To analyze the influence of stone column installation on the enhancement of soft ground and to reveal the physical aspects of the soil-pile interaction (SPI) mechanism, the stone column installation process is fully simulated by the three-dimensional continuous-discrete coupling (CDC) method for the first time.The stone column is simulated by parti
Slot waveguides are becoming more and more attractive optical components, especially for chemical and bio-chemical sensing.In this paper an accurate analysis of slot waveguide fabrication tolerances is carried out, in order to find optimum design Refrigerated Prep Tables criteria for either homogeneous or absorption sensing mechanisms, in cases of
Understanding how human-altered landscapes affect population connectivity is valuable for conservation planning.Natural connectivity among wetlands, which is maintained by floods, is disappearing owing to farmland expansion.Using genetic data, we assessed historical changes in the population connectivity of the ninespine stickleback within a human-
The recent SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic exemplifies how newly emerging and reemerging viruses can quickly overwhelm Wood Sculpture and cripple global infrastructures.Coupled with synergistic factors such as increasing population densities, the constant and massive mobility of people across geographical areas and substantial changes to ecosystems
