constraint entails connecting the profile with the existing road (i.e., a constraint on the final profile altitude). We have developed a specific algorithm based on the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method; this algorithm takes into account the quasi-quadratic nature of the constraint on the final altitude. In a real case study, our algorithm outputs a profile whose GWP assessment saves 4% compared to the GWP assessment of the initial profile. The benefit of our specific protocol for treating the final altitude constraint is demonstrated in this example. By means of this new efficient and open-box algorithm, profile evolution at each iteration is analyzed to determine the most sensitive degrees of freedom, and the sensitivity of the optimization with respect to the main construction parameters and traffic assumptions are conducted. The results are consistent and stable.

Abstract:

There is potential main landslip and thin-layer siliceous rock undisturbed at the lower part of the left side of Karst slop K133＋180. During the course of excavation, due to the effect of gravity, creep and ulcerate flexion slip surface might occur. From the slope geo-mechanics model perspective, this paper proposes two reinforce schemes on the slope based on the slope reinforce project experiences on the slope of similar condition in the area after taking into account the effect of rainfall conditions. The paper also compares the economic efficiency of the two schemes and considers that, provided that the slope design is stable, scheme 2 shall be more economically efficient. As a conclusion, the left slop K133＋180 was reinforced with scheme 2. So far, the slope keeps stable and firm through times of rainfall. The reinforce experience on the Karst slope K133+180 shall be able to act as a useful reference for similar projects.

Abstract:

We study the selection problem, namely that of computing the ith order statistic of n given elements. Here we offer a data structure called selectable sloppy heap that handles a dynamic version in which upon request (i) a new element is inserted or (ii) an element of a prescribed quantile group is deleted from the data structure. Each operation is executed in constant time—and is thus independent of n (the number of elements stored in the data structure)—provided that the number of quantile groups is fixed. This is the first result of this kind accommodating both insertion and deletion in constant time. As such, our data structure outperforms the soft heap data structure of Chazelle (which only offers constant amortized complexity for a fixed error rate 0 < ε ≤ 1 / 2 ) in applications such as dynamic percentile maintenance. The design demonstrates how slowing down a certain computation can speed up the data structure. The method described here is likely to have further impact in the field of data structure design in extending asymptotic amortized upper bounds to same formula asymptotic worst-case bounds.

Abstract:

1. Neostriatal spiny projection neurons display a prominent slowly depolarizing (ramp) potential and long latency to spike discharge in response to intracellular current pulses. The contribution of a slowly inactivating A-current (IAs) to this delayed excitation was investigated in a neostriatal slice preparation using current pulse protocols incorporating information based on the known voltage dependence, kinetics, and pharmacological properties of IAs. 2. Depolarizing intracellular current pulses evoked a slowly developing ramp potential that could last for seconds without reaching steady state and continued until either the pulse was terminated or spike threshold was reached. The slope of the ramp potential was dependent on the level of depolarization achieved by the membrane, and the apparent activation threshold for this ramp depolarization was approximately -65 mV. 3. Application of low concentrations of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP, 30-100 microM) or dendrotoxin (DTX, 30 nM), which are known to selectively block IAs, reduced both the slope of the ramp potential and the latency to first spike discharge. As has been described previously, blockade of inward Na+ and Ca2+ currents with tetrodotoxin (TTX, 1 microM) and cadmium (400 microM) also reduced the slope of the ramp depolarization. 4. A conditioning-test pulse protocol was used to examine the voltage dependence of inactivation of the ramp potential and long first spike latency. In the absence of a conditioning pulse, the test pulse evoked a slowly rising ramp potential and a spike with a long latency to discharge. A conditioning depolarization to approximately -60 mV decreased the slope of the ramp potential and the latency to first spike discharge evoked by the test pulse. A conditioning hyperpolarization to potentials below -100 mV, increased first spike latency. Application of a low concentration of 4-AP (100 microM) abolished the influence of prior membrane potential on the slope of the ramp depolarization and the latency to first spike discharge. 5. The kinetics of recovery from inactivation of the 4-AP-sensitive current were studied in the presence of TTX and cadmium by depolarizing cells to approximately -50 mV and then stepping to approximately -90 mV for increasing periods of time (0.5-5.0 s) before delivering a test pulse. The amplitude of the test pulse response decreased as a function of the hyperpolarizing step duration. When the test pulse response amplitudes were plotted against the hyperpolarizing step duration, the points reflected an exponential decay with an average time constant of 2.05 +/- 1.38 (SD) s.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The results of study showed that the slope of the muddy tidal flat was increasing as 0.0020‰ / a from 1987 to 2010. It was eroded slowly, which was lower as 0.021‰ / a of the slope above the department of 0 m contour line. In the meantime, the slope was eroded increased as 0.022‰ / a of the slope below the department of 0 m contour line. It still below the equilibrium state of tidal flat in study area, and the slope would be further eroded steeply. The study results were very important on the protection of muddy tidal flat, and would provide practical reference on management and development in the near future.

Full text

Abstract:

A program 3DSTAB combining slope stability analysis and reliability analysis is developed and validated. In this program, the limit equilibrium method is utilized to calculate safety factors of critical slip surfaces. The first-order reliability method is used to compute reliability indexes corresponding to critical probabilistic surfaces. When derivatives of the performance function are calculated by finite difference method, the previous iteration’s critical slip surface is saved and used. This sequential approximation strategy notably improves efficiency. Using this program, the stability reliability analyses of concrete faced rockfill dams and earth core rockfill dams with different heights and different slope ratios are performed. The results show that both safety factors and reliability indexes decrease as the dam’s slope increases at a constant height and as the dam’s height increases at a constant slope. They decrease dramatically as the dam height increases from 100 m to 200 m while they decrease slowly once the dam height exceeds 250 m, which deserves attention. Additionally, both safety factors and reliability indexes of the upstream slope of earth core rockfill dams are higher than that of the downstream slope. Thus, the downstream slope stability is the key failure mode for earth core rockfill dams.

The research object is slop near Yingrui highway, we mainly used oven drying method, combined with TDR, carrying out different vegetation types in interchange area and different substrates types in slope area about dynamic monitoring soil moisture in the spring. According to the result, The daily dynamic of the 2 types of slop soil moisture content has no obvious regular pattern, but each time the moisture content in soil slope are higher than rocky slope. We can get the conclusion after variance analysis, the main factors which influencing the discretion of the soil moisture content in slope and interchange area are the slope matrix type and the different vegetation reconstruction mode in interchange area. Meanwhile, according to the data, which we applied to the same experiment with both TDR and oven drying method, and after comparative analysis, we think, it’s completely effective to make TDR applied in deep soil moisture determination in some places such as interchange area, but the data about shallow soil moisture determination which got from the places such as in side slope is inaccurate. We should be more cautious when using it.

Abstract. Nonlinear transformation and runup of long waves of finite amplitude in a basin of variable depth is analyzed in the framework of 1-D nonlinear shallow-water theory. The basin depth is slowly varied far offshore and joins a plane beach near the shore. A small-amplitude linear sinusoidal incident wave is assumed. The wave dynamics far offshore can be described with the use of asymptotic methods based on two parameters: bottom slope and wave amplitude. An analytical solution allows the calculation of increasing wave height, steepness and spectral amplitudes during wave propagation from the initial wave characteristics and bottom profile. Three special types of bottom profile (beach of constant slope, and convex and concave beach profiles) are considered in detail within this approach. The wave runup on a plane beach is described in the framework of the Carrier-Greenspan approach with initial data, which come from wave deformation in a basin of slowly varying depth. The dependence of the maximum runup height and the condition of a wave breaking are analyzed in relation to wave parameters in deep water.

Abstract:

During the operation of outlet high slop of the hydropower station diversion tunnel, the monitoring data shown that the upper slope had an abnormal deformation tendency toward the upstream, which was different from the general slope deformation law. The paper analyzed the deformation mechanism of the high slop outside the hydropower station diversion tunnel in detail based on detailed analysis of the geological data. The analysis shown that the basic reasons of slope deformation were the upper hard and lower soft structure characteristics and the fully developed interlayer shear zone; the excavation unloading, reservoir impounding, reservoir water level change, rainfall, flood discharge atomization, rock weathering, water-rock long-term effects, and some other factors induce and aggravate the rock mass deformation.

Abstract:

Wind mass transfer in binary systems with asymptotic giant branch (AGB) donor stars plays a fundamental role in the formation of a variety of objects, including barium stars and carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. In an attempt to better understand the properties of these systems, we carry out a comprehensive set of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of wind-losing AGB stars in binaries for a variety of binary mass ratios, orbital separations, initial wind velocities, and rotation rates of the donor star. The initial parameters of the simulated systems are chosen to match the expected progenitors of CEMP stars. We find that the strength of interaction between the wind and the stars depends on the ratio of wind velocity to orbital velocity (v∞/vorb) and on the binary mass ratio. Strong interaction occurs for close systems and comparable mass ratios, and gives rise to a complex morphology of the outflow and substantial angular-momentum loss, which leads to a shrinking of the orbit. As the orbital separation increases and the mass of the companion star decreases, the morphology of the outflow and the angular-momentum loss become more similar to the spherically symmetric wind case. We also explore the effects of tidal interaction and find that for orbital separations up to 7−10 AU, depending on mass ratio, spin-orbit coupling of the donor star occurs at some point during the AGB phase. If the initial wind velocity is relatively low, we find that corotation of the donor star results in a modified outflow morphology that resembles wind Roche-lobe overflow. In this case the mass-accretion efficiency and angular-momentum loss differ from those found for a non-rotating donor. Finally, we provide relations for the mass-accretion efficiency and angular-momentum loss as a function of v∞/vorb and the binary mass ratio that can be easily implemented in a population synthesis code to study populations of barium stars, CEMP stars, and other products of interaction in AGB binaries, such as cataclysmic binaries and type Ia supernovae.

Abstract:

Community nurses often care for patients with sloughy venous leg ulcers. Slough is viewed as a potential infection source and an impediment to healing, but it is unclear if active debridement of slough promotes healing. Using a clinical scenario as a contextual basis, this literature review sought research evidence to answer this clinical question. A strategy based on the ‘4S’ approach was used to identify research evidence. The retrieved evidence included one systematic review, three clinical guidelines and six qualitative and quantitative studies. The analysis suggested that there is no robust evidence to support the routine practice of active debridement of venous leg ulcers to promote healing, and that debridement is associated with increased pain. Since autolytic debridement can be achieved through the application of graduated compression therapy, active debridement may offer no additional benefit.

Abstract:

In my writings on the evidence for postmortem survival. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I consider much of the literature on the subject to be very shabby, usually because the authors are empirically myopic or inferentially-challenged. That is, writers on survival notoriously ignore or treat very superficially relevant areas of research having their own extensive literatures (e.g., on dissociation, savantism, prodigies, gifted under-achievers, and language mastery), and too often they seem unable to formulate valid arguments. In Braude, 2003 I explored these deficiencies in great detail. Here, I’d like simply to comment on a particular class of confusions and a recent eruption of nonsequiturs.
